Return of the Balenciaga Lego shoes
posted by: jitterbugbaby in Balenciaga Shoes, Celebrity Shoe Style, High heels, Walking Disasters on November 21st, 2007
We’ve blogged about these shoes before. On several occasions.
The folks at ELLE clearly agree with my assessment of the LEGO-like quality of these shoes.
I think they’re hideous.
And apparently Beyonce agrees with Kanye, rather than me, because she was sporting a pair at the American Music Awards last weekend.
The jacket was designed by Tina Knowles (Beyonce’s mom), who, of course, designs a lot of the clothes Beyonce steps out in for events. Who knows if the jacket was designed to match the shoes, but match it does.
I’m as shocked as anyone to say this, because I a) hate those shoes and b) think Beyonce rarely wears clothes that are flattering, but… drumroll please…
I like this whole look. Yep. I love how the jacket and shoes match. I love the hair and makeup. I love the earrings (which are hard to see in this photo). I love how the jeans (J Brand, which I can personally state are awesome) fit her and make her look curvaceous and fab without looking like they’re a size too small.
I still think the shoes are severely fug, but Beyonce is proving very well that the right outfit can make pretty much anything work.

I absolutely love all of the unconventional Balenciaga shoes, including these-no they're not everyone's cup of tea, but they are innovative-and Beyonce proves that even though they are a little "out there", it's possible to make them work

I think these shoes are fabulous! These are the kind of shoes that make you very unique when you wear them. They might be crazy and outside of the box, but that's exactly what I need. I love these shoes!!!!

Guys the store in the mall in Georgia called Pinky's has the designer discount brand for $99!!!! I got two different styles and nobody knows the difference. I wear them with solid colors and throw the splash in my accessories. Oh the online store for Pinky's if you can't go into the mall location is http://www.ShopPinky.com
If you have seen them cheaper let me know because they have another style I want.

I agree with you that Beyonce makes the shoes work with her outfit as a whole but when I focus in on the shoes I keep expecting to see jets shoot out of them like she's some kind of sci-fi space person.
Maybe they'd work in a high fashion day care but otherwise they just look like a joke.
