Who needs an iron suit when you've got Christian Loubutins?




I saw Iron Man last night. It was awesome, as expected. But one of the best parts of the movie to me was Gwyneth Paltrow's turn as billionaire munitions czar Tony Stark's loyal, efficient, brainy-without-being-dorky assistant, Pepper Potts. She's not the obvious choice for a huge summer action comic book-inspired blockbuster, but she was great. And her wardrobe? Perfection. Pencil skirts, fitted tops (Gwyneth with subtle cleavage? It totally worked.), and some of the most amazing shoes (Louboutins, most of them). And everything was black, save for the dangerously low-backed, silk charmeuse, periwinkle blue number she wore in the scene where her boss realizes she's not just assistant material. Some of my favorite scenes include Pepper traipsing through rubble in 4-inch heels, helping Tony Stark/Iron Man save the world. Proof that behind every great man is great women...in a pair of super hot shoes.
