Take a look at the feet of any A-lister and it's likely you'll catch a flash of red.
From Victoria Beckham to Lily Allen, the iconic Christian Louboutin red sole has adorned many of the world's most famous feet.
And according to the French designer himself, even the super stylish Duchess of Cambridge has a pair stashed away, gifted to her by none other than Mrs Beckham.
Footwear
fans: Victoria Beckham gave the Duchess of Cambridge a pair of
Christian Louboutin boots, revealed the French footwear designer
'I
know that Victoria Beckham offered her a pair of my boots and she
looked great in them. She's been photographed wearing my boots. She
looked fantastic,' he told The Times.
Victoria,
41, is known for her penchant for sky-high stilettos so it comes as no
surprise that she's one of Louboutin's greatest fans.
However,
sadly for Victoria and his army of A-list fans, Louboutin, who now has
91 standalone shops in 55 countries, admits that he doesn't think about
comfort when designing his heels.
Man of the hour: Christian Louboutin, 51, revealed the information when he was promoting his debut beauty range, which consists of 31 nail varnishes

We couldn't believe this picture either. Victoria Beckham has come a long way, hasn't she? Sartorially, she'd never wear a dress
like this now (it's all her own minimalistic designs), and she has gone
from short blonde bob to long locks a few times over and finally
settled on long now.
But one thing does remain... her love for the red-soled shoe god, Christian Louboutin. Here, Victoria has chosen a statement metallic silver court shoe to add even more oomph to her look.
We hope Victoria kept these heels, because one day when Harper is old enough, she'll definitely want to borrow them. A silver shoe will never go out of fashion. It's like its nude cousin, a wardrobe must.
Teamed with a printed dress like Victoria's they add even more colour, or wear them with an LBD for a pop of interest. You could even go down the Carrie Bradshaw route and rock them with jeans!
As you can imagine, Mrs. Beckham's heels are no longer available, this pictures is years old after all, but check out some alternatives we've found below.

He said: 'The first emotion I want to provoke is: "How beautiful! How sexy!" I don't want people to think: "How comfortable."
'Being
tall can often be a great thing for men and women. I remember a woman
thanking me because she applied for a job wearing my shoes and got it. I
said don't give me the credit - they might have given you some
confidence, but I doubt anyone would give you a job because of your
shoes. I wouldn't.'
That's ironic coming from the man who decided he wanted to start making shoes when he was just 12.
Big
sellers: His shoes are loved by the likes of Amanda Holden, left, and
Hayden Panettiere, and he now has 91 stores across 55 countries
Fast forward to 1991 and he had opened his first shoe shop, with Princess Caroline of Monaco as its first customer.
Clients
such as Diane von Fürstenberg, Blake Lively, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kim
Kardashian followed and Louboutins have gone on to become the most
searched-for shoe on Google.
Clearly
keen to cash in on his success, the 51-year-old, whose shoes can cost
between £480 and £2,000, has just launched his debut beauty range
complete with 31 nail varnishes inspired by his famous shoes.
In
fact, the reason the soles are red are because he 'felt as though
something was missing' when he saw his first prototype shoe and decided
to paint the bottom with his assistant's red nail varnish.
The
Rouge Louboutin, inspired by that original red polish, will be the
first colour to be unveiled on July 24, with 30 more to follow this
summer.
The collection will be available at Harrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and in Christian Louboutin stores.
