Are you ready for romance? Developed on the slender “Pigalle Follies” silhouette that we’ve spotted on Jada Pinkett-Smith, Emilia Clarke, and Gwen Stefani, this exquisite 100mm bootie from Christian Louboutin is dressed in a romantic black marquise lace.
It is handmade in Caudry, a commune of the Nord department in northern France, which is known for its lace-making.
Beautiful but delicate, it is best to slip these zippered booties on when you arrive at your destination. The Gipsy booties are also available in a wide range of other colors, which we’re also featuring below.
