Retro and vintage shoe lovers must’ve noticed the two-tone high-heeled oxfords Jessica Biel wore at a NASCAR race on Sunday, May 30. She was there with co-star Bradley Cooper to promote their new movie “The A-Team” (showing in theaters on June 11). Jessica Biel’s black and cream shoes were real standouts at the race track, especially since she paired them with just a simple black top and white capris. Here are some pics:

Jessica Biel’s shoes are the Raffia Oxford Pumps by Dries Van Noten:

Isn’t it sexy? The curved heel is such a beautiful detail.
I can’t locate an online boutique that carries this shoe yet, but the flat-soled Dries Van Noten Woven Leather Brogues version is available at BrownsFashion.com for approximately ~ $715.35:
If finding a online vendor was hard, looking for a less expensive alternative to these oxfords was even harder. The closest I found are these bone-colored Loni Lace Up Pump from Elizabeth and James. Now, Elizabeth and James is hardly ever considered a “cheaper alternative” but in this case, these macramé snake-embossed lace-up pumps are at least around $300 cheaper than the Dries Van Notens:

They’re not oxfords or brogues anymore, but I think these Elizabeth and James shoes are just as beautiful and are in a class of its own.
The Elizabeth and James Loni Lace Up Pumps are $425.00 at ChickDowntown.com.
