Becki Newton was spotted with her hubby (Chris Diamantopoulos) at LAX last July 6 and the ex-Ugly Betty star was all sweet and lovey dovey with her husband while waiting for their ride.

Well, she does have a lot to smile and be sweet about. She’s expecting and she has a new show called Love Bites.

That aside, the pair on her feet was what caught most of my attention. The pieces she wore for travel were actually very simple, but together, they looked harmonious. I love the printed top underneath the jean jacket and scarf; even her bag choice and bangles were worth complimenting. But what really carried the whole outfit were her sandals. It was the final touch that completed the look; the dot at the end of the sentence.

Here’s a zoom view of the pair:

From the front, they look more like booties because of the extra wide T. But up close you can see the straps on the sides. Obviously what makes this one very distinct is the zipper feature.

I don’t know who made these yet, but I did find similar styles you might be interested in:

You know when shoes are fresh when its sizes are complete and in stock. That’s how I check which ones are new at Shopbop.com. The designer goods there get snagged easily so the sizes usually end up broken after a short while.

Now among its new arrivals, we’ve picked out these stylish and very in-the-moment sandals for you to muse over (and shop for!).

These come in small women’s size 5 or 6 all the way through large women’s size 10, so the possibility of experiencing frustration and disappointment when you realize it doesn’t come in your size will be very slim.

Actress Halle Berry has been spotted more often recently. Last month, she was seen buying a Radio Flyer Tricycle for her daughter’s birthday; and just  a few days ago, she was spotting visiting some friends in LA.

In both occasions, she kept it comfy, straightforward, simple, and sexy by wearing a pair of t-strap thong sandals.

The pair on her may seem ordinary, but it is a classic and will never go out of style. It has a more universal appeal compared to the traditional gladiator design, and definitely easier to match with as well.

For example, in the first picture, Halle wore the sandals with a more casual outfit – plain tee and cargo pants. But in the second picture, she paired it with something a little more dressed up – black leggings and a multicolored chiffon top.

Because these shoes  are multipurpose, having at least one pair  in your closet is a must. The good thing is it isn’t hard to find. Check out the following t-strap thong sandals from Shopbop.com:

Oscar award winning actress Marion Cotillard has not disappointed fashion critics so far. Her red carpet choices have been well received and seem to have constantly hit the approval mark.

She attended the 2010 Golden Globe Awards last January 17 in a long green gown by Christian Dior and walked her way through the red carpet in some exquisite Jimmy Choo “Drake” Water Snake Sandals.

The green Dior dress was lovely and flattering on her (although I personally didn’t like the lacy slip that peeked out each time her gown’s front skirt parted) but what caught more of my attention were the gladiator sandals on her feet.

Jimmy Choo “Drake” Water Snake Sandals, US$1195

The Jimmy Choo “Drake” Water Snake Sandals are made of snake skin leather with green glitter finish. The cut out details and gold hardware create such a unique appeal that celebrities and shoe lovers alike go gaga over it.

If you want a pair of Jimmy Choo “Drake” Water Snake Sandals, be ready to spend US$1195, because that’s the price tag of these sandals.
