Expensive shoes dorothys ruby slippers

Well-heeled fans of “The Wizard of Oz” looking for their own pair of ruby slippers can choose from a collection made by top designers with red Swarovski crystals. Vincent Beggs, an independent curator for Warner Brothers Studios, adjusts Judy Garland’s Arabian ruby slippers, one of five pairs believed designed by Adrian Greenberg of MGM studios and believed worn by Garland for test and wardrobe shots in the 1939 film ‘The Wizard of Oz. ‘ Beggs was setting the shoes up for a showing at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York, Thursday, Sept. 4, 2008.

All the shoes from the Ruby Slipper Collection unveiled at a party to mark New York Fashion Week. The shoes, considered the rarest of all the ruby slippers used while making the film, are owned by Debbie Reynolds. Each pair is worth at least $1,000, adding that plain leather couture shoes at Saks start at $650. But since the shoes will be raffled for charity next year, in conjunction with the 70th anniversary of the movie’s release, each pair could easily fetch much more.
