There are only a handful of trends that deserve the spotlight, and this one is among them. The Christian Dior Extreme Gladiator Sandals has been around since 2008 and has pioneered the sexy gladiator pumps trend. This pair was spotted several times in the Sex and the City movie, worn none other than the most popular shoe-holic herself, Carrie Bradshaw. Since then, it has spawned a good following in the streets of Hollywood.

Christian Dior Extreme Gladiator Sandals $780

The bad news is – it is too expensive, with a price tag of almost $800. The good news is – we have found a couple of look-a-likes that will help you save hundreds of dollars. Take a look at these cheaper alternatives.

Jimmy Choo Ursula $440

Michael Kors Sage $202.99

Calvin Klein Kate Sandals $99.99

You don’t always have to spend a lot of money to look good, there are several other cheaper options that give off the same feel minus the super expensive price tags.

The 32 year-old star of the Ghost Whisperer looked sensational in a tight-fitting Herve Leger by Max Azria frock that accentuated her sexy curves. She finished her sizzling style with a pair of strappy, black gladiator wedges.
