Red Carpet Rivalry: The Dark Knight in Tokyo Vs The Mummy in LA

Red Carpet Looks from the Last 24 hours

Maggie Gyllenhaal Goes Up Against Michelle Yeoh

Maggie pairs black criss-cross sandals with a daring orange peep-show dress by Jean Paul Gaultier at the Japanese premiere of The Dark Knight held at Tokyo International Forum on Thursday in Tokyo, Japan.

The Dark Knight has been dominating the international box office with $65.6 million at 7,143 theaters in 43 markets, pushing its foreign cumulative take to $126.3 million. It’s international gross total stands right now at $126.3 million, and worldwide at over $440 million.

Meanwhile, the Bale/Gyllenhaal flick is also over halfway to earning the title of highest money-making film of all time, which is currently held by Titanic at a whopping $601 million.

While ShoeMinx has a hard time promoting The Mummy Boring Formulaic Cash Grab Set in the Desert, we have no qualms about giving huge style props to Michelle Yeoh. She added smart to sexy as a Bond girl opposite Pierce Brosnan’s 007, and proved her dramatic and action credentials in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

Michelle certainly brings a mix of silk and steel to this franchise. We love her choice of YSL platform shoes for this big splashy premiere. Great choice with the vibrant yellow gold cocktail dress. We love these shoes in the “Sahara” color even more. Check out YSL’s shoe collection here.

Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff: ShoeMinx Spotlight on Dancin’ Shoes

Lovers Come and Go But Sexy Shoes are Forever

karina-and-mario-dinner

Karina Smirnoff and Mario Lopez displayed undeniable chemistry on the dance floor in the second season of Dancing with the Stars. But drama “off the dance floor” got way more tangled than even the pair’s most complex on-screen tango!

Lopez cannot seem to keep it in his pants no matter how hot his current girl is. Remember recent fiance Ali Landry?! The details of Lopez’s cheating on his dance partner/girlfriend with a Hooters girl are now very well documented.

Smirnoff’s responded by accepting every appearance request and hitting every photo op in LA. She even tagged along with real bold face names to The Dark Knight premiere last night.

Smirnoff is thankfully moving onwards and upwards, stepping out and making it clear that she’s on the market. Her choice in post-break up shoes? A pair of flirtatously sexy Fendi platform pumps.

We don’t doubt that KS did all the work in this relationship:

As far as reality TV stars go… KS had her surreal moments in the tabloids, that’s for sure:

After all it takes a lot of prep and hours of “cosmetics” time to go from running around backstage with blankets wrapped around your air-brushed bod to photo ops like this:

And when it comes to tango, as it does in life… having the right shoes can make or break your performance. Shop for styles inspired by Smirnoff’s fancy footwear here.
