It seems like you can’t just act or sing to be truly successful anymore. Sure, you do one of those to get famous, but to stay productive, you have to go into some sort of business. If there’s one thing I’m sick of, it’s everyone and her sister having a fragrance. But if it’s not a fragrance, it’s clothes, or bags, or lingerie, or makeup, or, of course, shoes. But just like singers who try to act and actors who try to sing, sometimes the result is a smash, sometimes it’s a disaster. Some celebs actually do have that fashion forward eye and know good shoes. Others should stick to letting their stylists dress them, let alone trying to dress us and our feet.
Jessica Simpson

$51.76 at Overstock.com
Surprisingly, since little else she does is even slightly conscious of her surroundings, Jessica Simpson’s shoe line is smart and stylish. Her pumps are elegant and fun, and she seems to know the right balance between trend and timeless to give girls a lasting, hot shoe at a good price point.
Elizabeth and James

$325.00 at Saks.com
It really pains me to say this, but Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have come a long from pigtails and overalls. Their clothing and shoe line is high fashion, urban sophisticate, edgy, quality style. The styles are often monochrome and sleek with some embellishment to edge it out a bit and build a trend factor.
Paris Hilton

$93.00 at Zappos
I’m not quite sure what gave Paris Hilton the idea she knows fashion. She sort of dresses just obliviously to time and trend, and yet the result isn’t timeless, it’s just…Barbie. Random bows, too much glitter and shimmer, her looks are clubby and over the top tea party. And her shoe line is just as scatterbrained and style-less.
Fergie

$63.20 at FergieShoes.com
Fergie is somewhere in the middle. Her line is hit or miss. Some of her shoes are on trend and have a lasting look. Others are too trendy and not worth the time and attention. Others haven’t been in style in ten years. It’s inconsistent, but worth a look through to find something good.
