To match with her attire, Trump wore a pair of Manolo Blahnik pumps, seemingly opting for the designer’s BB style from Fall 2024. The pumps were made of a gray wool. They feature a pointed toe and a rounded vamp. The stiletto heel is likely about four inches.

Having recently been brought back to the tip of everyone’s tongues via Zendaya, Trump has worn the shoe in black python, black leather, red python and more. Her flats — often ballet style — hail from Vivier and Louboutin frequently.

She is sometimes also seen in Chanel’s classic two-tone cap toe ballet flats. She was spotted in those in June 2023 while walking into Trump Tower.
