Christian Louboutin Fans, Rejoice: Shoe Designer to Launch Beauty Line

May 11, 2012 @ 11:45 am

Christian Louboutin knows how to make a woman look sexy with his red-sole shoes, and now he’s extending that mindset to her beauty routine—today the footwear designer announced plans to launch a line of makeup. “Beauty products also have to do with empowering women,” Louboutin told WWD. “That’s very much the job of the shoes I’m designing.” The line will be in stores by late next year, and we can only guess that a “Louboutin Red” lipstick will be its crowning jewel.

Oscars 2012: Miss Piggy in Zac Posen; Kermit in Brooks Brothers

Feb 26, 2012 @ 9:10 pm

Excusez-moi, Miss Piggy! The Notorious P.I.G. looked fabulous at the 2012 Oscars, thanks to a custom dress by Zac Posen. The Muppet accessorized with Christian Louboutin shoes and Fred Leighton jewelry, including a 70-carat amethyst and diamond ring from the ‘40s, a 55-carat diamond and platinum swirl necklace and a matching 40-carat swirl bracelet, both from the ‘50s. Her hairstylist Kim Kimble, who also works with Beyonce and Kerry Washington, finished off her blowout with a 10-carat diamond clip. Her best accessory, however, was her date—Kermit the Frog, who looked handsome in a Brooks Brothers tuxedo. What a cute couple!

Christian Louboutin’s 20th Anniversary Capsule Collection

Feb 6, 2012 @ 2:30 pm

For two decades Christian Louboutin has been revolutionizing accessories, from his signature red-soled shoes to his delicate luxurious bags. To celebrate his 20th anniversary, the Parisian designer created a capsule collection featuring 20 of his favorite footwear styles and six classic bags. “This capsule is a great way for me to revisit some designs that I’ve been really in love with,” Louboutin told InStyle exclusively. Two of the bags in the lineup are shown here. “There is a lot of body language explained by the shoulder, so I wanted to put accent on the shoulder,” the designer said of why he added colorful feathers to his Artemis bag. He used the same approach for the City of Paris style, which features a crystal-covered landscape of the French city’s most treasured landmarks.  “I wanted it to express a Paris that everyone falls in love with,” Louboutin said of this design. Starting today, you can preview the entire collection on Christian Louboutin’s Facebook page; it will be available for online shopping later this month and land in stores this March.

Perrey Reeves Faked Her Louboutins on Entourage

Dec 20, 2011 @ 12:15 pm

While the world bid adieu to Entourage in 2011, secrets from the show are still coming out. Perry Reeves—who played Mrs. Ari to Jeremy Piven’s Ari Gold—unlocked one from her vault to InStyle.com: She used to fake her Christian Louboutin shoes. “The second season we had a very low budget,” Reeves told us recently. “But Mrs. Ari is a certain kind of character, who would, of course, wear Louboutin. So I painstakingly painted the bottom of shoes with nail polish. She would never wear anything but that, and we wanted to sell it.” And the studio powers that be heard her cries for help. “I remember telling the president of HBO at the premiere, ‘You need to raise the budget. I cannot be painting the bottom of my shoes!,’” she remembered. Luckily, it worked: “As we got more successful, we got the real thing.”
