Megan Fox is a total stud

Apr 012009

megan_fox

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.

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?

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.)

Her heart will go on...a shopping spree.

Canadian chanteuse Celine Dion has confessed to having somewhere between 2000 and 3000 pairs of shoes. Wow. I don’t even want to imagine the amount of closet space you would need to house that collection.

She lists ‘shopping’ as a hobby. Is shopping really a hobby? I mean, sure, it can be done with skill, but it isn’t exactly macramé.

Lily Allen hearts shoes

Lily Allen was spotted looking positively bowled over by some shoes today. I can’t tell if that look is “OMG NO WAY!” or “OMG FUG.”

Judging from the pale denim cut-off miniskirt in the full picture, those two sentiments may be one in the same.

CL Hellraisers

Rachel Bilson was spotted out and about in a pair of Christian Louboutin Ariella studded boots.

Studded for her pleasure?

Seriously, what ARE these?

First of all, I should come clean and declare upfront my absolute LOATHING for ankle boots. But these CL’s just take that loathing to a whole new level. The all-over stud job is just a little too “I’m so badass! Look at me drop $1200 bucks on a pair of designer boots!”

To be charitable, I think a very few people could pull these boots off, with the right look. But those people are few and far between, and Rachel Bilson just isn’t one of them.

Don't be a heel - Antonio Berardis' heel-less shoes

British designer Antonio Berardi has created a pair of heel-less high heels. The Daily Mail suggests wearers accessorize with a matching crash helmet.

Berardi was apparently inspired by Latin American music and 1980′s post-modernism (oh geezus, can a grad student never escape post-modernism?!)

As can be expected, celebrities (that special class of novelty-addicted people with too much time and money on their hands) are flocking to purchase these pricey immobilizers.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Uma Thurman, and Victoria Beckham are apparently on this list – can you imagine them together at a cocktail party, all teetering around in these ridiculous things?

Never mind the shoes; I can’t imagine them at a cocktail party together period. Gwyneth would be staring mournfully out the window, Victoria would be glaring at the buffet spread, and Uma would be busting some ninja moves on Darryl Hannah…wait, who invited her?

Renee Zellweger - Oscar contortionist

Feb 252008

The Skinny Website posted a photo of Renee Zellweger from this year’s Oscars that provoked a host of reactions in me. Namely, will someone please get this poor starving peacock a sandwich?

I was somehow able to stop staring at the strange and painful-looking foot contortion long enough to think hey, are those Christian Louboutins? Sweet!

In the full photo, Ms. Z is still rocking a most unfortunate haircut. I’m sure it’s practical for women who build sturdy pine furniture all day long, but Renee, take note: that is not a look that can take you from day to night.

And finally: what is up with that so-called Red Carpet? Fug plum shag, more like.

Stuart Weitzman gives Payless fug some Oscar bling

Steve Weitzman's million dollar Oscar shoes Every year, designer Stuart Weitzman makes poor people everywhere seethe with rage by designing an obscenely expensive pair of shoes to be worn by some lucky not-so-famous actress at the Oscars.

This year, Weitzman apparently decided to take this upper-class inside joke to the next level, unveiling a pair of shoes that could only be described as “Seriously? You dropped a million bucks on those?”

Gossip blog Mollygood dishes the details:

The ‘Retro Rose’ shoe features two Kwiat diamond roses, fixed to 1940’s-style beige metallic T-strap high heels. More than 1,800 Kwiat diamonds weighing 100 carats were used to make the roses and 400 of them have been incorporated into the design of the shoe, which is worth over $1 million.

Kind of obscene, no? What must Weitzman have been ~~drinking~~ thinking as he cobbled these together? “Oh, shit, the writer’s strike is over? I guess I need to put together those goddamned shoes for the Oscars, asap. Well, ok, I’ll take these last-season $35 gold shoes from Payless, and uhm…diamonds! Yes, that’ll do it. Lots and lots of diamonds…where’s my glue gun?”

Well, he got one thing right, they do look ‘retro.’ The Retro Rose sounds like a pin-up girl. I guess that’s why Weitzman decided to foist his tacky pity shoes on Juno writer and former stripper Diablo Cody – apparently without even asking her.

I guess she decided that she didn’t want his diamond-encrusted pity. On Oscar night, the fug-bling wonders were nowhere to be seen, and Ms. Cody was sporting a sensible pair of gold flats. You go girl. Stick it to the man.

A Very Pregnant J-Lo in Killer Heels

Wow. Wow. This picture, from The Superficial, boggles my shoe-loving mind.

[Ignore her stylish bellhop escort.]

Jennifer Lopez is as big as a house (maybe tent would be a better descriptor given the super cute muumuu-coat), and yet, check out her footwear! Though I’ve never been pregnant, I have it on very good authority that heavily pregnant women don’t sashay around on smoking hot stilettos. Rather, they waddle. Slowly and with great effort.

I didn’t even think that the fabled ‘fat ankles’ of pregnancy could even fit into such a dainty ankle strap. And someone must have had to do up those tiny little buckles for her; heck, I can barely muster the motor skills to fasten those things, and I don’t have a massive belly to reach around.

I don’t know how she’s managed to fit into them, let alone walk in them (and I hope she doesn’t have to stand up in them for long), but still.

Girlfriend looks FABULOUS.
