The MET Gala: Shoes That Rocked

Not everyone at the MET Gala dressed for the punk theme. Those who did, did it well, though. While Michelle Dockery slipped out of her leather jacket before hitting the carpet, her Fall 2013 Gianvito Rossis ensured that she kept her cool.

Amanda Seyfried Gorgeous in Givenchy

Amanda Seyfriend attended the Givenchy Fall/Winter 2013 Ready-to-Wear show in Paris over the weekend wearing, what else, head-to-toe Givenchy. The Givenchy Shark Lock suede sandals she’s wearing are fantastic. Tall, sleek with a turn lock clasp, these leather lovelies are perfect for a fancy affair paired with an LBD like Amanda wore, as they elongate … Continue reading “Amanda Seyfried Gorgeous in Givenchy”
