If you’ve been watching award shows lately or browsing through fashion magazines to find the perfect shoes to match your new outfit(s), chances are you’ve been looking at the feet of celebrities for foot wear inspiration. Here are some shoe styles that work for every height and outfit, as well as some celebrities that have been spotted wearing foot wear that you’ll love.

Classic tennis shoes or sneakers are really starting to make a comeback, since celebrities are combining alternative rock-style clothing (i.e. plaid patterns and logo tees) with laid-back materials like denim and suede to create a look that is appropriate for a number of events. And, tennis shoes look good on everyone; all you have to do is add your own personal style. Celebrities like Kerry Russell (‘Felicity’), Adam Brody (The ‘OC’) and Orlando Bloom all favor Converse All-Stars to create a clean casual look. These shoes come in a variety of colors, but most celebrities choose black, since it matches with more outfits and can make a casual outfit look much classier.

There are a number of styles to choose from when it comes to evening shoes. If you’re looking for stiletto-style heels, designers like Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik have accessorized many a celebrity foot at formal dinners, award shows, and even weddings. Celebs like Beyonce and Star Jones favor the elegant and understated look or Jimmy Choo shoe selections, while stars like Courtney Cox and Nicolette Sheridan like the daring, decorated look of Manolo Blahnik shoes.

Flats are really big now as well, so if you can’t quite handle wearing heels for long periods of time, the gypsy or bohemian style shoe works well. Celebs like Amerie and Mischa Barton favor this style of shoe, and these flats look great with a dress or jeans.

Keep in mind that you can purchase these shoes styles without spending a whole lot. There are a few designers that create similar styles of evening shoes for you to choose from; check out stores like Marshall’s and Ross for discount name brand shoes that will work for any occasion. While you may look to celebrities for style advice, it wouldn’t hurt to observe a few pictures of stars in your favorite styles, then create a few looks of your own.
