The lady in question was spotted shopping in Bond Street on Friday, where she snapped up a pair of the iconic stripy-heeled shoes to wear to the Television Awards taking place tonight. Can you guess who she is? Read on over the jump to find out

Katy Perry's stripy lace-up peep toe boots

Katy Perry was recently spied in another of her stunning 'latex couture' dresses, this time featuring a cute candy-floss design that really defies the age-old idea that rubber has to be dark and gothy, but let's not get too hung up on that for now. What really stood out in this get-up was the footwear: a pair of fabulous lace-up peep-toe boots with red and white helter-skelter stripes - and anything that distracts from a rubber dress has got to be worthy of comment!

The boots are made up in a style that's very much 'of the moment', with skater-style laces and open toes at the front. And they suit Katy Perry's image just fine. If we could track down a pair, would you go out in boots like that?

Do you like Jessica Alba's blue velvet shoes?

Actress Jessica Alba makes an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman at the Ed Sullivan Theater in Manhattan, New York on August 30, 2010. Jessica might need a new stylist from the looks of her velvet blue heels which have been paired up with a cute multicolored summer dress.  Fame Pictures, Inc

Jessica Alba courted fashion controversy this weekend when she stepped out wearing a flirty little dress and a pair of what some have described as alarmingly chunky blue velvet shoes. The shoes, which we believe are by Yves Saint Laurent, are actually rather lovely in their own right (we think so, anyway!) but whether they were a wise choice with that dress is a matter for debate...

What do you think of this combo? We're thinking that the main thing about chunky shoes is that they demand a more robust outfit - maybe some heavier fabric, or even a more casual over-all look. Or are we missing out on a whole new trend here?

Taylor Momsen bares all on her 'stripper' shoes

Taylor-Momsen.jpgTaylor Momsen has been dishing to a magazine about her fashion choices; in particular, her penchant for clear-soled, skyscraper-high shoes. Asked where she shops, we're sure no one will be surprised to learn that the answer was 'stripper stores'.

Taylor said, 'Stripper stores mainly. Especially for shoes. I bought them [the clear stripper heels with tip cup] because they were tall.' She added, (as if we wouldn't believe her) "Seriously. I like to wear platform heels on stage and they're actually hard to find. But fans started putting money in them, so now they are filled with tons of bills. It's pretty amazing."

Perhaps this could explain the revival...are we all harbouring hope that someone will fill our own shoes to the brim with notes and coins, too? Talk about recessionista chic!

Get The Look: Karen Gillan's festival style

karen-gillan.jpgIt's getting the that time of year when we start thinking about teaming our tights with our favourite shoes and heeled boots. Loads of new hosiery styles are appearing in the shops and soon enough, bare legs will sounds like madness. Goth styles are going to be huge once again, so the more black lace you can stretch over your skin this autumn, the better...

Karen Gillan's got in on the act early though (it's almost as if she has a time machine!) and was recently seen parading her own pins in these Red or Dead 'Evelyn' tights, from Tightsplease, who have some fabulous new styles in their pre-fall collection here. She's also wearing a particularly hot pair of heeled booties, which we've identified as Neosens' Mencia; a low-cut boot with serious Amy Pond attitude!

Big Brother's shoe queen NADIA back in the house!

ultimate-big-brother-nadia.jpgThe Shoewawa crew indulged our trashy TV leanings last night by watching the start of Ultimate Big Brother, which looks to be a highly entertaining romp down memory lane (and we have to admit a certain fondness for "nasty Nick Bateman", who it's great to see back on our screens!)

But the real star of the show for Shoewawa could only be one person: Nadia. The winner of Big Brother 5 stole our hearts with her stilettos in the shower and her legendary fondness for heels has clearly outlasted - for example - the mutual affection of fellow housemates Chantelle and Preston! Here she is entering the house in a pair of killer drillers that we can't quite make out but think might be Louis Vuitton, with a sexy tie-front cuff. Good going!

Stephanie Pratt at 'Going the Distance' premiere in Christian Louboutin 'Bridget'

Stephanie Pratt proved that red heels are still the best choice for the red carpet when she arrived at the première for 'Going The Distance' in LA last night. The Hills' star had teamed her lace black Louboutins with a rather raunchy, boudoir-style mini dress which echoed her footwear very nicely.

The 'Bridget' style has firmly established itself as red carpet dynamite in the past year or so, and Stephanie is wearing the plainest version of the shoe here. Other variations include a leopard print-backed shoe that is otherwise identical and Ms. Shoewawa's personal fave; the Bridget backed with grosgrain gold glitter, as seen here. Wow!
