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.
My disappointment was mostly with Nia Long and Marissa Miller.
Nia Long looked fabulous as usually, but some strappy platform pumps would have been perfect for her sequins mini dress, instead of the nude Christian Louboutin Hidden Platform pumps priced at $795.00.
Marisa Miller wore an all white mini dress with a black waist sash. The dress was truly adorable, but she paired it with nude pumps, which was a full wash out. The Christian Loubout Prive Pump retails for 895.00.

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such magnificent info being shared freely out there.
