Who are the celebrities who made the shoes they wear become world fashion?

Michael Jackson's Anti-Gravity Shoes

The shoes that Michael Jackson used while dancing in the music video for the song Smooth Criminal in 1988 fascinated the audience as they defied the laws of gravity.

Anti-gravity shoes, which Jackson patented in 1996, could bend at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the ground.

Julia Roberts' Patent Leather Boots, Pretty Woman

Pretty Woman, which was released in 1990, broke box office records and not only made Julia Roberts' name known all over the world, but also introduced high boots into wardrobes.

It is still possible to see the long boots that set the fashion of the period today.

Pigalle

Pigalle, designed by French designer Christian Louboutin, is actually a classic stiletto characterized by thin heels and a red sole. Pigalle, which has become iconic with the use of many famous names, was designed not as an iconic shoe, but as a basic piece that women can use throughout their lives.

Maybe that's why, in addition to the original model, its numerous other versions continue to exist as a shoe model that has moved beyond the red carpet and started to be used in daily life.

Michael J Fox's Nike Sneakers, Back to the Future II

Fans of the Back to the Future series will remember the self-adjusting Nike shoes that Marty McFly wore in the future, using McFly's hoverboard.

This design, named MAG, continues to be an inspiration for many shoe designs.

Sarah Jessica Parker's Manolo Blahnik Shoes, Sex and the City

Sarah Jessica Parker, who is remembered for her role as Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex and the City series, managed to keep the female audience in front of the screen with the many shoe models and clothes she wore both in the series and in the films of the series.

The love of Bradshaw's life, Mr. The blue Manolo Blahnik shoes she wore on the day she married Big continue to be perhaps the first shoe model remembered with the TV series.

Lady Gaga's Armadillo Shoes

Lady Gaga wore Armadillo shoes designed by Alexander McQueen in the video for the song Bad Romance.

In addition to being the last iconic work McQueen designed before his death, the Armadillo shoe model is one of the designs that left a mark in the fashion world as it broke all traditional patterns in shoe design.

Some of the Armadillo shoes, of which only 21 were produced, are exhibited in various museums today.
