And Other Stars' Iconic Footwear PHOTOS
Earlier this month, Emma Watson revealed that she owns only eight pairs of shoes. (Madness.) Granted, for most of us, that's entirely reasonable eight pairs of shoes is more than enough to take you from day to night, and through the weekend. But in the world of celebrity? Where entire homes are built on mountains of footwear, and likely for free? Well, this revelation is shocking.
So with shoes on the brain, we began merging the worlds of celebrity and footwear, mostly to see which brands or styles Emma Watson could campaign for. The answer: endless. But that didn't stop us from compiling a list of actors and musicians who are closely linked with particular designers or shoe types.
Kristen Stewart And ConverseKristen Stewart's affinity for Converse makes sense. Considering the actress is renowned for being herself by maintaining her casual, jeans and a t shirt style (not to mention refusing to put up with out of line questions about her personal life), it'd be surprising if she didn't embrace the iconic brand. Going so far as to wear them on award show red carpets as well as out and about, it's only a matter of time before she designs her own line right? (And if not, Converse, can you make it happen?)
Lady Gaga And PlatformsLady Gaga's shoes aren't for the weak of feet. Whether covered in meat, are seemingly impossible to walk in (see: Alexander McQueen heels from her "Bad Romance" video, or bred 13s for sale any worn to award shows), or defy logic and gravity, the singer has made "weirdest, most intimidating platform shoes" her trademark. Don't try it at home.

Gwen Stefani And Doc MartensYou'd be hard pressed to find another singer as tied into the '90s as Gwen Stefani (minus Courtney Love, whose fashion sense we also adore), so the No Doubt front woman's continued affection for Doc Marten's is arguably bigger than all of us. Surprisingly, she's gotten even closer, since the actress has recently signed on to design a collection for Manolo Blahnik, prompting choruses of "finally!" from every human with a television.

Rihanna And AdidasRihanna rocks the best of both worlds: in one, she's stage ready and heel centric, making best dressed lists after nearly every public event. On the other, she's casual and Adidas clad, favouring high top sneakers and leopard print styles when she's like the song goes living her life. (Thanks, guys.) However, to shake things up, in Cologne, Germany last week, she was seen wearing an Adidas jersey with Air Jordan shoes. Trust us: in grade school, this would've been a much bigger deal.
Beyonc And Christian LouboutinWe all know Beyonc's closet would be one to raid, but her shoe space might take the cake thanks to her love of Christian Louboutin. Not only is the singer consistently seen out in the trademark red soled styles, rumour has it she actually asked the bred 13s 2013 designer to create a pair specifically for daughter Blue Ivy last year. Stars: they're not just like us.

Alexa Chung And Smoking SlippersAlexa Chung helped make clogs happen in 2010, so it's no doubt that the British TV presenter helped usher in smoking slippers earlier this year. Spotted wearing them during the spring in New York and London, and also during Fashion Week, the look only added to Chung's existing trademark for flats (specifically oxfords and loafers). Paired with a dress, with trousers, and with shorts, slippers and flats are arguably the Alexa Chung special.
Kate Bosworth And Isabel MarantWhen a celebrity bred 13s loves a designer, sometimes they really love them. Case in point: Kate Bosworth and Isabel Marant, who go together like us and lists about fashion. Whether wearing leather ankle boots or Marant's high top platform sneakers (that Kelly Oxford often wore, too), Bosworth flew Marant's flag high, making it surprising that the actress hasn't landed a campaign with the designer yet.
Victoria Beckham And StilettosDespite having damaged her feet as a result of high heels, Victoria Beckham continues to live up to her Posh reputation (and legacy) by embracing height and lots of it. From sandals to boots to classic pumps, Beckham reaches new levels literally thanks to heels so tall, thin, and commanding, her balance must be consistently applauded. (She even wore sky high heels while pregnant with daughter Harper Seven Beckham. Now that's dedication.)

"Sex and the City's" Carrie Bradshaw helped draw worldwide attention to Manolo Blahnik, but in addition to the character's shoe obsession, Sarah Jessica Parker has also become linked with the brand. Surprisingly, she's gotten even closer, since the actress has recently signed on to design a collection for Manolo Blahnik, prompting choruses of "finally!" from every human with a television.
