I love Nicole Scherzinger for her typically great shoe choices and countless other talents, not to mention her sexy legs. To her birthday party in Las Vegas, she added several inches of height with a pair of gold sky-high slingback pumps.

Born on June 29, 1978, in Honolulu, Hawaii, the popular singer of mixed ethnic descent turned 34 years old on June 29, 2012.

“I’m 5’6″ and about 125 pounds right now,” Nicole said in an interview with Men’s Fitness in 2008. “I’m 5ft 5in and weigh 9st 3lbs,” she added one year later in an interview with The Mirror.

The Moana star paired a metallic sparkly dress by Haute Hippie with bright gold Giuseppe Zanotti slingbacks. She accessorized with jewelry by Norman Silverman and Loree Rodkin.

Would you style a metallic heel with a metallic dress? I think the element is better left as an accessory instead of a head-to-toe color choice.

We found Nicole’s heels in the same glamorous shade at Farfetch and Amazon!

Do you see what we mean by a bit too much metallic? Gold is great but too much of a good thing can definitely be bad.

I would have opted for a different heel with this dress. Perhaps a strappy black sandal with gold details would have been more appropriate. Even a red or plum-colored pump would have worked and broken up the continual sheen a bit.

These platform slingback pumps feature an open toe and oversized bow detail. They have a very sleek and modern design but the shiny gold metallic leather makes them really fun and flirty as well.

I’d like to wear them with a little black dress or sexy super skinny cropped jeans instead of a metallic cocktail dress. They’d even work with some prints if the pattern is low-key and the colors work.

The question is really more about Nicole choosing them for this ensemble. Would you like to show off your legs in similar shoes?

You can find similar gold heels at Kim Kardashian’s ShoeDazzle for $10.
