Anne Hathaway's Sparkly Oscars shoes: WANT

Feb 272011

When it comes to the Oscars and other awards shows, I’m just in it for the fashion. Living sans TV and subject to irritating US-only content restrictions for video, I usually just wait for my favourite blogs to put up photos of all the fabulous and fug gowns. But tonight twitter was abuzz about Anne Hathaway’s amazing shoes, and I couldn’t contain my curiosity until tomorrow!

Brian Atwood pumps

After much googling, I finally found a photo of the much fauned over shoes. They are, apparently, Brian Atwood custom black satin “Fiona” pumps with 8,000 hand-applied Swarovski Crystals. [via coolspotters and @StyleWriterNYC]

All I can say is wow. This is how you do sparkly shoes, people. Not “smeared in paste and rolled in glitter.” No, Brian Atwood does it right. I cannot even imagine the painstaking effort required to glue 8,000 crystals to a pair of pumps.

These shoes look like the night sky in a part of the world where light pollution doesn’t obscure the stars. I am 100% certain that Cher must have a pair of these. She probably wears them when she’s just hanging around the house. They’re like her Crocs.

Ebay find: ISAAC pink peep toe pumps

Tonight I went on Ebay to mark a package as shipped because I just sold my crazy pink stilettos. There must have been a palpable dearth of pink shoes in the apartment with the stilettos gone, because in short order, I succumbed to these really neat pink and purple shoes by Isaac Mizrahi. I confess, I suspect I bought them in part because I so enjoyed reading his book “How to Have Style” last spring. It’s a light, funny read and provided a welcome distraction while visiting family

I don’t buy leather shoes new, but I am okay with buying them second hand (high five for recycling!). The listing said they were made in Italy and originally cost $265; that’s definitely a world apart from the many pairs of cheap made in China plastic crap shoes I have in my closet. I am hoping it means they will be more comfortable, even with that heel. (That heel! Why am I still buying heels?! I live in my hiking boots!) I will just have to learn to run for the bus in these.

Megan Fox is a total stud

First off, I would like to say that I totally covet Megan Fox’s hair in this photo. Gorgeous. Now try to break your eyes away from those luscious curls and mosey on down to the studded boots.

I’m really not a fan. I just don’t dig the oversized brass studs. But we can at least thank the goddess of good taste that they aren’t studded all down the front too; that would make them officially horrendous.

Anyway, if you love em’, gotta have em’, and have $1500 to blow, you too can bring home these studly Guccis. Or, you can save your money for other recession-worthy purchases like toilet paper, and get a very similar (and I think cuter) pair for about $300. Check out The Look 4 Less for details on both.

Leighton Meester's Ad for Reebok

Not a huge fan of those shoes — after all, who would pair black clunky hi-tops with such a fresh pink skirt and little white tank? — but nonetheless I do love Blair Waldorf Leighton Meester’s ad for Reebok. (Also…I will confess that as I write this I am catching up on Gossip Girl, my guilty pleasure!)

Kanye West's Signature Sneakers for Louis Vuitton

I really like Kanye West’s style. That being said, I don’t know how I feel about the shoes that the self-described “Louis Vuitton don” has designed in collaboration with LV. The off-white pair is nice and clean looking, and the hot pink sole on the other pair is pretty cool – but tassels? To be honest though, I don’t even like tassels on loafers. But I do like the red trainer below. Why should women have all the fun with footwear?

Natalie Portman's Vegan Shoe Line Went Under?

I just read on Ecorazzi that Natalie Portman’s vegan shoe line for Té Casan is no more!

I had been quite excited about this shoe line when it came out. Granted, at roughly $200 a pop, these shoes were not in my price range. But still, it was great to see a designer line of vegan shoes, promoted by someone as talented and classy as Natalie Portman no less. Not to mention that all of her proceeds were donated to the Nature Conservancy.

Unfortunately, it seems that Té Casan succumbed to the economic turmoil. RIP, classy vegan designer shoes. May you rise again in better economic times.

Cesare Paciotti's Dita-inspired "glam-gothic" platforms

Check out these wild platforms by Cesare Paciotti, who named them after burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese. I don’t really see the Dita reference – after all, she seems like more of a classic pumps kind of gal than a “glam-gothic”, shoe-within-a-shoe girl.

But I have to say, as wacky as these platforms are, I kinda like them – especially the bright blue crocheted pair. They say, I’m a down to earth gal who loves to knit and can make a great banana loaf, but I haven’t lost my “edge.” Err, right?

Sarah Palin Shoes

Now you can wriggle your toes into the very shoes that are marinated with Sarah Palin’s campaign foot sweat!

That’s right, Sarah Palin’s much-noted red Naughty Monkey Double-Dare pumps are being auctioned off on ebay. Bidding ends in 5.5 hours and is up to $1200, but the reserve has not yet been met.

Of course, if you love the shoes but don’t want the karma (nor the credit card debt), you can always buy your own spanking new pair of Naughty Monkeys here for $86. Personally I love the tan colour.

Shauna Sand wears high heels in the sand...lol

Gossip blog D-Listed has some thoroughly ridic pics of Shauna Sand and her beau strolling along the beach, Ms. Sand wearing her lucite stripper heels.

Girlfriend – I know these shoes are your trademark. But seriously – platform stripper heels on the beach? Aside from looking ridiculous, that also looks like a broken anke.

Maybe her hamstrings have just freakishly shortened after years of wearing 7″ heels and she can’t walk flat-footed anymore. That must be the only explanation for why someone would give up that lovely toes in the warm sand feeling to teeter around on platforms.

Paging Dr. Cuddy - your outfit is coding!

The Golden Globes best and worst fashion post over at Jezebel was full of some absolutely gorgeous dresses and some true horrors. And as always, I was scanning the shoes. There’s always at least one pair that hits the fug radar, and this year didn’t disappoint!

But oh Dr. Cuddy, why did it have to be you?!

Avert your eyes from the oversized black satin karate belt for a second and look at the shoes.

Maybe these black uber-strappy-to-the-ankle front-zippered heels would work with another outfit…maybe. But with a sparkly, slinky black dress to the Golden Globes? Has Dr. Cuddy been into House’s Vicodin stash?

Lisa Edelstein is gorgeous but this is just not on. Next time, she should ask Hugh Laurie what he thinks of her shoes before the event. I have a feeling he’s a shoe man.

(Not that I have a super huge swoony crush on Dr. House. Because I don’t. Really. He’s not dreamy at all. His piercing blue eyes and rugged good looks and cutting wit do nothing for me. Nothing at all.)
