If you've got a special occasion or holiday parties to attend, you'll need the right party shoes. These top picks will sparkle and shine with every step you take -- in fact, they'll likely be the best decoration at any affair you attend.
From galas to openings, Christmas to Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa to New Year's, the holidays and other special occasions can be hectic, but any excuse to shop for evening shoes is a good thing.
So grab a cup of joe or a glass of wine, and read about these show-stopping shoes, and see more in the Evening Shoes Image Gallery.
Some of the most stunning shoes I've ever seen, these strappy sandals feature skimpy ankle straps, linked loop t-straps, and unique vamp straps -- all of which are encrusted with glittering rhinestones. The black silk version is the most subtle, while the silver and gold metallic versions are extremely sparkly. I'd be hard-pressed to choose a favorite.
Combining classic details and contemporary form, these pretty pumps have so many features that add to their sex appeal: silky satin uppers, partially concealed platform soles, and 4" stiletto heels. But what really makes these stunners the ideal "party shoes" is the bowed vamps topped with large rhinestone embellishments. Available in classic black or knockout red, these shoes will make an entrance.
Ideal for adding a glamour to slacks or a suit, these gorgeous mules feature wearable heels of only 2.5 inches. Absolutely encrusted with an elaborate sequined design, these shoes are available in black or silver, and will make any occasion a special one.
These gold shoes don't have any sparkly embellishments, so in that respect, they're one of the more subtle styles on the list -- yet there is nothing inconspicuous about them. Sexy d'Orsay styling, metallic gold leather uppers, open toes and heels of 4.25 inches all add up to make these the ideal party shoes.
No matter how glamorous the party, or well-dressed the crowd, I guarantee you will steal the show in these fabulously ornate evening shoes from Stuart Weitzman. With black or ruby satin uppers and large vamp rosettes that are absolutely teeming with Swarovski crystals, these shoes have 4" heels.
