Louboutin Unveils Cinderella Shoe

And here you... The long awaited for Louboutin shoes is finally revealed!!!

If Cinderella were around today, she’d be sporting a pair of limited edition, red-soled 120-millimeter heels made by Christian Louboutin in Paris

The Christian Louboutin Cinderella shoe

At least, that’s what the shoe designer imagined when he was asked to give his interpretation of a modern-day Cinderella slipper in honor of Walt Disney’s release of the “Cinderella” Diamond Edition on Blu-ray disc this fall.  The fairy tale-inspired shoe was on display for the first time on July 4 in Paris.   

Opting out of using solid glass – they would never have survived Parisian cobblestones, not to mention the blister nightmare – he evoked lightness using white lace and sparkling crystals. Perched on a red cushion, and protected by a castle-like structure, the delicate, mini-platform lace heels adorned with Swarovski crystals were shown alongside stills and sketches from the making of the 1950 animated film.

“Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes,” Louboutin stated. “Her character and her story dictated the design to me, it was all there in the pages and the words of this tale.”

Cinderella chooses Louboutin

Christian Louboutin has been invited by Disney to bring Cinderella to life with a fashion forward twist.

The new design will be a modern representation iof the heel from the classic fairytale which is set to be re-released as a “Diamond Edition” on Blu-ray this October.

“Isn’t it everyone’s dream, to once in your life part of a fairy tale?” Louboutin mused.

“Walt Disney Studios gave me a wonderful opportunity to live this magical moment. I have been so lucky to have crossed paths with Cinderella, an icon who is so emblematic to the shoe world as well as the dream world.”

This isn’t the first foray into fashion for Disney. Alfred Angelo and Disney debuted their first collection of bridal gowns in 2010, Disney Fairy Tale Weddings by Alfred Angelo, as part of Disney Bridal.

Meanwhile, Harrods will unveil a set of window displays showcasing dresses created by a number of world-leading designers in November, including Oscar de la Renta, Versace and Elie Saab, each with their interpretation of the original Disney Princess dresses.

A pair of Louboutin shoes starts at around $600 and can cost up to several thousand dollars.
