牛津高阶英汉双解词典（第 9 版）

ˈcourt shoe (BrE) (NAmE pump)
a woman’s formal shoe that is plain and does not cover the top part of the foot 船鞋，半高跟鞋（正式场合穿的朴素女鞋）
pump
(especially NAmE) (BrE ˈcourt shoe) a woman’s formal shoe that is plain and does not cover the top part of the foot 船鞋，无带低帮女鞋，无带半高跟女鞋（正式场合穿的朴素女鞋）

“正式场合”和“朴素”，很难联系在一起。

牛津高阶英汉双解词典（第 9 版）

plain
3. not decorated or complicated; simple 不尚修饰的；朴素的；简单的
» a plain but elegant dress 朴素淡雅的连衣裙
» plain food 清淡的食物
» The interior of the church was plain and simple. 教堂内部朴素无华。
» plain yogurt (= without sugar or fruit) 原味酸奶
4. without marks or a pattern on it 素的；无花纹的；单色的
» covers in plain or printed cotton 单色或印花的罩布
» Write on plain paper (= without lines). 用无格白纸书写。

court shoe 释义里的 plain ，我倾向于是 第 4 个义项，可以说“素”，但是很难讲是“朴素”，去搜索 court shoe 的图片就知道了。
