Shoes can make or break an outfit, and make the wearer feel special too, which is probably why these 5 stars are in love with collecting shoes. Some hoard them like art pieces, while others have ran out of space to store their huge shoe collection and say it’s likely you’ll find a pair in the fridge at their house. Blake Lively confesses to being a Christian Louboutin collector who owns a vast collection, while Celine Dion recently compared shoes to drugs!
Blake Lively
Blake Lively says she has an extensive collection of shoes, but she only began to collect when she moved to New York: “I have an entire walk-in closet dedicated to shoes. I think I have maybe 300 pairs. They’re beautiful. I’ve only got four pairs of old shoes – the rest are all pairs I’ve gotten since I’ve been living in New York for the past year and a half.”
Liv Tyler
Liv Tyler says she loves heels because they make her even taller: “I’m obsessed with wearing heels all the time now, these Louboutin heels. They’re really comfortable. I was this tall when I was, I think, 11? So at 11 I was five feet 10 inches and I had size 10 shoes. This came to me like a light bulb recently, like, ‘Why am I so shy when I’m tall?’ and ‘Why do I feel better in flats and Converse?’ ”
Kristin Cavallari
Kristin says she loves shoes and would love to have her own line of designs: “I love clothes, but I’m not a designer. I wouldn’t know what the hell I’m doing. I am obsessed with shoes, so maybe I would do a shoe line one day, but as of right now, I don’t have any plans for any of that stuff. I just feel like everyone is doing it.”
Cheryl Cole
Cheryl Cole recently designed her first shoe line and says she stores them all around her house: “I hoard them all over the house: in cupboards in the kitchen, in the bathroom – every room, there is a big chance when you open the fridge in my house there will be a pair of shoes at the bottom. I’ve always, always loved shoes but over the past few years I’ve definitely developed a proper fetish, I actually own about 2,000 pairs of shoes – and that’s after giving quite a few away. Because I’m quite small, to me getting dressed is all about the heels.”
Celine Dion
Celine compares collection shoes to drug addiction: ”If you have, let’s say, 600 pairs of shoes, you’re considered a freak? I have about 3,000 pairs. Look, some people do drugs, and I buy shoes.”
