Condé Nast breaks character on Instagram to post a photo of a pricey heel jamming up the elevator

Condé Nast editors are known for their high-end style and serious demeanor.

But today, the magazine giant's Instagram account broke character by posting a funny photo of a designer shoe that was jamming up the Condé escalator.

Someone in the Condé Nast lobby apparently lost a red-soled Christian Louboutin pump in an elevator grate. And now, people who work at the company's 1 World Trade Center headquarters are sharing shots of the jam.

The first to do so was Michael Deluca, Condé Nast's director of HR. His Instagram account is private. Soon after, director of talent acquisition Katie Turrel got in on the fun, reposting his shot and dubbing the situation #loubigate.

The shoe itself is a classic: a red-soled, black Christian Louboutin pump. This style starts at $675 a pair.

The best part of all of the 'grams — of course — is the comments.
