High Heel Fashion Icons

When you think about high heel fashions and the women that wear them, who are the ones that come to your mind as the trendsetters?
This is a roundup of what I thought might be some of them, but feel free to comment if you disagree (or agree) or feel someone has been missed.
At the top of the list, we thought Victoria Beckham made the most sense. She’s probably been featured in this blog more than any other celebrity, although Gwyneth Paltrow was giving her a run for the money during the release of the Iron Man movie.

Next we have Miss Mariah Carey (AKA Mimi), who is no stranger to being a diva, and will even be the first to tell you so. She also has what is probably the most famous shoe closet (Posh – that’s how you can get more media! Build a shoe closet to outdo Mariah’s!) and wearing high heels just about everywhere.
What do her and Victoria Beckham have in common besides their love affair for shoes? They both wore heels to throw out the first ball when invited to a baseball game.

Then there is Carrie Bradshaw, who’s played by Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City TV series and movie. Carrie may have single handedly made Manolo Blahnik’s a household name across America, and showed women everywhere that it’s ok to obsess about shoes. While her character had her own style, it was her love for shoes and her Manhattan salary that let us live vicariously through her, at least while shopping .

Have I missed someone?

Me?
Just Kidding! (Sort of….)
Hmmm…. I’m thinking maybe Helen Mirrin – if only for her sense of humor in wearing her “lucky” stripper shoes to red carpet events. She’s lovely and has a sense of humor.

For high heels I think of Renee Zellweger, Christine Aguilera, Kate Beckinsale and maybe Eva Mendes. These ladies always make a big splash wearing high heels. They seem to always be wearing them whether out and about or at fancy events. And they look fantastic doing so.

Marilyn Monroe, who knew how to make her heels sexier by making one of them just a touch shorter than the other, thereby emphasizing the wiggle in her walk.

How about Cher? She has a shoe closet to rival Mariah’s or vice versa. Then there’s Celine Dion who is also vocal about her love for footwear.

Thanks for all the great suggestions!
Agree with them all.
I also wondered about Audrey Hepburn…
Before my time, but should she also be on the list?
