The non-profit organization BritWeek celebrated its 8th year of recognizing Britain’s contribution to film, fashion, music, and science in the US at a launch party held at a private residence in LA on Tuesday. As the British stars were the belles of the ball, many of them gravitated toward wearing light-catching metallic shoes to make sure that all the eyes that were on them stayed on them.
The footwear fashion at the event was a blinding disco ball of bronze, silver, and gold, and, to us, that’s a good thing. Put some shades on, and scroll down for our top five hottest metallic shoe picks.
1. Lady Victoria Hervey’s Badgley Mischka “Taylar” Sandals
You know her as the British socialite who wore that scandalous half-see-through dress, but now it seems Lady Victoria Hervey is out to become known for her great taste in shoes.
