Upscale Hype found Rihanna wore a HOT pair of thunderbolt pumps by Parisian designer Mai Lamore for a recent rehearsal:

Have you stopped drooling? I haven’t!
Unfortunately, there are no price details on the shoe, but you can visit Mai Lamore’s site, www.mailamore.com for buying info. She has a store on the super fancy Rue St. Honoré here in Paris (home of Christian Louboutin, Givenchy, I could go on…). If her prices are anything like their’s, I’d say these shoes are a splurge. But ya never know…
I’ll check it out!

Ms. Colo hit us up on Twitter, saying, “Who are Beyonce’s performance shoes by? I’m GAGGING over here!” We did a quick search and found Bey topped off a Versace Atelier dress with a pair of bedazzled, embellished Giuseppe Zanotti’s:
Zanotti’s start at $500 and can go up to $1500.
Quite a splurge! Drool over the entire collection here or get a similar look for a little less with these $300 Report Signature Women’s Bowery Peep Toes:

As Louboutin’s nudge Manolo’s out of that number one shoe spot, it seems more and more lower priced brands are spawning knock offs. Pumpcicle noticed that Dollhouse’s $76 Tisch Pumps look eerily similar to Christian Louboutin’s $1,785 Lace Booties:

While both boast almost 5 inch heels and an 1 inch covered platform, Dollhouse’s version is a bit more punk rock with an ankle chain detail.
Which one would you rock?

When I won the intern contest for the Fashion Bomb, one of the fabulous prizes was a $250 gift certificate to Gilt Groupe. I had a hard time figuring out how I was going to use it until I saw these shoes. Clae’s offer the perfect mix of preppy and urban without going overboard: even with the prices harboring around $150. Not bad for the omen we call “the recession”. I have the green ones above, and they’re pretty comfortable. But for the high-tops, I suggest getting the next half size to a full size up. The colors are pretty dope. Just enough to brighten up any fit for the season. You can check the website here, or take a look at a few below:

Celebrity couples have been jetsetting all over Europe, stopping in Paris (woot!) and Rome wearing comfy Nike Air Jordan Sneakers. Swizz Beatz was spotted with girlfriend Alicia Keys rocking Nike Air Jordan 60+ “Detroit Pistons†sneakers ($135) and Kamber was spied in Rome wearing his and hers Air Jordan Retro 3’s ($150).

Though I couldn’t call myself much of a sneakerhead, the unisex shoes seem to work for laid back strolls in far off locales. And they’re pretty affordable!
