Danica Patrick: IndyCar Racing Goddess Rocks Teen Choice Awards in Gladiators

Go, Go Danica Patrick

As a 5′2″ woman who weighs just 100 pounds, petite race car driver Danica Patrick stands out in the male-dominated world of IndyCar racing. The Go Daddy pitch woman was also a stand out at the Teen Choice Awards where she was nominated for “Choice Female Athlete.”

She didn’t win but if it’s any consolation, she gets the ShoeMinx award for “Best Heels.” Get Danica’s look with these Christian Louboutin sandals here.

Patrick’s gray strapless dress is perfectly acceptable but somewhat benign. Her outfit would have escaped notice were it not for the standout gold gladiator heels she paired with it. MAH-VEL-LOUS. Her preference for funky footwear saved this look from total blahdom. The gladiator shoe continues to be the go-to shoe for the summer, but after an endless parade of similar styles in black and brown, this bold metallic is a refreshing change on the red carpet. Gold is a great accent color for a bit of “zigazigha”.

For a more cost-effective option for getting Danica’s look, preview these fabulous Amiclubwear Gold Gladiator sandals by clicking the link.

If you haven’t bought yourself a pair of Greco-Roman styled shoes for summer, it’s not too late. Warmer temperatures will take us well into fall where the fashion forecast is for gladiator shoes with wider straps and lace up shoe-boots with chunkier heels and uppers and heavy hardware. Think Viking Vixen or bondage femme fatale for fall 2008. These Jimmy Choo sandals can be purchased here.

Mariah Carey: Great Shoes, Shame about the Outfit

A Look Not Even Louboutin Can Save

Mariah Carey is nothing if not consistent. She’s found a signature style and she’s sticking to it! The E=MC2 crooner and Glitter . . . uh star, dresses her inner 12-year old in saccharine sweet ensembles from the Rainbow Brite-meets-Hello Kitty collection and high heels for every occasion.

Don’t hold Mariah’s fashion crimes against these fabulous Christian Louboutin stilettos! Rehabilitate these watersnake platform peep-toe shoes with your own take on the little black dress. Find great prices on Christian Louboutin here.

Mrs. MC even teeters in stilettos to walk her dog! But could her obsession with sexy footwear be a medical condition and not a fashion affliction? Mariah has been famously quoted saying, “I can’t wear flat shoes. My feet repel them.” Her clothes might be stuck in the 80s, but her shoes strike the right high note.

We guess this is what passes for athletic shoes in Mariah’s fantasy world where butterflies and unicorns roam free. At least they’re less strappy than the heels she wore to work up a sweat on a Stairmaster on that memorable episode of MTV’s “Cribs.”

Save these shoes from future Mariah-induced ridiculousness by shopping for red Guiseppe Zanotti platforms and black Alexander McQueen pumps here.
