It’s been a while since we blogged about the celebrity scene, so when I spotted a certain sandal making the rounds among not one, not two, but three stylish stars … I knew I had to write about it.

The shoe is the Sam Edelman Gilda (left), a snakeskin gladiator flat also featured on Solevoice in May.   Rachel Bilson (below left), best known for her role on The O.C., choose a casual grey dress, gold belt, oversized handbag, and fedora to top her pair of Gilda sandals.

Katherine Heigl (below center) of Grey’s Anatomy opted for a dressier look with a scoop-necked red dress and few accessories.  Both Rachel and Katherine, though, knew their simple, mid-thigh frocks would serve to lengthen their legs and minimize the “cut off at the ankle” effect that tends to occur with strappy sandals like these.

Finally, the most casual of the three, Vanessa Hudgens (below right) from High School Musical paired her Sam Edelman Gildas with skinny jeans and a colorfully printed top.  By creating a single, long line from hip to toe, Vanessa is also able to give herself a lithe silhouette.

Want to replicate the look of one of these lovely ladies?  Get your own pair of Sam Edelman Gilda gladiator sandals.  Rachel, Katherine and Vanessa all opted for black, but we’ve got it in white, too!  Just $79.95 at Solestruck.com and as always, the shipping’s on us.

  so…how does one pick the right pair of gladiators? for big feet? is there a rule, or a basic idea of what goes and what should not be worn? too strappy, fewer straps, color, any kind of little heel, fabriic/material?

  Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans,louis vuitton sale especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
