For all my Fairy-Tale Brides...

So it looks like the Fairy Godmother has some competition...and his name is Christian Louboutin.

The famed and talented Mr. Louboutin is at it again! He has teamed up with Disney in honor of the diamond edition re-release this fall of the 1950 classic animated film, and taken on the role of "Fairy Godfather" by re-inventing Cinderella's famous slippers.

 

Fit for a princess, the designer gave the glass slipper we all know a bit of a face lift. He opted for white lace and Swarovski-crystal embellishments rather than molded glass.

The magical shoes were premiered during Couture Week in Paris and in addition to the beautiful lace and crystal detailing, features butterfly appliqués and of course, that trademark red sole.

And for those of you brides-to-be wondering how you can get a hold of the Louboutin slippers, well they will not be produced for mass sale and only 20 pairs will be given away worldwide this fall, turning "anyone into modern-day Cinderella," Louboutin says. In the spirit of the fairy tale, the designer will anoint one lucky U.S. fan as his Cinderella and gift her with a free limited-edition pair....Hey! you never know!

(Disney and Louboutin will release details on the giveaway in August)
