Cinderella only wishes she had worn a pair of glass slippers like this and I can bet my life she wouldn't have lost them either. Q by Pasquale has created wearable shoes made out of glass only fit for a princess. Being one-of-a-kind, 100% handmade and costing $7,500, these glass slippers literally are only affordable by a princess.

The soles of the slippers are made up of an acrylic glass for durability and transparency and let's not forget the 24-karat gold embellishments.

Check out the pictures for more magic.
