Cate Blanchett and the $11,000 shoes
posted by: shoesense in Celebrity Shoe Style, High heels, Roger Vivier Shoes on August 15th, 2008
People Magazine gives us the scoop on these glittery heels Cate Blanchett donned at Australia’s Helpmann Awards: they are “a pair of limited edition Roger Vivier Limelight America platform heels with sequined star detail and Swarovski crystal buckles.” Wait, that’s not the best part: They cost $11,000! Eleven. Thousand. Dollars.
I’m sure they were a gift (really, what self-respecting celebrity would fork that kind of cash for shoes, no matter how fab?). At any rate, it appears Cate also wore them to the premier of her Bob Dylan movie “I’m not here”–so at least she got some mileage out of them!

My god, those shoes are hideous! She could've at least bought something worth half of the money!

You can buy a nice diamond ring for less than that. I agree that the shoe doesn't look all that special in that photo.

LOL …I agree it does look like it came from Payless. The shoe is really not all that and the stars on the sides make them look cheap and far from appealing

Wow, that's quite a price for a shoe that really isn't all that fabulous at the end of the day. Honestly, it looks like something that came from Payless.
