People love to imitate celebrity fashion, and boots are just one of the many coveted items that the world's favorite style icons are wearing. Celebrities have just as much power as the high-end designers when it comes to fashion. In fact, designers often use celebrities to advertise their latest lines on the red carpet as well as in everyday life. Some celebrities have even decided to design their own footwear lines.
Seven Boot Styles Celebrities Love
Celebrities have been photographed in all types of boots. Some of the styles they sport are a little "out there" for everyday life, but plenty catch on in mainstream fashion. A few of the celebrity boot trends that have really stuck around as favorites among real women include:
Over-the-Knee
From Claudia Schiffer to Taylor Momsen, these boots have been everywhere on all types of women. Some may have been skeptical when they first arrived on the scene, but everyone from housewives to college kids can feel comfortable in them. They've also been seen on Kate Moss and Lindsay Lohan.
- The Steve Madden Hazele style goes over the knee and has a very low heel. It's available in black and brown.
- The GUESS Vale style gives more lift with a 4.5" heel height and is available in black and dark havana (taupe).
Bootie/Shootie/Ankle Boots
These shoes can go with pants or skirts, so there's no wonder celebrities and average women alike love their versatility. They've been spotted on Kate Bosworth, Rachel Bilson, Whitney Port, Nicky Hilton, and more.
- The NaturalSoul by Naturalizer Emma wedge boot promises comfort and will provide versatility.
Sleek Leather, With Heels
Who doesn't love a pair of boots that can do it all, whether it's time to party or concentrate at work? Taylor Swift has been photographed in them, and she's far from alone. These can be any height and still achieve the same effect, from ankle boots to knee-high.
- Keegan high-heel buckle boots have plenty of sex appeal, a skinny heel, and only comes in black.
Prints
There's just something about boots with prints--animal print, especially--that seems a little "wild child" but at the same time, appropriate for a range of situations. Nicole Richie has worn them and so has Rachel Bilson. Jennifer Lopez, Ashley Tisdale, and Jessica Szohr have paired their leopard print booties with everything from dresses to leggings.
- The Rachel Zoe Pamela boot offers a black and white animal print and a 5.5" heel with a 1.5" platform.
Knee-High
Knee-high boots are somewhat of a classic, but not as common as mid-calf boots. These look a little more daring but not quite as attention-grabbing as the over-the-knee or thigh-high styles out there. They can be worn with almost anything. Pippa Middleton, Jessica Simpson, and Nicole Scherzinger also wear them while they're out.
- The Journee collection of knee-high boots is at once classy and in possession of sleek visual interest.
