| Description |
- This pair of original 1940’s ladies’ shoes was worn by the character Eva Peron portrayed by actress Madonna in the 1996 motion picture “Evita”
- The open toed champagne satin pumps with buckled ankle straps have champagne and gold mesh strap vamps and have three-inch heels with leather soles
- These shoes were most likely worn with one of the many summer dresses or the beaded sheath dress worn during the Rainbow tour in Rome

- The asset is accompanied by a letter of authenticity verifying their use by Madonna in the production from the costume house
