Jimmy Choo Uggs Photo - Thanks, Nicky Hilton!

Star power. Nicky Hilton posts pic of Jimmy Choo UGG boot. Photo: Nicky Hilton/Twitter

We first told you about the unlikely pairing of haute footwear house Jimmy Choo and the oft groaned about brand UGG Australia back in January.

And although the curiosity-inducing collaboration is not supposed to hit stores until October, socialite Nicky Hilton seems to have gotten her hands on a pair and innocently posted an image of the boots on her Twitter page.

Under the title "Love my new Jimmy Choo Uggs!" Hilton reveals a pair of boots that appear to be black and are covered in star-shaped silver studs with fringe dealing on the fold-over top.

The "Chugg" boots (as they've been endearingly dubbed by members of the fashion industry) will be a part of the brands' capsule collection, which was born out of Choo president Tamara Mellon's love for the sheepskin style.

"Other than Jimmy Choos, UGG Australia is the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe," Mellon, who is rumored to be selling her brand, said in a quizzical statement at the time.

While Hilton most likely got her pair gratis, we commoners will have to fork over $595-$795 for the boots, which will come in five styles and multiple hues.

Based on Hilton's sneak preview, are you digging the new collection or do you think they as UGGly as their predecessors? Let us know in a comment.

In the meantime, check out Choo's collaboration with chic wellie maker Hunter.

Yep, a common pair of Uggs and a bedazzler = these tacky 'designer' boots. Maybe for my 6 year old, not for an adult! But they'll throw them out there on the market to see how many fashion victims will nibble.

After these come out on the market, I can see knock-offs at a more reasonable price...I will betcha Payless Shoes will bring out some just like it, but certainly not at $600...

I love my Uggs...I love them so much, that I actually wore out the fur footbed, and placed my orthodics inside, so I can wear them longer..

yep...they can be made with a regular pair of UGGs and a be-dazzler...who in their right mind, paris hilton excluded of course, would spend close to $800.00 on uggs...come on...don't get me wrong..Uggs are the best,most comfortable and sexy looking snow boots available...BUT $800.00 !!!!!!!!!

those are adorable! if i had the money i'd definitely get them, especially if they came in pink! Uggs are fantastic. all the people that hate them don't know what they're missing. i have 4 pairs and my first pair is six years old and still in fantastic shape.

When the title said Jimmy Choo Uggs, I didn't know what to expect. I really didn't think that a new and better twist could be put on Uggs. Instead, the product is really interesting and lot more intrigueing than regular uggs. The fringed cuff and the metal detail give it a much more updated look. Congrats Tamara Mellon on job well done.

They look like childrens boots from Wal-Mart. The price tag is ridiculous and for people to waste so much money on them is disgusting.

Well, at least, the name is right. UGGS just about sums the whole thing up in one word. Go to Walmart and buy a simple, functional pair and donate the other $500 - $700 to charity.

I don't get the "fashion" in Uggs. They look like high top house shoes, and Nicky's look like a craft project.

I work in the fashion industry..And I say UGHHH on any woman over the age 25 wearing UGHs unless it is winter and have snow. They look like a utility boot not fashion now matter how much bling you put on them!!! In Miami I see older women wearing them with shorts its real tacky! Same with the rainboot fad! Unless its raining women over 16 should not wear them as a fashion statment.

Does anyone-- besides Eskimos or Siberians-- actually buy those ugly boots? By the way, I have a Bridge to Nowhere that I'd also like to sell to you.

I swear these look just like boots in the Miley Cyrus line in walmart, except the walmart ones are under 50 dollars. Definitely a waste of money buying them from Ugg.

noooo.i disagree with juli that women over 25 should not have UGGs..i'm 47 and a size 7/8 and i wear mine with a pair of really faded tight jeans tucked in to them and a crisp white tee shirt and it definately looks good!!! not only are they somehow sexy looking THEY ARE THE MOST COMFORTABLE THINGS YOU HAVE EVER WORN ON YOUR FEET.....
