With a surrealist set reminiscent of a René Magritte painting, the Christian Louboutin Summer 2026 campaign showcased the maison’s sculptural silhouettes and saturated styles in a delightfully playful way.
An expressive collection where elegance meets a carefree spirit, the Miss Z Sling Back in cerulean sets the tone with its sleek, retro polish and distinct red sole. The Mulazee, a kitten-heel mule with a delicate tone-on-tone fabric bow, also in cerulean, adds a sophisticated touch for day and night. The maison did their contemporary take on a Mary Jane with the Jane Nina, with an elegant, rounded toe and additional strap further up the foot. The Affabula lines explore texture and form, with the sculptural linen Affabula Mule, and the playful Affabula Lace Up sandal, crafted from Haiiro green silk, resulting in a scrunchie-like effect. For evening, the maison offered a brown patinated calf leather pump, the Fannylove Alta, a Louboutin signature. For the men, the Orlando loafer adds a sharp, graphic contrast, reminiscent of tap shoes worn by old Hollywood stars like Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly.
The brand also debuted a new line of bags, dubbed the Venus, after the Greek goddess of love, with a silhouette recalling the emblematic Miss Z shoe, while the versatile Eva mini, with its pillow-like silhouette, gets reimagined in bold new hues.
