Beyonce steps out in the shoe of the year
A $13,000 price tag hasn't stopped Anthony Vaccarello's glitter boots from Yves Saint Laurent’s A/W’ 17 collection from being the most coveted shoe of 2017.
The latest pair of feet to fill the soles of the 3,000 rhinestone smattered boots is Beyoncé, who wore the boots for a well-heeled return to the limelight.
The Grammy Award-winner who has been topping the charts with unexpected Ed Sheeran duet ‘Perfect’ conducted an impromptu photoshoot with husband Jay-Z in their private jet with the glitter boots taking centre stage.

Sasha Fierce isn’t the only A-list celebrity who has put her own sartorial twist on the fanciful footwear, that acquired a waiting list normally reserved for Hermes Birkin bags when they made their debut on the catwalk in March.
Rihanna nabbed the boots fresh off the runway, pairing the glam rock boots with an over-sized leather jacket and ripped jeans, instantly elevating their exclusive appeal.

Saint Laurent is not the only fashion house to embrace the sparkly trend, Chanel’s space odyssey A/W 17 show featured calf length, silver boots and disco balls descended on the toes of models at Miu Miu.
If you want to get in step with the glitter trend this summer, you can embrace the look by trying a glittery lip or the shimmery eye lid to add some sparkle to your style.
