Korean celebrities love high fashion, expensive footwear. For instance, "Mama" singer Nicole and A New Leaf actress Chae Jung Ahn modeled $495 Ralph Lauren suede boots in the pages of Singles and InStyle.

Meanwhile, 2NE1's CL has a taste for wilder patterns. She posed with $602 Saint Laurent Paris Leopard-Print Leather Pumps in hot pink for Complex magazine. Other stars, like After Schoo's UEE and 4Minute's HyunA, prefer a mix of the classic and contemporary in their heels, like the $1,425 Giuseppe Zanotti "Wild Africa" wedges.

Another pair of shoes that is making the rounds in Korean magazine pictorials is the Charlotte Olympia Dolly suede courts pumps in navy. The pricy platforms were worn by Haeundae Lovers actress Jo Yeo Jung in the January issue of Marie Claire. The star coupled the tall stilettos with a matching blue coat for a business, formal look.

The pumps were also worn by Apgujeong Midnight Sun star Park Ha Na in the March issue of Sure. The beauty finished off her look with a black leather dress from Guy Laroche's 2013 Fall/Winter collection.

According to Charlotte Olympia, "Let your feet do the talking with these Dolly suede courts...Finished in a luxuriously soft navy suede, these shoes are accented with a stunning gold front heel for that added touch of sophisticated class."
