Stars from Mad Men to Law & Order Put Hollywood It Shoe Designer Back in the Spotlight

Also glammed up in Choos: Mariska Hargitay (Law and Order: Special Victims Unit); Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer) and Olivia Wilde (House).

Best known for handmade shoes that can cost $3,000 and dreamlike creations often shown with designers like Dior and Lagerfeld, Rene Caovilla is somewhat of a red carpet newcomer. Ugly Betty star America Ferrera completed her retro-style bubble hem dress with Caovilla pointy toe lace heels. Very Mode cover-worthy. Once deemed too fuddy duddy for high-fashion, lace has enjoyed a comeback as an en vogue accent in keeping with fall's fling with JFK-era fashions and vintage stylings. In contrast, Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross opted for a delicate sandal to complement her fantastical ballerina Elie Saab frock.

If the reams of ruching, ruffles and asymmetrical gowns that decorated the Emmy red carpet are any indication, membership to Caovilla's celebrity-studded fan club for sensual, super-precious chaussures will skyrocket for the industry's crown jewel event-the Oscars.

With breathtaking creations like these bejeweled three-strap sandals, could Rene Caovilla be the red carpet heir apparent? Shop ShoeCompare.com for more belle of the ball heels.
