Yves Saint Laurent‘s iconic Tribtoo (or Trib Two?) pumps have been on the market for about 3 years now and even though 3 years equal a million seasons in fashion industry time they still happen to be the most flaunted heels on the red carpet. Celebrities just can’t get enough of them. The platform pumps have been re-released in each and every color under the sun by now. My favorite is the new red patent version. Are these borderline tacky hooker shoes? Definitely, but that’s exactly the point where heads start turning. For the faint of heart these are not.

Victoria Beckham Loves YSL
Victoria Beckham seems to be YSL’s biggest fan as she has Tribtoos in at least 5 different colors. She was also the only celebrity who has been seen wearing the red patent version yet.
Wet Seal Round Toe Platform Pumps
UPDATE (01/12/2010): Found another amazing YSL Tribtoo alternative by Wet Seal.
I know these pumps aren’t red but pink, but I just stumbled upon these on Wet Seal and jumped out of my seat. Those pumps are so close to the YSL Tribtoos and cost only $24.50?! This must be the deal of the month or so. They are currently available in black and pink and if I were you I’d snag both colors NOW because these heels will go fast. Click on the link below and navigate to the shoes section or enter style number “41684603” in the search field to find the YSL knockoffs on the Wet Seal website.

Bebe “Liza” Platform Pumps
Bebe‘s ode to the YSL Tribtoos is called “Liza” and I’ve been a fan of these YSL inspired platforms ever since I first wrote about them in black about a year ago. They’re probably my favorite knockoffs EVER! The red version is delicate though it has a few differences like the wooden heel and the fact that it does not come in patent leather. But the exaggerated, unique shape that makes the Tribtoos stand out is identical! Be fast to stock up on this color, these heels will be sold out soon.

The best copy imo are the wittner ones (Australian shoe brand). I bought them, and they are an exact match. (www.wittner.com.au)
