So you thought you were really working it in those 4 inch stilettos? Forget it sister. Yves Saint Laurent has introduced a towering 5 1/2 inch stiletto platform that has all the A list Hollywood divas lining up.
Reports RAAKHEE MIRCHANDANI of Page Six:

The must-have shoe for spring is the “Tribute” from Yves Saint Laurent, adorned with a towering 5 1/2-inch heel. Sold out in most New York retailers, it’s one of the tallest high-fashion shoes ever produced - yet celebrities such as Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani can’t wait to walk at elevations usually reserved for Las Vegas dancers and Vivid Video actresses.

The $640-$660 Mary Jane style comes in four colors: violet, red, black suede and black leather. The slingback version comes in violet, black leather and green suede. Adding to the walking challenge - and the reason the heel can go so high - is the 11/2-inch platform on the front of the shoe.

BuLuckily, the “Tribute” also comes in a more manageable 3 1/2 -inch version. If you’re a wimp.

Check out Christina Aguilera working the super sexy, super high heel YSL Mary Jane.

Shoe collectors and shoe fetishes alike will be clamoring for this hot shoe. It’s sure to be a classic.

I was in a horrible car accident when I was 20. Broke nearly everything there is to break in my body. After I came to a couple days later, my first words were, “Where are my shoes?” Never mind that my best friend and I were in ICU fighting for life. All I cared about were those beautiful wooden sole platform shoe with a perfect heel with long wrap ties. They were classic! I could wear them today and no one would shudder and think “vintage”. Yes, my shoe addiction goes back for years and years. And so does my love of platforms.

Piperlime has some gorgeous plaforms they are showing off this week, and I think you should have a look!

I’m loving this platform wedge by daniblack:

My thoughts are that you should have at least one hot pair of platforms for spring/summer. Make them a color that you will get the most milage from. Go ahead, get shopping!
