Cynthia Erivo Brings Christian Louboutin’s Hot Chick Pump to GQ’s Men of the Year Event in London

Fresh off the “Wicked: For Good” New York premiere that took place on Monday, Cynthia Erivo jetted back home to London to attend GQ’s Men of the Year event on Tuesday. The actress was one of the three celebrities who were named “Man of the Year” by the publication this year, alongside Skepta and Pierce Brosnan. For the event, Erivo returned to her go-to Christian Louboutin pump — the Hot Chick.

Throughout the press tour for “Wicked: For Good” and other Hollywood events like the Governors Awards on Sunday, Erivo has reached for the Hot Chick again and again. Switching between the black patent leather style that she wore to Tuesday’s event and a vibrant red custom pair, the singer has complemented her looks with one of Louboutin’s most popular designs.

The Hot Chick is a signature stiletto for the luxury footwear brand that features a pronounced arch, deep décolleté, a sharp pointed toe, and a steep 100mm heel. While at first glance the shoes appear to be the footwear designer’s So Kate or the Pigalle Follies, the Hot Chick stands out thanks to the hand-stitched scalloped edges that reveal glimpses of the side of the foot.

The heels have a timeless appeal thanks to the sleek lines, while the glossy black patent leather helps elevate any look. The shoes are available for $945, and also come in blush, white, pink and more.

Less than 24 hours after wearing a custom all-black Balmain gown to the “Wicked” sequel’s premiere, Erivo found herself on a different red carpet showing off another head-turning look. This time, she opted for a fur coat from Bottega Veneta’s spring 2026 collection that her stylist, Jason Bolden, styled as a dress.

The garment is a voluminous, icy blue-gray jacket from Louise Trotter’s debut collection for the brand. The piece is a fun spin on a traditional fur coat, with the jacket being constructed from fiberglass needles woven together that give the piece a shimmering hair-like texture that moved like feathers as Erivo walked in a video she shared on her Instagram. She accessorized with diamond earrings from Marli.

Erivo is having a remarkable and busy week. She was in attendance as British GQ honored their “Men of the Year” and more people who have helped shape culture in 2025, leaving an unforgettable mark on sport, art and entertainment. The celebration was an exclusive dinner and party at 180 Thames in central London. Erivo also released her book “Simply More: A Book for Anyone Who Has Been Told They’re Too Much” on Tuesday, and “Wicked: For Good,” also starring Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey, hits theaters this Friday.
