Oscar Shoe Hits and Misses!

by Tracey

Well, the best thing about the Academy Awards 2007 is that they are over. I was checking out pictures to see the best shoes, and that was nearly impossible as most of the actresses attending wore dresses that flowed over their over priced shoes. A few crowd pleasers definitely put their best foot forward (best leg, best hip…). Beyonce’ worked the camera and that split in her dress like crazy. Her gorgeous silver beyonce-shoes-oscar.jpg shoes have that platform that gives me the impression that she’s got Gucci on. Just speculation.

A certain miss on the shoe circuit was Lucy Lawless. lucy-2.jpg
She’s just not your glamour girl. And these shoes with her toes hanging off the end, look horrible. Lucy is a tall girl, which i’m sure translates to a big foot (which I have as well), so Lucy, if you are wearing open toed shoes, at least buy your size. This is not a time to skimp. Toes dangling over the ends of your shoes look BAD!

Another sure fire miss was Kanye’s girl Alexis. Skyrocketing platform stilettos combined with an ultra mini dress may work at the club, but not at a black tie affair like the Oscars. Plus the shoes, no matter how much they cost are just plain ugly. Kanye has got great style, so maybe he needs to start a little shoe counseling for his girlfriend eh?kanye-and-alexis.jpg

Model Helena Christiensen hasn’t lost her model talents. Not only does she have on fabulous shoes that work with her gorgeous gown, but she workd the red carpet like a pro. Like a seasoned pro. It’s nice to see that all those years of working the catwalk haven’t gone to waste. So many models look like they haven’t learned a darn thing from years of wearing couture clothing and being draped by the best in design. Helena was an Oscar night shoe HIT!

    Lucy (Lawless) has a tendency to let this happen. I mean her toes sticking out of her shoes. I do not think she cares. I say this as one of her most devoted fans, who loves it that she is always, herself. Pure Kiwi! So Luce, keep your toes where you want them! Charis.xX

    Well…who’s looking at toes when you look like Lucy Lawless? ^_^

  7. Koorosh Says:

    Lucy has very beautiful toes, she was definitely the best thing at the Awards and her toes definitely were too! Ask a man who knows like me.

  8. Faye Says:

    I think Lucy lawless just has narrow feet, and aren’t buying narrow sizes, c’mon, which designer makes narrow sizes!!! In another picture from that night, a whole inch of the insole can be seen from behind her shoes. Just sticking out like a sore thumb. And the ones Alexis are wearing are Yves Sait Laurent. They are terrible to find and the picture doesn’t do them justice. Apparently, they are right now the “it” shoe. Beyonce, Gwen Stefani, J.Lo, Jamelia, and I think Victoria Beckham has them too. but all in black with a white heel and a sliver peep toe which just screams couture. It’s called “Tribute”, but I agree, Alexis doesn’t make them look hot at all!
