Liberty Ross steps out in winged booties of freedom, plans to move to London?

By now you know I’m not a shoe person. If you want to talk about shoes, talk to CB. I’m a purse person. But even I had to stop and look through these new Liberty Ross photos and check out her spectacular boots. OMG!! I would never wear them… but they are amazing. They have little wings! They looks so badass! Anyway, Liberty was photographed looking pretty hardcore and tough yesterday in LA. She looks like she’s going to some kind of business meeting, maybe? Or maybe she’s meeting with her divorce lawyer? Also: no ring. Which seems pretty obvious considering she just filed for divorce, so why do people always Ring-Watch people?

So, what’s next for Liberty? In the past – before Rupert even screwed around on her with Kristen Stewart – it was clear that Liberty wasn’t all that happy in LA. So it’s no surprise that sources claim she wants to move back to London:

Now that Liberty Ross has finally filed for divorce from her philandering husband, Rupert Sanders, a step she took on Jan. 25, it’s time for the model to figure out what she wants to do with her life. We’ve learned that the new divorcée, 34, is missing home in London and hopes to move back — far away from Rupert, 42, and his former fling Kristen Stewart!

A friend of Liberty’s spoke with HollywoodLife.com exclusively about Liberty’s next step. While she has to wait for the divorce to be finalized, our insider says that a move across the pond is highly likely.

“For starters, she misses home and may want to relocate to London with her children,” our source says. “I’m sure she’s still trying to figure that out but it’s going to take some time. Things are hectic if you will at the moment, but one she and Rupert come to terms on their divorce, the property, visitation, the money and all that headache I think she’ll probably leave the US. I would if I were her. It’d be nice. A clean, fresh start to a whole new life. Boy, doesn’t that sound good?”

Our insider also tells us that Liberty’s handling the divorce well, as she had nearly six months to come to the decision. “She’s good, she’s doing all right and moving forward with everything as you would expect,” the source says. “She had a long time to think about what she wanted to do regarding divorcing him and she of course thought long and hard and divorce was the conclusion.”

[From Hollywood Life]

A source tells Us Weekly that Liberty “wasn’t very happy, even before all this happened… Rupert put a lot of pressure on her to change her life for him and they moved to L.A. for him. She was such a big deal in England — a bigger deal than him even… They did love each other, but I think she was so unhappy and he was putting himself first [that] it was taking its toll.” Well, now she gets to focus more on herself. While I think she probably would like to move back to London at some point, I also think she’s fine with sticking around LA for a while and checking out what her life would be like as a single LA girl. And reportedly she has a boyfriend in LA too, so who knows?

    Love, Love those shoes!

    • Bubbling says:

      I know, I always like her shoes! Oh and she looks like such a badass to me! I don’t feel sorry for her, rather that “You go girl, do you” thing…

    • Reece says:

      Me too! And the tuxedo tights!

    • bluhare says:

      Gotta disagree. I think they’re try hard.

      • BooBooLaRue says:

        +1

      • stinky says:

        not exactly day-wear, is it!
        i’d only rock ’em from 5:pm-6:am

      • Tiffany says:

        I agree. Little too much for running around during the day.

        I find it kind of disturbing that all of these people have put Liberty on a pedestal for the mere fact that she was cheated on. That would certainly be a bad thing to experience, but that doesn’t say anything about what kind of person she is. The stans confuse me.

      • Michele says:

        Remember, this is the same woman who posted a pic of herself smiling and posing triumphantly over a bunch of designer shopping bags on twitter only 1 day after the cheating pic release. That’s right…an expensive shopping spree was her immediate impulse/reaction upon finding out her husband cheated on her.
        Then she quickly deleted her twitter account. Wise move.

      • Miss Bennett says:

        Michele,
        Just stop! Quit trashing this woman! It’s not her fault that the person you worship had an affair with her husband. As far as I know, the photos you speak of never existed. The day the cheating pictures were published, Liberty Ross changed the settings on her Twitter account from public to private and then quickly deleted the account. Trying to turn this wife and mother, who is by all accounts a nice person, into a monster is despicable. Shame on you.

      • LAK says:

        Michelle, she deleted her twitter account after posting this picture:

        http://i3.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article1174360.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/Liberty+Ross+Instagram

        Until the scandal broke, she wrote a blog for Vogue.com UK that required her to detail her clothing exploits.

        http://www.vogue.co.uk/photo-blogs/liberty-ross/liberty-ross—day-2

        She didn’t update her blog for several weeks after the scandal. when she finally did, this is what she uploaded:

        http://www.celebitchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/liberty.jpg

        I don’t think she’s uploaded anything new for several months now.

