    they would actually be quite likeable without those bricks attached to the bottom!

    You have to give the girls some credit for good balance at least. An amazing feat of architecture.

    No other name even entered my head.

    Does she never stop posing?




  5. Texasexile Says:

    Those shoes are just stupid looking.




  6. K2 Says:

    They look like pontoons for seaplanes. Just stick a propeller on her back and she’ll be ready to take off and land anywhere on water.




  7. T Says:

    I thought those were shadows before I read some comments and looked at the picture again, looks ridiculous.




  8. LaVida2 Says:

    Somehow you just gotta love her cheekiness to wear something that insane….designers probably LOVE her.
    Makes me wonder…how in hell does one walk in these?




  9. Sophie Says:

    You have to hand it to Victoria….you’d never pass her in the street without taking a second glance!

    As was posted previously, you gotta give the girl credit for her incredible balancing abilities.

    Well the shoes do help to distract you from that mess of a dress.




  13. cheeky Says:

    She must have the nastiest feet.

    I think I know whose look she was trying to cop, too:

  15. Tracy Says:

    Interesting… she seems to be hiding herself behind all the makeup, those crazy tiny outfits, and spectacularly tacky shoes.




  16. Joan Says:

    And here I thought it was going to be Bai Ling! Can’t win ‘em all, but at least I don’t have to wear those shoes.




  17. khazar Says:

    She looks like she’s trying out for Carnation Queen.




  18. class factotum Says:

    Poochie, shouldn’t that be “An amazing feet of architecture?”




  19. Carol Says:

    What linda grant said! I almost didn’t bother to check.




  20. Rita Says:

    Somebody please tell me, what on earth is “posh” about this woman?




  21. All Natural Diva Says:

    If I had legs like that, I sure wouldn’t showcase them with oversized horses’ hooves super-glued to the bottom of otherwise-cute stillettos.




  22. Deandrea Says:

    cheeky…oh, yes, she does….manolo has posted pics here. they are a mess




  23. Laura Says:

    to be totally fair to Posh here, she IS at a photo shoot, not dressing out of her own closet.




  24. Poochie Says:

    Class Factotum

    Of course! Ba-dum-dum!

    ; )

  25. Gracie Says:

    I was going to say “You can tell this person never has to drive a car because she wouldn’t be able to feel the pedals” but then I saw the dress and it’s just totally obvious she never does anything all.

    Fashion created by a chef: “The tomatoes are exploding! Quick! Put a couple of sticks in them!”




  26. Jen Says:

    I could see these on Nicole too.

    And maybe Mary Kate.




  27. faye Says:

    they are for an uber glam, edgy, futuristic photoshoot for elle magazine.




  28. Linda Grant Says:

    There isn’t actually anything posh about Victoria Beckham but in the absence of her being ginger, sporty, scary, babyish etc they had to call her something.




  29. casey Says:

    i thought there would be more comments about the elmo-skin dress. then again, would she be as famous if she wore normal clothes?




  30. slownews Says:

    The don determined that Ms. Beckham had committed one too many crimes against fashion. Left to their own devices, the henchstylists decided on the old but effective “shoes of concrete” trick.




  31. Danielle Says:

    To echo the sentiments of others:
    1. Those shoes could ONLY be attached to the feets of the Victoria Beckham
    2. Those shoes ARE fantastic, if one were to lop off the bottom “brick”
    3. Those shoes are ridiculous, but they somewhat balance the ridiculousness of that dress.

    At least she’s entertaining to look at/watch in a way that *doesn’t* involve drunken car-crashes or exposed va-jay-jays.




  32. Anthony Cady Says:

    Shoes are by Nicholas Kirkwood - and unusual for him - his other designs are remarkable and worth looking into. Not so for the fashion clown wearing them…

  34. Project Runway 4, Grand Final Finale! » Manolo's Shoe Blog Says:
