In March 2013, beautiful celebrities gathered at St Martins Lane Hotel in London for the 4th Rodial Beautiful Awards. The event celebrates women of style, beauty, and elegance. Some attendees opted for classic styles, while others embraced edgier looks. As usual, my eyes were glued to their shoes.
My favorite was Rebecca Ferdinando, who wore a summery yellow cutout dress paired with black heels featuring a neon inset at the platform. Here’s a closer look at five celebrities who stole the spotlight with their impeccable style and stunning shoes:

Rebecca Ferdinando stands at a height of 5 feet 7.5 inches (171.5 cm) and wears a shoe size of 9 US. This British actress is best known for her roles in The Rise & Fall of a White Collar Hooligan and GridIron UK.
On her resume, she typically lists her height as 5 feet 8 inches and her weight as 125 pounds. However, she playfully mentioned on Twitter, “I’m actually 5 feet 7 and a half — with heels, you can round me up to 5 feet 9.”
