Angelina Jolie Models Louboutin Shoes
Angelina Jolie is one of the most iconic women in the world. She has been in countless movies and modelling photoshoots and last week she attended the movie premiere in London wearing a white Ralph & Russo couture knee-length pencil dress with a ladylike short-sleeved cape over the top. It wasn't a surprising choice because Ralph and Russo is now Angelina's main designer for major events. The legendary shoe designer Christian Louboutin launched an exclusive range of shoes that he designed with Angelina Jolie for her Maleficent promotional tour. The shoes are handmade at Louboutin's Paris atelier and have mesh panels with sculpted heels that look like tendrils of smoke and of course, the French designer's iconic red sole. The shoes have been made in black, white and gold and were all worn by the 38 year-old actress during the promotional tour. However, the styles available to the public will be black and red leather only.
Ralph & Russo is a couture label founded in 2007 by Australian duo Michael Russo and Tamara Ralph. They also made outfits for Beyonce's tour and made Cheryl's wedding dress. Angelina Jolie is their most loyal celebrity wearer though. Last month she wore a dove grey skirt suit by the house to receive her honour from the Queen at Buckingham Palace and it doesn't get much bigger than that. Tamara said to a newspaper about working with Angelina: It’s a real honour and a pleasure to work with her and to count her as one of our leading ladies. The work she does is inspiring and she's a beautiful lady. Michael said that he loves her style because she knows what suits her and she always has a clear vision of what she wants for each event.
Which is their all-time favourite Ralph and Russo look she has worn Tamara told us: We’ve created a number of pieces for Angelina over the years – from the white strapless gown with gold detailing she wore to the premiere to the white tailored dress she wore last night – every piece we’ve created for her is so different but so special to us. These pieces are couture, so a lot of work goes into every Angelina Ralph & Russo modelling look. When we asked how long they spend on each event she said that they work really closely with Angelina on every event to make sure the design, fabric, fit and everything is perfect. To create a Haute Couture piece at least 6 weeks of craftsmanship and handwork is required, she has a distinct style so is always involved throughout.
