6 Alternatives to Leighton Meester’s Gold Pierre Hardy High Heel Jeweled Sandals

Leighton Meester is Queen of the Gladiators.

Well, at least that’s what I thought when I saw this picture of hers.

From the dress down to the gold shoes, it speaks of the gladiator inspiration. This shot was taken when she attended the launch of her organic hair care line, Herbal Essences in Madrid.

Personally, I’m not that crazy about the look. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean it’s bad, I simply mean I can’t wear it. I think it takes a certain kind of personality to carry it and Leighton has that.

Now let’s focus on the shoes – a yellow gold pair by Pierre Hardy with a wide T at the front.

The T of course, now looks more like a shield, which only makes her whole outfit even more reminiscent of a gladiator costume. Nonetheless, I think Leighton pulled off this look quite well.  Please check out Jeweled Sandals for more sandals of this type.

The shoes by the way, retails for a whopping US$1,053. It also comes in black (which I prefer), and it is available at www.farfetch.com.
