Any time a celebrity steps out at a red carpet event, one can only assume that she'll be decked out in the most luxurious gown and shoes, all while partaking in photo ops. But Lauren Conrad [1] proved us all wrong this past weekend when she arrived at Paul Mitchell's Baby2Baby Gala.
The Laguna Beach [2] alum attended Saturday night's event wearing a nude Rhea Costa tulle gown that she accessorized with a Cult Gaia clutch bag, Tacori diamond earrings, and a Mio Harutaka snake bracelet. While her look for the night was dreamy, as always, the most stunning part of her ensemble is the detail you can't see in the photos: the surprisingly affordable pair of pumps she wore, which I'm adding to my wardrobe as I write this.
Conrad paired her gown with a pair of strappy, nude pumps from Aldo that retail for $80. The heel — called the Madalene [3] — is a patent leather stiletto with a 5-inch heel and a 1-inch platform. The description on Aldo's website defines the shoe as the "perfect go-to heel for anything from red carpet events to weekend parties," so it's no wonder LC opted for a shoe this simple.
