Beyonce steps out to support husband Jay-Z’s concert, which benefits the United Way of New York City and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation, held at Carnegie Hall in Manhattan in New York City on February 6, 2012

Beyonce debuted her post-baby body in this body-hugging yet figure-flattering Alice by Temperley ruched red dress. Along with it, she also debuted these Bollywood-style Christian Louboutin Devidas platform pumps from the CL Spring/Summer 2012 collection which features many other Indian-inspired shoe styles:

Here are the other Christian Louboutin Spring/Summer 2012 shoes — with their mirrors, sequins and swirly metallic thread embroidery, are unmistakably inspired by Bollywood glamour and Indian elements:

Christian Louboutin Bollywoody embroidered suede and strass peep toe platform pumps in pink suede and aqua suede

As of writing, we only know the price on the Christian Louboutin Bollywoody pumps in aqua suede and it’s a staggering $2,795.00. So imagine how much more the Devidas and the Mendoza styles would cost considering that they’re closed toe instead of peep toe.

The Christian Louboutin Bollywoody embroidered suede and strass pumps in aqua suede are available at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. Expect the rest of the Bollywood-inspired Christian Louboutin shoes to drop at these retailers very soon!

These lace up fold over style boots have a city chic downtown feel that I adore. I love the colorful Asos leggings that Beyonce pairs them with as well.

I found these boots on line at Bluefly, however all sizes were currently out of stock. As my quest went on I was able to locate them in a size 7 here. So, if you happen to wear a 7 and have an extra $690 to drop on these you’re in luck. Take a peek and tell us what you think.

We’d like to know if there’s something in Italy’s water because it’s such an amazing coincidence that these two Italy-based luxury brands both designed and released skate like shoes at the same time!

We’d like to know if there’s something in Italy’s water because it’s such an amazing coincidence that these two Italy-based luxury brands both designed and released skate like shoes at the same time!

While Dsquared²’s blade-bottomed ice skate shoes look like you can really skate on ice with them (warning: you can’t), Alain Quilici’s skate shoes switch out the wheels for a more stable 1″ platform. Still, that neither makes them any less whimsical nor does it make the 5-inch screw-like heel any less harder to walk on.

That also doesn’t stop Beyonce Knowles herself from wearing them and from causing a stir simply because she was spotted wearing these ultra high-heeled skate shoes while being five months pregnant:

This might’ve been bad publicity for Beyonce but this celebrity spot definitely put Italian shoe designer Alain Quilici on the map.

In case you’re wondering, Alain Quilici also makes somewhat normal-looking shoes such as these fur-trimmed leather platform booties:

Alain Quilici leather and fur boots, $1,330.00

These “normal” shoes aren’t as out there as the skate shoes but the prices on them are still abnormally high for us regular folk.

If you’ve got the thousand plus dollars lying around, you can shop for these shoes and check out more Alain Quilici designs at LuisaViaRoma!

Leopard print is huge right now and Beyonce definitely know how to rock the trend. I love that she keeps the rest of the look simple and unfussy. Her deep blue bag adds another nice element and a pop of subtle color to the ensemble.

Beyonce (accompanied by Jay-Z and Kanye West) shops at Intermix boutique in New York City on October 8, 2011

You can only see a peep of it in the picture above, but that flash of red on the soles of Beyonce’ shoes undoubtedly identify them as by Christian Louboutin:

Its name does not lie: this particular Christian Louboutin design really is made out of trash. Sure it’s trash “from the Louboutin atelier in Paris” but you know, it is at the fundamental level still trash.

The fact that this shoe is made of bits and pieces of garbage makes each and every shoe “unique”. The shoe above has loose threads, magazine cutouts and raffia; this one below has ribbons, twine and a postage stamp underneath its clear laminated plastic:

Different pieces of trash on a different pair of Christian Louboutin Eco Trash slingback pumps

The latest style of this shoe is this Winter Trash version with a python platform:

At this point, I think Christian Louboutin is just playing with us. He’s well aware that even if he quite literally makes a shoe out of garbage, he knows can still charge over a thousand dollars for it and it will still SELL.

That’s the power of a visionary designer (and a great marketing team).

Think these made-out-of-trash shoes aren’t trashy? You can shop for the $1,095 Christian Louboutin Winter Trash slingback pumps at Barneys.

Beyonce really knows how to give a great performance. And that’s why her seemingly simple announcement completely trumped everything else that happened at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.

