They say if the shoe fits, wear it, and it seems Angelina Jolie has taken that saying to heart 😀

At a photocall yesterday in London for her latest film Maleficent, the 38-year-old actress donned a pair of striking white pointy wedges from Christian Louboutin, with transparent panels and a horn-like adornment on the heel.

Ms Jolie stayed in character at the photocall by pairing her white shoes with an Atelier Versace dress adorned with an equally eerie bird illustration.  Her co-star Elle Fanning also wore all-white, showing off her youthful figure in a crop top and knee-length skirt.

Just three days earlier, she attended a photocall in Paris, wearing the same five-inch heels, this time in black to match her dark Ralph Lauren bustier and trouser.

According to Us Weekly, there’s a reason she can’t get enough of the unique footwear, especially when promoting her new film – the shoes were custom-made for her by the designer.

‘It’s exciting to work with a film that has such a strong aesthetic and a character as great as Maleficent,’ said Mr Louboutin. ‘I’ve been under the charm and spell of Angelina and her character.’

The eye-catching shoes are certainly spooky like Ms Jolie’s character; the white pair even had drips of red on the tips of the horns that looked like blood.  And it’s not the last we’ll see of them; Mr Louboutin has also apparently designed versions in red and gold that are soon to be released.

Talking about the movie, Ms Jolie said she has always been drawn towards villains rather than princesses – which may run in the family.  She revealed that her daughter, Shiloh, turned down the role of young Princess Aurora, giving it to her younger sister Vivienne instead.  ‘I asked Shiloh about being Aurora, and she laughed in my face,’ she said. She added that her seven-year-old daughter ‘said she’d be a horned creature’ instead.

The mother of six, whose five-year-old daughter Vivienne makes her acting debut in the film, said she understands why fairy tales have such universal appeal.

‘I suppose we all want to believe in happy endings,’ she said. ‘But fairytales take aspects of the human condition and magnify them, the characters and feelings. They help us relate to the questions and stories but they do it in a much more colorful way.’
