The Bare Skinny

Christina Millian resurfaced after Usher, Jermaine Dupri and others pretty much let her have it about her hair color on video. Usher has since apologized for the incident. Anyway, we don’t really care about her hair color because her shoe game is always on point. Christina attended the Metro PCS 5 Boro Takeover Tour in Brooklyn last night with her boyfriend, The Dream, which was presented by Hot 97.

She had on the usual, dress, scarf and bag, but what really stood out were the Louis Vuitton Spicy sandals which Amber Rose wore a few days ago in Paris. These tribal chic shoes are from the Louis Vuitton Spring 2009 collection and will hit your pockets up for $1,656 but can only be bought in the Louis V stores right now.

Rihanna attended Timbaland’s Pre Grammy party, which was presented by Verizon and Blackberry.

The singer wore an electric blue Preen dress with a peplum waist. She added a LOT of jewelry and Nicholas Kirkwood  for Rodarte heels.

I would have never worn those shoes with that dress but Rihanna is working it out. You can buy the dress at Brown’s Fashion for $835.62.

Usually Rihanna is the hottest chic at every event she attends. Not this party. Christina Milian gave her a run for her money in this pink and grey Herve Leger bandage dress.

I didn’t even know she worked out like that! She added sequined Miu Miu platform pumps to complete her look and the light is hitting them right in this pic. You can get the shoes at Net-A-Porter for $950.

A lot of you have been searching for the Louis Vuitton Wedges, also known as the “Lipstick Pump”, Christina Milian and Vanessa Simmons were seen wearing. I’ve called few of the Louis Vuitton stores and they were sold out in October. You can try some of the UK stores because they might still have them. Fortunately for those of us who need an immediate fix, BeBe has has alternatives:

France Suede Platform Wedge available only in purple for $169 at bebe.com

France Leather Platform Wedge available only in black for $179 at bebe.com

Even though they don’t come close to the calfskin leather and suede of the Louis V shoe, I actually like the shape of these shoes better.

If there is a knockoff for any shoe, I can find it! Keep the questions coming and Happy Shopping Ladies!!

Christina Milian was spotted out and about in LA with her producer boyfriend Dre with whom she was high school color coordinated with in blue and black. Very cute. The shoes Christina is rockin in the pics are from the Louis Vuitton Fall 2008 collection. It is an electric blue suede pump with a black patent leather front and heel. It then forms into a wedge with a thin slice between the wedge and the heel. I know, intricate right? But who cares when it looks this fabulous!

UPDATE** These shoes could possibly be the BCBG alternatives.

So tell me. Is this complex shoe fierce or foolish?
