Jimmy Choo's movie-monikered sandal
Jimmy Choo's Stardust sandal
NEW YORK) Jimmy Choo heels, in addition to being a red carpet staple, have been prominently featured in such films as
In Her Shoes,
The Devil Wears Prada, and
The Holiday in the last year alone. Now
Tamara Mellon is taking the art of branding to the next level, designing a special satin Stardust sandal after the movie of the same name. The shoe, however, plays no visible role in the film. Instead, its creation was inspired by the mythical pendant worn by
Claire Danes, who plays a fallen star transformed into a beautiful girl in the magical fantasy. The actress’s faceted crystal, set on a gold link chain, is reinterpreted as the limited-edition four-inch heel, which will retail for $850 when it debuts at Jimmy Choo boutiques in the U.S. in August and worldwide in October. Directed by Mellon’s friend,
Matthew Vaughn, the film premieres on August 10 and also stars
Sienna Miller,
Michelle Pfeiffer, and
Robert De Niro. “Stardust was a perfect fit since jeweled shoes are a signature look for Jimmy Choo,” said Mellon, who added that the U.S. stores will also feature windows promoting the film in the coming weeks.
