On Tuesday in Midtown New York, Halle Berry showcased the Jude Pumps, specifically the Kiss Pump 90mm in brown leather, adding the FNAA-approved emerging label to her winter footwear collection. Berry’s choice highlights the brand’s refined shoe design as she attended events linked to her film Crime 101 while promoting her wellness platform Respin Health.
Details of Halle Berry’s Stylish Ensemble and Shoe Selection
Bearing a pointed-toe silhouette with a slim vamp and low sides, the Kiss Pump stands out on its 90mm flared stiletto heel. The brown leather features a dark chocolate shade with a subtle sheen, a colorway currently unavailable on Jude’s official platform. Berry paired the pumps with a double-breasted charcoal coat featuring peak lapels, a soft gray top with a draped neckline, and a below-the-knee leather skirt in rich brown tones. Her look was accessorized with oversized black sunglasses and loose waves framing her face with a fringe.
The Rise of Jude as a Brand in the Footwear Industry
Founded in 2024 by Jurgita Dileviciute and Denitsa Bumbarova in Paris, Jude quickly gained recognition beyond its initial production goals. The label secured the Emerging Talent Award at the 2025 FN Achievement Awards and saw strong demand for styles like the Fame, Date, and Mixer pumps. With roughly 15,000 pairs sold in its first year, Jude’s products are available through high-end retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Net-a-porter, Selfridges, and Fwrd.
Signature Designs and Celebrity Endorsements of Jude Pumps
The Kiss Pump’s straight, flared stiletto heel contrasts with the brand’s signature Fame pump, known for its curved heel, which has gained visibility on red carpets and media events. Notable appearances include Bella Hadid wearing the Fame pump at The Beauty premiere in New York, Gabrielle Union styling a gray-khaki suede version on SiriusXM, and Rachel McAdams in white leather Date mules during a Jimmy Kimmel Live appearance. Early high-profile wearers also include Kylie Jenner, Nicole Kidman, Kim Kardashian, and Tracee Ellis Ross, reinforcing Jude’s position as a favored choice among fashion-forward professionals.

The collaboration further cements Jude’s credibility as a sophisticated footwear brand appealing to celebrities and discerning buyers alike.
