Jason Bateman was seen out and about with his lovely wife Amanda Anka the morning of August 9th. Not really the typical celebrity/celebrity couple we feature here on All Gladiator Sandals but you gotta see what they were wearing - they had on nearly the same outfit down to the pair of sunnies on their faces! :

Black sunglass, black shirts, blue denims and black shoes. Jason Bateman’s Wiki page says that he and Amanda have been married for nearly 10 years – I think that’s long enough for a couple to have been together for them to start dressing alike!

Of course the other reason why I decided to feature this “dressalike” couple today is because of Amanda Anka’s cool black gladiator sandals:

They’re the classic Dolce Vita Ellies. I call them classic because these were one of the first sandals we ever wrote about here on All Gladiator Sandals.

It’s been about a year since Dolce Vita released these sandals so it’s expected that online boutiques don’t carry them anymore. But with my expert deal hunting skills, I did find one store that has them in stock – GothamCityOnline.com:

These sandals were about $175.00 when they first came out and GothamCityOnline has them listed for only $82.96. The catch is, they only have a size 10. So if you wear that size and you like these sandals then head on over to GothamCityOnline.com – these sandals are calling your name!

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).

Celebrities were out attending their respective Memorial Day parties last May 31 and Kate Beckinsale celebrated hers at producer Joel Silver’s party on the beach in Malibu, California. It was a mega star-studded event what with the likes of Robert Downey Jr., Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio in attendance (January Jones and Adrien Brody from my last post were there as well).

Here are pictures of Kate Beckinsale at Joel Silver’s Memorial Day bash:

Kate Beckinsale wore the Christian Louboutin Nurial Sandal for the event. Only Christian Louboutin will do for an a-lister like Kate:

The taupe color that Kate is wearing isn’t available anymore, but the tan color of this sandal can be bought online at Barneys.com.

Now if you want the taupe color and also don’t want to spend nearly 500 dollars on a pair of gladiator espadrilles, check out these three alternatives to Kate Beckinsale’s Christian Louboutin gladiator espadrilles:

Blowfish Ladder, $43.95

Dolce Vita Neve, $109.55 (30% off; originally $156.50)

La Canadienne Loretta, $164.95
