The shoes were of course inspired by Jolie’s character Maleficent in the film of the same name – a black-sporting fairy who calls herself the Mistress of All Evil. Thus, they feature nude mesh to create ‘an illusion of magic’ and ‘the result is an exclusive shoe that’s dark, dangerous and altogether seductive, on the red carpet and off’, according to the brand.

Available in the UK by calling Christian Louboutin’s Mount Street store (020 7491 0033), the shoes retail at £950. Profits from sales will benefit SOS Children’s Villages, the world’s largest organisation dedicated to orphaned and abandoned children which has been supported by mother-of-six Jolie since 2003.
Louboutin was clearly bewitched by his high profile collaborator: “It is exciting to work with someone who has such a strong aesthetic and character. Getting to know Angelina through a fun collaboration has been one of my greatest pleasures!!!”
