Victoria Beckham wears flats! (Yes, this is news.)


Most of us mere mortals have a mix of boots, flats, heels, sneakers, and sandals in our closets, but Victoria "Posh" Beckham lives up to her Spice Girls moniker wearing sky-high stilettos and platforms every single day. Yes, even when going to the airport or picking up her boys from soccer practice. So imagine the audible gasp we made when we came across this photo of Beckham in a pair of ballet flats. GASP! Yes, we're stunned. We're heading to the optometrist to have our vision tested. What will you tell us next, that Lady Gaga was seen wearing pants?!

We're not the only ones scratching our heads. US Weekly has been documenting her footwear selections this week, and claim they spotted her in flats twice this week. What does it all mean?! US drudged up an old quote where Beckham said, "Unless they're on a ballet dancer doing ballet, I just don't get it... The problem with skinny jeans is if you wear them with flat shoes, like flip-flops or trainers, you end up looking like a golf club." Perhaps the flats were not a stylistic choice. The UK's Daily Mail is confident her footwear swap is the result of "serious bunions," and that she has been advised to have a bunionectomy. Wait, is that even a real thing?

Of course, Bekham's rep has laughed off the whole thing. "Oh please, it's purely a fashion choice," the rep told US. "She loves mixing things up, changing her image. That's all!"

Hmmm... we're not convinced. And for those of you who have endless time and energy to contemplate the shoe choices of celebrities like we do today, don't worry. We have a feeling Buniongate '10 is far from over.
