(sapatos/calçado de) cerimónia


Explanation:
A court shoe (British English), or pump (American English), is a shoe with a low-cut front, the vamp, and without a fastening.
They are usually worn by women, but are still traditional menswear in some formal situations, where the style is sometimes called an opera slipper or patent pump. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_shoe

Eu chamaria "sapatos ou calçado de cerimónia/de festa", a julgar pela Wikipédia, mas sem grandes certezas.
