Charlize Theron, attending the Hancock movie premiere in Berlin strutted the red carpet in Christian Dior ankle-high bootie-stilettos.

The NBA-champion Boston Celtics won the team award at the 16th annual ESPY Awards in Los Angeles last night. The Celtics won an unprecedented 17th title in June with a victory over the LA Lakers. A-List celebs turned out in droves for this splashy red carpet. Red carpet whore Zac Efron was quick to “huddle” up to David Beckham in one of the best photo ops of the night. We’re sure Perez blew a load at the sight of the pretty boy he’s affectionately dubbed “Zacquisha” in print.

Justin’s girlfriend Jessica Biel puzzled ShoeMinx with this “Are You Hiding A Hickey?” ensemble. This is not Jessica at her toe-cleavage bearing best.

Fergie was working the red carpet with a pair of interesting medallion-embossed T-strap sandals. When spotted by ShoeMinx, Fergie often looks like she’s itching to pee. Looks like she had her bathroom breaks all sorted last night…

Then the stunning Sophia Bush rolled in and stole the spotlight in this gorgeous chocolate silk dress and peep-toe pumps.

Kobe Who? Adriana Lima made us all forget about the Celtics and the Lakers when she appeared in a smokin’ black mini-dress and platform T-strap pumps by Yves St. Laurent. That is one hot woman.

ShoeMinx would have to hand the best shoes of the ESPY Awards to Kate Walsh. Can anyone guess who designed these “Cinderella” sandals? Stay Tuned to ShoeMinx, we’ll do a follow up post on the weekend.

Evangeline Lilly stars in the movie, Afterwards, with John Malkovich and Romain Duris. The supernatural thriller is directed by Gilles Bourdos and was shot in Montreal and New York. The stunning Lost beauty walked the carpet and settled in to enjoy cocktails at Greenhouse @ 99 Sudbury. Orchestrated by the same brain trust behind NY celebrity hot spots Home and Guest House, Greenhouse is the hotly anticipated eco-friendly club concept that will put green nightlife on the map in the Big Apple.

Greenhouse, priding itself on being a forward-thinking company, has made a huge impact on celebrity enthusiasts and supporters. Models Carmen Kass and Jessica Stam drew attention to this ground-breaking idea in nightlife by hosting a party at Paris Fashion Week, which drew A-list stars like Bruce Willis and Mary-Kate Olsen. Greenhouse’s TIFF presence continues the popularity and gravitas of this “on message” concept as Afterwards director Gilles Bourdos and new hottie on the scene and Lilly’s co-star Romain Duris entertained industry elite on 99 Sudbury’s stunning terrace. At the rate this message is spreading, we won’t be surprised if Obama himself doesn’t cut the red ribbon at Greenhouse’s upcoming opening in New York.

Guests enjoyed premium spirits in the form of eco-luxury vodka brand 360 Vodka. The Missouri-based company uses locally grown grains resulting in reduced fossil fuel consumption in transporting raw materials to the distillery. The company also uses a variety of advanced filtration and drying processes which reduces their overall carbon footprint. Perhaps most innovative is the box their vodka is shipped in. The shipping box is made of 100% recycled cardboard and is designed to be re-used by consumers.

Forget the cold sweat and toxicity of the ol’ frathouse standby Iceberg (Yech) and RedBull. The new drink of choice for health-conscious celebs is 360 and Vitaminwater. We recommend the combo of 360 Vodka and Power-C Vitaminwater. The Greenhouse @ 99 Sudbury bartenders, ever up on the lingo, actually smile when you say “360 and Power-C”. We like!

With smart advertising, sleek bottle designs and a huge variety of flavors with hip, lowercase names - “endurance,” “power-c” and “vital-t” - this is a healthy alternative to the crowded field of nutritionally dubious “energy drinks”. Even 50 Cent sponsors the drinks with his own flavor, “formula 50,” and celebs such as Kelly Clarkson and Shaquille O’Neal also promote Vitaminwater.

When the sexy-as-all-hell Leigh Lazark of the The Misshapes started her DJ set, all bets were off. The TIFF Utopia known as Greenhouse @ 99 Sudbury became social ground zero - eco-elevated nightlife, good vibes, a coltish crowd and sinuous tunes to groove to.

What trumps DJ Samantha Ronson as the “must-have” French Riviera accessory?

A pair of sky high, peep toe gold pumps!

At Sean Combs’ annual Cannes Yacht party, Lindsay Lohan “rehabilitates” a tacky gold tutu dress by rocking it out with a sweet pair of pumps.

You Heard it Here First: Legendary fashion designer Valentino officially announced last night that he plans to start designing costumes for opera and ballet.

The documentary about his career and relationship with Giancarlo Giammetti had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last night. Once the credits started to roll, the standing ovation began, lasting until the screen went black. In a brief question period with director Matthew Tyrnauer, Valentino expressed his gratitude to the audience.

“I have had standing ovations before but never like this one,” he said. “I liked the film better in here than every other time I’ve seen it.”

