Christian Louboutin, the man behind one of the most coveted brands in shoes, will celebrate the U.S. debut of his limited-edition Marie Antoinette Collection at his pricey boutique in South Coast Plaza on Tuesday.

Shoppers interested in buying the exclusive shoes should be prepared to fork over the big bucks: Only 36 pairs of the shoes exist in the world, and each pair costs a whopping $6,295. The shoes are available in three colors -- pink, blue and yellow -- and were designed in collaboration with embroidery house Jean-Francois Lesage.

Shoppers can meet Louboutin at his namesake store in the mall from noon to 4 p.m.; the Costa Mesa shopping center is the only West Coast stop for the collection.
