Apparently whatever the DJ was playing caused Seaborn to dance hard enough to disengage the heel from the sole of her shoes (which appear to be Christian Louboutin’s $1,995 Andaloulou boots, seen above in more intact times). Sheeran, 25, stepped into “knight in shining armor” (or, well, dark-wash denim) mode, and to ensure his his girlfriend of two years wouldn’t go barefoot the rest of the night, he decided to change up his party attire to be more black-sock-centric.
When the couple left the party, Sheeran held her hand as they walked out the door (with her snapped heels in the other) to make sure she didn’t slip and fall wearing his oversized sneakers.
See ladies - chivalry does still exist!
