America Ferrera: Keepin’ it Real on set in Brooklyn
Gag Reel > Keeping America *Ugly* is a Full Time Job

This was the scene on the set of Ugly Betty yesterday. We here at ShoeMinx rarely gag at the sight of black pumps - but kudos to ABC for bringing our oatmeal back up. Those bows with that belt - crazy hideous! We can see the costume department is working overtime to perfect the title character’s signature “On a Day Pass from the Bushwick Group Home” look. Seriously, it must take a lot of time and work to get her looking so over-the-top frumpy - she’s such a beautiful girl.

Under the blazing hot sweaty sun, the actors still had to look good fresh- not an easy task in the intense heat. We’re surprised apres ski wool slippers were the downtime slipper of choice?!

ShoeMinx would have offered America a pair of these:

Say what you will about the lazy, ubiquitous look of Crocs, but they’re popular for a reason.
So. Ridiculously. Comfortable.
They’re ventilated, slip resistant, anti-microbial, super lightweight and feature an orthopedic foot bed.

Nicole Kidman: Ready for Baby Booties and Outback Style Ferragamo
Coming November 14 2008 > Kidman and Jackman in Australia

Sure ShoeMinx is happy to report on Sunday Rose… but, predictably, we’re way more *over the moon* to scoop some rather thrilling shoe news from Nic’s upcoming epic Australia. The film re-teams Nicole with her Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrman and designer Catherine Martin. As part of the film’s 1940’s look, Nicole and Catherine engaged designer and Shoe God Salvatore Ferragamo to design all of the vintage-inspired accessories. Ferragamo, a costumer designer before turning couturier, was responsible for Marilyn Monroe’s iconic pumps from The Seven Year Itch.
Nicole was seen modeling a pair of Ferragamo riding boots in this month’s issue of American Vogue.

Luckily for us, all of the shoes worn by Nicole’s character will be available for purchase. This includes the above riding boots and a pair of sexy velvet shoes that will be included in Ferragamo’s holiday collection.
Can’t wait for the Australia collection to hit the stores? Check out the Ferragamo Fall Collection.
These Ferragamo Neil Wedge Boots should do the trick…
