SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE: Now Kristen Stewart gives Louboutins the boot

Sulky Kristen Stewart, known to the dumbed-down generation as K-Stew, is the latest leading lady to declare war on high heels.

The Twilight star arrived at a screening of her new film Equals at the Venice Film Festival sporting a pair by French cobbler Christian Louboutin, only to kick off the sparkly clackers as soon as she’d taken her seat.

When Emma Thompson took to the stage at last year’s Golden Globes, she tossed her pricey Looby-Loos over her shoulder.

I wonder if Monsieur Louboutin might reconsider his PR strategy and ban stars from wearing his creations?

K-Stew might be famed for her love of skinny jeans, scruffy tees and trainers on her off-duty days, but she’s made quite a name for herself as a red carpet style icon.

The Twilight actress loves to switch up her red carpet looks with playsuits and skirts but we are loving the dress she wore to the Venice Film Festival.

Here, Kristen didn’t fail to impress yet again when she stepped out in a metallic silver lace overlay dress from Chanel Haute Couture Fall 2015 collection.

Sadly, the dress is unavailable but you do have the option to shop Chanel at Farfetch.com or take a look at our edit below to emulate Kristen's style.

We'll be pairing the Tadashi dress from Nordstrom with Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps to get that sooo cool look that Kristen has!

...NOW GET ONE LIKE IT!

Those leather-elbowed North London Lefties are celebrating already. Next Monday, two days after the next Labour leader is announced, The Forum in Kentish Town hosts ‘Jeremy Corbyn Night’.

More from Sebastian Shakespeare for the Daily Mail...

The evening features a ‘stellar line-up of comedians, singers and poets’ including Arthur Smith and Mark Steel, to celebrate Jezza’s expected triumph.

Other speakers include socialist pipsqueak Owen Jones. Sadly, I fear I might be too busy cleaning my tennis shoes to attend.

Genesis star's a voice of reason

Amidst a cacophony of D-list celebrities hijacking the Syrian refugee crisis to parade compassionate credentials, Genesis keyboard player Tony Banks emerges as a refreshing voice of reason.

‘These tragedies happen — there are no simple solutions and I think you can’t necessarily respond to every emotional image. That becomes very dangerous, really,’ Banks tells me at the Progressive Music Awards.

‘You’ve got to do what you think is right for the long term, and I don’t know what the answers are.

‘Some people say let everybody in, some people say let nobody in.

‘I feel as much as everybody else does about insoluble problems.’

With one eye on a return to the Elysee Palace in 2017, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been busy apeing Tony Blair by boosting his bank balance on the lucrative international speaking circuit.

His poor grasp of English puts him at a disadvantage to his old pal Tony - but he appears to have a saucy trump card up his sleeve.

During a recent pow wow with Buenos Aires dignitaries, Sarko’s beguiling wife, Carla Bruni, whipped out her guitar and treated the grandes fromages to a seductive sing-song.

Freddie, 28, has followed in his late-father’s footsteps by earning his crust as an endurance racer. But, despite his love of speed, he hasn’t inherited all of his traits.

Unlike his hard-living papa, who once boasted he’d bedded more than 5,000 women before his death in 1993 at 45, Freddie admits he prefers life at a slower pace.
