Anna Paquin at the 2010 SAG Awards

After Anna Paquin’s poor choice of footwear at the Golden Globes, I was happy to see her at the 2010 SAG Awards red carpet.   Paquin looks wonderful wearing a clutch and dress from Alexander McQueen (yes, of the alien sea creature line) and I’m in love with her Pierre Hardy shoes from the Spring 2010 collection. I did not expect to see either the dress or the shoes on any red carpet and I’m glad they made an appearance.

Shoes of the 2009 AMA’s

I am not much of a celebrity watcher. But, as might be expected, I am a shoe-watcher. So, despite my general cluelessness on who’s who these days in Hollywood, I love looking at the fashion photos of red-carpet events like yesterday’s AMA’s.

By the way, it drives me nuts that you can get fashion coverage of what folks wore, but they almost never mention the shoes as a part of this!!!

Am I the only person driven bonkers by this oversight?

Now I am left trying to wrack my brain in an attempt to remember who makes which shoe, etc. It’s enough to give a girl a migraine.

So, a quick rundown of some of the shoes seen on the AMA red carpet along with who makes them…in cases where my memory is actually serving me today. (Celeb photos are c/o Huffington Post & Popsugar)

Kristen Bell in Christian Louboutin:


Christian Louboutin ‘Archidisco’ $995

Colbie Caillat in what looks an awfully lot like a non-platform version of Louboutin’s ‘Ambro’ lace pump:

Christian Louboutin  ‘Ambro’ $825
(A similar budget style is available here.)

Alicia Keys…I should know this shoe & it’s driving me nuts. Somebody help me since my memory has completely betrayed me on these brilliant blue sandals:

Rihanna, sporting the Marchessa cut-out dress we saw recently. Love it or hate it, these white ankle-strap pums paired beautifully with this dress. (No, I haven’t figured out the maker of these shoes yet, either.)

Leona Lewis in chain-bedecked booties.

While her boots are probably not the exact ones I am showing here, these are the closest I could find on at the moment to a match for her booties:

Bakers Shoes ‘Julee’ (Another similar style is ‘Flash’ by Dolce Vita)

And I’ll end this with another shoe for whom I can’t find the maker, but have found a few strappy-alternatives that I would be just as happy to wear.

Carrie Underwood:

If you like these uber-strappy sandals, maybe one of these would also tempt you:

Sigerson Morrison ’9438′

Guiseppe Zanotti Strappy Leather Sandal

Dior Cartagena Sandals

Edited to add: Found the Jimmy Choos at Bluefly!!!!

Jimmy Choo ‘Verity’ $876 $1095

Shoes on the 81st Annual Oscar Red Carpet

Cursed the long gowns! Not that they aren’t utterly fabulous and TDF, but it makes spotting shoes that much more difficult.  Anyways, here are the shoes on the red carpet we’ve compiled thus far and we’ll be sure to keep you posted if we find others.

First up is Mamma Mia’s Amanda Seyfreid in a ill fitting Valentino Couture dress.  The dress looked infinitely better on the runway without the straps and is a size too large on Amanda’s petite frame.  Even her gray Jimmy Choo ‘Night’ sandals weren’t a top pick for me.

Alicia Keys, on the other hand, was stunning in this Armani Prive lavendar gown.  Her shoe of choice?  It’s the Jimmy Choo ‘Lance’ sandal, which is available in gold at Saks for $695.

One pair of shoes we didn’t get to see were these custom Casadei 1616 shoes.  They were worn by the lovely Anne Hathaway and matched her Armani Prive dress perfectly.  While she didn’t win Best Actress, she was one of the best dressed on the red carpet for me.
