The BB courts, Manolo Blahnik
Manolo Blahnik has said that Brigitte Bardot is one of his greatest inspirations. Both sophisticated and sexy, his signature BB pumps take their name from the French actress’ initials. Blahnik’s original court shoes, with their thin, high heels, were popular in the 1970s, and were worn by celebrities like Marianne Faithfull and Bianca Jagger. Reintroduced in 2009 as the BB, the style was an antithesis of other shoes of the time.
