Actress Krysten Ritter looked absolutely adorable when she attended the New York premiere of her new movie “Confessions of a Shopaholic“. Krysten was pretty in purple wearing a cute Sonia by Sonia Rykiel bubble hemmed dress, a box clutch and a pair of gold peep-toe pumps.

What I love about Alexander McQueen is that he’s not only great in designing clothes, but he also happens to make some of the most beautiful shoes. OK, I might be addicted to McQueen and therefore am a little biased. These black patent ankle strap peep-toes however are simply adorable. The price not so much.

Soiree Peep-Toe Ankle-Strap Pumps

Living on a budget? Try these almost identical peep-toe ankle strap pumps by Soiree. The heel might be just half as high, but this makes the shoe more comfortable to walk in. The bar is also a bit different in material and color, but hey, they only cost a fraction of the original McQueens.

Back in June 2006, wild child Lindsay Lohan sported a beautiful black and white Hervé Léger bandage dress when she attended the Cartier and Interview Magazine’s Charity Love Bracelet Party. Lindsay wore her hair in a loose updo and accessorized with Cartier jewels, a black clutch and black slingback peep-toes.

More than a year later in October 2007, Khloe Kardashian wore the same black and white Hervé frock to the premiere of “Keeping up with the Kardashians” which she teamed with silver bracelets and black peep-toe Louboutin pumps.

Carmen Electra wore a taupe version of the dress at NYC Fashion Week in 2007.

I prefer the dress on Lindsay because a) she accessorized better b) her updo allows to see more of the dress and c) because the dress hugs her in all the right places whereas I do not think that it flatters Khloe’s body shape very much. But what do you think?

BCBG Black and White Satin Cocktail Dress

If you liked Lindsay’s and Khloe’s black and white Hervé Léger dress, but don’t want to spend a fortune, try this BCBG monochrome satin bandage dress by BCBG. The dresses are almost identical except for the material and the straps.

Max Azria is the chef designer of both BCBG and Hervé Léger, so I guess this cheaper knockoff version is his take on Hervé Léger 4 Less.

Nicole Richie looked absolutely fabulous when she was out and about in Beverly Hills a few weeks ago. Nicole was wearing a red double breasted coat from Sonia by Sonia Rykiel, black skinny jeans & matching Louboutins with white trimmed Chanel sunglasses, a slouchy Rick Owens beanie and her much loved Balenciaga motorcycle bag.

Bebe “Mariah” Satin Peep-toe Pumps

Now this is a spot on knockoff coming from Bebe. The upper material might be different and the pumps aren’t available in beige, but apart from that, these satin peep-toe pumps are quite the same. The double platform, the bows on the front, the extreme high heel, it’s all identical. These Fendi knockoffs originally retailed for $149, but have been reduced to $101.49 since. They also come in black satin or gold snakeskin ($169).

Vanessa Hudgens looked spring-ready in her boho-inspired attire wearing a printed green summer dress with cute black Chinese Laundry sandals, a grey suede JJ Winters fringed bag and a turquoise stoned Calleen Cordero cuff.

Our Rating:

Chinese Laundry “Sudoku” Sandals

Aren’t these “Sudoku” sandals by Chinese Laundry just too cute? And they’re affordable, too. A perfect pair of summer flats with an edgy twist. Other available color options are desert tan, navy and rose.

If Zappos doesn’t have the Sudoku sandals in your size or desired color, you might want to try your luck at these stores:

• Heels.com ($69.99, available in black, beige and navy)
• Piperlime.com ($70, desert tan only)

Vanessa sure loves her Chinese Laundry “Sudoku” sandal flats as she has been seen sporting them various times while she was out and about.

JJ Winters Grey Suede Fringed Bag

This grey suede fringe messenger bag by JJ Winters costs $425 and is also available in black and purple.

Seems like Vanessa is also a big fan of her JJ Winters fringed bag. She has been seen toting it around at least a dozen times.

Calleen Cordero Julia Pfeifer Cuff #8

I LOVE Vanessa’s turquoise stoned Calleen Cordero cuff. It’s quintessential boho chic, handmade and the quantities are limited. If $249 is your kind of budget, get yours before they’re gone.

So we’re back at Alexander McQueen again. I told I am big fan of his designs, so here we’ll go again with another gorgeous pair of footwear he created.

These square toe pumps were pretty hot on the red carpet about 6 months ago. They retailed for $595 at NET-A-PORTER, but are now completely sold out.

L.A.M.B. Primrose Square Toe Pumps

Not being the cheapest alternative ($252.12 sale price), but certainly a very good one is this square toe pump by Gwen Stefani’s brand L.A.M.B. called “Primrose” which comes in either black or plum satin. The heel is slightly different and the “Primrose” pumps have a metal embellishment on each vamp, but otherwise they are quite the same.

Also available here:

• Heels ($299.99, plum satin, limited sizes between 6-10)
• Zappos ($349, plum satin only, sizes 5.5-9)

Office Shoes Point and Square Pumps

This is by far my favorite “interpretation” of Alexander McQueen’s square toe pumps. I love the faux snakeskin pattern and the extreme high heel. These Office pumps seem to be overall well manufactured and clean in design. They are a bit expensive with £70 (~ $100), but I am sure they’ll be a great investment. The pumps also come in red and black patent and pewter.

Aldo Shoes “Saric” Square Toe Pumps

Another great alternative if you want Alexander McQueen 4 Less are these “Saric” square toe pumps by Aldo. They retail for $90 and were available in black satin like the Alexander McQueen ones, but apparently sold out and now the only colors left are black and red patent and black leather.

Steven By Steve Madden Sedona Square Toe Pumps

Of course Steve Madden couldn’t pass upon the chance to create his own version of the square toe pump which is called “Sedona“. His square toe pump comes in black patent with a faux fakeskin pattern, but the style is otherwise pretty similar.
