The Scoop on Cate Blanchett’s $11,000 Shoes!

Gaye Gerard/Getty

French brand Roger Vivier is known for their pricey buckled shoes, which can range anywhere from $396 for signature flats to four digits for boots. For the Helpmann Awards this week in Australia, Cate Blanchett donned a pair of limited edition Roger Vivier Limelight America platform heels with sequined star detail and Swarovski crystal buckles. The shiny heels made the rest of Roger Vivier’s heels look downright affordable with a startling $11,000 price tag! We are all for splurging on designer heels, but $11,000 for one pair? That’s our fantasy shoe budget for the year! Tell us: What is the most you are willing to spend as a splurge on shoes?

I doubt that she actually paid for them. They probably gave them to her as to be photographed in; so that blogs like this one would write about it and would get their name out…thought I would say this before there are thousands of comments that talk about how selfish she is for spending that kind of money on shoes instead of feeding starving people in Africa.

Tina

they are beautiful shoes and they are worth every cent that she paid for them !!!

nicki

guartee if she had to work REALLY hard for her money she wouldnt have spent that much.

K, I agree with ya. A lot of the outrageously big-ticket clothes/accessories that these celebs have are often just a one-time borrow.

But anyhow, I think the most I would be willing to spend on a pair of shoes is $1000. And they would have to be phenomenally exquisite and well-made to justify the cost.

most i spent was 200 dollars on tall colen haan boots and and they were marked down from 500.

lydia

sry about my last comment. that is entirely untrue

orli

those shoes are beautiful, but i don’t know if i’d pay 11,000 for them. the most i’ve ever EVER spent on shoes was a pair of louboutins for around 500, and the most i’ll ever spend on those is maybe 700-800, but they would have to be a) on sale from some other ridiculous price; b) the most amazing and mindblowing things i had ever seen on this earth.

they look very old fashioned pilgrim-ish – 11,000$ could be spent on sooooo many other things that are more important – that’s food for a family of four for 3 years

Weird.

Abigail

The most I’d spend on a pair of dressy shoes? $40 I’m a cheapskate :)
