Christina Ricci Leaving BBC Radio Studios

Feb 17 2012

Pan Am star Christina Ricci was seen leaving the BBC Radio Studios in London, UK yesterday (February 16).

Christina Ricci’s latest movie Bel Ami, which is a film based on the 1885 French novel of the same name by Guy de Maupassan, also stars Robert Pattinson, Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott Thomas. It is set to be released today (February 17) in Berlin. You might want to watch it since I guess it will be controversial especially when Ricci said that Pattinson is a “good kisser.”

So anyway, check out her chic wintry getup:

Christina Ricci Leaving BBC Radio Studios

Christina looked sophisticated in her maroon (or is it deep pink?) coat that’s designed with fastening at the front. She then styled it with black leggings and she also carried her black Louis Vuitton bag. Topping off her look is her pair of Alexander McQueen skull peep toe pumps.

The pumps are believed to come from Alexander McQueen’s spring 2012 collection although I know you’ve already seen a similar looking design before from the same brand.

Alexander McQueen Pumps Pelle S. Cuoio

These pumps are made of suede and it only shows classic peep toe pump silhouette, which is not really surprising unlike the shoes from Giuseppe Zanotti’s spring 2012 collection. Nevertheless, you know this is a lot more wearable.

The gold-tone skull detail at the vamp already screams Alexander McQueen! It also shows a spellbinding look as it even comes embellished with Swarovski crystals. Completing this is the towering heel and platform, which measures about 5 1/4-inch and 1-inch, respectively.

I am hoping to see these Alexander McQueen pumps in the red carpet. If you like it, you can get it at Zappos for $1,008. This is also available in black at Ssense for $965.

Giuseppe Zanotti Spring 2012 Collection: Inspired by the 70′s & African Culture

Feb 16 2012

As tinseltown beauties get busy attending various red carpet events in the city, we’re also busy keeping an eye on what shoe they’re rocking. We noticed that a lot have already been wearing designs from the Giuseppe Zanotti Spring 2012 collection; however, there are still a lot of interesting shoes from the collection that we haven’t seen yet in the red carpet.

I couldn’t wait any longer till someone wears them so I decided to feature those shoes that interest me a lot. Now feast your eyes on this dazzling collection that includes sandals, pumps and even sneakers. This is believed to be a collection inspired by “a woman from the 70s, but this woman is contaminated from the African culture and finally I have a lot of African details and colors from the seventies and shapes from the seventies.” However, seeing how these shoes are constructed would make you think that this also has a touch of futuristic and ultra-modern feel.

 

We’re not anymore going to talk about these two bright sandals here since we’ve already featured these sandals a few days back on our post about Diane Kruger, who was seen wearing the yellow sandal. You can just read here to learn more about these sandals.

Like the blue version of the sandal above, these wedge pumps also feature a cut-in illusion heel and a very high platform that’s about 5 1/2-inch and 2-inch, respectively. This may be an over kill but these are definitely something that could grab attention as you enter the room. Aside from its modern silhouette, these wedge pumps are also embellished with Aurora Borealis crystals, which change color when hit by light. The thin ankle strap should then keep this shoe on your feet even if you feel like you’re about to fall.

By the way, Zappos already has these wedge pumps for $1,975.

These cage sandals here spell sexy. The smooth zigzag curves undoubtedly set a very sexy, feminine arrive; and interesting enough, it’s even embellished with sparkling crystals. The high stiletto heel, which approximately measures about 4 1/2-inch, should then boost your height and make you look more noticeable.

I can’t help but get stunned by these pumps! The multiple colored crystals that are embellished at the back and down the heel seem to show an interesting graphic that can draw attention. These pumps are made of satin; and you can see that it has a flirty peep toe for added feminine style. The heel is about five inches high and it also has about two inches of platform to give you extra height.

Now if you’re looking for a flat sandal, which, without a doubt, is a next season must have, you might want to take a look at Giuseppe Zanotti’s Zodiac series, which is also part of the spring 2012 collection. This holds a collection of flat metallic sandals that feature a crystal embellished zodiac sign right at the center. It’s simple but it’s definitely statement-making.

Now for the sporty ladies who also want to take their style to the next level, these sneakers are just the thing. These aren’t ordinary; as you can see, these are decorated with studs and crystals, and some are even crafted from metallic leather or animal printed materials. Aside from the lace-up fastening, these sneakers also have decorative yet functional zippers that add more style.

You probably noticed that I just showed only those that feature sparkly embellishments [besides, this is Jeweledsandal.com]; in case you want to see the rest of the shoes from the collection, you might as well want to visit the Giuseppe Zanotti website. We’re still waiting for celebrities to wear these pumps, sandals and sneakers whether in the red carpet or just in the streets.
