Jennifer Connelly Rocks Nina Ricci Platform Fetish Booties for InStyle UK

Didn't Anna Wintour say flats are back? Jennifer Connelly is challenging that theory in the October issue of InStyle UK.

The smoldering actress, who is good friends with Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquiere (we're extremely jealous!), gets to play dress up in Balenciaga for the cover of the magazine, the accompanying fashion editorial and the fashion house's ad campaigns, in which she stars.

While the she opts for a Grecian-meets-futuristic draped dress and lace bandeau bralet from Balenciaga's Fall '09 collection for the cover, the inside spread shows a black-clad Connelly in a nouveau Goth getup.

This consists of a loosely knitted Balenciaga dress with a sexy cutout back and shiny gravity defying platform booties by Olivier Theysken for Nina Ricci that are so sky-high, at a towering eight inches, that the heel doesn't even touch the floor!

Think you could walk in these suckers? We'd certainly like to request a sample and try. For the sake of research, of course.

Okay, Franny, it's not NICE to confuse a blonde! Yes, Franny, according to the caption beneath the second photo, and within a paragraph contained in the body of the text, it's stated Jennifer IS wearing Nina Ricci shoes!
The dress IS Balenciaga, the shoes, Nina Ricci by Olivier Theysken.

The shoes are cool. I couldn't wear them.
In my younger days I might have bought them(or some cheap knockoff). I loved my platform heels and wedgies. I have always had a thing for boots. I wear cowboy boots and jeans now most of the time. Hubby is a cowboy.

Of course she cant walk you would have to be a ballerina and walk on tip toes. Thats why she said *I cant walk in these things ..give me a place to lean and balance!* to the photog assistant. yes Peg... most of us love our boots.

How did Jennifer Connelly ever get into the acting business? She is one plain Jane.Nothing even remotely attractive about her. She should try wearing some attractive shoes to make herself look better,not ugly shoes that make her look worse. Not even REMOTELY alluring,this ad.

There are some shoes that don't even look good in a fashion shoot. Do women who wear them at these sessions think that BECAUSE it's a fashion shoot,that they will look somehow HIP? Just awful. NO woman in her right mind would wear them. Obviously,someone paid her (don't know why-I could find a more attractive woman on my street) a lot of money to wear them,so I guess somehow it validates them. But to think that women who see that photo would even THINK about wearing them,is ludicrous and insulting to all women.

You have a point,Karen. Sometimes I think these designers design this stuff as a joke,just to see which fashion-victim idiot will run out and buy it first , usually some lamebrain like Victoria Beckham or Lady Ga Ga. Then they can have a good laugh about how clever they are and how stupid the public is for actually thinking this is fashion.

IWISHED SHE' D GET SOMEONE TO SHAPE THAT GOD AWFUL UNIBROW SHE HAS. Really, if she'd just get it shaped so it looks like a female ( and I don't mean the shave it off, draw it on, thin-line crap either) just a softer feminine brow. The boots are a good lesson in physics- for every action there;s an = reaction, have fun in ER, there are pretty shoes out there, these are quite ugly
