Mendel’s Kick Off Celebration of Golden Globe Week 2011 on January 9, 2011 at Cecconi’s Restaurant in Los Angeles, California. Take a look:

The One Tree Hill star showed up for the event pairing her Manolo Blahnik heels with an Oliver Tolentino cream ruffled organza cocktail dress. She added an ivory Judith Leiber clutch and Neil Lane opal, gold and diamond earrings to finish her glamorous look.

Now on to Sophia’s blue satin pumps, which you might find familiar.

Do you remember seeing them before? They’re nothing out of the ordinary so several possible instances might come to mind, but they’re actually Carrie Bradshaw’s wedding shoes in the Sex and the City movie. Here’s another view:

With their classic design and crystal toes, they’re perfect for formal occasions. I like how she brought attention to them with her neutral-hued dress. The ruffled concoction and the sleek satin pumps go together nicely.

Sophia Bush’s Manolo Blahnik Something Blue Satin Pumps are available at BergdorfGoodman.com for $945.00. If you’re looking for less expensive options, then you might consider giving these equally beautiful satin pumps from Endless.com a try:

The bouncy blond hair, the short dress, the platform wedges – the only thing missing is a splash of colorful print and we’d expect her to burst into song with her five siblings.

The platform wedge shoe is a 70s trend that has endured nearly over four decades and for good reason: it adds height, it actually lets you walk and it’s a fun and sexy style. It’s a shoe that adds more sway to your step but isn’t as “come-hither” as a stiletto. It’s a style that a wider range of women are willing to try and because it supports the entire foot from toe to heel, you can walk in them all day without worrying about aching feet.

The stunning Quiana Wedge from Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson’s shoe collection is a throw back to the 70s platform wedge:

Quiana Wedge in tan by Fergie

You can picture Marcia Brady wearing them, no? The 4-inch platform in a cork finish makes them even more retro.

The Quiana Wedge is also similar to Kristin Cavallari’s, except this shoe features a more intricate lattice design and double ankle straps. You can get these lovely platform wedges at heels.com for $88.99. Shipping is free. If you’d like a different color other than tan, heels.com not only has them in black and gold but is also selling them at $80.09 and $71.19 respectively.
