Save Yourself From Being A Cinderella: 5 Sparkly Heels That Will Not Be Out Of Your Sight

Save Yourself From Being A Cinderella - 5 Sparkly Heels That Will Not Be Out Of Your Sight

September 2022 Sales (LATEST)


There’s no downplaying the effect of shimmery shoes. Whether you like it or not, they will turn heads and, more dangerously, occasionally blind anyone who will come their way. Putting them on takes confidence because they can  overwhelm, which may result in the shoes wearing you instead of the other way around. Thankfully, there are plenty of options to rock, especially in the few months leading to 2019, with our beloved designer labels refreshing their repertoire with more glittery and shiny footwear.

The year’s trend has been called the Cinderella shoes, referencing the iconic Disney fairy tale movie back in the 1950s and the shiny shoes she was Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo-ed into. Anyone familiar with the much loved story will recall that the latter proved to be pivotal in Cinderella’s ending with Prince Charming, and that there was a time for her to beat that resulted in losing one shoe. There’s no reason to assume that you’ll have the same fate even when considering the story that inspired the name—the glitz of the following picks will most likely end with you obsessed rather than mindlessly leave one behind as you flee from a potential Prince Charming.

There’s no escaping the glitters that sit on most parts of these Miu Miu pumps. They can draw attention in a snap, making them less ideal if you want to walk in peace. While it may be a no-brainer to set these aside for fancier events, the pair boasting of smooth leather and a mirrored heel can also occasionally accompany your strides on casual days. The insides are well-cushioned, reducing the pain that heels may inflict on your feet.


2. Amina Muaddi Tessa crystal-embellished ruched tulle and satin ankle boots

Rather than fully depending on glitters, Amina Muaddi employs ruched tulle to make a jaw-dropper of a boot. It is still every bit of a Cinderella shoe, although just a tad subdued on the shimmer and with a modern design. The glitz is held by the crystal brooch, but it complements the antique-rose satin and Italian-made leather that serves as the foundation. Complete the look with a leather trench coat for some needed edge.


3. Alaïa Bombe 110 studded metallic leather sandals

Alaïa and its founder, Azzedine Alaïa, both made a reputation for being meticulous. Even though the designer has passed, the label he has left behind continues to respect his legacy by bringing creations such as this. The Bombe sandals will not prompt you to turn away as its shimmer is not that overpowering. Rather, the footwear will invite inspection, especially with its Italian leather, hand-applied studs, and gold hue that goes perfectly with the embellishments.

The man who has made the red soles synonymous with glamour has partnered with the designer who brought to the world the celebrated Galaxy dress to create a stunner pair of pumps. The Ramour 100, an exclusive at Net-a-Porter, exhibits the characteristics that made the two fashion icons’ creations distinct: feminine and sensual. Its wraparound straps is Mouret’s way of fancying up a shoe, just as much as he has done for women’s frocks previously.


5. Saint Laurent Swarovski crystal-embellished satin pumps

You probably didn’t imagine white when you were told of Cinderella shoes, and yet here is Saint Laurent‘s version, the Swarovski crystals strategically positioned to reflect just the right amount of shine. The shoes come in luxurious satin, and its construction featuring a sculpted heel proves intriguing. Wear them with clothes where the heel can be seen without obstruction as the section gives off its fair share of glitz.


Regardless of what your heart ends up choosing, you can trust that any of these shoes can transform your outfit into something more captivating. If you want to do away with less jewelry, wearing Cinderella shoes can provide the glimmer to match a fancy evening. It will also do the same for jeans, or off-duty frocks. Just make sure to flaunt them with gusto, as well as freshly pedicured feet.
