The Shoes of Cleopatra

Manolo says, for your Friday viewing pleasure, here are some of the shoes worn in 1963 by the Elizabeth Taylor when she was the Cleopatra.

Would these not be perfect for your summer boating excursions with your very own stentorian Tony the Roman?

    Wow. Those are really pretty. They look a bit more wearable than some of those other shoes the Manolo has posted about.

    You know, those are surprisingly “in” right now. Just goes to show that if you have a big enough closet, you can recycle just about anything in about 45 years. Hope that means we don’t see Uggs again for 42 years…

    I love these shoes! I think I need to watch Cleopatra again just to enjoy the beauty of the shoes!

    yum, i’ll take a tony the roman, but only if he’s the one off that show on hbo…
    “I think I need to watch Cleopatra again just to enjoy the beauty of the shoes!” and you’ll get to glory in the super over-the-top fantasticness of the costumes!

    Do we know who designed these wonderful shoes?




  8. Hmmmm Says:

    I don’t know. Thoses shoes look really handmade and not in the good way.

    I may be spoiled as I recently saw the Marie Antoinette movie with all of the fab shoes that Monolo(the other shoe guy)made. STUNNING!
