Katie Holmes is known to be a bit of a shoe connoisseur, so it was no surprise to see that The Nod had picked up on her love for these really rather showstopping pumps by Jerome C Rousseau, another pair of fabulous shoe's that have recently come under my radar featuring a 'top cap' style at the front.
The pink panelling at the back really needs to be seen close up to be appreciated, as it's covered in a reflective satin fabric. The heels is a muted acid yellow, which brings in a wonderfully discordant effect. If you want to brighten up your look with a pair of your own, you'll find them over at Net-a-Porter, where they've been reduced from £345 to £172.50. Not a bad deal at all!

Sarah Jessica Parker has complained in the past that Carrie's footwear choices have practically destroyed her feet, but it looks like the actress will be getting her own back in the forthcoming movie.
Spotted filming earlier this week, SJP was wearing not the toe-torturing Louboutins we were all expecting but a pair of rather comfy looking pale pink Swedish Hasbeens. She certainly looks at ease chatting to co-stars in the sandals, which are based on traditional clogs and are renowned for their foot-pampering properties, which include a springy a lime-tree wooden sole and super-soft leather. Will this lead to a comfortable footwear fashion revolution?

Slumdog Millionaire actress Freida Pinto clearly has a lot of love for British designer Rupert Sanderson, as she's been spotted wearing not one but two of his styles already this week - and it's only Wednesday!
Freida wore Sanderson's Inferno boots at the Hermes/Liberty event on Monday, and secondly in Rupert's Khyber cut out sandals at the GQ Men of The Year Awards last night. These are two different shoes for two very different looks: the sandals look amazing with an equally 'cut out' dress, while the heeled boots are the perfect finish for a more toned down look.
Khyber and Inferno are both available online from Rupert Sanderson.

Christian Louboutin has revealed that burlesque superstar Dita Von Teese is the inspiration behind his shoe empire. He explained: "Dita is the ultimate showgirl and top of my list of muses. When she was 11, she dreamt of living a glamorous life and now she lives the dream."
Von Teese has always had a special relationship with Louboutin's shoes. Earlier in the year she debuted his opulent Marie Antoinnette heels on the red carpet, and she was once papped showing off the underside of a very badly scuffed pair of red Louboutin soles, prompting some rather bitchy remarks on her attitude to shoe care. Personally, I think that's just evidence of a very much loved and well worn pair of shoes!
I've become a little obsessed with Louis Vuitton's leather and velvet ribbon thigh-length boots this last week. The £2,240 showstoppers are unmistakable with their 'pinched' cone heels; a style that seems to have come from nowhere, and luxuriant ribbon ties.
Thigh-high boots are going to be massive next season, but only the brave and the beautiful are daring to step out in them right now. Can you guess who's rocking the look here? Read on after the jump to find out!

Stylist and blogging newcomer Rachel Zoe has revealed 'the light of her life' to us this week: it's a Brian Atwood 'shootie' called Lola, pictured above. The hidden platform ankle boots are also available in black, but Zoe has chosen the leopard print variety to share with us in her inaugural fashion report.
As a less expensive option, Zoe has suggested Steve Madden's Vipperr, which clocks in at US $129. The 'stringy straps' look is mostly confined to higher-end shoes at the moment, but it's certainly a look that's coming through strongly in those quarters, and is worth keeping an eye on. The Atwood shoes are £414 from Saks Fifth Avenue

It's nice to see a pair of fabulous shoes 'in action', and Scarlett Johansson certainly did justice to Christian Louboutin's Bridget Strass shoes when she wore them to the Iron Man 2 premier at Comic-Con in California last month.
What particularly surprises me about the image on the left is how much better the shoe looks 'in situ' than it does in the product picture on the right, which looks garish. Louboutin really knows how to make footwear work in harmony with the body, and this is certainly a lesson in condemning a shoe before you've seen it on! [Via Shoeperwoman]
