Boys will be boys, but girls will often be man-eating sex kittens with the quick change into a white boot. Austin Powers, watch out: B Brian Atwood has created the bootie for the ultimate fembot. Of course, the designer is none other than the creator of the towering Maniac pump. This guy serves up sex on stilettos like he was born to do it. And if you intend to take the leap and back-zip these up, you had better be ready to strut like you were born in them.

White leather is coy and innocent, but in this calf-grazing style, it’s all about suggestion. And then the underside of the sole flashes an awesome snake-print that wraps around, sandwiched between the boot and platform. Sexy, beyond. Can you handle it? You need to be fierce enough to pull this style off. Don’t even consider going half-assed here. On ShopBop for $595.

Pair with: Just do it with Elizabeth and James’ wiggle-worthy ruched Brinn dress, complete with flattering folds and one seductive cutout. On Net-a-Porter for $285.
