A pair of white silk shoes believed to have belonged to French queen Marie Antoinette has reportedly been sold for 43,225 euros (more than $57,000). Of course, this news would be more interesting if we could see a photo of the shoes, but I can't find one. I did, however, find this blog post from writer/photographer Tara Bradford, which shows another pair of the queen's shoes along with her embroidered garters and other pretty things.
