Halle Berry added an FNAA-approved emerging label to her winter pump lineup in New York on Monday.
Seen arriving in Midtown on Tuesday, the “Crime 101” actor wore Jude’s Kiss Pump 90mm in brown leather. The pointed-toe style featured a slim vamp and low sides, set on a 90mm flared stiletto heel. In this colorway, which no longer seems to be available on the brand’s website, the pump’s upper takes on a dark chocolate tone with a subtle sheen.

Berry built the rest of the look around deep neutrals. She layered a double-breasted charcoal coat with peak lapels over a soft gray top cut with a draped, gathered neckline and a fluid, below-the-knee leather skirt in a rich brown. Oversize black sunglasses and loose waves with fringe framed her face.
Her choice puts one of Jude’s quieter silhouettes on the sidewalk at a moment when the brand’s Fame pump has been collecting most of the airtime. Founded in 2024 by Jurgita Dileviciute and Denitsa Bumbarova, the Paris-based label quickly outpaced its initial production targets and went on to win the Emerging Talent Award at the 2025 FN Achievement Awards. The Fame, Date and Mixer styles helped push first-year totals to roughly 15,000 pairs, with retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Fwrd, Mytheresa, Net-a-porter and Selfridges picking up the line.

Where the Kiss uses a straight, flared stiletto, the Fame pump is defined by a curved heel that has become the brand’s signature shape. That design has turned up repeatedly on recent red carpets and press stops: Bella Hadid wore a black pair at the New York premiere of “The Beauty” in the middle of January, while Gabrielle Union chose a gray-khaki suede version with a Ronny Kobo suit during a SiriusXM visit two days earlier. Jude’s Date mule has also been in circulation, including a white leather pair on Rachel McAdams during a “Jimmy Kimmel Live” appearance two weeks ago.

Jude’s expanded celebrity reach follows early placements on Kylie Jenner, Nicole Kidman, Kim Kardashian and Tracee Ellis Ross, among others, as the brand focuses on streamlined, fashion-forward staples for a professional customer base. The Midtown sighting now adds Berry to that roster at a time when she has been promoting both Respin Health, her wellness platform centered on menopause care, and the upcoming film “Crime 101.”
