3 Spectacular Celebrity Footwear Failures

Twenty-first century fashion is all about making a statement about who you are.  Large, chunky jewellery and vibrant patterns are king.  Take a look at this fabulous Pinterest board if you don’t believe us.  So when it comes to choosing the perfect shoes to go with your outfit, you may consider something equally as contrastive.  But what happens if you follow this line of thinking to its extreme?  The results are shocking. To prove it, here are three of our top celebrities who have followed this line of thinking to a disastrous end.

Madonna’s Gun Shoes

Looking to add a touch of controversy to your look?  Why not have your stiletto designed to look like a hand gun?    This is the excellent idea of pop legend Madonna, who decided that in today’s climate of gun control and home security, it would be a great way to finish off her outfit.  Although Madonna is no stranger to controversial looks, this one may be going a little bit too far.  Try to avoid wearing any gun related shoes this season to ensure you’re keeping it P.C.

Helena Bonham Carter’s Mix and Match Shoes

Another popular way of wearing your accessories this season is to mix and match them.  Want to wear big chains and charms at the same time? That’s fine – all in the name of creating a unique style.  Unfortunately, however, it doesn’t look particularly great when extended to shoes. This acknowledgement comes at the expense of Helena Bonham Carter’s fashion reputation, as she was recently spotted at the Golden Globes wearing green and red shoes simultaneously.  Bonham Carter is naturally the kind of person to try such a daring move, but next time she’ll think twice about this unfortunate fashion mishap.

Snooki’s Laughable Luminous Shoes

Reality TV star, Snooki – famed for her appearances on Jersey Shore and currently Snooki & Jwoww – has recently been papped wearing the most horrific, clashing, luminous green shoes.  Quite simply, don’t do this.  Yes, be bold, but there is such a thing as too much boldness. If you want to go bright and O.T.T., make sure your shoes don’t clash with the rest of your outfit.  The last thing you need is a clash because this takes emphasis away from your daring choice of shoe and reflects it back on how garish your overall look is.

Now you know how to avoid a spectacular footwear failure, you can begin searching for that perfect, stylish shoe to complement your outfit.  Try out sites like Designerwear to begin your search.
