Glamourous Evening Shoes at Bargain Prices

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

We all want evening shoes that sparkle, shine and help us make an entrance, but not all of us have a fortune to spend on them.

With some styles costing as little as $20, and all the shoes on this list priced under $100, these bargain picks in women's evening shoes will have you looking like a million bucks without breaking the bank.

1. Nina "Peppino" - Modern & Pretty T-Straps

Ringing up at around $80, and decorated with jumbo square gems, these sexy t-straps will make you long for an occasion to wear them, and they're one of Nina's best offerings of the seasons. With 3.25" heels and synthetic metallic uppers, these evening shoes come in silver, gold, pink or light blue.

2. Johnathan Kayne "Maui" - Super-Sexy Swarovski Stilettos

Loaded with genuine Swarovski crystals, these strappy sandals aren't for the faint of heart. In addition to all the shimmer, they have heels of 3.75 inches, loads of skimpy straps and dangly crystal embellishments that make them look much more expensive than their $90 price tag. Also available in silver.

3. Nina Shoes - Evening Pumps with Rhinestone Embellishments

In a word, these open-toed pumps are eye-catching. Simple and classic in design, the rhinestone and faux pearl embellishments provide just enough splash to get attention without being over the top, and the 2.5" covered kitten heel rounds out the package. Versatile enough to wear with everything from evening pants to gowns, these shoes come in grape, steel or black.

4. Hollywould "Grace" - Back-Bowed Peep-Toe Pumps

For a sophisticated evening shoe, you can't go wrong with these peep-toed stunners. Available in pink or red satin, the heel bows make these gorgeous pumps totally irresistible, but what makes them even more irresistible is the $30 price tag.

5. "Lady Luck Electro" -- 20 Dollar Evening Shoes

With satin uppers, patent gold piping, 3.5" gold heels and sexy side bows, I'd love these shoes at any price. But at right around $20, it would be difficult to find a more elegant evening shoe at a more affordable price.

6. Luichiny "Krystal" - Sexy Ankle Straps

Loaded with old school glam, the "Krystal" is a sexy stiletto with a 3.5" heel. The double ankle straps are incredibly hot, and while the rose embellishment may be over the top for some, it's perfect for evenings when you want to get noticed. I picked the smoking hot red, but these shoes look great in black as well.

7. Coloriffics Shoes -- Low-Heeled Evening Shoes

There's a lot to love about these Coloriffics shoes: the rhinestone ankle straps, the heel bows, and the satin uppers all rock. But my favorite thing about these pretty evening shoes is that they have heels of only 1.5 inches. Which makes them wearable as well as affordable. Available in ivory, white, silver or black, these sandals come in at just under $65.
