Beyoncé's Heels Are So Damn Sexy, We Got Them in Formation For Ya
Beyoncé has so many memorable looks, it's tough to even narrow it down to a top 10. But her 2018 appearances in particular have made us realize one thing: Bey's wardrobe has always been grounded in really great shoes. Most of the time, she ups the wow factor of her look with mind-blowing heels (remember that Saint Laurent pair with the costume-like feathers?).
And when she's on vacation, Beyoncé skips the sandals for superstar-worthy platforms and PVC mules. Bey gave us quite a performance in these stilettos and lace-ups, did she not? We backtracked on some of her most striking street style moments and zoomed in on the singer's footwear, providing you with similar options to shop if you've got bold taste.
