Christina Aguilera rang in the new year at TAO at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas with her husand Jordan Bratman. Here she is with Nicole Richie, who counted down the last seconds to 2010 at LAVO at the Palazzo Hotel:

Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie wore a gold dress from her own Winter Kate collection. She accessorized it with YSL Tribtoo Pumps which we wrote about before.

Christina Aguilera on the other hand was in a beaded black dress from Moschino. On her feet were these gorgeous black and red Christian Louboutin Calypso Pumps with beaded toes:

These 50s-inspired Louboutins are the perfect choice for Christina, who often prefers a rockabilly style to her outfits. And with her platinum blond hair and bright red lips, it’s no secret that Christina likes to emulate Marilyn Monroe, who was one of the biggest stars in the 50s and is considered to be one of the greatest actresses of all time.

Even though the pumps are 50s-inspired, we didn’t have a hard time looking for these beaded alternatives. Check out some of these similar styles to the Louboutins:

Beaded and studded shoes are making a big comeback this 2010!
