How much is too much for shoes? Thousands? Ten thousand? A hundred thousand? A million? Well, try 15.1 million. Commissioned as a birthday present, this frightfully expensive pair was designed by Debbie Wingham,
who is no stranger when it comes to creating luxury items. The high heels are set with some of the costliest and rarest gemstones in the world, like blue and pink diamonds, which explains the ridiculous price tag. The body of the shoe is crafted from platinum while the plaque is pure gold. The remainder of these shoes is made of leather but feature 24-carat gold paint. 18-carat gold threat for used to stitch this priceless pair.
2. HARRY WINSTON RUBY SLIPPERS – $3 MILLION
ewelry designer Harry Winston’s son, Ron Winston, wanted to commemorate the 50 th anniversary of the Hollywood classic The Wizard of Oz in the grandest way possible. And he chose to do so by replicating the ruby slippers worn by young Dorothy. Meticulously crafted using 4,600 rubies, these shoes represent the height of luxury. Apart from 1,350 carats of rubies, these beautiful shoes also feature 50 carats of diamonds. Bearing a $3 million price tag, these ruby slippers far outshine the original, which were created using plain red sequins
3. STUART WEITZMAN RITA HAYWORTH HEELS – $3 MILLION
One of the Old Hollywood darlings, Rita Hayworth found a place in fashion history when a pair of earrings worn by the star was fashioned into shoes by Stuart Weitzman. What stands out about these heels is the lovely, muted shade of Sienna Satin used in its construction – a welcome change from all the glitz and glam commonly found in expensive footwear.
The earrings are prominently featured in the middle of the shoes and elevate the whole look to sheer poetry. Despite its understated elegance, this pair features various types of precious gemstones, from diamonds to sapphires to rubies in a satin ruffle near the toe section. Valued at a cool $3 million, these open-toed heels are not for sale – they are the property of Hayworth’s daughter, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan.
4. STUART WEITZMAN CINDERELLA SLIPPERS – $2 MILLION
Another Stuart Weitzman creation, these stunning slippers were crafted from Italian leather. The inspiration was the popular fairytale character, Cinderella. 565 Kwiat diamonds were set in platinum and twisted into a complex, lace-like design to make the toe straps and ankle. If that’s not enough,
the right shoe houses a 5 carat amaretto diamond, which alone costs over a million dollars. The 4-inch stilettos were worn by Alison Krauss, the country singer, to the 2004 Oscars and appeared to meld into the background, leaving the crowd to gawk at the masses of sparkling diamonds.
5. TOM FORD CUSTOM BY JASON ARASHEBEN – $2 MILLION
When Nick Cannon hosted the 2014 America’s Got Talent, he wanted to make a statement. And he managed to surpass expectations by wearing a pair of $2 million all-diamond shoes. The Tom Ford shoes were custom designed by Jason Arasheben, the well-known jewelry designer, and they were
a sight to behold. More than 14,000 full-cut round white diamonds were carefully set onto white gold. The total carat weight was a staggering 340 carats. The bedazzled shoes took more than 2,000 man-hours and almost a year to complete, and by the looks of it, we're well worth it. Read more at:
6. KATHRYN WILSON’S PUMP – $400,000
Kathryn Wilson, the New Zealand-based designer, ruled fashion headlines when she created this wonderful piece for a charity auction. Each piece of this pair took nearly 50 hours to create. And it makes sense considering that they feature a million pounds’ worth of diamonds. Every single one of those diamonds was individually pasted by hand during that time span. These decadent-looking shoes were sold off at the auction for a massive amount of $400,000.
