I know I'm late. These shoes have been everywhere for the past year. But I'm on a bit of a Posh kick right now so please bear with me.

Ever since Mr. Giambattista Valli himself graced the uber-fierce Vicki Beckham with a sky high stripper-esque shoe named just for her, the luxurious six-inch platforms, in every color and fabrication under the sun, have been on the feet of stylish women everywhere.

They were first featured in the Giambattista Valli Fall R/W 2007 fashion show this time last year.

Soon after, Posh was spotted out and about with them on. Back in July 2007, she rocked this black and brown crocodile pair to her "Welcome to L.A." party. (I'm sure she would have taken the time to pumice those heels had she known these shoes would soon be in such high demand.)

She then famously wore them in October 2007 for her photoshoot in Paris for the January '08 issue of Elle. It was at this shoot, that Mr. Valli named them, "The Victoria Shoe." (cue the dramatic music)

Here she is in a black patent pair at that same shoot.

Here's what Vicki had to say: "I...went to see my friend Giambattista Valli at his showroom - sadly I couldn’t make his show but his new collection is fabulous, he’s definitely one of the most exciting designers around at the moment. He has even made a pair of super high platform shoes which he has named the Victoria Shoe - they are gorgeous. I will just have to learn how to walk in them first they are so high!"

Posh isn't the only fan of her shoe...

Nicole Scherzingleberries presented at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards in a black and white pair.

Mary-Kate Olsen wore a neon pink and white pair to a dinner gala.


Jessica Biel opted for red at a Giambattista Valli show in Paris.





Rihanna was recently spotted at a Fendi event in a neon green and black pair.


Mary Kate wore them again (this time in black suede) at the most recent Giambattista Valli fashion show.

Dammit Mariah! Even though these are the same pair seen on Nicole Sherzinglwhatever, you're the only one who's managed to make them look tacky.

So the question is, to all my glamour girls of the world, would you dare wear the Victoria Shoe anywhere outside the bedroom? And which color tickles your fancy?

2007 MTV VMAs: Fashion Recap

Lil Mama, don't let me see you in the street

adfafda

So...last night's MTV Video Music Awards were kind of a snore but the fashion hits and misses did not disappoint. Let's get to it, shall we?

It's All About the Color

Three colors ruled the red carpet: Hot Pink, Black and Gold

Both Rihanna and Megan Fox sparkled in the hottest of pinks. They looked young and fresh, perfect for the VMA's!

A. Keys and Rosario Dawson went back to black in form-fitting LBD's (lil black dresses). Rosario looked fab and although it was a tad severe, I was a fan of Alicia's look. She definitely pulled it off!

Nelly Furtado and Ashlee Simpson on the other hand, should have went back to bed. Nelly's hair looks overprocessed and as disheveled as her silk pantsuit. And Ashlee love, your look is speaking volumes and it is saying "anorexic cat." Can you try less eyeliner next time, for me?

Miss Yonce and Eve were both living life like it was golden; Beyonce in a gorgeously draped goddess gown, slit up to there (that looked much better on television) and Eve in a sparkly number that was quite similar to what Beyonce wore to the 2003 VMAs. Eve's stylist should really do her homework.

Nicole Scherzingleberries of PCD got the memo and decided to try to outdo them all by wearing...wait for it...black AND gold. Someone should have told her to focus on wearing one hemline.

And how could I forget J.Hud? She was also rockin the black and gold. Cute dress but her wig is making me itch.

Best Dressed
Once again, Rihanna gets my coveted Best Dressed award! (Note to RiRi: Your biscuit is in the mail). She was simply gorgeous in her Jessica Rabbit-esque gown that fit her to within an inch of its life. The color popped and kept the look young, while her neutral makeup was the perfect accompaniment. Definitely the showstopper of the evening.

Worst Dressed (by far)

Yes, Lil Mama did show up in this coon-tastic mess of an outfit. And yes, I did just say coon-tastic. When asked what the hell she was thinking, she replied, "This is the birth of hip-pop and I'm the baby." I had to keep from reaching out and slapping her through my television. She should have just kept it real and said that she wanted to look like a sparkly Easter egg threw up on her. At least she would have had my respect.
