Ginnifer Goodwin got a lot of flak for the two-sizes-too-big dress she wore at the Calvin Klein Collection & Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) first annual bash for the L.A. Arts Monthly and Art Los Angeles Contemporary last January 28, 2010, and you can clearly see why:

The puffed sheer sleeves and the ruching on the front of the dress overwhelms the actress’s tiny frame. Even if the dress was in Ginnifer’s size, the oversized long necklace she chose to accessorize with doesn’t help the dress’s cause and only draws the eye downward towards the floor.

There is one good thing about that though – our eyes immediately focus on Ginnifer’s gorgeous satin peep toe booties:

These are like the gladiator sandal’s grown up sister. She’s over her tomboy phase and now wears cashmere, silk, and satin clothes. She’s allowed to wear 3-inch heels, stay out late, and get away with wearing revealing clothing. She isn’t afraid to flaunt her female side.

These are strappy gladiator sandals made more stylish, luxurious, and obviously red carpet-ready as demonstrated by Ginnifer here.

Ginnifer’s shoes are the ALDO Mickolick Pumps. Here are other strappy gladiator styles that are just as glam and luxurious as Ginnifer’s:
