Teyana Taylor made the 52nd American Music Awards a family affair on Monday, arriving at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in purple python Christian Louboutin pumps while her daughters Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. and Rue Rose Shumpert joined her in bright boots.

The singer and actress, who is nominated for Best Female R&B Artist and set to perform during the show, wore Christian Louboutin’s $1,895 Miss Z pumps in Rhapsody Yellow. The 100 mm style had a tapered pointed toe, a low-cut vamp and a covered stiletto heel, with the python leather shifting from bright yellow at the toe into lavender, violet and black through the sides and back of the shoe. The cut exposed more of the top of Taylor’s foot than a traditional closed pump. As she posed in the high-slit gown, the arch and heel revealed flashes of Louboutin’s signature red sole.

Taylor paired the pumps with a strapless violet dress that pushed the same color story. The gown featured an asymmetric, ruched bodice and a sharply cut side opening. At the skirt, the draping opened into a high slit on her left leg, keeping the animal print Louboutins in full view. She added a sheer matching scarf low around her arms, leaving the length to fall into a train behind her.

Taylor arrived with daughters Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. and Rue Rose Shumpert, turning the carpet into another family footwear moment. Iman appeared to wear Tecovas’ Jolene Western Boot in red with a light-wash denim set and a studded black belt. Rue wore Tucker + Tate’s Kids’ Cher Cherry Embroidered Western Boot, a pale pink cowboy boot with red cherry embroidery, white piping, pull tabs and a low stacked heel, styled with white socks, a pink textured dress, a white cardigan and white sunglasses.

Taylor has been a fan of python silhouettes, especially in purple. In January, she wore Nina Ricci’s spring 2026 over-the-knee purple python boots at Variety’s Pre-Golden Globes Party, pairing the reptile-skin shaft and sculpted wedge heel with Harris Reed’s metallic jacquard, polka dots and acid-toned color. This isn’t the first time the “One Battle After Another” star was accompanied by her daughters for a high profile event either; she brought her children to Thom Browne’s fall 2026 show at the GQ Bowl, where she wore the brand’s striped Thom John spectator platforms and Iman picked up the show’s Asics thread in Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers.
