Steal Beyonce’s Shoe Style

Posted by kim on February 19, 2007

Beyonce Knowles was spotted by Life & Style Magazine wearing Cesare Paciotti gold leather platform t-straps (priced at only $555!) at the Grammy’s last week.

You can snag a similar pair for much less from Zappos.com…

Check out Kenzie “Eric” Open Toe Pumps in Bronze. Venerable style gets an infusion of sex appeal with a T-strap and open toe. Great Reviews.

Beyonce of All Trades

We just saw Beyonce at the Grammy’s, now she’s gonna be on the cover of this month’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue!  And what’s she wearing? A gold and orange triangle bikini top and low rise side-tie boyshorts with sexy ruching along side seams. Available from, you guessed it, her House of Dereon collection.  This swimsuit is bound to sell out fast, so place your order to be shipped out in March.  (Update, now sold out!)
