Carrie Bradshaw made Manolo Blahnik a household name, and judging from the hotness of each and every one of his shoes, we're not complaining! Take these beautiful 4 inch stunners for example. The shiny gold metallic material oozes glamor, while the criss cross peep toe straps ensure just enough naughtiness without showing off all the goods (this applies to more than just your shoes, ladies!) They are pricey at $665, but we've managed to find a couple lookalikes that come pretty darn close without breaking the bank.
