Channel your inner pin-up girl with these stunners inspired by the late, great icon.
We have our fair share of girl crushes — Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone and Jessica Chastain, to name a few — but when it comes to true (beauty) love, there’s one lady we’ve been going steady with for quite some time: Bettie Page.
She was the girl who made you want to dye your hair jet black and cut bangs, or wear something sexy, effortlessly and gracefully, for someone special. She was the epitome of ’50s pin-up glam — and at the receiving end of many, many girl (and boy!) crushes.
So here’s your chance to emulate her confidence and style (without taking any articles of clothing off, mind you). Ellie Shoes offers a line inspired by the late, great fashion icon. Here are five that will give your wardrobe quite the leg up.
Damsel bootie ($90) (Above left)
Trust us when we say you can’t buy confidence at a department store. But while some boots were made for walking, these boots were most definitely made for strutting. Finished with gunmetal buckles, we dare you to not command the spotlight in these. Tip: For an extra edge, pair these bad boys with a fitted leather jacket or blazer … or something a little more, ahem, revealing.
Bettie Page O’Day BootieO’Day Black booties ($55)
Page pulled off heels with enviable ease and elegance. But for those of us with a lower pain tolerance, these 3-inch suede booties look like they could take us around town without any need to call for backup from the flats hiding out in the bottom of our handbags.
Bettie Page Oxford HeelsOxford with Stripes heel ($25.45)
We’re choreographing a burlesque routine in our heads just looking at ’em. Plus, these satin stunners lace up with red ribbon that will coordinate just fine with your red lipstick.
Bettie Page Caroline HeelsCaroline Yellow heels ($63.95)
Do you own anything like these suede 5-inchers ? Didn’t think so. Bonus: The houndstooth detailing and subtle studding means you won’t need layers of additional accessories to put your most fashionable foot forward if you’re rocking these.
Bettie Page Gwendolyn Blue and WhiteGwendolyn heels ($57.95)
Feeling blue? Not in these polka-dotted peep toes that walk (or shall we say sashay?) the line between cute and sexy. We’d wear these to a Fourth of July party, Sunday brunch or somewhere a little more, um, intimate.
Bettie Page Penny FlatsEditor’s Choice: Penny Ballet Flats ($45.85)
Not a heels type of gal? Yahoo! Shopping Editor Krista DeWeese wears a size 11 shoe and these comfy ballet flats are available all the way up to size 12, and are totally perfect for wearing to the office. A must have in BOTH colors!
