Louboutin revealed she regularly flies from her home in the US to his stores in Paris to snap up the latest designs.

With the average cost of a pair of Louboutin heels priced at roughly £300 it means Ms Steel's collection is worth close to £2million.
Steele, who has a fortune estimated at over 50million, has written over 50 books and is the seventh most popular author in the world.
Her bestsellers include titles such as A Perfect Stranger, Five Days in Paris, Second Chance and A Good Woman.

Many celebrities favour the 46 year old designer's shoes, including Jennifer Lopez who wrote a song called Louboutin to extol the virtues of the heels.
