At Sunset Towers in West Hollywood, Brooks Nader shifted from shine to polish, trading the mirrored Aquazzura sandals she wore earlier in the week while promoting her family’s upcoming series “Love Thy Nader” for cream patent pumps with a knife-point finish.
The stilettos carried a stripped-back profile: sharply pointed toes, a triangular vamp cut in glossy cream patent, and a slim high heel. The upper ran seamlessly from toe box to counter, broken only by the dark sole and black heel tip.

She paired the pumps with a belted cream mini set that leaned into utility codes, complete with flap pockets and a cinched waist, layered over ribbed knit shorts. Oversize sunglasses, gold hoops and a white clutch stayed within the neutral palette, keeping the shoes at the center of the look.

The move also broke a streak. Just days earlier, Nader brought back Aquazzura’s Purist 105 stilettos in mirrored gold twice in less than a week, first at Jaguar’s Monterey Car Week event and then at the “Love Thy Nader” rooftop premiere. Those sandals — thin-strapped, high-shine and unmistakably metallic — have served as her default punctuation for most of the summer.
That range taps into a wider cycle of neutral high-heel pumps resurfacing on carpets and off-duty moments alike. Margaret Qualley opted for Gianvito Rossi’s 105 pumps in optic white during her “Tonight Show” press run, while Julia Fox has turned to exaggerated cream and white heels across multiple appearances in Los Angeles. However the proportions differ, the focus is the same: pointed shapes, glossy finishes and minimal distraction.
With “Love Thy Nader” set to premiere on Hulu next week, the outing kept Nader’s shoes as part of the storyline. The series follows her and her three sisters — Sarah Jane, Grace Ann and Mary Holland, who also just starred in an Alice + Olivia denim campaign together — as they turn their family dynamic into prime-time material, extending the same mix of spectacle and precision that has marked her red-carpet style.
