Christian Louboutin wedges | fashion brand outlet

Angelina Jolie wore a special pair of heels earlier this week to promote Maleficent in Shanghai.
The 39-year-old actress sported custom Christian Louboutin wedges inspired by the movie. The shoes feature a pointed toe with gold detail, a sheer nude body and a gold wedge high heel in the shape of a thorn.

The famed French footwear maven designed four pairs of Maleficent heels for the actress. Jolie wore a black pair and a white pair earlier in London, and a red pair has yet to be revealed.

“It’s exciting to work with a film that has such a strong aesthetic and a character as great as Maleficent,” the designer told Us Weekly. “I’ve been under the charm and spell of Angelina and her character.”

Maleficent was released in the U.S. on May 30. The movie earned $70 million at the box office its opening weekend.

Now we love a flash of the Christian Louboutin red sole as much as the next girl, but the designer’s new AW14 lookbook is a whole new level of gruesomeness.

The pictures shows the AW14 collection as modelled by severed legs stashed in gift boxes in a dark hotel room. All very film noir.

The designer heels are lovely as per and include a mix of sexy black boots, strappy flower sandals and heeled trainers.

But well, the prettiness of the heels doesn’t do much to deter from the creepiness of it all.

Perhaps it’s a way of saying the designer shoes will cost women an arm and a leg (or two)? We’re sure there’s a metaphor in there somewhere.