Well, I gotta start somewhere and I thought why not get the ball rolling with the real Queen B, Miss Beyonce Knowles who looked fly in a black and white outfit as she touched down at the Nice Cote d’Azur Airport last Sunday:

Well, I gotta start somewhere and I thought why not get the ball rolling with the real Queen B, Miss Beyonce Knowles who looked fly in a black and white outfit as she touched down at the Nice Cote d’Azur Airport last Sunday:

Beyonce Knowles arrives with her mother Tina Knowles at the Nice Cote d’Azur Airport in Nice, France on June 12, 2011

Beyonce’s Helmut Lang Spring 2011 Relic blazer looked like it got a little wrinkled from the flight but it was still the perfect topper to her black tank top and black J Brand Agnes ankle zip moto skinny jeans.

She accessorized her look with straw boater hat, round frame eyeglasses and these standout platform peep toe pumps on her feet:

As you can see, this is one very perfectly coordinated outfit because even Beyonce’s shoes have got the black and white theme going on. Thankfully this time, she relegated the eye-searing red color to her nails instead of choosing it as the color for her shoes.

Beyonce’s perfectly matched black and white shoes are these pumps by Gianmarco Lorenzi:

You can find an all-black suede and leather version as well as an all-suede version at FarFetch. Retail price is $827.00.

Celebrities like Beyonce, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, and Nicole Richie have been spotted out in Louboutin heels during day and night. These sexy sky high pumps, sandals and booties always scream style and originality.While browsing the new pre-fall collection from Christian Louboutin I discovered these hot sling back platforms that are destined to find a home in my closet.

The ‘Ecotrash’ style really caught my eye because they are so unique. Each pair will vary slightly so no one else will own the exact same design as you. I love the mixed print paired with the classic peep toe slingback design. In my opinion, these heels would work with almost any outfit. I can’t wait to see how they look with some skinny jeans and a basic white tank. Check out the ‘Ecotrash’ platform from Louboutin and tell us how you’d wear these sexy and eclectic heels.

I’m just kidding of course but I am absolutely loving how fashionable Beyonce and her stylist Ty Hunter’s visions of a post-apocalyptic world are. My eyes were glued to the TV trying to take in as ...Read more]]> I just saw Beyonce’s new “Run The World (Girls)” video which premiered on American Idol‘s Top 3 performance episode last Wednesday. All I can say is if this is how girls are going to dress when the world supposedly ends today, then let it be.

I’m just kidding of course but I am absolutely loving how fashionable Beyonce and her stylist Ty Hunter’s visions of a post-apocalyptic world are. My eyes were glued to the TV trying to take in as much of Beyonce’s different outfits and I felt very visually rewarded.

For a video about ruling the world, Queen Beyonce’s first regal look in the video was aptly from Alexander McQueen:

Beyonce wore a look straight off the Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 runway which as you may know is the very last collection McQueen himself worked on.

In this still, Beyonce is wearing the Alexander McQueen Grinling Gibbons Gold Heeled Thigh High Show Boots which retailed for $3,995.00 when they were available. An expensive price but with McQueen’s death and Beyonce wearing them in her video, I’m betting that the price on them has gone even higher.

FYI: This entire look is straight out of Beyonce’s own closet. Every single female you see here is wearing something from Beyonce’s personal wardrobe which Beyonce herself has worn in the past.

Beyonce’s next look was full-on fringe from head-to-toe. LA designer Brian Lichtenberg is responsible for that black fur vest while Norma Kamali is behind those fringe shorts.

A custom made Giuseppe Zanotti gold plate body piece held everything together and black fringe sandals which swished and swayed with Beyonce’s every dance move finished the whole look. Those fringe sandals were made by Ty Hunter himself, the person behind all of the amazing high fashion ensembles in this entire video.

Beyonce wore a couple of couture gowns from the Givenchy and Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2011 Couture collections after the fringe dance sequence. This ultimate look of the entire video came next:

This is what kept my eyes glued to the TV for the remaining two and half minutes in the video. How can anything top this Gareth Pugh Fall 2011 dress with metallic gold scales?

And the shoes? Very appropriately named as Gareth Pugh Starship Enterprise heels. I felt like stomping my foot down along with Beyonce in this part of the video.

Beyonce then changed into this yellow Emilio Pucci Spring 2010 dress with thigh high slits up to there. This look was used in the sneak previews so everyone knows that her shoes are the Sergio Rossi Fall 2010 Talisman gladiator boots with studs and feather details.

After writhing in the sand in a Norma Kamali Aztec black jumpsuit, Beyonce slipped into her last look for the video:

While her green Emilio Pucci Fall 2011 sequin sleeve gown looked amazing, those combat boots she’s wearing them with are nothing to note. I’m not even going to bother finding out who made them because c’mon, they’re combat boots.

After a series of jaw-dropping high fashion shoes, wrapping up with these combat boots was a downer for me. I also took it as a premonition of the confusing ending in which Beyonce and the strong, world-running girls gave the men in the video, of all things, a salute:

Anyway, I’m still going to make this song my summer jam.
