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.

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.
