Our Favorite Sparkly Shoes, at a Range of Prices
In T’s column 1 Piece, 10 Budgets, we share 10 perfect versions of an item in a range of prices. This time, we’re looking at the shiny or sparkly pump, a style that trades everyday practicality for a sense of occasion. Here are T contributing editor Jaclyn Bloomfield’s favorite pairs.

1. Charles & Keith, $89
Sequins lend more than a touch of shimmer to this Charles & Keith slingback, which, with its modest kitten heel, will carry you from the first toast to the end of the night.
2. Nine West, $99
Whether in silver or white, Nine West’s rhinestone mesh-covered Freshe pump delivers both a high heel — just under four inches — and high shine.
3. Betsey Johnson, $119
With rhinestones in varying sizes and an angular metallic heel, the Clark slingback from Betsey Johnson can’t help but catch the light.
4. Dolce Vita, $150
Named after its founders’ favorite bar in Florence, Italy, Dolce Vita aptly offers an array of party-ready shoes, among them the Kashe, with a three-inch heel and a mesh upper.
5. Reformation, $298
Featuring metallic foiled leather with graphic laser-cut detailing, Reformation’s Nour slingback evokes a 1970s dance floor and, simultaneously, the mirrored disco ball overhead.
6. Repetto, $615
This pointy-toed pump from Repetto elevates the brand’s signature Cendrillon ballet flat, originally designed for Brigitte Bardot, and adds an eye-catching glitter finish.
7. Proenza Schouler, $1,590
Here, with layers of sequins that have the look of shaggy fringe, Proenza Schouler plays with texture and movement. The brand’s signature fluted tee heel contributes to the style’s arty feel.
8. Bottega Veneta, $1,850
Made in Italy from lambskin leather and mesh and outfitted with more than 100 crystals per shoe, this style from Bottega Veneta is as craftful as it is fun-loving. It even has a grip sole, ideal for slippery conditions.
9. Loewe, $1,950
A modern-day take on Cinderella’s glass slipper, Loewe’s Toy pump has a mesh body embellished with clear, raindroplike rhinestones — and a transparent heel exposing an internal metal shank that grounds the fairy-tale heel.
10. Jimmy Choo, $2,795
Jimmy Choo’s Love pump, a core silhouette for the brand with a pointed toe and a slender stiletto heel, returns this season in satin set with thousands of crystals.
