Fabulous Shoes Out In The Wild

Here’s the always lovely Rachel McAdams at the Toronto Internation Film Festival on Wednesday. McAdams, who was on hand to promote the her new movie The Lucky Ones, wore a pair of black patent booties with sexy cut-outs. Take a closer look at these super-cute pumps:
Just wanted to make a quick to note to bring something to everyone’s attention…
These are by Givenchy.
They cost $165.
They’re made of plastic.
While I was shopping in Old Navy the other day, I noticed a section of shoes by the cash registers. I had to do a double take to be sure that I was actually seeing what I was seeing, for I have not seen a sight like that in a while.
They were selling jelly shoes. Yes, jelly shoes. As in those plastic shoes that gave everyone stinky feet and bad blisters in 1990. Apparently, shoes are going the way of money and beauty - plastic is in!
There are precious few moments that I get to say things like this, so let me enjoy it: Lindsay Lohan looks fantastic in this photo. No leggings or “ankle gloves”, and her dress appears to actually be a dress, and not just some oversized t-shirt with her ass hanging out. The green colour looks fantastic on her. And dare I say it? She looks happy, and not in that “I just downed three vodka Redbulls with ecstasy chasers” kinda way. Kudos to Lindsay.
Rachel Bilson was on the OC, which is now defunct. Why anyone still cares about her is beyond me. Maybe it’s her baffling love of cankle-inducing footwear:
Here’s the lesser of two evils, Nicky Hilton, at Barney’s the other day. The bag-like dress hanging off her twiggy frame isn’t really doing it for me, but I’m just happy I’m not looking at Paris. I sometimes forget about Nicky. I imagine it must get cold and lonely in the shadow of Paris’ overwhelming sluttery and skankeration.
Apparently Nicky is a fashion designer now - which seems to be the chosen profession of useless, spoiled rich girls (Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag, I’m looking in your direction). I hope this bag-dress-fedora combination isn’t walking down her runway, but I do like the Steve Madden sandals on her feet. Nicky’s wearing the Steven by Steve Madden “Banglez” gladiator sandal. These sandals feature trendy stud details, similar to the popular Balenciaga studded gladiators - but for far less bucks.
Why does today’s gladiator trend demand that everyone’s legs look like they’re in bondage?
Here’s MK Olsen leaving her boyfriend’s house wearing a pair of gladiators by Chanel. I don’t think I’d wear a pair of these, but I will say that MK does pull them off. They go hand in hand with her unique style. I still have visions of whips and chains and dominatrices in my head when I look at them. Perhaps it’s just visions of my true life calling.
There’s a fringe trend upon us. Behold:
Here’s LC out and about in a pair of blue, fringed-ankle sandals. I’m not opposed to the fringe trend; many designers have gotten it right, like the Betsey Johnson “Hipster” or many of the moccasin inspired boots from Minnetonka. However, LC’s sandals aren’t doing it for me. The Fug Girls have already expressed disdain at LC’s footwear choice, and made the valid point that walking around with these things on your ankles would be a bit irritating. I personally don’t think they’re flattering at all and I wouldn’t wear a shoe that looks like it needs to be combed.
Shauna says, “Bow down before your lucite queen!”
I get the impression that Shauna Sand might be into bondage. Or at least her legs are.
This summer is certainly becoming the summer of the gladiator! Put on your helmet with the plume everyone, because here we go:
Lindsay Lohan turned the big twenty-two yesterday. If you felt the Earth vibrate last night, it was probably the vibrational fallout from this party girl’s shindig. I was going to send her a present, but apparently they don’t let you send a cocaine and adderall in the mail.
Here’s Gwyneth Paltrow leaving a restaurant after an early morning breakfast in NYC. Paltrow was in town supporting her husband’s band Coldplay at their Madison Square Gardens gig. Gwynnie is wearing a pair of brown leather Christian Louboutin sandals on her feet, a pair of which I am quite envious. Check them out:
Put on your riot gear! It’s Naomi!
Naomi Campbell is such a nice girl. The supermodel recently stopped to strike a pose for some photos the other day. Shortly thereafter, she went batty and began screaming like a banshee. No one was hit this time, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t try.
Kate Moss is a disco inferno
Here’s Kate Moss in Berlin sashaying around in promotion of her perfume Velvet Hour. She’s wearing a dress that I would regularly think is hideous, but she still seems to pull it off effortlessly. Supermodel at work, people!
