Shoe-per duper fête

THE soon-to-open Noel Shoe Museum hosted a gala last week, and Mayor Eric Adams was among the VIPs who donated footwear to the Upper East Side shrine to stilettos. Hizzoner’s brother, Bernard Adams, brought the kicks to the event at the Metropolitan Club. “They aren’t sexy,” Bernard said of the shoes, “but I can tell you one thing; these shoes have a lot of mileage, because the man works hard. He really loves this city.” He added, “We were at the Gracie Mansion and I said, ‘Listen, take your shoes off so I can bring them over.’” Other shoes donated include Hunt Slonem’s paint-covered sneakers, Fern Mallis’ lime green Manolo Blahnik heels and Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia’s custom Vans. Guests played bingo for prizes before following a fiddler down the street to Oh La La Supper Club for an afterparty. Gala guests included Anthony Haden Guest, Nikki Haskell, Omar Hernandez, Jean Shafiroff, Slonem, Robert Verdi, and museum board members Billie Bailkin, Susan Gutfreund and Carolyn Maloney.
