RED CARPET TRENDS: LOUBOUTIN FEVER
Sunday, November 18, 2007

They are probably the most popular shoes among female celebrities and they are so easy to spot with signature red bottoms. Even Jay Z had to write a rhyme about the famous footwear on a song featured on American Gangster.
Whether you’ve figured it out by now or not, Christian Louboutin footwear has been a favorite for many women for the past few years and has expanded from a trend to an absolute must have next to the little black dress. Beyonce, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Serena & Venus Williams, and Nicole Richie have been some of the biggest shoe fans wearing the hottest designs. From leopard prints, to those studded boots from this season - Louboutin has a lot in store for the young, hot, and fashionable.
Luckily, all of these styles are conveniently at the tip of our fingers and available on sites like Net-A-Porter, Barneys, and Neiman Marcus. Some of you better start penny saving - these shoes start at $500…of course, it must be an exclusive price for that exclusive red stamp on the back.

Those shoes are off the hook…I remember when I first saw Rihanna wear them. Damn I wish I could afford a pair, but alas I am just a broke college student. Rhianna killed it in that dress @ the AMA’s by the way

some of those shoes look a little too extra…but those boots that Rihanna was wearing sometime this summer, i think they were brass knuckle boots, it seems like this was the brand she wore

uhm….these shoes are giving to them to wear as advertising for the company. More than likely they are not spending that much money on these so neither should we. I rather take that money and put it towards a cruise or stock! That’s just me.

They are fly but just like Manolos they are made for looks not comfort. My husband is a foot man and I cant walk around with feet looking like some of these celebs. I have one pair that are for entertainment purposes only. I love the way they look but hate the way they feel. DO NOT buy these types of shoes over the internet if you are a first time buyer. These are try on first shoes.

Wow……Those shoes look hottt….and worth whatever price they are….Not that I would pay the $$ for it, but I wouldnt be mad @ whoever does.
You know I hate when people buy expensive things that dont look expensive….esp. Many of those designer handbags with their names written all over the bag….its looks tacky and cheap…(I dont care how much its cost it stills look cheap)

The first three pairs of shoes on the left are ugly. Oh and Jay-z knows about Louboutins because Beyonce gets every pair they put out, whether ugly or not.

Yeah, they are hot, but I refuse to spend that much on that on shoes. I ain’t super rich like B and RiRi, so I ain’t gonna pretend that I am buying theses shoes and struggling next week. I stick to DSW, Barefoot Shoes, Baker’s, and Off Broadway where you can get similar looks at cheaper prices.

“Actually, Louboutins are made for comfrot along with style unlike Manolos.”
Thats what they say but… can you wear them for even a few hours? There are a few but they are not the sexy ones. Sexy and comfort will never go together I dont are what their marketing idea is. There is no comfort in a heel that high.

whytry?
Monday, November 19, 2007 /
I agree Thomian! They may feel comfortable in the store but after a few hours they can wreak havoc on the balls of your feet & don’t even think about standing for long periods of time! Still hot though! LOL!

So these shoes have been seen for years now. You gotta be a bit fresher on the fashion tip.

Yeah.. these shoes have been “hot” for a few years now. And spending $500+ for a pair of heels with a red bottom = crazy.
I doubt [insert celeb here] actually pays for them, since wearing them in public is tantamount to free advertising (see above post).
Louboutin = cash that could go in a savings account.

I’ve got just about every designer shoe you can think about but guess what, that money could’ve went into the bank. Mine are exclusive and I sooo don’t do logo’s. But like a few of you have mentioned, these shoes will “burn” the hell outta of the balls of your feet. These celebs have a thing called “chauffeurs.” So when you see that photo op of them on the street, best believe they getting into a waiting vehicle right after. Most of those same shoes I spent so much on I barely wear. They are only for when I am going out on a date/dinner.
p.s. Don’t wear very expensive shoes in the club unless you are in the VIP section.

If you are new to Loboutins, you have lived under a rock! I almost bought a pair, but when it came down to it, I opted for Jimmy Choo, lol. Maybe next birthday I’ll treat myself to Louboutin, who knows?
As for those patent leather pumps, I’m sorry, but you can find plenty of shoes that look just like that for way less. I always look for a cheaper, yet comfortable version first!

Some of them are cute.. and some just plain TACKY! That one pair with the cork heel and black patent leatherlooks like Jessica Simpson! I’ll stick with DSW all day everyday! Save your money family! The other posts are on point….These celebs are given these shoes for advertisement!

unfortunately, i have big ass feet for a woman.. i run a size 10.5 to 11 in some shoes, so most high end designers don’t cater to women like me. Oh well. there is always nine west.

I like whatever strikes me as cute, whatever that may be…anything from Target to Urban Outfitters… Another thing, I so hate the fact that everybody knows about the red soles…I get so tired of that…and the Herve Leger thing…get a clue, a vogue magazine, google some stuff, you’ll see there’s a wide world of fashion that even some of your lamest superstars haven’t revealed to you yet…
