The piece: Jimmy Choo Lance Metallic Leather Sandals

The investment: $775

Why it's worth it: When they say "put your dancing shoes on" we suspect they're talking about these metallic Jimmy Choos. Even if you're not really in the party mood, we bet putting these on would change your tune. You can't help but feel sexier, cooler, and walk a little taller in these four-inch heels. Yes, they're a little more pricey than your average party shoes, but that's because they're not average at all — and they're not just for party season either. While they'll complement your dresses with a pitch-perfect dose of shine all holiday-season long, they'll also go with your jeans, skirts, dresses, and even shorts every other day of the year, too — the glam counterpart to your boyfriend denim (how very Carrie Bradshaw of you!). So while finding the perfect New Year's Eve heel might be your only priority now, rest assured, there will be no buyer's remorse when you're wearing these long after we ring in 2013.

Taylor Swift had us doing a double take as she stepped onto the red carpet in a dazzling Zuhair Murad minidress adorned with floral embellishments and gold beadwork at the American Music Awards in LA. She accessorized her metallic look with shimmering Jimmy Choo sandals ($775), gold floral studs, and her signature red nail polish. Re-create Taylor's shining and sexy look by pairing her exact sandals with a sparkling minidress and gold studs for date night or test-drive these Chinese Laundry sandals ($60) for a more budget-friendly option.

Celebs have been loving white footwear for some time, but now it's all about the juxtaposition between an all-black look and a stark white shoe. Rebecca Romijn donned a black sheer minidress with crisp white floral-embellished sandals in LA, Gwyneth Paltrow sported a black cutout Michael Kors dress with white Jimmy Choo pumps in NYC, and Ciara went for a black blazer dress over tuxedo pants and white ankle-strap Givenchy sandals in LA. Whether you prefer a little black dress, a black maxi skirt, or pants, the next time you get dressed in head-to-toe black, consider finishing off with white shoes for the chicest colorblock effect.

While her kids played at the park in Brentwood, Heidi Klum looked on stylishly in a pair of black and white striped Paige jeans ($199) and a new Jimmy Choo black saddle bag with chain detail ($1,249). The supermodel finished her eclectic-cute look via a black button-down blouse, a chain belt, fox loafers, and oversize aviators. Score Heidi's exact bag and jeans now for a Fall look that's anything but boring.

Kim Kardashian's style has transitioned from glamour girl to rock-chic goddess, swapping bold colors and prints for lots of luxe leather, and her latest Miami ensemble was right on point. The brunette stunner styled an olive green button-down blouse with a black leather miniskirt and laser-cut Jimmy Choo sandals while running errands with her boyfriend Kanye West. She completed her South Beach style with a few gold bangles, face-framing Kanye West wrap sunglasses, and a printed Louis Vuitton zip wallet. Mimic Kim's look with a green button-down, black leather mini, and cutout sandals for cocktails with the girls.

Amber Heard was spotted outside LA's Mr. Chow restaurant rocking a black flared leather skirt. Many leather skirts we see on celebs are usually either mini or pencil, so it's refreshing to see the actress in a new silhouette. Up top Amber wore a white silky tank and a black belt, and on bottom black satin platform pumps. Adding major dazzle to her nighttime look were a gold glittery Jimmy Choo Rebel bag ($950), this Adina Reyer hexagon necklace ($68), and red lipstick. If you don't yet own a black leather skirt, draw inspiration from Amber by adding a black flared leather skirt to your Fall mix. You can dress it up with heels at night, get cozy with a chunky sweater, and pair it with a button-down blouse and pumps for work.
