JESSICA Alba is the latest celebrity to be seen strutting her stuff in Stella McCartney’s infamous platform shoes. But we have to ask, would you fork out $1,080 for these trendy treads?

Short answer? No. And yet, the chunky brogues have been popping up on catwalks and on the perfectly manicured feet of the rich and famous for a few months now.

The 34-year-old actress donned the black, white and beige lace-ups while filming an advert for her business venture The Honest Company, styling up her all-black ensemble.

The statement design, from Stella McCartney’s Fall/Winter 2014-2015 collection, features a wooden mid-soles, a saw-edge rubber sole and a seriously chunky squared toe. And, for a cheeky $1,080, you can purchase your very own pair.

Oh, and they’re also available in a nude pink, metallic silver and even a funky star print.

Blogger and fashion designer Chiara Ferragni was one of the first to model the pricey platforms.

They look super comfy and there’s about three inches of height in these bad boys, but, at more than a grand a pop, you’d hope you didn’t cop too many Bozo the Clown jokes while wearing them.
