With no man in sight, I decided to rescue my ankles from a life of boredom by purchasing too many pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes.
In Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker's character, Carrie Bradshaw, was so in love with her Choos that her many pairs were almost like guest stars in the 94 episodes of the hit HBO show. Oh, how we loved watching Carrie wearing pair after glorious pair of heels as she walked up and down her famed Manhattan brownstone steps and into the intoxicating streets of New York City. Who could forget when Carrie lost a prized Jimmy Choo slingback in her dash to the last Staten. Island ferry back to Manhattan? Her "I lost my Choo!" lament is now viral on TikTok
But our obsession doesn't end with the small screen (or the large screen for that matter - a Jimmy Choo store was featured in The Valet with Samara Weaving in 2022). Since the shoe brand's launch in 1996, Jimmy Choo has been a red-carpet staple - and has had more than a few star moments.
