But while Malaika likes shoes that look good on her feet, she emphasises she's not into quirky footwear. She has a few top of the mind picks.

"I'd say my red six inch pair of stilettos bought from a local market in New York, my Christian Louboutin with signature red soles that are a classic, a nude pair that goes with almost everything, Versace wedges with an all glass (acrylic) edge and pair that's studded with crystals that the little girls in my family love. I also recently picked up Jimmy Choos that light up when you walk and look fabulous and love my flip-flops with little diamantes and flowers."
Will she ever part with her shoes? "Well, I do lend them to my sister but I'd never exchange them for anything, I'm too possessive about them," she grins.
