Shoe Nirvana!

stuart_weitzmanKnown for his million dollar Oscar shoes and classic high-end designs, Stuart Weitzman’s sumptuous pumps and studded stilettos literally make headlines. Now the designer is combining Hollywood’s star power and stylish shoes to shine the spotlight on a worthy cause - ovarian cancer. Twenty-nine notable names from film, sports and music have donned their creative caps and customized a pair of Stuart Weitzman pumps for the annual Stuart Weitzman Annual Celebrity Shoe Auction.

After the fuss she kicked up about Weitzman’s “Cinderella” shoes at last year’s Oscars, don’t look for Juno scribe Diablo Cody to be among the charitable do-gooders. Online bidding is open until September 30th. Shop happy - 100% of the proceeds go directly to support ovarian cancer research.

celebrity_shoe_auctionWith more than 200 pairs in her custom walk-in closet, high-heel devotee and “Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria paid homage to her love of designer footwear with a Prada-esque shoe accessorized with a bouffant bow and on-trend heel embellishment.

diablo_codyJessica Simpson knows a thing or two about shoes. The Come on Over country singer and shoe designer fashioned a gorgeous “Moulin Rouge” beaded red heel with black ribbon and lace. ShoeMinx is not ashamed to admit that our credit card is at the ready if a more polished version of this shoe finds its way to her shoe collection (hint, hint).

From former “O.C.” star Rachel Bilson, a whimsical pair themed “Feathers” with her signature flair for dare-to-be different footwear. ShoeMinx can totally imagine Sarah Jessica Parker in these for the Sex and the City movie sequel. Pssst Patricia, the opening bid is a steal at only $300.

Who knew Hollywood was such a well-spring of shoe design talent? This auction is like a celebrity edition of “America’s Got Talent.” Creating haute heels for a chance to become the next Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik: now that’s a reality show we would definitely tune in to watch.
