Prince @ V&A Golden Age of Couture Gala, Sept 2007

This picture is from last year, but when I saw it today, I immediately zoomed into the Versace pumps in the front...followed by Prince's heels, then the ashy knees in the back. But back to the Versace pumps. These shoes were definitely the highlight of my day. They have been all over Project Runway this season, which is probably why I can't find them. They were at Bluefly...

Versace black patent leather mary-jane pumps
Color: Black / Palladium • Glossy patent leather upper • Softly pointed toe • Side cut-out detail • Ankle strap with button closure • Leather lining • Leather sole • Silvertone plating at back of heel • 4¼'' covered heel ace mary-jane • Leather • Made in Italy

But are no longer available. These are these at ShoeMall...

Bobbi Blu Women's Gail Pump
Patent leather upper • Terry cloth lining • Cushioned insole • Rubber sole • 3-1/8" patent leather-wrapped heel • Adjustable buckle closure

But they just aren't the same. It is all about the sidecut and heel.