      • Michele says:

        Lak, that’s not true. She posted the shopping pic with the caption “Retail therapy” AFTER the drunk Snow White pic. On the day the pics were released she tweeted a simple “wow”. The “Retail therapy” pic then followed a day later. Then she deleted her twitter account.

        I know this to be true because when the pics were released, a friend was DMing me at twitter. She’s younger than me, single and no kids. She was asking me questions about the shopping pic and if it was something I would do since I’m married with a child. I told her for me personally, shopping and hanging out on twitter would have been the last things on mind if I just found out my husband cheated on me. I also told her we don’t know the nature of the Sanders marriage, so this cheating incidence may not have been the first and only time he cheated on her.

        I still have the twitter DMs and a link to the shopping pic. I forgot I still had them until now.

  2. Ailine says:

    Sometimes people cheat on movie sets. She’ll find someone else in no time. Those boots are cool.

  3. gg says:

    Hope she’s happy. She loves her silly boots …
    I see foot surgery in her future. Brace yerself honey, it’s much more painful than those shoes.

    • Annie says:

      Really? My sister needs that surgery. She still wears incredibly high shoes eventhough it hurts her feet and she’s been putting it off for months.

      • DeltaJuliet says:

        I had that surgery (not due to my footwear choices). To say it hurt is putting it lightly.

      • bluhare says:

        A good friend just had it — I assume you are talking bunions — and she’d let it go so long she couldn’t have the easier surgery; had to have the one where they break and reset. Trust me, it isn’t fun. She’s got a high pain threshold and she was hurting big time.

    • DreamyK says:

      ^Word. Feet issues are so painful. The foot has more sensitive nerve-endings per square centimeter than any other part of your body. In other words..ouch, ouch dammit, OMG OUCH.

      Those boots are awesome but then I’m reminded of Aerosmith’s singer, Steven Tyler and his toes of horror:
      http://runrollrepeat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/20120127-073213.jpg

      • The Original Tiffany says:

        WTF was that!?! More warnings before the jump. I’m horrified.

        Goes off to reevaluate my footwear choices.

    • Rachel says:

      You’re all scaring me… I’m planning to have bunion surgery within the next year. I’ve been putting off getting it because I keep worrying about the pain – not so much from the surgery itself but in terms of future mobility. I love my mother, but she has some of the worst genetic traits.

    • Tiffany says:

      All of these comments are scaring me!
      I think I might be getting a bunion thing going on, but my doctor has kind of poo-poo’d me about it (kind of treating me like I am over reacting). I am not eager for surgery, but they mentioned there are braces you can wear to slow it down, and I was all for that…but he seemed to think I didn’t need it. He isn’t a pediotrist, though.

  4. handsome man saved me from the monsters says:

    She just looks like a 40 yr old Kristen Stewart

    • Sue says:

      Not unless Kristen decided to start showering, combing her hair, etc……

    • Micki says:

      Unless Kristen gets lobotomy and reprogramming she’d never look so sexy and confident at 40.

    • karmasabiatch! says:

      Only if Kristen bathed, stopped fidgeting, twitching and lip-biting, washed the oil slick out of her hair and developed some inner peace and an outwardly calm demeanour.
      Then, yeah. She’d look exactly like Liberty.

      • handsome man saved me from the monsters says:

        The awkward hunch, too cool for school sunglasses, still dressing like a teenager – screams kstew

    • bob says:

      She looks like a beautiful giraffe. Go and look at some giraffes and tell me that’s not her spirit animal.

  5. Gaby says:

    I never thought she was a big deal regarding her looks, but here she looks amazing, she sure knows how to wear those clothes, and the awesome boots.

    • booboocita says:

      She’s a true model. Not an actress trying to model, and not a would-be actress doing a little modeling until she gets her acting break. Seeing these reminds me of the 70s and 80s, when there was a bright line between acting and modeling, and the models knew how to sell a look. You go, Liberty!

  6. Mimi says:

    How in the heck do you drive with shoes like that ?!!!

  7. Bored suburbanhousewife says:

    The boots look cool. But just looking at them makes my knees, feet and back hurt.

    • LAK says:

      I’ve been doing alot of dance training lately, the unintended side effect is being able to walk/run in high, high heels. The higher the better.

      Infact, my feet, legs, knees hurt when i wear flats now.

      • mln76 says:

        @Lak that is because you are shortening your calf muscles. You may benefit from doing more stretching on your legs without heels.

      • Bugsrunny says:

        You’re shortening your Achilles, too, which will make you prone to really stubborn and debilitating strains when you’re running or walking in sneaks.

