Flat shoes are a no, no for Christina Hendricks

By Andrea Petrou on April 11th, 2011

Christina Hendricks never wears flat shoes.

The ‘Mad Men’ actress – who is famed for her curvaceous figure – revealed she is a huge fan of high heels and if she is not wearing them she usually goes barefoot.

She said: “I’m either barefoot or in high heels. I’ve fallen madly in love with some Charlotte Olympia heels- they’ve got a big bow on them. If I find a pair that’s comfy and high, then I pick them up.”

Christina is not just passionate about shoes, she has very specific tastes when it comes to clothes and prefers to wear eclectic items that show off her waist where possible.

She explained to Britain’s InStyle magazine: “My day-to-day style is very feminine and eclectic. I like to mix vintage with new or tough with sweet. My ‘Mad men’ character Joan is a lot more streamlined than I am, I like a little bit more romance in my clothes.

“I know from the show that it’s good to show off my waist. It’s a nice quality I have. I’m drawn to things with a nice waistline, but if something doesn’t have one, then I tailor it so it does.”

The sun is shining (well to some extent anyway) and we’re all getting closer to going on that planned holiday away. We’ve given you the skirts and the shorts but one thing we haven’t yet covered are sandals. If your as shoe obsessed as we are then you’ll already know there’s a huge summer range to choose from this year.

We’re currently coveting flat gladiator styles and sandals, which are perfect teamed up with shorts, maxi dresses and skinny jeans for a smart/casual look or with a playsuit and little skirt for a night on the town.
