Guess Who’s Got Some Fugly Shoes
Can you guess which diva chanteuse was spotted rockin’ a pair of hideously overwrought shoes while performing in concert while on world tour in her home country?
This isn’t someone that we’ve heard much of in recent months so your guesses may not be correct right off the bat. That said, once you find out who it is I don’t think many of y’all will be surprised in the least. After the jump, find out who owns this tragic footwear …
Why, it’s Céline Dion:
She’s certainly no rock rebel, but Celine Dion appeared to be paying just a little nod to bondage style fashion. The Quebec born singer took to the stage in a pair of high-heeled shoes with straps which criss-crossed right to the top of her thighs. It was a look which looked more suitable for the boudoir, as she paired the white strappy shoes with a thigh-skimming white minidress, and huge diamonds which gave the singer a rather racy look . The 40-year-old singer is the latest celebrity to embrace the trend for ‘extreme heels’, which was kick-started by actress Gwyneth Paltrow. But even she would most likely have baulked at Celine’s outré footwear. Celine performed in the outrageous outfit in her native Canada as part of her comeback Taking Chances World Tour.
Céline is no stranger to wearing kooky clothing but I would’ve thought that in her advancing years she’d get the hint that she can’t really make these looks work. Madonna, at age 50, can pull off avant garde outfits … Céline would be better served to stick to shopping at Talbot’s.

Lawlz – I saw her rockin’ this garb in concert in Columbus, Ohio. I actually knew who it was before the jump for once.

These shoes are hot!! And she looks pretty darn good considering she’s 40! Madonna should really start covering up!! Celine can rock on!

The toothpick legs were a dead giveaway. Celine Dion: The Streetwalker Years, FTW!

Based on the first picture, I thought the headline was gonna be “Guess who was caught taking a piss on this wall?”
Srsly, who gives a flying fuck about what shoes anyone is wearing, least of all Celine Dion?

Aren’t those the gladiator sandals from Givenchy?
Roisin Murphy has a pair in black… <_<

wretched.

Um…if she’s gonna wear those stupid looking strappy things, they should at least fit her twiggy legs. They’re all slouchy, and ill fitting.

I also saw her in columbus and i knew who it was without clicking on it…
i thought the shoes were very chic, i loved most of the costume choices from the show (coming from a fellow costumer). Props to the costume designer