Being in front cameras isn’t exactly new to iconic designer Valentino - he did have a cameo in The Devil Wears Prada, after all - but with this new documentary that’s all about him, the taste-maker is now the star of the show.

TheDailyPump.com had the pleasure of hosting the official premiere party of Valentino: The Last Emperor at Greenhouse at 99 Sudbury. Model Monika Schnarre glamed up our step and repeat board in strappy gold Valentino sandals. Fashion Television host Jeanne Beker looked fabulous in a killer pair of Valentino platform pumps.

FT’s Glen Baxter worked the mic for great red carpet sound bytes from Valentino. Inside the party, Louche modern day dandies mingled with pretty girls in fanciful hats; champagne and dangerously delicious “Valentini” cocktails circulated a spectacularly turned out VIP room. The combination of a strong cinematic line up, impressive musical talent, gorgeous clientele, sumptuous catering and a stunning urban oasis setting establishes Greenhouse at 99 Sudbury as the hottest venue in town.

The party delivered a unique blend of glamour, style and hedonism under a stunning starry night, played out against a Utopian backdrop of evergreen trees and alcoves of intimate cloisters. New York legal impresario Steven Beer, partner at Greenberg Taurig, dropped in with David Dinerstein of Lakeshore Films. Eagle Vs. Shark producer Emanuel Michael, President of Unison Films, rounds out this photo op with Si Si Penaloza, Editorial Director of TheDailyPump.com.

What, No Product to Pimp in Some Crazy Getup? We Almost Didn’t Recognize You!

Believe it or not, this is the best glamour girl Katie “Famewhore” Price has looked in forever.  There’s no migraine-inducing pink, visible boob or threat of an accidentally-on-purpose flash of her business.  Based on those sub-par standards, this is a wee sartorial success.  Like if Lindsay Lohan wore pants instead of leggings for even a second.  WE GET IT LINDS.  You are a walking billboard for your line of ridiculously overpriced leg coverings.  Just because you put them on one leg at a time doesn’t qualify them as pants, you know.  Anyhoo.

On the other hand, Katie’s leopard leggings are eerily reminiscent of Aunt Lill down in Boca smoking  unfiltered cigarettes, drinking a little afternoon pick me up of gin and juice.  What?  Like your family is so perfect.  And paired with boots that put the “ug” in fugly?  While we give a point to Katie for putting the girls away, she loses approximately 100,000 points for the hideous footwear.  A cute ankle boot or a tall riding-style boot (no, not the pink ones from your equestrian line, Jordan), like these by Franco Sarto, would have been a HUGE improvement.

Does anyone know when Katie’s visa expires and she’s recalled back to England?  Between Paris Hilton, Bai Ling, Phoebe Price and the entire Kardashian clan, we’ve got more than our fair share of premiere seat fillers on this side of the pond already, thank you very much.

Pint-Size Designer’s Leave An Even Bigger Fashion Footprint

Tiny twosome Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have teased us for months with news of their first-ever shoe collection, a collaboration with Steve Madden.  “Design aesthetic” this.  “Style philosophy” that.  Yeah, yeah show us something, already!

Mary-Kate gave us a taste of their designs when she sported a promising prototype (try saying that three times fast) at Fashion Week.  It was cute with a hint of the unexpected, just what you’d expect from the blonde titan who regularly outfits herself like a slightly mad Himalayan Sherpa just to grab a venti latte at Starbucks.

So, behold.  Their Elizabeth and James shoe collection hit stores recently and we are . . . under-whelmed.  Objectively it’s fine.  It’s a mix of trendy and traditional silhouettes at a relatively reasonable price ($195 to $500).  Well, reasonable compared to three-digit couture, anyway.

We had high hopes for a “oooh, pretty!” inhale.  But instead of a Alexander McQueen-esque edge meets Betsey Johnson WTF-ness, the line is a bit “hmmm, where have I seen that style before?”

Take a gander:

Mary-Kate’s been spotted rocking these suede flat gladiators so they’re definitely downtown-darling approved but they’re also the newest residents of Meh-ville, in our humble opinion.

And these menswear-inspired moccasins.  MOCCASINS.  The word alone offends us, never mind what they look like.

The look are missing something: like, a slew of buckles and  zippers and cutout details.   And . . . feathers.  Yeah, that would have been AWESOME.  Or at least visually interesting.  It’s as if deciding which over-sized layer to mix and match with which bedraggled, too-long pair of pants zapped Mary-Kate and Ash of all their creative energy.

That said, some looks did catch our eye:

What size queen couldn’t use four extra inches of fabulous? We j’adore the ‘Haley’ slingback strap and the sexy arch of naked foot these reveal.

And if you’re drooling over the season’s fetish footwear look, but aren’t ready to fork over big bucks for shoes like Louboutin’s ‘Differa,  ‘Luella’ is a brilliant alternative.

Word is, the Olsens will stick with Steve Madden for another shoe collection next season.

Are over-the-knee boots on the way??

Sleek, sexy and sky-high.  Make a statement without saying a word in these BCBG slingbacks.
