Celebrity Shoe Roundup: Casadei
Since 1958, Casadei has been creating beautifully designed footwear that has become embraced by A-list celebs and “real people” alike. Pieces from the Italian luxury line can often be seen gracing the red carpet, and it’s no wonder—the shoes are exquisite eye catchers. Here are three of celebrities we love sporting their Casadei favorites.
Lupita Nyong’o in Casadei’s “Blade” Pumps, $740
Always a stunner, Academy-Award-winning Lupita Nyong’o rocked this pair of Casadei “Blade” heels” at the 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards. While they seem like simple, pointy toe pumps, there’s more to these shoes than meets the eye (from what you can see in red carpet photos, at least). Get a close look and check out the laminated silver leather piping, as well as the 4.5-inch, real steal lacquered heel, which boats a subtle silver square at the bottom.
Taylor Swift in Casadei’s “Evening” High-Heeled Sandals, $890
Taylor Swift knows how to show off Casadei’s glamorous “Evening” high-heeled sandals: Just let a leg (and foot) slip through a sexy, long-skirt slit. These Nappa leather sandals stun with their golden hardware and 3.9-inch heel. The zip fastening in the back also offers an additional hardware accent, though they’re not needed here—Taylor works these shoes delicately on the red carpet for the 2014 Vanity Fair Academy Awards Party.
Shailene Woodley in Casadei’s “Evening” Flat Sandals, $530
Shailene Woodley opted for a relaxed, midriff-bearing dress for the 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards, a style that paired perfectly with Casedei’s flat “Evening” sandals. The black leather soles are surrounded by gold trim, while the upper features an intricate gold rope thong, as well as a delicate buckle ankle strap. The “Sailor” décor really gives these summery flats a serious dose of unique style, which is a hallmark of all Casedei-designed shoes, whether they be simple flats or sky-high-heeled sandals.
