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]

These uber high platforms look like they'd be at home on someone extreme like Katie Price or Lady Gaga. So you might have the same surprised reaction that I did, when you find out it is in fact a snooty, but frankly, always well-groomed reality TV star-slash-socialite (or "social" as she prefers to be known) who seems to love her preppy Ralph Lauren and classic Choos. Have you got any ideas who it could be?
Answer after the jump.

If you were not only a multi millionairess, but also the 12th richest woman in Britain, what would you buy first? Why, Louboutins of course! And then maybe a house.
On Tuesday, Jo - not particularly recognized for her fashion forward ways - wore these gorgeous 5.5-inch-heeled, gold leather Christian Louboutin sandals to the premiere for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
Unfortunately due to the torrential rain I bet she probably regretted exposing her feet to the vicious elements, but hey, at least she looked good! You can get the 'Differa 140' sandals from Net-a-Porter for £775.

From our US fashion sister site Shiny Style...
Britney Spears has reprised her role as the face of Candie's for the fall '09 campaign. Currently on tour in Europe, the singer also wears Candie's clothing, footwear, and accessories in her new music video for "Radar." Despite what seems like a major Photoshopping job, a rep for Britney claims this is not the case. To prove this point, two comparison shots were sent to Perez - click here to play spot the difference.

We can't say we blame her... Cheryl Cole has joined with the rest of us in becoming really rather obsessed with all things Rupert Sanderson.
She has been spotted wearing shoes by the UK designer not once, but twice this weekend alone, while attending The X Factor auditions - first stepping out in the metallic purple patent 'Deltas' on Friday and then the green satin 'Magnums' on Saturday. You can find both of these shoe styles here.
