Yes, Miranda Kerr’s colorful kicks are open-toe, but the suede upper and bootie shape make them way more winter-appropriate than your strappy sandals. (Plus, they’re one of the few open-toe styles you can wear with tights – yes, really.)

True story: Whenever someone wears menswear-inspired flats like Olivia Palermo’s to the office, all the editors stop what they’re doing to ooh and ahh. They’re unexpected, comfy and with the right outfit, can look formal enough for a party.

STRAPPY HEELS

You don’t have to wear a graphic romper with butt-kicking heels like Brian Atwoods to make a major impact. The edgy, straptastic pumps take care of doing that, even when paired with the most basic ensembles.

We love our riding boots, but there is something so irresistible about a sleek pair of skyscraper knee-highs in camel. January Jones’s Rachel Zoe Collection “Chloe” , $625, are a near-perfect example of how they can look both preppy and sexy.

Yes, animal print can be bold and over-the-top. It can also be lovely and ladylike, as proven by the low-heeled, subtly patterned Loeffler Randall “Tamsin” wears.

Just think of all the fun pedi looks that you could sport with these wedges featuring two-tone straps and a red heel. Solange Knowles pairs them with mixed prints, but we suggest opting for a simple dress that picks up one or two of the colors in the shoe.

London is calling. Answer with these oh-so-British glam boots, which Kate Moss clearly knows are the perfect mix of rocker, fashionista and edgy EastEnder.

We’ve been lusting over these gorgeous Rupert Sanderson peep-toes ($985 ) since we spotted in them a few weeks ago. So we found the look for less – better click to buy before we snap them up first!

BRIGHT BOOTIES

These bombshell red-orange booties, seen on , just went to the top of our fall shopping list. They have as much impact as sexy heels but none of the discomfort (plus, they’ll keep you warm in winter).

This is what style pros mean when they say accessories can make or break a little black dress. Though America Ferrera’s outfit is pretty on its own, her Brian Atwood pumps take the look from cute to can’t-look-away.

Sometimes, two trends in one item can feel like overload. On Diane Kruger’s Loeffler Randall flats, however, the combo of polka dots and a pointy toe makes her shoes twice as nice.

COWBOY BOOTIES

Western boots are totally adorable, but tricky to pull off. Western booties, though, are a little less daunting. We love them as Camila McConaughey wore them – with leather and a trapeze dress – but they’ll work well with tights and a mini.

FANCY HIGH-TOPS

Few girls besides can pull off the sneakers-and-cocktail dress look. But if you’re going to attempt it, make sure to get kicks like her silver-accented Barbara Bui sneaks, which feel high-fashion, not gym-ready.

MAGENTA PUMPS

Pink suede heels, where have you been all our lives? The Rupert Sanderson kicks seen on (as Blair Waldorf) remind us of Barbie shoes in the best way. Skip the Barbie styling, though, and wear them with something sleek and simple to avoid a pageant queen comparison.

NEON HEELS

It takes a lot to draw attention away from a sheer, embellished white dress with a fuzzy peplum, but electric pink Christian Louboutin “Pigalle” stilettos do the trick nicely. Don’t own this outfit? Luckily, these shoes look amazing with everything from jeans to a snug black mini.

What’s sexier than a strappy black heel? A strappy black heel topped off with glam black tassels, like the Rachel Zoe Collection pair seen on Nina Dobrev.

Is your work wardrobe putting you to sleep faster than a three-hour, PowerPoint-heavy meeting? Inject a little spice into your Monday-to-Friday look with these perfectly prim (but still super-sassy) royal blue pumps, as seen on Maria Sharapova.

After putting together a traffic-stopping outfit and an equally head-turning pony, most ladies would be content to settle for unassuming footwear. Not , who sports a pair of $1,195 studded .

We know, we know: You have black flats already. But you probably wear them so much, you could use a second pair. Update the staple with ones like , which feature an on-trend pointed toe and chic metallic embellishments.

Stuart Weitzman “Corkswoon” navy wedges ($375 ), should earn a gold medal for keeping her chic and comfortable throughout the London Olympics, from the torch’s arrival to the equestrian events.

Even if you don’t have legs as long as Alessandra Ambrésio’s (and really, who does?), you can still turn heads in her studded red boots, which feature a killer silver pointy toe.

We know you love flip-flops, but why not up the style ante this weekend by running errands in wedges instead? Selma Blair’s strappy ones makes her romper look too sexy for a lazy Sunday.

Major props to Kristin Davis for resisting the urge to play it safe with nude pumps. The actress chose some wildly unexpected footwear – rose-and-snakeskin wedges – that pop against her bold orange sheath.

is a walking ad for her own ShoeMint line and it’s working! Her sold-out “Bridget” sandals combine three different hues for one seriously stylish shoe.

This hot trend was all over dresses, tops and jewelry, so it only makes sense that it’s migrated to footwear. We love sunny, citrusy pair for being both cute and comfortable, and lending an unexpected bright pop to her otherwise laid-back look.

NEUTRAL WEDGES

A jet-setter like is totally committed to comfort on her transcontinental jaunts, hence her affinity for these Pedro Garcéa “Temple” wedges (on sale for $225 ), which she wore on her way back from Paris. The neutral hue makes the style leg-lengthening, even with the ankle strap.

isn’t just a ShoeMint designer – she’s also a client. Her striped “Christina” flats are adorable with cuffed jeans and would give a fun, funky touch to a solid sundress. The $79.98 shoes are nearly sold out in stripes but are in orange and blue.

RED STRAPPY STILETTOS

Sizzling scarlet + metallic-edged straps + a slender heel = jaw-dropping appeal. Prepare to cause quite a bit of rubber-necking with our look-alike picks. You can play it safe like Malin Akerman (in Christian Louboutin) by wearing them with a high-neck sheath, or pull out all the stops and sport curve-hugging jeggings or a miniskirt.

BEADED SANDALS

Evoke sultry desert nights without also evoking a “souvenir from a tourist trap in Phoenix” vibe by slipping into sexy beaded sandals like Stacy Keibler’s. Subtly borrowing from summer’s hot tribal trend, a sandal with a little beading is flirty (not to mention, way more chic than your ratty old flip-flops).

POINTY WEDGES

Pointy-toe shoes, like Olivia Palermo’s pretty Diors, tend to feel all-business and a bit too severe for warm-weather afternoons. But she elevates and summer-izes the look with contrasting prints that are cute and eye-catching, plus a wedge heel (not often seen on this toe shape).

Sparkly heels can easily veer into prom territory, but demonstrates how to keep them classy, not cheesy. She selects a golden pair that complement (rather than outshine) her embellished dress and goes for a simple style: closed-toe with a rounded point.
