If there's one woman who can rock $311k heels, it's Beyoncé. And she just got her hands on a pair for a new music video, which means we get to watch it happen. 🙌
The stilettos, created by English jewelry purveyor House of Borgezie as part of their Princess Constellation collection, were designed by British designer Christopher Michael Shellis, who offers not a lifetime warrantee, but a *1,000-year* warrantee. (So we guess Blue Ivy's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandaughter will have to report back.)
They're called the "crown jewels of stilettos" and come in either solid platinum or 18-carat gold (you know, in case you're eyeing a pair for yourself), and are decorated with a single blue butterfly.
"If you want someone to model your creations, you can't get any better than Beyoncé," Shellis told the Birmingham Mail.
It's true—and Bey knows it.