      • LAK says:

        min76 – the kind of training i do includes an hour of stretching my entire body including my leg, thigh muscles, and my feet. All bare-footed because shoes restrict the stretch in your feet.

        One would say that i am hyper extended now. And the consequence is i can’t spend longer than 30mins in flat shoes without my feet and leg muscles aching.

        i consulted with a sports physiotherapist and a bone surgeon about it, and they came to the same conclusion.

        My feet/legs are now better suited to high heels.

        Amazingly i have no bunions or deformed feet from the high heels and pointe work.

      • Bugsrunny says:

        Man, @Lak, you must be in amazing shape. But you should def. check this out to read what scientists found when they studied how high heels affect gait and muscle/tendon recruitment. It’s fascinating, if nothing else: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/25/scientists-look-at-the-dangers-of-high-heels/

      • mln76 says:

        @Lak I’m glad you are consulting a PT as Bugsrunny said you should be aware about strains. That being said rock the heels and wear short skirts with what must be an amazing set of legs!

      • LAK says:

        @Bugsrunny/min76 – The irony is that i hurt my knees and ankles from decades of playing field hockey. Had to retire when the pain became too much to bear. I took up dance training to strengthen/lengthen my leg muscles. go figure.

      • bluhare says:

        I’m a high heel gal, but then I’ve got feet with a “high rigid arch” as a podiatrist told me. I can walk all over town on four inch heels no problem.

      • LAK says:

        Bluhare – i’ve got a high arch too. that’s another added factor to my comfort in high heels.

    • Ellie66 says:

      Lol! Me too! They are awesome but ouch!

    • GoodCapon says:

      This is pretty much what I feel whenever I see Daphne Guinness’ shoewear.

  8. Ms Kay says:

    Peter Pan high heels shoes?

  9. T.C. says:

    Her outfit is off the hook. She could run into trouble with shared custody trying to go back to England. Sounds like she was happier there but moved here for her husband’s career. Women tend to sacrifice their happiness for their husbands.

  10. Tig says:

    Love the boots- she can pull them off. I would look like someone going to a costume party as the FTD logo!!

  11. marie says:

    here’s the thing for me, even though she is the wronged party and she’s entitled to live where ever she chooses, she has 2 young kids she needs to consider. yes, it makes it a hella-awkward situation and it should be Rupert bending to Liberty’s will but let’s face it, after all these stories he only thinks about himself, so someone (Liberty) must think of the kids. It’s not fair but that’s life.

    Also, Liberty looks good here, I’m a fan of the boots.

    • Annie says:

      I doubt those kids are happy in LA.

      It really is best for them to go to their own country. And Rupert has money so he better fly off to see them often.

      It sucks and we worry about Rob or on people not blaming Kristen for this. In the end everybody is making their own choices except those kids. They are the real victims here. Nobody thought of them before this mess. This is when I think Rupert must definitely feels regret for everything. Obviously it was the worst mistake of his life. To Kristen those kids are probably the last thing on her mind.
      Stupid stupid Rupert. I wonder how it feels to see her relationship just fine while your family is broken.

      • bluhare says:

        If you read stories about the Beckham boys back in England, they miss LA a lot.

        That being said, we moved all over when I was a child and you get over it.

    • Trek Girl says:

      She’s probably not making a bad choice for her children by moving back to London. They moved to LA for Sander’s career, so moving back to London might be putting their lives back in order.

      I don’t see why you would assume she’s making a bad choice, to be quite honest.

      • marie says:

        where did I say she’s making a bad choice? all I said where the kids need to be taken into consideration..

      • Trek Girl says:

        Sorry, it sounded like you were implying that she wasn’t taking their well being into consideration — my bad.

      • marie says:

        it’s alright, after re-reading it I can see where you’d get that idea but I really didn’t mean it that way.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Marie-you’re always so nice 🙂

        I got what you were saying and I agree. I guess it’s all speculation on our part as to whether the kids are happier in LA or London (I would take London over LA in a HEARTBEAT myself. Hell, I’d probably take Cleveland over LA) but I took your comment to mean that they need to try their best to not be too far apart, for the kids’ sake.

      • The Original Tiffany says:

        @Kitten, see the thing is you live OUTSIDE of LA where it is less, expensive, less crowded, but you can still go there in a car.
        You got the beach, the mountains and of course the *ahem* medical prescriptions available.

        No one lives in LA proper, except the weirdos.

      • marie says:

        thanks OKitt. you’re right, it is all speculation and I’m probably projecting a little. When I was younger my step dad was in the Air Force and we flew back and forth between the States and London every couple of months-it was hard being a kid and trying to keep friends in both places..

