SARAH JESSICA PARKER SHOWS HER PUCK-ISH SIDE IN MARGIELA SATYR SHOES

The Only Thing Missing is a Lute and an Old English Accent

Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker was not among the gaggle of famous faces at Fashion Week but the style star still managed to make a fashion statement while out and about in NYC. Following rule number one of “How to Dress Like a Style Icon”: Never let them see you in sweatpants, the Bitten designer was snapped in a very Gap-tastic ensemble accessorized with - ACK! WHAT are those things on her feet?!

These shoes are… Wow. Um. Yeah. They’re a bit Harajuku-Girls-Star-In-Gwen-Stefani’s-Cracked-Out-Theatrical-Production-Of-A Midsummer-Night’s-Dream. Or something.

Martin Margiela, the Keyser Soze of the fashion world, has clearly spent WAY too much time living off the grid. The avant-garde designer used jikatabi, the split-toe socks worn with kimonos, as the inspiration for his heeled “tabi shoes” like SJP’s split-toe pump since 1988. Since then, Margiela has featured variations of his signature tabi theme in his Maison Martin Margiela collection. The centuries old style is all the rage among the terminally chic in Europe and Asia. Yes, they’re very much a statement item and yes, it takes guts to wear them. Margiela may call it “experimental deconstruction,” we call it a toe wedgie. So now women have a new worry; first underwear wedgies, now this.

Get Martin Margiela’s tabi flat from eLuxury. An athletic “Ninja” shoe design is also available from Nike. Hi-yah!

Olivia Wilde, Evangeline Lilly, Tina Fey, Sandra Oh: Hottest Women in Prime Time

Rene Coavilla Stars on the Emmys Red Carpet

Texture was a surprise trend of the night, with Evangeline Lilly in a gorgeous embroidered and sequined Elie Saab couture gown. The only trouble with awards season gowns is that we can’t see the sweet Rene Coavilla shoes under the Cinderella dress!

Sandra Oh in an embellished lace Oscar de la Renta gown. We only wish we could see the vintage Chanel pumps hidden underneath her hem. Pick up your skirt, girl.

And how hot is House star Olivia Wilde? Blisteringly hot, we’d say.

ShoeMinx Loves It When Smart Women Writers Get the Gold: It was definitely Tina Fey’s night. She traded in her trademark glasses-and-black-dress look for an eggplant-hued David Meister gown. And then she accessorized with three Emmys. Yes, three. The writing profession needs more poster girls like her. Because wit is the new sexy.

Reenact the Emmys in your own Rene Caovilla pumps. Be sure to thank ShoeMinx in your acceptance speech. And Ricky Gervais. Because he redeemed the night with his hilarious banter and should be subsequentally praised for it by all. In fact, we nominate him for host next year. No offense to Jeff Probst and friends….
