Head Over Heels

Repetto’s Bardot Flats

You’d kill to have looked that good. Those bedroom eyes. That voluminous hair. And a figure so smoking that no one cared that you barely spoke a word of the language.

Apparently, the designers at Repetto can sympathize: This season, they relaunch the Parisian-born ballet slipper first made famous by international screen siren Bridget Bardot.

Walk pretty in the same sheepskin, stage-quality slipper favored by ’50s dancers and ingenues alike (Caroline of Monaco and a young Audrey Hepburn, to name a few). And get a leg up on the selection they offered back in the day with metallics like silver and gold that are new to the collection.

Perhaps this will be just the thing to free the inner sex kitten, Bond girl, and bona fide hottie who’s been aching to get out and take center stage since you tried on your first white bikini. Or not.

Regardless. They’re a step in the right direction.

Available at Sabot, 45 Irby Avenue, West Buckhead Village (404-816-0077).
