Kate Winslet stuck to her tried-and-true suit-and-pump mix on Monday night, giving it a kitten heel twist with Jimmy Choo’s Romy pumps at her SAG-AFTRA Career Retrospective.
The pointed-toe style, cut in the signature low-line vamp of the Romy family, featured a slim 60 mm heel and a smooth, uninterrupted upper in the brand’s “Rattan” colorway — a neutral shade that has circulated across red carpets even as this exact version cycles in and out of Jimmy Choo’s main assortment.

The Romy has been a constant in the formal footwear landscape since its 2016 debut, reinforced by creative director Sandra Choi’s view of the pump as “an art form” defined by its silhouette and balance. Winslet’s look tracks with the Romy’s clean, adaptable design. She paired the tan pump with a black suit — a double-breasted blazer with satin peak lapels, tailored trousers and a cream satin button-front shirt — a formula she has used often across red carpets and press stops.
The kitten heel height places her in step with a broader low-heel run this fall. Toward the end of her pregnancy, Rihanna incorporated the Romy in a gray-and-cream python finish into her maternity wardrobe, letting the pointed toe peek from oversized denim. Emma Stone continued the low-height pattern in October with Manolo Blahnik’s Susa sandal, a flared kitten silhouette worn with archival Donna Karan satin separates for “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” The same week, Tracee Ellis Ross intersected the trend with Alaïa’s leopard-print thong mule, while Rita Ora leaned on Gianvito Rossi’s pointed kitten pump with sheer neutral socks in London.

Within Jimmy Choo’s own lineup, the Romy remains the brand’s most adaptable pump, produced in multiple heel heights and materials and worn by figures ranging from Dua Lipa to Dr. Jill Biden. Winslet’s tan pair fits squarely into the silhouette’s reputation for durability across wardrobes and decades.
For the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s conversation, which traced Winslet’s three-decade film career and previewed her upcoming projects — including her directorial debut “Goodbye, June” and the next “Avatar” installment — the low-heel pump offered a functional base under a straightforward, tailored look.
