Gwen Stefani in ballet heels

The ballet boot is a love-it-or-hate-it fetish mainstay, but no one can argue that the footwear doesn't add a real edge to this photo of rock chick Gwen Stefani. Thanks to Deadletter for sending it in.

Rumer Willis in ballet boots

[Updated May 21st 2008 - added another image, thanks to Rik.]

The daughter of superstar parents Demi Moore and Bruce Willis is carving out a career of her own in the movie business. With roles in The Hostage (alongside her father) and the forthcoming The House Bunny, the 19 year old seems set for great things.

I only wish I had more images from this shoot and that the single pic I do have was of better quality. However, thanks to an anonymous Meebo-ite for sending the link in. As usual I'll post any additions on the site if and when I track them down.

Rihanna - Umbrella video

Rihanna has appeared in these pages once before, and I moaned that her photoshoots and videos were always very conservative. Someone must have been listening, because her latest promo is an absolute kinky delight from start to finish. There's something in there for everyone, from silver body paint to ballet shoes, gloves and much more.

Thanks to lmcsp on the forums for the video.

Pink - U + Ur Hand video

Kinky kudos to Maff, who sent in this far superior capture of the Pink 'U + Ur Hand' video today (original entry here). It's quite a hefty download, but worth it for the quality :)

Pink - ballet heels, latex and more (video)

As a follow up to last week's Pink post, here's the video for her 'U + Ure Hand' single. There's some great stuff in here, from stilettoes to latex, gloves to ballet pumps, but I'm afraid the quality isn't perfect. If anyone has a better copy, please get in touch.

Pink - ballet heels and latex bustier

Many thanks to Sebastian for sending in this image of Pink looking very Elvira-esque. Love those ballet shoes!

This is a promo shot from her U + Ur Hand video.

Christina Aguilera - corset and ballet boots

Christina's latest video - 'Hurt' - was posted here a few days ago. I managed to find a couple of high res images from it that showcase those special ballet heels and her lovely corset. Now if only all circus artists looked like that!

I'd also like to take the opportunity of welcoming Esthree as a contributor to the blog. We really 'clicked' in our email conversations and are very much on the same wavelength. I have every confidence that his contributions will be of a high standard and thank him for offering to post here. I hope you'll all make him feel welcome.

Christina Aguilera - Hurt video

[Updated November 8th 2006 - added streaming preview]


Christina Aguilera's new look seems to be a blend of 1920s fashion and modern sexuality. Her new video doesn't disappoint on either front. Although it's a little overwrought, you can't argue against the costumes - Christina in her circus entertainer guise wears a corset and some smashing ballet boots.

Thanks to the eagle-eyed Luiz for bringing this to my attention.

Nigella Lawson in ballet heels

Here's some footwear that's guaranteed not to go mainstream any time soon!

Maff sent these two images in from his own scans and they show UK writer and presenter Nigella Lawson in some super-strict heels. Ballet heels are a true fetish mainstay, so they belong here, but I'd be interested to hear people's opinions; do you think they're sexy or just bizarre?

In any case, many thanks to Maff for introducing the blog to this fashion. By the way, the pics are getting on for 3 MB each, so prepare for a little wait if you're not on a fast Internet pipe!