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        @Tiff-I would live in Cali, no problem. Hell, San Fran-F*CK YEAH. Santa Barbara? YES PLEASE. In my dreams.

        I’m just not a fan of Los Angeles…in fact, I kinda hate it. Additionally, I would never live in any city where I HAVE to drive. I’d go bananas. You know about my road rage problem-that shit is REAL.

        That sucks, Marie. I would imagine that the nomadic lifestyle would be rough on a little kid but you have friends now. Tiff and I will be your friends and family…you can even call me Dad.

        That was a joke BTW…please don’t call me Dad….

      • marie says:

        ha ha ha, that was awesome-thanks for that!

      • The Original Tiffany says:

        My house, if and when I live in it again is about 40 miles east. That’s the closet I get and that is only because of hubby’s job.

        You might like Pasadena if you HAD to go close. San Diego is pretty wonderful too. Last year hit the jackpot with living in SF and SD, albeit with San Jose thrown in.

        Later this year we get Newport Beach, Long Beach and Santa Monica. Pretty great, though the car thing is what it is. Marie-we will definitely take you in.

        I even got to live in Kitten’s neck of the woods this year. How’s the orange line treating you?;)

    • Kate says:

      The other thing that struck me was that his industry means he’s away for 3 months at a time, all over the world (well – if he ever gets to direct more films he is, anyway) so realistically speaking, he won’t be based solely in LA anyway. It isn’t as if he has an office job where he could never take time out to see them, and they are a British family in LA for work, rather than an American one.

      Having said that, if he wanted to block the move he maybe could, so I would imagine she’s got him to agree to the move.

  12. Elceibeno says:

    If Peter Pan was gay he would love to wear those shoes.

    • fabgrrl says:

      It may come as a surprise to you, but being gay does not necessarily make a man interested in women’s shoes.

      Besides, isn’t Peter Pan supposed to be 12-13?

      • elceibeno08 says:

        No, not every single gay man likes to wear ladies’ shoes. I didn’t know Peter Pan was supposed to be 12-15 years old. Must you freaking dissect everything? We are just having some fun here. Someone else here posted a comment about her shoes having wings like peter pan shoes. You should take a chill pill.

  13. Kiki says:

    Liberty looks fierce!She is one hot mama!#Werk

  14. nina says:

    she is so petite, she has great fashion sense.

  15. MonicaQ says:

    Those are the kind of boots I’d buy and then never wear because I’m a 27 year old who can’t walk in heels > 4 inches (I know, sad). It’s nice to see her (seemingly) calm and collected and not running to every media outlet that’ll listen.

    Rupert is going to find out the harsh truth of Buddy Guy’s song: “It’s cheaper to keep her” (e.g. he *probably* shouldn’t have cheated and not have to pay out the nose)

  16. bea says:

    Betsy Ross TOTALLY should have been named Liberty Ross!

    She always looks really pulled together. That nude photo earlier this week was fantastic – sexy and classy. I’m sure she’ll trade-up in the marriage department and do well in her career. His loss, her gain.

  17. SleepyJane says:

    She has such fascinating features. I hope she has a great future ahead of her. In fact, I hope everyone can move on from this whole fiasco.

  18. Dani says:

    Her body is slamming!!

  19. The Original Mia says:

    Love those boots. Would never wear them, though.

  20. Lucy says:

    Good for her, I hope her career really grows and takes off, that would be real payback

  21. Faye says:

    I feel like “Bad to the Bone” should be playing in the background while she’s walking dressed like this. You go, Liberty!

  22. Lindi says:

    Egad there is something about this woman I dislike

  23. Scarlet Pimpernel says:

    She has the same style going on as Justin Theroux … just saying.

    • Trek Girl says:

      The style that Justin Theroux has is not unique to him. A lot of people have that style. Just saying.

  24. Sunnyjyl says:

    I love that whole look on her, even though it looks like she is wearing my marching band pants from high school.

  25. Kate says:

    She just appears to have so much class. Object lesson in how to handle a tom-catting husband, really.

  26. Lulu says:

    Too skinny! Probably stress. It would be a bad idea to move the children a continent away from their father. Isn’t that what the judge decided in the Halle vs. Aubrie case? And what everyone was all up in arms about? We may not ‘like’ Rupert because we know a little bit too much about him. But he is still the children’s father.

  27. mel says:

    Its never ok to move kids away from a parent…you made the choice to have kids together then suck it up. She looks good…a little Elviraish…but good.

