Back in February Jessica Biel attended the 2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party looking beautiful in a magenta one shoulder satin gown by Oscar De La Renta which was cinched in with a wide gold belt by the same designer. While I wasn’t a fan of Jessica’s make-up and hair, there’s no denying how stunning she looked in that exquisite, mermaid-esque dress.

I just stumbled upon your site and LOVE IT! I was wondering if in your research you ever came across a knockoff version of the Christian Louboutin Striped Satin d’Orsay sandal in blue. I would love to have this shoe to wear for my wedding but since I am paying for said wedding I can’t afford to drop a grand on shoes alone.
Thank you!
You might remember this reader request I got from Sarah. Back then I wasn’t able to find a knockoff in the desired blue color, so I featured the black and gold/silver ones I found. That was until today when I accidentally found a neat knockoff pair by Charlotte Russe.

Charlotte Russe Tiered Colorblock Platforms
Charlotte Russe’s Louboutin knockoffs may not be of any competition to the real Louboutins, but since they retail for $26.99 you sure can’t beat them in terms of the price! And if you enter AFF15PCT at checkout, you will get them even cheaper (15% OFF your order, offer valid until June 13, 2009)! Other available color options are black/grey, brown and fuchsia. HAPPY WEDDING, Sarah!

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.

- 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.
