Vanity Fair Puts it to Bright Young Hollywood: Choo or Louboutin?

Pressing Questions for the Young and the Strapless Set…

HOT OFF THE PRESSES! : Vanity Fair ’s annual “New Wave” issue is full of hard-hitting journalism, with tough questions being asked our almost famous starlets.

It’s been only five years since Vanity Fair took a reading of Hollywood’s ingenue constellation — featuring the rise of Lindsay Lohan , the Olsen twins , and Shia LaBeouf . Nonetheless, this new wave of new kids seem more shrewd amid the Perez Hilton -YouTube-Gawker-TMZ minefield.

Of course, no interview about career paths is complete without the all-important “Jimmy Choo or Christian Louboutin?” question. And as ShoeMinx calls it, it sure looks like Louboutin is kicking Choo to the curb when it comes to the despotic desires of the Young Hollywood Ruling Class. The full questionnaires can be read here .

But if you’re only interested in shoe preferences - as we clearly are - pull up a chair and join the club: check out ShoeMinx’s exclusive Shoe-Centric Reporting below. And yes, you have permission to judge an actor by his/her footwear. That’s how we here at ShoeMinx chose our favorite Jonas brother. Anyone who wears Sperry Top-Sider boat shoes is all right by us.
