Vogue.com are calling them "the new 'it' shoes" and predicting they'll become collectors items, and there are already huge waiting lists for them. They're Proenza Schouler 's triple strap python studded heels, and any blame for the hype surrounding them can be placed firmly on the shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker - or her alter-ego, Carrie Bradshaw. These are one of two pairs of shoes Carrie is seen wearing frequently in the new Sex and the City movie (the other pair are Christian Dior's python Gladiator sandals, which we wrote about here), and if you want a pair, you're going to have your work cut out finding them, especially now that the movie has launched. Do you want them, though, I wonder?

I know bright shoes are hard to avoid right now, but I somehow don't think Katie Holmes got the look quite right at Monday's Costume Institute Gala, wearing electric blue stilettos with this shiny red dress. Of course, bright, pointy stilettos tend to give any outfit something of an 80s vibe, so perhaps Diane Kruger's look, with pink peep toes and a silver dress looked a little less dated.
What do you make of the current trend for eye-popping colours? Would you wear them like Diane or Katie? Would you wear them at all?

Gwyneth Paltrow has really been giving her wardrobe a rev up on the promo trail for her new movie, Iron Man. While her new 'do might have been a talking point and all those mini dresses have certainly gathered the column inches, it was her skyscraper-high heels which have really taken centre stage.
In fact, such has been the impact of her recent stiletto antics, sales of uber-high heels have apparently shot up by 35% at Selfridges in the last week. Particularly in demand are the Alexander McQueen Languid court shoes (pictured above), with their square toe and cigarette heel, which she wore to the London premiere last week.

Effortless luxe, that's what these metallic sandals say to me. They are the perfect sandal for the foot shy, maximum ventilation and minimum foot exposure! Team them with a pair of jeans and a fitted mannish shirt for a chic casual outfit.
They are apparently modelled on Drew Barrymore's gladiator sandals and will set you back a mere £28 which is cheap for a bit of star style.

Last week's shoes didn't make a lot of impact on you, with the majority of you ending up giving them a 'Nay', despite quite liking some aspects of the shoes. They were Type z's Chloi shoes, and if you liked them, you'll find them at Zappos for $95.
There would be absolutely no point in me trying to hide the identity of this week's shoes, so I may as well just tell you that they're pink patent Dr Martens, which you can currently find at ASOS for £60. What I really want to know, though, is what you think of them. Clearly the likes of Agyness Deyn and Daisy Lowe have been helping bring the Doc Marten boot back into fashion over the past few months, but are you pleased to see them return, or would you rather they'd just left them where they were? Vote Yay or Nay, and don't forget to tell us why!

Remember the silver d'orsay shoes Carrie Bradshaw "lost" at the baby shower when she and Stanford were forced to take off their shoes "for the kids"? They set her friend back $485 plus tax to replace them from Manolo Blahnik, and now you can get yourself a pair of the Manolo Blahnik Sedaraby heels too from Barney's. Only they've been marked up to $665 in the 10 years since that episode aired. Would you pay the extra $180 for these metallic silver shoes with the rhinestone detail?

Kate Bosworth is the little fashion maven these days, isn't she? Arguably, this isn't exactly her most fabulous fashion moment, but wearing these heels from Chloé's Spring Summer '08 collection, you can't fault her for trying to do something different. (Oh, and check out her Chloé Saskia bag!)
The shoes might be a little out-there (and not to mention, beyond budget) for some, so here's some 'inspired-by' alternatives to achieve a similar look.
Product details after the jump.
