World Top 5 Womens Costly Shoes

Stuart Weitzman’s “Cinderella Slippers”
Price tag: $2,000,000

 4 1/2 inch stiletto heels are set with 595 carats of platinum-set Kwiat diamonds.
One shoe is set with a 5-carat amaretto diamond, alone worth $1M.
#2’s Cinderella Claim to Shoe Fame: The “Cinderella Slippers” were worn by singer Alison Krauss (nominated for best song for the film Cold Mountain) at the 2004 Oscars while walking the red carpet and performing onstage.



Stuart Weitzman Tanzanite Heels
Price tag: $2,000,000

Stuart Weitzman teamed with jeweler Le Vian to painstaking match and cut 185 carats of museum-quality tanzanite and 28 carats of diamonds.
#2’s Tanzanite Claim to Shoe Fame: These eye-popping, $2M kicks were unveiled June 2008 in Las Vegas. No one has been photographed wearing them yet; it’s speculated that Mr. Weitzman created them for the Academy Awards in 2009.


Stuart Weitzman “Ruby Slippers”
Price tag: $1,600,000

Jeweler Oscar Heyman & Bros contributed 642 round and oval rubies totalling some 120 carats, set in pure woven platinum on the 4 1/2 red satin stilettos.
#3’s Claim to Shoe Fame: In 2003 Stuart Weitzman created the “Ruby Slippers” in anticipation of another breakthrough starlet wearing them to that year’s Academy Awards. His inspiration was the original ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland as Dorothy, otherwise known as #6 in our list.
However Mr. Weitzman ended up cancelling his shoe’s appearance. His spokesperson Jane Weitzman stated…”we pulled the ruby shoes we were planning to show off at the Oscars out of respect for those fighting in Iraq.”


Stuart Weitzman “Platinum Guild” Stilettos
Price tag: $1,090,000

464 Kwiat pear and round-shaped diamonds set in pure platinum thread top off these strappy stilettos.
#4’s Claim to Shoe Fame: Actress Laura Harring was the first Stuart Weitzman “Cinderella”. She was chosen by the shoe designer to wear the “Platinum Guild” diamond encrusted sandals to the 2002 Academy Awards.
Accompanied by three bodyguards, the shoes paled in comparison with the $27 million dollar necklace she also wore to the awards show.
