The one thing that didn’t get nearly enough attention at this year’s Oscars was the footwear. No one could really be blamed, seeing as all the stars seemed aligned in their determination to hide beautiful heels and pumps behind long, overflowing dresses. However, the wonderful bloggers at Your Next Shoes were able to peak behind the dresses (somehow–I think we’d rather not know how, actually) and find out what the Red Carpet elite were swagging out with this year. And it turns out that several of them chose Jimmy Choo, making Jimmy Choo the big winner in the unofficial “Best Shoes” category at the Oscars.

Taylor Swift looking absolutely royal in her Jimmy Choo Crown Glitter-Covered Pumps.

Hayden Panettiere stunning in Jimmy Choo Vita Pumps.

And don’t worry: Weird Shoe Wednesdays will return next week!

When I think of Keds the first thing that comes to mind is tennis shoes, but that is no longer so!

Over the past couple years Keds has partnered with designers to create limited edition collections. The first one I can remember being really excited about was the Nanette Lepore for Keds collection.

After that I was in love with the Alice + Olivia collection for Keds, super cute sequin covered champions!

If you want to be even more exclusive you can create your own personalized Keds at the Keds Studio or on Zazzle – a DIY website where you can completely customize your own pair of Keds.

Keds have been coming out with some really cute updates in fabrication and colors to their classic Champion styles. And even their original classic styles have been spotted on all sorts of celebrities. Check out these celebs that were spotted wearing Keds around town.

Lady Gaga will never cease to turn heads with her daring fashion sense. At last night’s MTV VMA’s, Lady Gaga donned three different outfits that seemed to compete with each other for the Most Outrageous Outfit of the night.

The most talked-about dress is Gaga’s meat dress, below:

When walking the red carpet earlier that evening, Gaga wore a dress designed by the late Alexander McQueen. It looked a little like the ceiling from the Sistene Chapel. What the pic doesn’t show is that she was also wearing the famous Armadillo heels from her “Bad Romance” music video. Check it out after the jump: Continue Reading…

Do you have really bony feet? If not, do you want bony feet? Alicia Keys certainly does. She was rocking these platform pumps with tall skeletal heels last week at the FIFA World Cup 2010 Kick-Off concert. These heels come from Dsquared2′s Fall/Winter 2010 collection.

You can check out footage of Alicia Keys’ on-stage performance at the World Cup concert below. There are some pretty clean shots of Alicia in these shoes. Continue Reading…

Check out the stars of Sex And The City at the NYC premiere for their new movie, out this weekend (hah, like I need to tell you–some of you have probably already watched it at this point). Great fashion abounds but which is your favorite look?

See the rest of the stars after the jump. Continue Reading…

After looking through some of the fashion from the 2010 Met Gala, I’ve determined once and for all the absolute weirdest dresses on display there. And without further ado ……

Katy Perry’s light-up dress was clearly inspired by a combination of kids’ light-up LA Gear shoes and underground raves. Why, Katy, why!??! Continue Reading…

The lovely blogger over at Shoe-A-Day did an excellent job today (actually, very, very early this morning) compiling some of the best shoes showcased at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony and also figuring out what they were and where you might be able to purchase some for yourself. If you have a minute, head on over to Shoe-A-Day and show her some love. Personally, I favor Anna Kendricks’ nude plaform sandals (above) but there were plenty of great looks. Enjoy the rest below!

Last night, the Grammy’s took place, which meant another occasion for celebrities to show off their fabulosity. There were plenty of great looks to go around from a number of celebs. And then there was Lady Gaga, whose outfits always puzzle and confound me with equal feelings of transcendent, joyous wonderment and mocking scorn. At times, I think, “Wow, that looks amazing” and at other times, I’m like, “Wow …… she really made an outfit out of Kermit The Frog puppets.”

Her outfit last night was a retro-futuristic, solar-system-inspired purple dress that looks like it was ripped straight out of a 60′s Star Trek episode. To complete her ensemble, Gaga sported a pair of towering bejeweled platform shoes, custom-made by Armani Prive (as was the dress). Between these and the ‘Armadillo’ heels from her music video for “Bad Romance,” Lady Gaga must really want to get taller. Someone get the woman some milk, please!

A trailer and some pics for the Sex and the City II movie were released recently and, more importantly, kim of Shoeaholics Anonymous got a pretty good read of some of the shoes Carrie sports at various points in the movie.

According to kim:

1. I’m pretty sure these are Christian Louboutin Leopard Pumps. I can’t tell if hers are peep-toe or not, so they could also be Christian Louboutin Pigalle Pony Fur Pumps. But I think they definitely have the signature CL red sole.
2. These look similar to Christian Louboutin Cap-Toe T-Strap d’Orsay pumps, but the reference sites I found all seem to be replica CL’s. My guess is that at least one of her pairs of shoes will have been designed especially for the movie and will not be made available to the public until after the movie is a hit. They may even be Chanel, as Chanel is highly known for cap-toes.
3. These are definitely Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Sneakers.

Kudos to kim for having such a great eye. Trailer after the jump, because I know everyone’s giddy with excitement!
