Paris Hilton won't be the face, or the feet, of Sydney model Jaime Wright's new shoe range because the heiress wanted too much creative control.

Wright has just returned from talks in the United States, where she's been ensuring her Floating On Diamonds high heels are seen on all the right feet.

"I've got a few people, a few celebrities wearing them on the red carpet to get the label out there," she said.

"Sophie Monk has a pair, Nicole Richie is getting a pair after the baby is born.

"Paris is wearing them, she's going to wear them, she's just not going to be the face of them."

Wright's career was launched when Hilton crowned her Ms Bondi Blonde, picking her out of a crowd of bikini-clad hopefuls to become the face of the beer brand during a promotional visit to Sydney in January.

Speaking at the red carpet opening of a new Vivo cafe in Sydney today, Wright said Hilton would still be associated with the footwear until she developed her own range of shoes.

"We discussed her being the face," said Wright, wearing a pair of her own heels.

"She's always wanted to do a shoe range as well.

"We were talking about her coming on board with mine, having a little bit of creative control.

"For me she wanted a little too much creative control, so we just decided that she can do hers and I'll do mine, and she can wear mine until hers are done."

Wright is launching her "extremely high" heels in the US first, ahead of an Australian push next year.
