Why is Gwyneth Paltrow wearing such fierce footwear?

What is up with Gwyneth Paltrow's footwear fetish?

Seems as though every pair of heels she wears to events lately are these hyper-trendy gargantuan gladiator stiletto platforms, like these by Balenciaga, worn to the Cannes Film Festival this week.

When did she become such a shoe freak? One shoe expert (click here!) has a theory about what all this fierce footwear says about Paltrow's new mood and current state of mind.

What's your vote on Gwynnie's Roman-warrior sandals? I guess they do kinda make sense with the white toga dress on the right. Perfect for the next Roman orgy, right, Caesar?
