Photos: Nick Cannon shows off $2.2m Tom Ford slip-ons last night at the America's Got Talent finale!!!!!

He likes to think of himself as the new Mr Showbiz.

And Nick Cannon certainly added sparkle to his outfit for the America's Got Talent finale by wearing the world's most expensive shoes.

The cheesy television star posed with his thumbs up as he flaunted the $2.2m Tom Ford slip-ons, which he was wearing barefoot.

Smug Nick, 33, seemed delighted by the footwear, which have 14,000 full-cut round white diamonds set onto white gold, with a total carat weight of 340 carats. 

To top off his distinctive look, he was also wearing an eye-poppingly expense looking designer watch.

And it has emerged Nick has been planning blinged up brogues since last year.

Top Beverly Hills jeweller Jason Arasheben, who created the shoes, told Women's Wear Daily: 'Not very often do I get a request for the most expensive shoes in the world.

'When Nick approached me last year, he said he wanted to make history and be so over the top.

He wanted to set a new standard in diamonds. 'How can we make the most expensive pair of shoes in the world and make this finale special?' he asked me.

'We didn’t want him looking like Frankenstein when he walked, we still needed to consider functionality.

'He’s not going to win a race or play basketball with these. It’s still a piece of jewelry. As long as he’s not too overly aggressive in the shoes, everything should be all right.'

Nick should certainly have plenty of extra cash when his divorce from megarich Mariah Carey goes through.

They are said to be warring over the split of their assets, with the diva worth a mammoth $510m, while her estranged other half has a relatively meagre fortune of just $20m

The dynamic duo got married back in 2008, and have two children together, three-year-old fraternal twins Monroe and Moroccan.

How I wish Mat Franco, the magician who won this year's season last night made Nick's $2.2m shoes disappear from him an voila, land here with me in the UAE!!!
