Did Jessica Simpson Rip Off Christian Louboutin?



Did rumored billionaire Jessica Simpson get a little too much inspiration from Christian Louboutin?

Pregnant Jess, who's herself hung up the stilettos, might soon be in some hot water over a pair of her brand's heels. The blog Cellar Paper noticed that a pair of towering strappy sandals named Evangel from Jessica Simpson's sprawling shoe line bear a surprising resemblance to Christian Louboutin's Staratata heels.

Simpson herself wears the shoes in an ad tucked into the new issue of Elle. Jessica's pink sandals retail for $98, while the red-soled version will cost you $995.

These hot heels are the latest in a series of fashion copycat skirmishes, including knockoff Michael Kors and Victoria Beckham dresses, Taylor Tomasi Hill's alleged Marc Jacobs ripoff and of course, that other famous copycat shoe case: Ivanka Trump's supposed lifting of Derek Lam sandal designs.

We've contacted Jessica Simpson's reps for comment and will update when we hear back.

Yeah, what about those companies that make the knockoff dresses after the Oscars? The ones that look almost exactly like the designer dresses but are only a few hundred bucks?
innocentanalyst 5th-Apr-2012 07:08 pm (UTC)
this. I go to DSW and I see so many flats that look similar to the Chanel ones I wish I can afford.

she needs a good lawyer. Louboutin goes crazy over copycats.
sky3205 5th-Apr-2012 06:16 pm (UTC)
yah, remember the lawsuit against YSL? crazy
ohforreal 5th-Apr-2012 06:20 pm (UTC)
that lawsuit was total bs in my humble opinion. he'll prob win this one if he decides to pursue it though
enslaved_cullen 5th-Apr-2012 07:17 pm (UTC)
That one was actually ridiculous. I was on YSL's side. But they can definitely win the lawsuit in this one.
starsxsonatas 5th-Apr-2012 06:13 pm (UTC)
oh, wow... those are pretty much exactly the same in the pictures. damn, i usually love her shoes. :/
evalize 5th-Apr-2012 06:15 pm (UTC)
Bought these pair of heels and did not know they were from her line lol I was so surprised
starsxsonatas 5th-Apr-2012 06:24 pm (UTC)
for the prices they peddle their shoes at, js shoes are seriously good quality and usually very pretty. it's just a shame that she is probably going to get slapped with a fat lawsuit for this, b/c those are a blatant knockoff haha. idk what they were thinking with that one.

debbiedew323 5th-Apr-2012 06:17 pm (UTC)
I have a pair of JS heels and they are the comfiest heels I own.
soho 5th-Apr-2012 06:20 pm (UTC)
loool, ikr? If you're going to copy them at least make SOME changes so you can have some leeway, damn.
williammiller 5th-Apr-2012 06:52 pm (UTC)
I had two pairs of her flats and they were a comfy once they stretched out. The toe part is a little narrower.
piratesswoop 5th-Apr-2012 07:33 pm (UTC)
