When you are Beyonce you can buy whatever you want - including a pair $345,000 designer heels!
Money proves to be no object for the mom of Blue Ivy, 3. The star makes costly purchases, included a recent home purchase without husband Jay-Z, and these pair of stilettos is one of them.
Footwear News reported that Mrs. Carter purchased a pair of $345,000 stilettos from Birmingham, England, jewelry designer House of Borgezie. Designer Christopher Shellis created the limited edition pair for the "Flawless" singer.
According to Shellis, the shoes took him over two months to make and have more than 1,300 diamonds set in solid 18K gold.
The expensive shoes, which cost so much due to the diamonds being set into the shoe's structure, are rumored to be in an upcoming music video. Shellis only helped fuel this rumor.
“All I can say at the moment is there is a more than very good chance that they are going to be in the next Beyoncé video,” he coyly said.
Shellis is no stranger to producing very pricey shoes. The designer boasts multiple pairs of stilettos on his resume that cost more than $200,000. One of these is the Eternal Borgezie, which is made of pure gold and features 2,200 diamonds. These sell for $230,000. Another pair is the Princess Constellation, which features 1,300 gems and costs $337,000.
Shellis said that the pair he designed for Queen Bey will be named the Stella Constellation and is very similar to the Princess Constellation.
The House of Borgezie is in the Jewelry Quarter of Birmingham and is home to many jewelry makers.
Beyonce has not commented on her recent purchase. After Jay Z bought Beyonce a dragon egg and the star did not make a public comment, fans are unlikely to get a statement about the expensive shoes.
