Chlöe Bailey's Toronto Film Festival shoes: gold Aquazzura platforms, and the twin for $40.60.

By I Deserve New Shoes·Updated ·3 min read
TL;DR

Chlöe Bailey's shoe at the Toronto Film Festival was the Aquazzura Divine Plateau 130 in metallic gold: crisscross straps over the toes, a thin ankle strap, a platform and a 130 mm stiletto, about $1,050. Footwear News identified the pair. Ruby's twin is the DREAM PAIRS crisscross platform stiletto sandal in gold at $40.60: the same crossed straps, the same ankle strap, a 1-inch platform under a 4.8-inch heel. It is new on Amazon with 11 reviews at 4.9 stars, and that is the honest part.

The shoe on the carpet

The disco platform is back, and Aquazzura's Divine Plateau is the version stylists reach for: a platform that makes a 130 mm heel walkable, crisscross straps that hold the foot, and a metallic finish that catches every flash. Under a coral fringe mini at the Golden Globes kick-off party in Toronto, it was the shoe in every photo.

The reel above recreates the walk with AI from an event photograph: heel strike, front walk with the fringe swinging, side profile, the view from behind, then the same angles on the twin. No face, no body, just the shoe and the hem.

The twin, and the one difference

The DREAM PAIRS gets the silhouette right: crossed gold straps over the toes, a thin ankle strap with a small buckle, a 1.1-inch platform and a 4.8-inch stiletto. The gold is a shade deeper and glossier than hers. It is synthetic rather than leather, which is the whole difference at $40.60.

It launched on Amazon on August 30, so there are only 11 reviews so far, all but one at five stars. Dream Pairs is a brand this page's readers already buy, which is why Ruby is comfortable sending it.
