When Julia Roberts wore thigh-high boots as prostitute Vivian Ward in 1990 film Pretty Woman she started something of a footwear trend. And now, more than two decades later, the latest celebrity to try out the style is Khloe Kardashian, who opted for black thigh-high boots as she stepped out in New York yesterday. However, the 27-year-old reality star looked anything but a pretty woman in the Christian Louboutin boots, which she teamed with an equally unflattering black and red dress.

Instead of drawing attention to her svelte figure, the outfit made Khloe look larger than she is and the heeled boots added inches to her already towering height. Khloe is in New York with her sister Kourtney and husband Lamar Odom as she fits in some business in Manhattan. As well as having a meeting with the team at nail giants OPI to come up with a range of Khloe Kardashain nail paints, Khloe is tonight launching a new favoured vodka called Hpnotiq Harmonie at an exclusive party.
Meanwhile, as well as setting up business meetings, Khloe's sister also managed to squeeze in some shopping during her time in the Big Apple. But it seems the beige Christian Louboutin platforms Kourtney chose for her shopping trip were a bit too much to bare for the older Kardashian today. The 32-year-old was later forced to ditch her designer stilettos in favour of a pair of simple flats.
