We may be calling this article “Most Expensive Women’s Shoes” to complement our previous article on men’s shoes, but make no mistake—these four pairs of high-heeled slippers, three of them by Stuart Weitzman, are also the most expensive shoes in the world.

$1.2 million

Based on their namesake footwear from The Wizard of Oz, these extravagant slippers were designed for the 2003 Oscars. Unfortunately, they were never worn due to the solemn mood of the times. They are studded with 642 Burma rubies weighing in at 123.33 carats. The settings are made of half a pound of platinum. These shoes were made with the help of Oscar Heyman Bros.

Worn by singer Alison Krauss at the 2004 Academy Awards, these shoes were Weitzman’s next pair of fantasy-themed slippers. They are studded with 565 Kwiat diamonds—55 carats of clear diamonds and a single 5-carat gem. Unfortunately, they’re probably not made of glass. They are currently on display in Beverly Hills, California.

Made in conjunction between Stuart Weitzman and the 500-year-old tradition of the Le Vian name, these stunning slippers are made of silver leather set with over 200 carats of precious stones. There are over 185 carats of museum-quality tanzanite gemstones along the ankle bracelets, including the two 16-carat gems hanging from each. Additionally, there are 28 carats of diamonds along the front straps.

$3 million

While the original ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland were made with sequins, these spectacular slippers designed by Ronald Winston of the House of Harry Winston to mark the classic movie’s fiftieth anniversary used real rubies. The slippers include 4,600 rubies totaling 1,350 carats (as well as 50 carats of diamonds) which took craftsman Javiar Barerra two months to set. Made in 1989, the world’s most expensive shoes were still on sale in 2000.

yea, but i don’t think it is the 3 million dollar ones probably the $5 walmart style ones those shoes are worth more then the makings of that movie i will say.. 0_o and the “Stuart Weitzman and Le Vian evening shoes” well i can buy the same ones but the only thing about it they don’t have real ruby’s and diamonds all over them but i can go brag about my fake ruby shoes still…. and say i paid 2 million for theses but really you only paid $25 they were on sale ;) regular $50 ahaha… But i got to say the last pair what was then seance of making them if they are still try to sell 20 years later i think it is a waste of a good perfect 2 months but you never know…

kindly make an auction for those expensive shoes and give them to charity, there are lots of poor people who need support but in fairness to those shoes they looked lovely but not worth it.
