The petite star adds five inches to her height in her painted YSL platforms while shopping in L.A.

The new mom hasn't lost her style edge, adding braided Balenciaga sandal-booties with metal heels to her skinny jeans.





MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG

The Gossip Girl star gives us plenty to whisper about in her surrealist Marc Jacobs heels.

FERGIE

The singer gets G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S in her head-to-toe Dolce & Gabbana for her birthday – check out those harlequin snakeskin peep-toe booties!





JENNIFER CONNELLY

Never one to shy away from tough fashion choices, the Reservation Road star set tongues wagging with her braided black and white Balenciaga sandals at the film's Los Angeles premiere.





BEYONCÉ

The singer showed off her vocal prowess and went Rainbow Brite in her athletic-inspired Balenciaga sandals at the American Music Awards.





JESSICA BIEL

The star needed help walking into designer Giambattista Valli's February fashion show in his jaw-dropping six-inch platform heels.

MARY-KATE OLSEN

Leave it to the cutting-edge star to take the gladiator sandal trend to new heights with these knee-high Chanels.





ASHLEY OLSEN

Call it two of a kind – Mary-Kate's sister showed off her own over-the-calf Azzedine Alaia gladiator sandals at an event in August.





LINDSAY LOHAN

Always up for trying out the latest trend, the star trotted out in open-toed ankle booties at a salon opening in Los Angeles in the spring.

JESSICA ALBA

Usually one for classic style choices, the Good Luck Chuck star tied on these dominatrix-inspired Versace platforms at a Madrid photocall in July.





BEYONCÉ

The singer took on a punk edge with her studded DSquared boots while dining out in N.Y.C. in October.





MISCHA BARTON

Perhaps taking "moon boots" a little too literally, the actress hit the streets of Manhattan in celestial vintage boots in April.





SARAH JESSICA PARKER

Carrie's rosettes made a comeback when the Sex and the City star showed off these flower-bedecked Alexander McQueen heels in March.

HEATHER GRAHAM

Graham herself referred to her sky-high, metallic Versace platforms as "stripper shoes." We're still not sure how the 2007 nominee (for Bobby) managed to make it down the red carpet!





NICOLE SCHERZINGER

The Pussycat Dolls frontwoman rocked out in her studded Christian Louboutin ankle boots at TRL in August.





MARIAH CAREY

Always one to add extra sex appeal to any outfit, the singer headed to dinner in L.A. in five-and-a-half inch Giambattista Valli platform sandals.

I like Jessica Biel's pair. They're pretty cute. They're what I call "sitting down shoes" because to try walking in them would be next to impossible. Without help, ofcourse, a la Jessie herself

Mischa Barton......

Love SJP's shoes, beautiful

 

[ValleyO]

I think most shoes Balenciaga makes are unforgivably ugly.....

TY for posting this!

I've never seen anyone in Balenciaga's "lego" shoes before. I thought Beyonce could rock them... but no. They're just FUG.

lol

 

[Geminiz06]

Those d squared shoes were wayyyyyy worse though...lol
At least her mama(i think) made her a matching jacket for those legos (balenciagos). So I think it looks more fun and costumey. Not neccessarily to be taken seriously....But why why get those D squares

I like MK Olsens gladiators. She can pull them off IMO!

Actually, I thought of all the photos, Beyonce in the "lego" shoes looked pretty good!

I did like SJP in the McQueens. Those are crazy cool.

This is a great thread!

Thanks for posting, it's good to see these "unique" shoes with someone modeling them
Most of them worn them well, I think the long gladiators made the Olsens' look even shorter IMO.
