‘Oh my,’ are the words that sprang to mind when I saw these beautiful Charlotte Olympia Ninivah leopard pumps. If ever there was a statement shoe to own for next season, I believe this is it.

With a sensual gold leopard overlay, these black platform pumps take the concept of leopard print to a whole new level (as does the silver and red leather detailing on the toe and the crystal-embellished eyes).

Can you imagine what these shoes would do to the average pair of black skinny jeans? Good grief, statement style will never have been so easy to work with a pair of these under your belt (or, er, on your feet, as the case may be).

And the price? Well, they’re placed at a rather steep (whisper) £669, but when all things are considered, I’d buy them for a grand if it meant I could have mini cats on my feet for the new season.
