The first celebrity I ever saw in a pair of gladiator sandals was Gwyneth Paltrow, and that was ages ago back when the gladiator trend was only starting.
I figured I should write about her given she was actually one of the pioneer celebs seen wearing these sandals, and she seems to have an ongoing love affair with it until today.
Her latest fascination? A pair of exquisite Emilio Puccis. The stylish actress and mother was spotted wearing it twice, in two different events:
Gwyneth Paltrow
2nd Bent on Learning Benefit
Gwyneth Paltrow
(While promoting Iron Man 2 in the Late Show with David Letterman)
The sandals are exquisite, no doubt. But what makes it a stand out is how Gwyneth wore it. Or what she wore it with to be exact.
The shorts and silk blouse ensemble is simple and easy, yet very sexy. It showed off her gorgeous gams and made the sandals stand out. The same goes for the gold structured mini dress.
If you have gams like Gwyneth’s, then you’re at liberty to copy Gwyneth’s sexy short style. Of course, the Emilio Puccis might be a little too much for some of you so if you don’t have the cash to splurge on a pair, go for these close alternatives instead:
