From classic rock to bumpin' new pop songs, here's a curated list of crowd-pleasers.
Updated Mar 06, 202525 Glass Slipper Shoes for Your Cinderella Wedding Look
You'll want to dance long past midnight.
The age-old fairytale is all about finding true love—but what about the perfect shoe to marry that true love in? The search for Cinderella wedding shoes can be just as intense, but fear not: We're here to be your fairy godmother. If your bridal aesthetic is all about princess vibes—a ballgown, tiara and lace!—then only a pair of glass slipper wedding shoes can complete the look. Alas, last time we checked, glass shoes were not very practical (especially for those who intend to hit the dance floor). Rather, wedding "glass" slippers are rendered in PVC or vinyl, with heels typically constructed of ultra sturdy lucite.
Shoemakers and retailers are modernizing the look—even luxury designers like Stuart Weitzman, Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik are jumping into the Cinderella wedding shoes carriage—with pretty embellishments: crystal florals, rhinestone bows, pearls, glitter and lace, oh my! (Another top trend for glass slipper wedding shoes? Blue hues.) You don't need a king's purse to buy your own fairytale footwear: We found styles starting around $50 and extending upward of $4,000 (Swarovski-encrusted Jimmy Choos); so, there's a glass slipper wedding shoe for every budget, royal or otherwise. Here, we've rounded up 26 pretty princess picks.

The Best Glass Slipper Wedding Shoes for 2023
Lulus Midnight Silver Holographic Pointed-Toe Heels
Sculptural heels are ultra on-trend, and these four-inch pumps bring the modern update to a classic Cinderella wedding shoe. The pointed-toe pumps are rendered in vinyl with a pyramid Lucite heel. The rhinestone-encrusted embellishment is the perfect finishing touch.
Size Range: 5-11 | Heel Height: 3 inches
Disney X ALDO Glassslipper in Turquoise
ALDO, one of our go-tos for wedding event footwear, actually teamed up directly with Disney on this Cinderella-inspired shoe, made with a lucite heel, leather sole and transparent upper embellished with rhinestones. In turquoise, it can double as your something blue, but the design is also available in pink and clear. Pair it with the Cinderella storybook clutch from the same line.
Size Range: 5-11 | Heel Height: 4.25 inches
Bella Belle Norah Blue Heels
A departure from the many varieties of PVC and vinyl "glass slippers," these mesh and blue silk heels are dainty and oh-so-feminine. Looking to Cinderella's sky blue gown as inspiration, these feature sequined rose petals and beaded embellishments that shimmer in the moonlight, with an ankle strap and cool cutout design.
Size Range: 5-10 | Heel Height: 3.5 inches
Aquazzura Seduction Slingback Flats
The ultimate fairytale flat, this Italian-made slingback features crystal-embellished straps, a glass slipper upper and brightly mirrored leather on the sole and heel that speaks to yet another fairy tale: "mirror, mirror, on my shoe…" We'd wear these again and again post-wedding, with cropped black pants à la Audrey Hepburn or paired with a cocktail dress.
Size Range: IT35-42 | Heel Height: Flat
Jessica Simpson Jaisey Sandal
The peep-toe slingback is a wedding shoe silhouette as classic as the Cinderella story itself, but this one gets a modern princess-inspired update with studded details on the clear upper. The synthetic material disappears against your foot, making your skin look practically bedazzled.
Size Range: 5-12 | Heel Height: 3.9 inches
Jeffrey Campbell Clear View Wedge
Don't let a grassy venue stop you from living out your Cinderella dreams. These clear heels feature a pointed toe and PVC upper that beautifully mirror the famed glass slipper, but rest on a four-inch acrylic wedge that won't sink in as you walk down the aisle.
Size Range: 6-10 | Heel Height: 4 inches
Cult Gaia Bijan Pearl Clear Stiletto Pumps
Swap shimmering crystals for pretty (and on-trend!) pearls with this bedazzled beauty. We love how this pump combines the preppiness of pearls with a modern edge. So chic!

Larroudé + Melissa Cinderella Glitter PVC Slingback Pumps
A playful and pretty design made from an ultra-unique glitter-infused transparent material, these have all the sparkle and romance of a midnight kiss. A pointed toe, V-cut vamp and flared block heel are chic modern details.
Size Range: 5-10 | Heel Height: 3.75 inches
Betsey Johnson Demi Pump
Only Betsey Johnson could add even more whimsy to an already cheeky concept. She does up this Cinderella shoe with a rhinestone-encrusted cursive "I do" on the vamp. And, it does double duty: The heel's Tiffany-hued sole can serve as your "something blue."
Size Range: 5-12 | Heel Height: 4.25 inches
Nine West Haifa Pump in Silver Metallic
Cinderella may have met her prince in a castle, but beach brides can channel the vibe just as easily. We love these ankle-wrap pumps for tropical weddings, with their sandy Champagne sole and rhinestone-embellished toe.
Size Range: 4-13 | Heel Height: 3.25 inches
Steve Madden Royal Clear Heels
A nod to the playfulness of any fairytale, the lucite uppers of these clear slip-on heels are bubbled with whimsical hearts. Rhinestones edge the border and tie in a perfect bow at the top of the foot. Just be careful: The easy mule silhouette is the easiest shoe to slip off your foot when the clock strikes midnight!
Size Range: 5-11 | Heel Height: 4 inches
Jimmy Choo Alia Pump
For brides looking to make a major statement with their fairytale footwear, Jimmy Choo has concocted just the thing. It's all opulence, covered heel to toe in luxe Swarovski crystals of varying sizes and finished with a hand-embroidered crystal cluster on the vamp.
Size Range: EU 34-43 | Heel Height: 3.3 inches
Bella Belle Adora Shoe
A princess deserves to feel comfortable on her wedding day, and this sweet flat offers the best of both worlds. The shoes channel Cindy's glass slipper aesthetic with Swiss-dotted mesh and pretty floral embellishments on the almond-shaped toe.

