She’s married to one of football’s biggest stars with a designer wardrobe to match.
But that didn’t stop Coleen Rooney from re-wearing the same pair of shoes she wore to her husband Wayne’s 18th birthday party in 2003.
The Scouse beauty, 36, took to Twitter on Saturday to share a stunning throwback snap of her wearing a busty red dress before heading to a party a week earlier.

Posing for a mirror selfie on the stairs of their £20 million home in Cheshire, the WAG looked nothing short of sensational in the mini dress.
The TV star’s huge chandelier in the background also didn’t go unnoticed as Coleen showed off her bronzed and toned legs for the picture.
Captioning the stunning shot, she posted on her social media: ‘Love that these shoes made an appearance for a fantastic party last week ….. wore them for Wayne’s 18th birthday!!! #vintageheels.’

Proceedings: Her social media comes as she and Rebekah Vardy are set for one last dramatic High Court showdown over their costly ‘ Wagatha Christie’ libel battle (Coleen seen in May)
Her social media comes as she and Rebekah Vardy are set for one last dramatic High Court showdown over who will foot the multi-million-pound bill for their costly ‘Wagatha Christie’ libel battle.
Sources close to Coleen – who won the case last month– told The Mail on Sunday she will fight to make sure Rebekah pays the full amount, estimated to be up to £3million.
Usually a winning party will still have to pay about 30 per cent of the costs.
But Coleen’s team claim the judge’s damning judgment that Becky did sell stories about her to The Sun newspaper means it is ‘inconceivable’ that she won’t be made to pay the full amount.
Mrs Justice Steyn ruled that Becky, 40, and her agent Caroline Watt had leaked stories about Coleen, wife of ex-England skipper Wayne.
Rebekah sued her former friend for libel over a now-famous social media post in which Coleen described setting up a ‘sting operation’ by posting fake stories to selected followers on her private Instagram account to uncover who was leaking stories about her to The Sun.
The ‘big reveal’ post in October 2019 ended: ‘It’s… Rebekah Vardy’s account.’
After Rebekah brought legal action, Coleen, 36, offered her a ‘drop hands’ offer, which meant they would both walk away, paying their own costs. She also suggested they make a charity donation.
But Rebekah declined, leading to a costly High Court trial. Now, after her victory, Coleen wants her rival to pay up.
A source close to Coleen said: ‘Coleen didn’t want this to happen. She knew the money would be better spent on so many other things but she won’t be letting Rebekah get away with not paying the full costs.

‘She tried to settle this early on but Rebekah wouldn’t have it. And if you look at the outlining of the judgment, it is inconceivable that a judge wouldn’t agree she will pay them in full. Let’s not forget, this action was brought by Rebekah and she lost spectacularly.’
During a preliminary hearing in March last year, the costs were estimated at £1.3million.
Now, after the case’s two-week High Court hearing, reports have claimed the total could be £3million.
Rebekah’s barrister, Hugh Tomlinson QC, reportedly charges £10,000 a day, while his opposite number, David Sherborne, charges about £8,000.
There is speculation that Rebekah and her husband, Leicester City striker Jamie, may have to sell their Portuguese villa to pay the legal bill.
