The Christian Louboutin shoes in this Who Wore It Better post are not in the typical sexy Louboutin design, so, unsurprisingly, they’re styled with two very different looks.

We first saw them on Diane Kruger during her retail therapy session at The Grove last Saturday. The gleaming Louboutins amped up her simple T-shirt and jeans ensemble (and so did that Prada “Saffiano Bauletto” bag in orange — how gorgeous can a bag be?).

We spotted them next on Mischa Barton, who was looking the part of a sexy siren at the Kin by Andre Borchers bag collection launch in Hamburg, Germany.

Mischa could’ve worn simple strappy sandals or the usual platform pumps with her black halter dress, but we love that she took a fashion risk with these Christian Louboutin shoes.

Diane Kruger used her Louboutins very casually, while Mischa Barton styled them to be photo-op-worthy. Who gets your vote? Diane Kruger or Mischa Barton?

The multiple buckled straps give these Louboutins a moto-inspired look, while the wingtip cap toes provide them with a cowboy vibe:
