At the amFAR gala in Cannes last night, all eyes were not on Polish model Anja Rubik's never-ending, honey-coloured bambi-esque legs, but her jewel encrusted stilettos.
Designed by the Italian shoe maverick Giuseppe Zanotti, of whom the 25-year-old is the 'face', the shoes were, even by the glitzy standards of the Cannes Film Festival, certainly not just another expensive accessory. Made in conjunction with Chopard, the Swiss 'jeweller to the stars', the pink satin sandals with dizzying 12.5cm heels comprised no less than 600 briolette-cut stones, including rubellites, pink sapphires, diamonds and rubies set on rose gold adorn the ankle strap.
