Louboutin Star Wars Shoes Benefit Starlight Foundation

Louboutin Star Wars Shoes

Long ago we shared with you some very funky Star Wars shoes by trendy brand Irregular Choice.  You can now throw those in the back of the closet because legendary chic shoe designer Christian Louboutin has just created 5 pair of swanky heels – each embellished with bejeweled tie-fighters –  for The Walt Disney Studios and Lucasfilm as  a one-of-a-kind collaboration for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Christian Louboutin and Vice President and Executive Creative Director for the Star Wars franchise, Doug Chiang, conceived of and created five extraordinary pieces inspired by the film – four custom shoe styles epitomizing the spirit of four of the film’s heroines: Rey (Daisy Ridley), Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo (Laura Dern), Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) and Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran) and one last pair, The Spaceship – a Showcase shoe to be unveiled later this week.

The commemorative styles — each signed by the designer, as well as the actress that portrays each character, were created for auction now through December 20 2017, with proceeds benefitting Starlight Children’s Foundation on behalf of Star Wars: Force for Change

Each shoe is valued at $10,000 a pair and comes with a special screening of the movie at Lucasfilms Headquarters. Bidding has already begun.

This is not the first time Louboutin has created a shoe for a Disney Movie, he was one of the designers who re-imagined shoes for Cinderella.
