Last updated at 09:28am on 25.04.08Gwyneth Paltrow's shoe fetish continued on the red carpet last night, as she debuted yet another pair of sky-high stilettos at the London première of Iron Man.
The usually-demurely dressed Gwyneth, 35, wowed the crowd of fans in a minuscule lace mini-dress, tuxedo jacket and Alexander McQueen satin heels.
The mother-of-two showed parenthood hadn't affected her sex appeal as she strolled along the red carpet showing off her amazing legs at the Odeon Leicester Square.

She joined her co-stars Robert Downey Jnr, Terrence Howard and director Jon Favreau at the charity screening at the Odeon.
While Downey Jnr was accompanied by his wife Susan Levin and Favreau by his spouse Joya, Gwyneth was a lone figure as husband Chris Martin stayed away.
Her five-inch squared toe pumps were just the latest in a series of super-high and seriously kinky heels the actress has been seen wearing of late.
The American film star has been wearing an array of glamorous footwear during her hectic week, which has seen her visit four countries in four days to promote the movie.

Earlier today, Gwyneth showed off a pair of seriously kinky shoe boots as she arrived at Claridges hotels wearing the buckled peep-toe shoe-boots by Givenchy.
The actress appears to be having a love affair – with a series of extremely high heels as the actress debuted yet another sky-high heels - which looked very similar to another pair of Givenchy ones she sported in New York in early April.

Gwyneth appears to be going through something of an image makeover, ditching the earth mother look she has recently favoured for drop dead glamourpuss.
On Wednesday afternoon, she appeared dressed in a black bondage-style mini-dress, and £450 nude lace-print stiletto heels by Italian designer Giuseppe Zanotti, as she posed at a photocall for Iron Man in Rome.

After a few years out of the Hollywood glare to play the contented mother, she is clearly enjoying teetering on the edge a little.
In Berlin on Tuesday, the made-over mummy, who has also recently chopped off her long blonde tresses, showcased two pairs of eye-popping heels.
A £495 pair of black lace-up patent Burberry shoe boots for a daytime photocall, and for the evening a £400 pair of black patent Christian Louboutin stilettos.
And on most occasions, Gwyneth has opted for thigh-grazing dresses to reveal her enviably long legs.

Walking boots: Gwyneth appears to like her shoes high, black and shiny
The actress, who won an Oscar for film Shakespeare in Love, first revealed her penchant for racy footwear in New York earlier this month.
She first drew attention for the black bondage-style Givenchy shoe boots she wore to a charity event with a rather demure tea dress.
However, on Monday it seemed she had gone an inch too far as she gingerly tottered down the steps of a Parisian restaurant in 7 inch black and brown platform ankle boots.

The 35-year-old emerged from the Paris restaurant in the super-high black boots - which were definitely not made for walking - clutching at the arm of her bodyguard to stay upright.
Miss Paltrow's publicist Emily Yomtobian said earlier this week the shoes were by a little-known designer, Paccini.
Gwyneth lives in London with rocker husband Martin and their two young children, Apple and Moses.

Gwyneth is beautiful, has gorgeous legs, and her shoe-choices are terrific. They're wonderful! They make high, sexy and expensive shoes for women exactly like her, and I admire that she can (and DOES) wear them. They flatter her and add to her appeal. I love all her shoes, but that pair in Rome is exceptional!

Sometimes she gets it so wrong on the shoe front. Most of the above outfits she wears are lovely bar the totally mismatching shoes!
- Daizy, N England
I think the length of the dress actually makes her look quite tarty, but the jacket is fab' and she looks like she's having a good time, so who's to complain?

Charlie! 'decent legs'?! They're amazing and I'm massively jealous! Mid life crisis...she's 35 and gorgeous, not 45 and male.
- Ellie, London
She is only 35, so what that she has 2 children? Yeah the skirt is short, but her legs are amazing and although short the dress is really classy. She looks incredibly stylish, unlike some of the single 20odd wannabe's that you might see flashing their all and sundry around.
Don't be so dull!

Hey Charlie
If your a guy - look behind you there's a dinosaur about to tread on your caveman mentality head and if your a girl -
Shame on you! What age should she start wearing Clark's lace up brogues then? She's a young woman for Gads sake!
Remember your comments when you hit your 30's hen!

Lighten up Charlie, if it makes her feel good and she's easy on the eye then who cares? She's not exactly mutton dressed up lamb.
- Rachelle, London
OMG charlie im not sure if you are male or female but how in the hell is this not appropriate for women her age what do you expect people to wear? Dressed trousers and cardigans? At least she has style which is more than we can say bout you.
- Nicole, Scotland
These photos scream mid life crisis. The skirt is way too short for someone her age (decent legs or not). Not appropriate for a married woman with two kids.
