A lot of celebrities wore gorgeous heels at the 2012 American Music Awards held the other day, but only one lady made us do a triple take — Brandy.

The R&B singer decked herself in a one-of-a-kind Egyptian-inspired creation by up and coming designer Ekaterina Kukhareva and a pair of glam beaded glittery booties we couldn’t take our eyes off of. The combination was unusual, yet Brandy somehow made it work, and she simply looked fabulous.