    • Ann says:

      But they’re from England. They’d just be moving back home. If he doesn’t like it, HE can pick up and move back to England too – since his actions caused the final destruction of the marriage.

      • bluhare says:

        If you compare this situation to Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry, I don’t think you’d say it was OK for someone to move their children away from their father.

      • Trek Girl says:

        @Bluehare: there’s no sense in comparing this situation to the Halle/Aubry situation.

      • joyce t. says:

        The children are US citizens – both born since they moved to LA.

  28. florencia says:

    She looks soooo amazing!!

  29. Eleonor says:

    This woman dress like Catwoman in her times off!

  30. Bookworm mommy says:

    She seems like a famewhore, she’ll stick around LA so she can have her own reality show. That affair was the best thing that happened to her.

    • sweetpea says:

      and you are a moron for thinking that 😀

    • Janet says:

      Are you KStew’s agent or what?

    • Trek Girl says:

      She has a career of her own. She has been on the covers of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and a bunch of other magazines, as well as being the face of a Dior perfum and Jimmy Choo. She was on the cover of a magazine this month, and had a blog on Vogue.com.

      I don’t know if she’ll have a reality show or not, or what she will do in the future, but it’s absurd to suggest that she doesn’t have anything going on for herself, that she wouldn’t be and isn’t known for something other than this.

  31. megsie says:

    Liberty’s looking more lke herself recently, which is nice to see. Still a bit on the thin side but that’s to be expected, I suppose.

    Liberty’s children were both born in LA. That’s home to them. London is a place to visit. They visit often – uncles, aunts, both sets of grandparents live there – but it’s still not really ‘home.’ So the move would be a serious upheaval for them. New school, new friends. Liberty herself experienced the same sort of upheavel when she was 6 and the family moved back to London from LA, and under very difficult circumstances, too. A bit of history unpleasantly repeating itself here. Strange how that happens.

    On the other hand, the paps and media circus will be less in London. Or at least kinder, so there’s that to consider, too.

    I hope she gets the beach house in Malibu as she’s said that’s her favorite place in the world.

  32. Memphis says:

    I want the whole damn outfit from the boots to jacket!!

  33. KellyinSeattle says:

    Everytime I hear her name, I picture the Statue of Liberty. Would make a great Halloween costume for her.
    She’s a stunning woman

  34. Dahlia1947 says:

    She is looking HOT! WOW! You go girl!

  35. april says:

    Maybe Rupert felt inferior to her and that’s why he needed another woman to boost his ego. She is very beautiful.

  36. aquarius64 says:

    “Give me Liberty…and give me half!!!”

    Liberty to Rupert

    • aquarius64 says:

      This is day 5 (or 6) or this mess and you know Kristen dreads seeing her cheating scandal back in the news. The gossip press, with few exceptions, is not pushing the party lines anymore (“momentary indiscretion”, no-sex, Rupert took advantage of her, etc.) Now that this morass resulted in a divorce and a broken family, the headlines are flat-out saying Liberty pulled the plug because Rupert cheated with Kristen. Even celebs that defended Kristen are not defending her now, and there’s no one new coming out for her. The new narrative in the gossip press is three-cheers-for-Liberty for picking herself up, dusting herself off, and going forward in her life with her children. Rupert and Kristen have bulls-eyes on their backs because the media is going to see to it they come out looking MORE ugly in this. Of course there are sites and mags that are in the tank for “Robsten” love, but the salacious stuff will get them more hits. Money talks; the gloves are off and Kristen and Rupert will take hits. Rob will be collateral damage because he chose to take Kristen back

  37. Ginger says:

    Yah I’m loving her leggings more than the boots

  38. Shannon says:

    My GOD that man was stupid. He gave up this for the grubby chick who lives in Converse at all times.

    • Gabby says:

      I can not stop thinking the same. Liberty bathes and engages in personal hygiene. She looks incredible here. And the mini coop pics show a grubby girl in oversized sweats and looking like its been awhile since kstew took a shower. I am thinking Rupert had issues and insecurities not feeling libertys equal or something.

  39. Mf says:

    Those shoes are badass…and they arent much different than what mrs. Beckham wears during the day..

  40. aquarius64 says:

    Here’s the divorce petition:

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/us-gossip/rupert-saunders-wife-liberty-ross-1561462

    That was quick. TMZ is losing its touch.

  41. Janet says:

    Just saw the naked photos of Liberty Sanders on another web site and all I can say is, Rupert Sanders must have been out of his goddamned mind.

  42. Emma says:

    she looks so cool!

  43. Bamster says:

    The woman likes her symbolism, first the cross to ward off vamps, now wings to give her flight.
