The unlikely combination of flip-flops and precious metals look set to be high fashion following J-Lo's outing in a pair of 18-carat gold flip-flops.

The singer and actress was seen in a pair of $24,000, 18-carat gold-feathered flip-flops that were given as a gift from her husband Marc Anthony.

"When designers started making them they moved out of the realm of shower shoes," Jackie Robbins, partner in the five-year-old company FlipFlopTrunkshow, told the St Petersburg Times.

Havaianas, high fashion flip-flops imported from Brazil, are very much in fashion with celebrities and are made with leather and often decorated with precious jewels.

The bejewelled flip-flop firmly moves a shoe that was once confined to the beach to high end of luxury fashion.
