Iris Apatow sharpened a pale, lingerie-coded look with white patent pumps on Monday in Midtown Manhattan, wearing the pointed heels for a “Pretty Lethal” press stop outside NBC Studios with castmates Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Avantika and Millicent Simmonds ahead of the film’s Wednesday Prime Video release.

The pumps carried a clean, classic line. The pair featured glossy white patent leather, a long pointed toe, a low rounded vamp and a slim high stiletto heel. The shape stayed narrow and stripped back, without an ankle strap, platform or hardware. Against the rest of Apatow’s outfit, the shoe read crisp rather than bridal.
Apatow kept the rest of the look in a tight tonal range. She wore a pale satin camisole with lace trim, a fluid satin midi skirt and a long light coat in a matching washed ivory tone. That soft, slip-adjacent base made the pumps do the hard edging, with the white patent finish giving the look its sharpest surface.

The pair also fit neatly into the recent run of crisp white heels on red carpets and press stops. Dua Lipa wore white Christian Louboutin Miss Z pumps in New York last week, while Zendaya opted for white patent So Kate heels for the 2026 Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards earlier this month. Both looks pointed to the same recent shift: high white pumps worn with pale dresses instead of the nude or metallic sandals that have dominated for the past few seasons.
Apatow has been working in a similarly controlled lane across recent appearances. She wore white heels again at the January premiere of Hulu’s “Tell Me Lies” season three, this time in Tory Burch’s Twisted Heel Sandal.

At the SXSW premiere of “Pretty Lethal” on March 13, she leaned further into ballet reference points with pointe-inspired shoes. Two days later, she switched to black Gianvito Rossi Gianvito pumps with custom Rodarte at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
“Pretty Lethal,” directed by Vicky Jewson and written by Kate Freund, follows a troupe of ballerinas forced to fight for survival after taking shelter at a remote inn. Apatow’s lace-and-satin dressing nodded to that ballet setup, while the white pumps kept the finish precise enough for a New York sidewalk.
