The Ruby Slippers were worn first by the Wicked Witch of the East and then by Dorothy Gale, in the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. In the original book, and in the 1902/1903 stage version, by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the shoes are Silver Slippers. But those involved in the making of the film found the silver to wash out in comparison to the riotous colors in their Technicolor production. And so red was the color of choice.

The red ruby slippers in The Wizard of Oz gave Dorothy Gale a most patriotic look what with her wearing a blue-and-white dress.
As of December 2010, the theft of the ruby slippers from the Judy Garland museum remains unsolved.
