Hold on to your seats everyone: Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted wearing flats! *gasp*
Okay, it’s not really”OMG breaking news”, but Gywneth has been very busy promoting Iron Man 2, attending fashion events and going to award shows recently that we’ve gotten quite used to seeing her all glammed up in pair after pair of sky-high heels. So seeing her in these flat gladiators is kind of strange but nice at the same time since we obviously love it when celebs keep wearing gladiators over here at All Gladiator Sandals.
Here is photographic evidence, I mean, here are a few pictures of Gwynie wearing flat gladiator sandals at the Ralph Lauren Wimbledon party held at the Ralph Lauren store in London, England on Thursday, June 17:

My initial reaction when I saw these pictures was to immediately look for a high heel on Gywneth’s sandals. Finding that there are none, I researched that Gwyneth’s dress is the Stella McCartney Fall 2010 RTW One Sleeve Mini Dress and her sandals are the Givenchy Woven Zip Flats:
These are available in black too, but you can see the exquisite details on the woven leather trim better on these brown ones. These are $495.00 and can be bought at Barneys.com.
I like the thick instep t-strap that covers the vamp on these sandals. But if you must have the zipper, here are 4 center zip-up gladiators that are at most just 25% of the price of Gwyneth’s Givenchy flats:

1. Luichiny Frank Lee, $32.50 (was $64.99); 2. Madden Girl Aviator, $49.95; 3. Dolce Vita Neve, $125.56 (was $156.95); 4. Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Murray Zip Thong Sandals, $115.00 (was $230.00).
If you’re just liking the thick center t-strap like I am, here are 4 more gladiator sandals in that style from ~$50 to ~$100:

From top to bottom: Kensie Girl Shaylo, $48.95. BCBGeneration Uma, $71.06 (was $78.95). Boutique 9 Prominent, $85.76 (was $119.95). B. Makowsky Tara, $102.83 (was $123.00).
