We know a good shoe when we see one and apparently so does Winnie Harlow. The Canadian model was front and center at a launch party for Giuseppe Zanotti's London flagship store and of course she was wearing a pair of sandals by the celeb approved footwear designer.

Her suede stilettos were embellished with crystals and had a snake motif that gave off a super sexy vibe. Winnie wore them with a red high-low dress and a duster coat but we'd just as soon team them with an elegant LBD on our next night out on the town.
