Cute from Faraway but Faraway from Cute

So I saw this picture of Eva Mendes at the Independent Spirit Awards and I immidieatly noticed her shoes! Here is the thumbnail I saw first:

 

All I really see is the light tourquise shoes on her tan skin, and I think it's going to be good. Then I get a little closer. 

Still not bad, but I could do without the extra strap thing around her ankle. Then I get way up close.

Ugh, so disappointing! They had so much potential! They compliment her dress well and the color looks good against her skin, but somehow up close they just lose all appeal. 

Update: These shoes are all over the place!
