Ruby Rose is standing by the statement "orange is the new black" with her choice of footwear.

Rose shared a video on Instagram showing her bright orange Busemi Alta hi tops, which she writes are: "so good they should never touch the ground, cos orange is the new black."

Rose's Alta trainers were hand made in the Marche Region of Italy and feature a gold plated padlock and a concealed "lift" in the heel which adds two inches of height.

But as much as we're feeling the urge to impulse buy Rose's kicks, we'll have to wait for the next payday (or three), as they'll set you back $890 (around £570) and that's before you factor in international shipping costs.

Ruby Rose has announced that she is "gender-fluid". She says, "I wake up every day sort of gender neutral... Well, if I had to choose it would be a boy, a guy. I feel like I'm a boy, but I don't feel like I should've been born with different parts of my body or anything like that. I feel like it's just all in how I dress and how I talk and how I look and feel, and that makes me happy." Despite this, she says she prefers using she/her pronouns to identify herself.
