(1 customer review)

$3,000.00

Ruby slippers are the shoes worn by Dorothy (played by Judy Garland) in the 1939 MGM movie The Wizard of Oz. Because of their iconic stature,they are now among the most treasured and valuable of film memorabilia. As is customary for important props, a number of pairs were made for the film, though the exact number is unknown. In L. Frank Baum‘s original novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy wore Silver Shoes. The movie’s creators changed them to ruby to take advantage of the new Technicolor film process.

These ruby shoes / slippers are 9 1/2 inches long and 5 inches high. The interior is pavéd with black Swarovski crystals on the insole and clear ones on the inner sides. The outside of each shoe is paved with 2 layers of ruby pavé. Wendy made these for her Wizard of OZ license in 1985, and they debuted at her Macy’s Boutique in New York where she unveiled her Wizard of OZ line. This is the first time they have been offered for sale. A true collectible.
