What man is lucky enough to elicit declarations of love from Ashley Olsen, Rachel Bilson, Hayden Panettiere, Molly Sims and Kristen Bell — all on the same night? Shoemaker extraordinaire Christian Louboutin, of course! Young Hollywood’s A-list turned out to fete the french designer at an exclusive cocktail party in Hollywood last night. Hayden (in a Trina Trunk halter top) gushed to PEOPLE of her platform pumps, “these were my birthday gift, and I’ve had one pair like every week since. I’m addicted, but I’ve only bought two. I don’t know how I’ve managed to acquire [them]. It’s like they’re popping out of the woodwork!” While Hayden and Heroes costar Kristen Bell whispered in a corner, Molly Sims revealed she’s been a fan of Louboutin for over a decade. “They’re comfortable, they’re stylish — he just hits it whether it be with the ribbon or the cork or the platform. I mean, have you seen the new sexy shoe boot with the zipper up the front? He’s incredible!” Echoing the ultra-luxe shoes wearability and comfort was Friday Night Lights‘ Minka Kelly, who claimed “the first day that you wear them it feels like you’ve worn them for 4 years. You can wear them all day long, and they’re really the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn.” As for the man of the hour, Louboutin told PEOPLE that his success “comes from a very simple thing is that when you”re designing things, people can see the pleasure in doing what you do, and my biggest pleasure is actually my work and is designing shoes.” Lucky for us!

Mariah Carey has an established over-the-top style — but even knowing her love for big hair, slinky dresses and high heels, our jaws still dropped over the shoes she wore out to dinner in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. The singer (and new perfume maven) headed out to eat in a pair of Giambattista Valli platform heels that have a staggering five and a half inch heel on them (135 mm, to be exact). We cannot imagine being able to take one step in a pair of heels that high, much less spend a whole night out in them (although it does look like Mariah is getting a little help)! But maybe we’re just wimpy so we want to know what you think! Tell us: Would you wear Mariah’s high heels? Could you walk in them?
