Celebrity Boots
People love to imitate celebrity fashion, and celebrity boots are just one of the many coveted items that the world's favorite style icons are wearing. Celebrities have just as much power as the high-end designers when it comes to fashion. In fact, most designers use celebrities to advertise their latest lines on the red carpet as well as in everyday life.
Celebrity Boots and You
Did anyone even care about Ugg boots until hot stars like Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Simpson started strutting around Hollywood in these cozy items? Likewise, Jessica Simpson was also photographed all over Brentwood in high heeled boots worn over her jeans in an effort to promote her own shoe line. Sarah Jessica Parker, who starred in HBO's hit series Sex and the City, is the very reason why Midwestern housewives know of Manolo Blahnik shoes. For a little while Britney Spears without her cowboy boots was a rare sight.

The Celebrity Boot Culture
In some cases, the average woman may find a boot style repulsive in the runway images, but as soon as a celebrity she relates to puts a similar pair on, she can't help but imagine herself in a pair just like them.
Seven Boot Styles Celebrities Love
Celebrities have been photographed in all types of boots, but the trends that have really stuck around in everday life for real women include:
- Over-the-knee: From Claudia Schiffer to Taylor Momsen, these boots have been everywhere on all types of women. Some may have been skeptical when they first arrived on the scene, but everyone from housewives to college kids can feel comfortable in them. They've also been seen on Kate Moss and Lindsay Lohan.
- Bootie/Shootie/Ankle boots: These shoes can go with pants or skirts, so there's no wonder celebrities and average women alike love their versatility. They've been spotted on Kate Bosworth, Rachel Bilson, Whitney Port, Nicky Hilton, and more.
- Sleek leather, with heels: Who doesn't love a pair of boots that can do it all, whether it's time to party or concentrate at work? Taylor Swift has been photographed in them, and she's far from alone. These can be any height and still achieve the same effect, from ankle boots to knee-high.
- Prints: There's just something about boots with prints--animal print, especially--that seems a little "wild child" but at the same time, appropriate for a range of situations. Nicole Richie has worn them and so has Rachel Bilson. Jennifer Lopez, Ashley Tisdale, and Jessica Szohr have paired their leopard print booties with everything from dresses to leggings.
- Knee-high: Knee-high boots are somewhat of a classic, but not as common as mid-calf boots. These look a little more daring but not quite as attention-grabbing as the over-the-knee or thigh-high styles out there. They can be worn with almost anything. Pippa Middleton, Jessica Simpson, and Nicole Scherzinger also wear them while they're out.
- Riding boots: Some may believe that this was an unlikely trend for celebrities. They are typically leather, feature flat soles, and come to about mid-calf. Though they're popular in America, British lingerie and catwalk models have been photographed in them, too.
- Uggs: These are everywhere, paired with pants and miniskirts. They've been around for years, and they're still going strong.
Boots for Every Outfit
There's a boot for almost any outfit, whether you're wearing a voluminous short dress or a pair of body-hugging leggings. If you want to wear jeans, boots are a given, and the possibilities to pair with those are endless. Look to celebrities for creative inspiration; with stylists at their fingertips, they almost never disappoint.