Size Range: 6.5-9.5 | Heel Height: .39 inches
Christian Louboutin Kate Crystal Embellished Pointed Toe Pump
Another top-tier designer option on our list? Christian Louboutin's famously red-soled crystal pointed-toe pump. The signature silhouette has a whimsical edge with iridescence that throws rainbows around the room as it reflects light. Pro tip: The retailer says these run slightly small, so brides should order one half size up.
Size Range: 6.5-12 | Heel Height: 3.5 inches
Good American Diamonds Forever Heel in Glass002
Leave it to Khloe Kardashian to put a sexy twist on a classic concept—and we're here for it. Her Good American brand's glitzy Cinderella heels showcase bold, statement-making geometric gemstones affixed three-dimensionally to the PVC upper, and a sultry silver stiletto heel. But, fear not: These are crafted with a cloud sole for added comfort.
Size Range: 4-14 | Heel Height: 4.3 inches
Badgley Mischka Cher Pump in Azure Blue
Not one for showing off your toes? Bridal shoe powerhouse Badgley Mischka found a way to incorporate the Cinderella aesthetic into a not-so-glass slipper. These silky pumps come in a pretty shade of blue reminiscent of that famous ball gown, and feature a bedazzled buckle brooch similar to the animated version.
Size Range: 5-11 | Heel Height: 4.25 inches
Anne Klein Irie-C Convertible Pumps
We just love a versatile shoe, and these Anne Klein pumps offer a strap that can be worn multiple ways—behind the ankle or over the foot. This is a glass slipper wedding shoe that can be worn well beyond the wedding day.
Size Range: 5-10 | Heel Height: 2 inches
Laminta Shop Princess Heels
Across the board, handmade shoes from Etsy get mixed reviews—but these Cinderella-inspired heels come highly rated, and the price is right. They feature a low side pump silhouette in a sleek transparent material adorned with a floral crystal embellishment with a sturdy, just-under-four-inch heel.
Size Range: EU35-41 | Heel Height: 10 cm
Stuart Weitzman SW Bow 100 Slide in PVC & New Noir
Stuart Weitzman knows how to combine timeless with trendy better than just about any designer. Here, he does it again, with a pair of classic bows lined with Swarovski crystals atop transparent straps. They create a floating illusion across the foot, while the silvery stiletto and sole add a touch of glam.
Size Range: 4-12 | Heel Height: 3.9 inches
Tony Bianco Laos Heel
We love Aussie designer Tony Bianco's take on a Cinderella shoe for a fairytale garden wedding: Its sculpted heel has a square base that floats across grassy terrain, and the modern embellished bow detail affixed to the PVC upper brings to mind butterflies. Now if only you could enlist some little birdies to hold up your veil as you glide down the aisle.
Size Range: 5-10 | Heel Height: 4.25 inches
Larroudé The Mariah Sandal
A playful pick for summertime soirees, these open-toe sandals combine silver-toned leather with transparent vinyl tied in a pretty bow. Designed by a former Barneys fashion director, the entire Larroudé line is all about making a joyful statement—and what more could you ask on your wedding day? We envision these with a tea-length or high-low gown and colorful accessories.
Size Range: 5-11 | Heel Height: 4.25 inches
Melissa + Y/Project Court Shoe in Clear/White
OK, this shoe actually looks like a cartoon come to life. Two stellar brands teamed up for this conceptual design, our pick for the most literal take on a wedding glass slipper. A blocky kitten heel and mule silhouette are comfortable details, while the curlicue and geometric design are simultaneously playful and regal.
Size Range: 5-11
Marc Fisher Samira Ankle Wrap Pump
The crystal embellishment on this glass slipper wedding shoe is absolutely stunning. Available in both silver and a mint green hue, this pump is sure to add a stylish touch to your wedding-day wardrobe.
Size Range: 5-12 | Heel Height: 4 inches
Manolo Blahnik Invymu 90 PVC and Suede Mules in Light Blue
Our list would barely be complete without a Manolo, the go-to shoe designer for one Carrie Bradshaw. These mules channel our midnight princess in their blue-hued transparent straps. We especially love them for a waterfront wedding.
Size Range: IT35-43 | Heel Height: 3.5 inches
