Even though we know our readers appreciate it when we feature everyday and wearable shoes, sometimes it’s nice to step away from the Jimmy Choo pumps and Valentino sandals to feature something a little more fun.
Dita Von Teese was spotted wearing some burlesque-worthy heels last week at a promotional event for her new perfume.

Dita arrived at the event in an all-black look full of sheer panels, polka dots and ruffles.

Marilyn Manson’s ex wore a vintage Thierry Mugler dress over a pair of sheer polka-dotted stockings.
She styled her eccentric look with a pair of black patent Christian Louboutin heels that featured pointed toes and ruffles across the front.

While the red soles indicate that these heels are definitely Louboutins, we couldn’t find these shoes in the designer’s current (FW2012) collection, and these shoes don’t seem to be part of the Spring 2013 lineup either.
We assume these heels are either from a previous Louboutin collection, a pair that was custom-made especially for her, or simply an upcoming limited edition style that we aren’t aware of yet.

We did manage to unearth a checkered ruffled slingback from Louboutin’s Spring 2013 collection that comes with the same flirty and feminine style:

On a side note, if you want something similar to Dita’s ruffled Louboutins but don’t want to spend too much, try a pair of ruffled suede pumps from Steve Madden instead. You can steal Dita’s look by wearing your shoes with polka-dotted stockings and a little black dress:
