While those patent-leather Mary Janes speak to your innocent and angelic ways, the evening may call for something with a devilish touch:

The Dolce & Gabbana Stiletto Sandals are your chance to fire up your look, a lace-covered satin platfrom with skinny heel and patent leather trim.  A patent leather ankle strap and metallic lining will give your look that extra kick.
If you can balance on the 4.5″ stiletto heel.
