Emma Roberts shined in black leather Casadei blade heels at the red carpet for the 2011 CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute on December 11 in Los Angeles. The ‘Art of Getting By’ actress matched the pumps with a black Maria Lucia Hohan Mousseline dress with black lace details and a Kotur clutch.

The tribute, which was hosted by CNN host Anderson Cooper, honored everyday people who do extraordinary things. Profiles for the Top 10 CNN Heroes, who all received a $50,000 grant for their charitable work, are available on the tribute’s official website. Each hero honored had his or her story told by a celebrity, including Jerry Seinfeld, George Lopez, Sofia Vergara, Laura Dern and Ice Cube. ‘Glee’ star Chris Colfer presented the “Young Wonders” with Miley Cyrus.

The presenters during the show included ‘Dancing With the stars’ winner and ‘All My Children’ star J.R. Martinez, Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am and NFL Super Bowl MVP quarterback Kurt Warner. Martinez co-hosted the live pre-show, while Holly Robinson-Peete hosted the social media suite on the red carpet.
