GUILT-FREE SHOPPING: JESSICA SIMPSON, RACHEL BILSON, EVA LONGORIA DESIGN STUART WEITZMAN SHOES FOR CHARITY AUCTION

Fabulous Designer Shoes + Tax-Deductible =

Shoe Nirvana!

Known for his million dollar Oscar shoes and classic high-end designs, Stuart Weitzman’s sumptuous pumps and studded stilettos literally make headlines. Now the designer is combining Hollywood’s star power and stylish shoes to shine the spotlight on a worthy cause - ovarian cancer. Twenty-nine notable names from film, sports and music have donned their creative caps and customized a pair of Stuart Weitzman pumps for the annual Stuart Weitzman Annual Celebrity Shoe Auction.

After the fuss she kicked up about Weitzman’s “Cinderella” shoes at last year’s Oscars, don’t look for Juno scribe Diablo Cody to be among the charitable do-gooders. Online bidding is open until September 30th. Shop happy - 100% of the proceeds go directly to support ovarian cancer research.

With more than 200 pairs in her custom walk-in closet, high-heel devotee and “Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria paid homage to her love of designer footwear with a Prada-esque shoe accessorized with a bouffant bow and on-trend heel embellishment.

Jessica Simpson knows a thing or two about shoes.  The Come on Over country singer and shoe designer fashioned a gorgeous “Moulin Rouge” beaded red heel with black ribbon and lace. ShoeMinx is not ashamed to admit that our credit card is at the ready if a more polished version of this shoe finds its way to her shoe collection (hint, hint).

Paris Hilton isn’t the only heiress who can work a pair of heels. Ivanka Trump showed off her impeccable sense of style with an elegant crystal adorned design worthy of any red carpet.

From former “O.C.” star Rachel Bilson, a whimsical pair themed “Feathers” with her signature flair for dare-to-be different footwear. ShoeMinx can totally imagine Sarah Jessica Parker in these for the Sex and the City movie sequel.  Pssst Patricia, the opening bid is a steal at only $300.

Who knew Hollywood was such a well-spring of shoe design talent?  This auction is like a celebrity edition of “America’s Got Talent.” Creating haute heels for a chance to become the next Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik: now that’s a reality show we would definitely tune in to watch.

Other celebrity designers include:  Ashlee Simpson, Blake Lively, Christie Brinkley, Danica Patrick, Denise Richards, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Ginnifer Goodwin, Hilary Duff, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Jamie King, Janet Jackson, Jessica Alba, Joy Bryant, Kiefer Sutherland, Kim Raver, Kristen Bell, Leelee Sobieski, Leighton Meester, Michelle Trachtenberg, Rose Byrne, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Serena Williams, Susan Sarandon and Zooey Deschanel.

Get the celebrity attention you deserve in these flirty gold “Submit” sandals. Shop for more of Stuart Weitzman’s sophisticated styles at ShoeCompare.com.

Serena Williams Goes For Gold On and Off the Tennis Court

The Williams Sisters Love Sexy Footwear

Kim Kardashian ain’t got nothing on Glam Slam champ Serena Williams. The powerhouse player known for her curves as much as her serves on the tennis court is playing her first singles match at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Ever since stepping on the court in the 90s with sister Venus, Williams has rocked the hush-voiced, genteel world of tennis with her warrior princess style of play and on-court fashions. Wearing dangling earrings and colored beads in her hair, her entry in the sports spotlight stirred interest and controversy not seen since women first started wearing short skirts to play.

Her look grabbed the attention of photographers who captured not only amazing tennis moments, but tennis fashions as well. The five-time Wimbledon champ gets the gold medal for daring outfits, including a leather-like catsuit at the U.S. Open in 2002 and even more daring, boots and denim skirts in 2004. Williams, who is also a clothing designer, missed the opening ceremony at this year’s Olympics; ShoeMinx can’t help but wonder what looks she would have turned out for the U.S. team uniforms if she had been given the design nod instead of Ralph Lauren. Oh, the possibilities . . .

These Jimmy Choo are fitting for a fierce competitor and fashionista like Williams to wear for her post-victory interviews with ESPN. Buy these sexy shoes on sale here.
