Miss “American Dream” Britney Spears celebrated her 28th birthday last December 2. To commemorate, she will grace the cover of the January 2010 issue of Elle Magazine along with another popstar, Lady Gaga.

Photographer Carter Smith was commissioned to do the honors, and here is one shot of Britney to be included in the inside spread:

Britney Spears wears a Valentino marabou-feather coat with Christian Louboutin leather pumps.

The concept for the photoshoot is a “caged bird”, but don’t Britney’s retro polka-dotted peep toe shoes make her look more like a pin up girl?

The Louboutins cost nearly a thousand dollars, but there are always alternatives to high luxury items of course. Here are 3 not as expensive but just as nice polka-dotted heels :

Aside from the adorable retro polka-dot designs, another great thing about these shoes is they’re all ON SALE. Take $5 off on the Not Rated Lotsa Dots Pump, 20% off on the Jessica Simpson Brenda 2 Pump, and get as much as 50% off on the Diego di Lucca Jetta Wedge.

All shoes are available at Heels.com.
