Monica

Today I received a request from Kay-Marie who requested us to find a more affordable version of the sky-high DSQUARED² LisaBeth” spiked platform pumps which Monica wore on the George Lopez show recently:

Hello,
Monica, the R&B singer, was wearing these gorgeous sandals while performing on the George Lopez show. They are called LisaBeth but they are expensive. Can you find any shoes similar to these?

Thank you.

You can see Monica rocking these borderline fetish heels in the video below. She also tweeted a pic of the shoes. It must have been quite to hard to walk in the 6.2″ platforms. But she definitely rocked them well!

Shiekh “LLV” Spiked Platform Pumps

UPDATE (06/02/2011): One of our readers informed us about these fab DSQUARED² look-a-likes by Shiekh. They miss the ankle strap, but the rest is spot-on. Available in black or gold.

Enigma HH101 Clear Vinyl Pumps

A few weeks ago I came across these studded clear vinyl pumps by Enigma and my knockoff instinct rang out loud immediately, but I couldn’t put my finger on the original designer, so I quickly forgot about them. When Kay-Marie emailed me the pic of the DSQUARED² heels the Enigma pumps instantly popped up back in my head. You can clearly see the inspiration behind these even though they are not quite as high, have a rounder shape and gold flat studs instead of silver spikes. Overall still eerily similar, aren’t they? Available with black or white trimming.

I’m pretty sure these Christian Louboutin heels will polarize. You either love or hate them! There’s no question about these being borderline fetish; many refer to these extreme platform pumps as “stripper heels” which is also kind of true since they do have a heavy resemblance with the footwear strippers usually wear, only I do think these have a lot more class. We’ve gotten a few requests from our readers who asked us to find a budget-friendly alternative, so keep on reading to get your Loubie fix 4 less. Feel free to chime in on whether you think these are a do or a don’t.

UPDATE (06/02/2011): Just stumbled upon these super fab platforms by UK shoe brand Carvela. I think they’re a great alternative if you’re craving the Louboutin look. Available in black or nude patent.

Bordello by Pleaser Teeze-07 Platform Pumps

These Bordello by Pleaser platform pumps have been around way longer than the Louboutins, so maybe Louboutin took his inspiration from these rather than the other way round? They are borderline stripperish (more so if you consider all the other shoe styles from this line), but now that Louboutin has made stripper heels red carpet acceptable you might get away wearing these. Available in 17 (!) different colors, materials & finishes. Sequined, lace-covered, glittered… basically anything your heart could wish for.

Chinese Laundry “Keep It Real” Platform Pumps

HOT DEAL: Use code “CL15REG323” for 15% OFF reg. priced styles! Ends 05/31.

These Chinese Laundry heels have a few differences, but I’m still pretty sure Louboutin’s Lady Daf heels were the inspiration to these platforms. The platform here is super sick, right? Available in black or white.
