A ShoeMinx Tribute to the YSL Tribute Shoe

Celebs Show the YSL Legend Some Love

Yves Saint Laurent was widely considered the last of a generation that included Christian Dior and Coco Chanel and made Paris the fashion capital of the world, with the Rive Gauche, or Left Bank, as its elegant epicenter. Chanel may have given women Freedom, but Saint Laurent gave them Sovereignty. The loss of Yves Saint Laurent at the age of 71 earlier this month signifies the passing of a true fashion legend.

The “Tribute” from Yves Saint Laurent is adorned with a towering 5 1/2-inch heel, one of the tallest high-fashion shoes ever produced. Despite the height, Christina Aguilera, Victoria Beckham, Pam Anderson and Jennifer Lopez couldn’t wait to walk at elevations usually reserved for Las Vegas “dancers”.

The Mary Jane style comes in four colors: violet, red, black suede and black leather. The slingback version comes in violet, black leather and green suede. Adding to the walking challenge - and the reason the heel can go so high - is the 1 1/2-inch platform on the front of the shoe. The sky-high heels are so popular that most of YSL’s shoes now come in a 5 1/2-inch option.

Foot fetishists and shoe slaves alike worshiped this sexy Mary Jane as there’s nothing quite so confident, gutsy and cool about a girl who can get that high. The YSL Tribute also comes in a more manageable 3 1/2 inch version, if you’re a wuss. We see Pam likes to be carried in hers, while Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera work the “Tribute” like they mean it.
