Heidi Klum, what are those shoes, seriously, they may be cool with a pair of skinny jeans but they have completely ruined that lovely dress. This is the outfit Heidi wore for the Golden Globes awards. 

Heidi is one of the most gorgeous women out there, and a source of inspiration to women who insist that motherhood need not lead to asexual frumpery. And she was so close to being a total win in the hot mums department  last night…

But then she put on those shoes – too small, plastic-looking and entirely inappropriate for her outfit – a pretty floaty dress like that should be worn with elegant kitten heels or cute flat pumps, not stripper style plastic shoes, and surely they were far from comfortable! The dress is lovely, the flower is a little overpowering but nothing compared to those awful shoes!
