Million Dollar Shoe Honored With A Stamp

Filed under: Jewelry, Shoes

Stuart Weitzman's luxury diamond and gemstone embellished shoes always attract attention, usually on the feet of a starlet at a red-carpet event. But Weitzman's "Million Dollar" platinum shoe has received a unique honor, a country postage stamp issued by the Spanish government. The shoe features 464 Kwiat diamonds with a total carat weight of 61.92 mounted on a platinum mesh frame. The creation of the shoe was a collaboration between Platinum Guild International, Kwiat Diamonds and Stuart Weitzman. The stamp bears Stuart Weitzman's name and a picture of the show. Weitzman was celebrated at an event held at the National Shoe Museum in Elda, Spain, marking the 50th anniversary of the internationalization of the Spanish shoe industry. Weitzman's factories have been located in Alicante, Spain's shoemaking headquarters for the past 37 years.

No Stuart Weitzman Diamond Shoes At The Oscars

Since 2002, shoe designer Stuart Weitzman has chosen one woman to walk the red carpet at the Academy Awards in a pair of one-of-a-kind shoes adorned with over $1 million in gemstones. Last year, Weitzman created the "Retro Rose" shoes shown above for screenwriter Diablo Cody (who at the last minute opted not to wear them). This year there will be again be no feet in Weitzman's diamond shoes at the Oscars but for a different reason, the economy. He has said that he decided that the current situation calls for restraint and not extravagance. As Hollyscoop reports Weitzman still has his line of Red Carpet Collection shoes for the show and he is hosting a styling suite, he's just forgoing the stunt bling. His move is part of an overall toning down of awards shows this year. The glamour will still be at the Oscars but stars decked out in diamonds from ears to feet are out this season.

Filed under: Apparel, Celebrity Shopping


I've been feeling a bit bad for Anika Noni Rose, the third girl in the Dreamgirls trio. After all, Jennifer Hudson got the Oscar nod and the Vogue cover and Beyonce got a Sports Illustrated cover but what has Miss Rose gotten? At least she gets to wear a pair of amazing shoes. Stuart Weitzman has announced that Anika Noni Rose , will wear the Stuart Weitzman Diamond Dream Shoe to the 79th Annual Academy Awards. The shoes include 1,420 brilliant Kwiat diamonds totaling over 30 carats. The diamonds are set in platinum circles and the shoes are worth over half a million dollars.
