Christina Aguilera's Burlesque Louboutins

The entry I made about these last year is my highest-viewed of any other post in my blog. In November, I recommended buying the Tsar to get as close to the custom Burlesque version as possible. However, after recently being contacted by someone with a black satin Tsar, it hit me: why not recommend the Fetilo Lace instead? The Tsar has a pom pom-like floral embellishment on the front, so it would be near impossible to recreate the Burlesque version without removing it. The Fetilo lace, despite having a structured heel, has an empty vamp in which a shoe clip or floral applique could be applied. The hardest part would be finding a high-quality floral embellishment. What are your guys' thoughts?

The Burlesque Christian Louboutin Christina worn in the movie looks to have been strassed with Greige or Golden Shadow crystals. Frankly, it's hard to tell from this picture. The floral embellishment on the front is custom of course, but I think it could be done. It's the matter of finding the right materials.

Here is a black Tsar strassed with Jet crystals. I recommended this look to my client, while also suggesting to strass the platform and any floral portions.
This shoe could be painted(excluding the pom pom), a warm honey color, and then strassed with golden crystals. Or, you could leave as is and strass with clear crystals.




The regular nude Fetilo fishnet is also an option. I have loved this style from the beginning.
