Choo Debut!

Jimmy Choo got a brand new home in Beverly Hills and the party celebrating the swank Rodeo Drive digs was such a hot ticket... the fire marshal shut down the over-crowded party before it had barely begun. 

I was standing outside next to Lisa Kudrow, Debra Messing and her husband and Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, who were all waiting to get in. Lisa Kudrow politely posed with fans for photos and Lisa Rinna laughed about the situation and said - "It's Jimmy Choo, who doesn't want to get in!" 

Once we did go inside... it was jam-packed. Wall-to-wall beautiful people including a Malandrino clad Angie Harmon who hosted the evening. Also there - Lauren Conrad, Audrina Partridge, Gabrielle Union and Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, who gave birth to twins in October. 

Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon - gorgeous in Dior - jetted in in from London, of course.  Even Miramax honcho Harvey Weinstein was there... with his new bride, Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman.

There was lots of Veuve champagne to go around and, of course, shoes and bags to ogle. Sexy snakeskin... brightly colored patent heels. Yum, I'll take one of each delicious pair! 

Of course, wearing such high heels does come at a painful price. At the end of the night I looked over at Debra Messing, who was one of the last celebrities at the party, and saw that even she had slipped off her Choos to give her feet a rest.
