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?
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!”
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.
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.
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.
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…
[…] Beckhams own peculiar tastes run so much to the spectacularly unwearable that only Christian could satisfy her increasingly outrageous and idiosyncratic ideas about […]

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?

Those shoes are just stupid looking.

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.

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

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.
I am starting a new blog, BookWise and Loving It. I hope you’ll check it out.

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

She must have the nastiest feet.

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

Interesting… she seems to be hiding herself behind all the makeup, those crazy tiny outfits, and spectacularly tacky shoes.
October 8th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
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.
October 8th, 2007 at 7:43 pm
She looks like she’s trying out for Carnation Queen.

Poochie, shouldn’t that be “An amazing feet of architecture?”
October 8th, 2007 at 8:29 pm
What linda grant said! I almost didn’t bother to check.
October 8th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
Somebody please tell me, what on earth is “posh” about this woman?
October 8th, 2007 at 9:40 pm
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.
October 8th, 2007 at 10:48 pm
cheeky…oh, yes, she does….manolo has posted pics here. they are a mess
October 8th, 2007 at 10:50 pm
to be totally fair to Posh here, she IS at a photo shoot, not dressing out of her own closet.

I could see these on Nicole too.
And maybe Mary Kate.

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

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