This year the Grammy’s were pretty subdued when it came to shoes, as most celebs opted for the sleek silhouette of the Christian Louboutin platform pump. I love the shoes, but I expected a bit more from the ladies. And though, I was slightly disappointed overall, I felt the Louboutin choice was perfect for some.

Jennifer Hudson, for instance, paired her construction embellished RM by Roland Mouret Trent dress with blue Christian Louboutin Declic pumps, which retail for $685.00. I thought the dress was the perfect pairing for the shoes. Not busy enough to distract you from the dress, but the perfect amount of color.

Angela Simmons paired her red Christian Louboutin Hidden Platform pumps with a white, layered hip mini dress. The shoe choice was perfect for this look, as the pumps gave the perfect pop of color.

LeToya Luckett’s pink mini with attached statement necklace was the perfect color combination for her aqua Christian Louboutin Rolando pumps, which retail for $1,195.00. It’s so unexpected, but still a breath a fresh air.

Paris Hilton arrived at the Nissan Live Sets on Yahoo! Music Anniversary Celebration at FOX Studios Lot today in Century City wearing these fabulous Christian Louboutin boots.

Paris looked great from head to toe. Her makeup looks fresh and her bucket hat is adorable.

She has a hip, chic casual appearance that she wears very well. The untucked shirt and cropped leather jacket give her a very modern look.

Though Paris’ black leather boots are certainly incredible, my favorite boot from Christian Louboutin is the brown suede version pictured below.

The Melissandre Suede Zip Boots feature a rich brown suede accented with white topstitching. The unique style has athe zipper up the front and an buckled cuff.

Super-stylish and ready to pair with nearly anything in your closet, these black & white Christian louboutin feature patent leather accents, peep-toe styling, and 3.5″ heels.

I’ve always been a sucker for the black and white combination because it’s so versatile, but so striking as well.

For an equally dynamic but totally different look, these pumps also come with an all black upper that has snakeskin print leather in place of the white, It is like Manolo Blahnik Sedarby Leopard-Print d’Orsay .

Either version will take warm weather suits, dresses and skirts off the charts.

To me, this is something I would probably never spend a lot of money on. It’s a look I might think is fun once for like a night out in Vegas or something. But, in case a hot pair of leopard platforms are on your list for Fall, here are some great options.

Christian louboutin has the leopard shoes too.

I’ve been getting some emails about the Christian Louboutin OTK Platform Boot (over the knee) boots I posted a few days ago and people are wondering how to rock them without looking like a hooker or a pirate. I too had my doubts when I first saw them, but paired with the right outfit you can come off looking oh-so chic!

Here’s a few suggestions to help ease you into them:

1. Since the boots aren’t black (and those are the ones you have to worry about looking hooker-y), I’m all for pairing them with a cute mini-skirt. You should also go for a something long sleeved on top to balance out the shortness of the skirt…especially if you opt out of the tights.

2. This is my favorite look! I really like skinny jeans (try grey ones) tucked into the boots…and this is really what these boots were designed for! It’s very Carine Roitfeld and paired with the chunky cardigan sweater it looks like you didn’t even try.

3. If you’re looking for a flat boot that doesn’t read pirate, make sure it’s in suede and NOT leather. The leather ones are too shiny and way too swashbuckling for me! When you wear them with a short flirty dress the look is feminine and really fun. Textured tights are optional with this one since you’re forgoing the heel.
