Personally, if I spent four grand on a pair of shoes and, upon receiving them, they were missing a part, I'd be ticked. But that's just practical, boring me. Victoria Beckham, however, actually did this on purpose -- pictured here are the $3600 Antonio Berardi heel-less shoes that now call her overcrowded (and terrifying) closet home.

I mean, isn't this dangerous? The girl is seriously top-heavy to begin with (not even counting her boobs -- her head is like a lollipop!), so who's brilliant idea was it to put her in shoes that don't allow her to put weight on her heels?

Supposedly, the look is meant to be "dainty," like you're constantly walking on your toes. Well, yeah -- that's because you are! Unfortch, Posh doesn't seem to be the only one reeled in by this bad idea. Uma Thurman and Gwyneth Paltrow are also guilty.



Oh, and just in case you're thinking, "They're not that bad -- at least it's something new," I have something to share -- it's not even a new idea! Heel-less shoes have been around for a while, and multiple designers have given the look a shot. There's probably a reason you didn't know that though ... nobody actually wears them. And that's the way it should stay.

The rest of the shoe is cute, though -- she could always glue a pretzel stick (that of course she won't eat) to the back of the shoe if she decides that heel-less heels aren't the way to go, after all.

A lot of responsibility comes with being Gwyneth Paltrow. I mean, she wakes up in the morning tall, blonde, thin, and beautiful, and all she has to do is put on a pretty dress, brush her golden locks, and head out the door. Apparently, it's not that easy. Apparently, when one has all those things in her favor, she feels the need to really mess it all up in order to make her fans feel better about themselves.

At least, that's the ONLY way I can explain this goth and Tyson chicken cutlet-inspired dress from the 2002 Oscars. Yikes. And she looks like she knows it with the apologetic smile and extra slouch. She's lucky she's had so many hits -- I'm willing to let her off the hook for this one. Sort of.
