Celebrity Shoes: Blake Lively wears custom Christian Louboutin embellished sandals at the Met Gala


Yesterday's Met Gala was so spectacular that it's hard to make a best dressed list. Everyone who attended lived up to our expectation of their own interpretation of Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. One of the celebrities who graced the event was Blake Lively who wore a stunning Versace gown with dramatic train which took more than 600 hours to make. To complete her look, Lorraine Schwartz made a gorgeous headpiece with 100 diamonds while Christian Louboutin made a custom sandals to match.



"I wanted to design a delicate armor for her feet with crocodile and stones. A feminine warrior with a gold tassel for a religious wink," Christian Louboutin said about her inspiration for the footwear.



Every angle of the sandal complements the elements of her Versace gown. It's hard to see her shoes during the Met Gala but we were able to take a glimpse of it when she briefly posed for the pictures.


The tassel in the back adds opulence to the already intricate design. It reminds us of the high windows of churches of the medieval times and the rope belts of monks.
