Paris, Jessica and Gwen: Blond Bombshells Battle for Tops in Celebrity Shoe Sales

It’s OK to Admit Liking Celebrity Footwear Collections.

We all have secrets that we’re a wee bit embarrassed by, things that we’d rather leave buried in dark, cobwebby corners. Maybe it’s knowing all the dance moves to N’Sync’s song “Bye Bye Bye.” One secret that many share, but few admit, is that they actually like some of the shoes in celebrity collections. Women talk openly about their love for Manolo, Louboutin, Gucci or Prada in worshipful tones. But admitting that Jessica Simpson or Paris Hilton actually have some pretty cute shoes in their lines or that you (gasp) actually own a pair? No one says it out loud-it’s like gossiping about your friend’s affair in the women’s rest room after making sure all the stalls are empty.

Celeb footwear may lack the snob appeal of high-end designers but are certainly competitive in the heel race for consumers’ cash. Celebrity mogul Jessica Simpson’s line is the number one sales leader over names like Christian Lacroix, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Pucci, and Steve Madden. Harajuku Girl and designer Gwen Stefani, who arguably has a greater fashion footprint than Simpson, is second with her L.A.M.B. collection. Heiress of Hype Paris Hilton’s line is also reported to be doing well with her debut line; her fall collection was recently launched at Macy’s in Las Vegas.

There’s no way to know if women are buying celebrity shoes because of a celebrity’s star power, or if it’s simply a decision based on shoe design. Either way, a cute shoe is a cute shoe and looking fabulous is what counts.

Shop these stylish options from Simpson, Stefani and Hilton.

We love these ivory pumps by Gwen Stefani.

And we hate to admit that these Paris Hilton Brea Peep Toes are pretty gorgeous.
