Each year
shoe designer Stuart Weitzman creates one-of-a-kind shoes for the Oscars.
This year he is using jewels that were once owned by Rita Hayworth to create
a pair of jeweled
shoes. Hayworth's daughter, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan has given Weitzman permission to use the jewels. The Oscar
shoes and the actress who will wear them will be revealed on March 2. The shoes will be worth around $3 million and
will be decorated with Hayworth's earrings. After the party, the shoes will be fitted with with a replica of the jewels
by Swarovski Crystals and will be auctioned March 6, the day after the Oscars, with proceeds going to the
Alzheimer's Association.
