She said she deliberately chose heels ‘that weren’t too high’ for her portrayal of Séverine Serizy, a bourgeois housewife who turns to prostitution in Luis Buñuel’s 1967 film Belle de Jour. She opted for mid-height, block-heeled, Roger Vivier courts, which initially received a frosty reception from audiences and fashion experts.
But they eventually became a huge hit. Vivier sold 200,000 pairs in one year alone to customers including Jackie Onassis.
