Selena Gomez showed off Roger Vivier Viv’ Canard Slingback Pumps for the 77th Cannes Film Festival today in France.

The last time we saw the Disney alum she was smiling from ear to ear as she left the 3rd annual Rare Beauty Mental Health Summit in New York City on May 4. She opted for Manolo Blahnik BB pointed-toe heels that retail for $725. Gomez has been trying on various silhouettes lately as she donned black suede mules from Black Suede Studio at the Time 100 event in New York City in late April.

The actress was in attendance at the Cannes Film Festival to promote her new film, “Emilia Perez,” featuring Karla Sofia Gascón, Zoe Saldana, Edgar Ramirez. The musical crime comedy tells a story of an unsatisfied young lawyer who falls in with a cartel leader longing for a different life.

The annual film festival held in Cannes, France previews new films of all genres, including documentaries, from all around the world and brings out many A-list celebrities to its many different premieres.

About the Shoes 

The Viv’ Canard pumps, made of glossy patent leather, combine features from the Maison’s heritage. They have a square tapered toe, inspired by an archival design. The straps are adorned with the distinctive rounded mini buckle. The lacquered stiletto heel features the embossed Roger Vivier emblem, and the insole is recognizable by the iconic heart motif.

Roger Vivier’s Legacy 

Renowned clientele of Roger Vivier included esteemed figures such as The Beatles, Gloria Guinness, Ava Gardner, and the revered British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. Notably, the Queen honored Vivier by donning his design for her coronation in 1953, an extraordinary moment for the designer.

Inspired by the savoir-faire of French embroidery houses, his designs were extravagantly embellished and meticulously crafted, elevating the status of shoes to sculptural pieces.
