Singer Lily Allen steps out in a pair of gravity-defying looking platform shoes

Updated 18:56pm on 11 Sep 2008




Lily Allen's shoes no doubt raised more than a smile, if not a full on belly laugh as the singer stepped out in west London wearing a pair of gaudy, gravity-defying platform soles.

But it was the rear view which caused the most amusement, as the shoe designers Chanel decided to hack the heel in half and insert a huge gilt logo into the middle of it.

Why so glum? Lily Allen looks down in the dumps but her funny-looking shoes should have raised a smile as she headed to the studio today

Lily's unusual £430 Chanel platform shoes are highly sort after

Despite their unusual appearance, the shoes are highly sought after.

Chanel's Bond Street store confirmed the £430 from the French fashion house's Spring Summer 2008 range shoes are almost sold out.

The glum-looking singer was seen wearing the platform soled shoes as she headed to the recording studio.

But with those shoes on her feet, you would have thought she could have raised a smile!

I think she looks cute! One thing about Lily Allen that I like is she's not one of those glamorous phonies. She's a real person!

Looks more loco than Coco. How did Karl Lagerfeld let these out of the front door. Lets stick to Kelly Brook in her Christians from now on.
