Sexiest Woman Ever Wouldn't Wear 5 Inch Heels

French actress Catherine Deneuve said mid-heels are much more alluring, and blamed ‘twisted’ designers for the modern obsession with five-inch heels that are impossible to walk in. I agree.



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.

    Oh, wait. I should have read past your headline.

  2. Your wife sounds very sensible and I'm sure she'd give Catherine Deneuve some competition.

  3. I’m glad to see so many women rebuff “fashion experts”.
    Comfortable is beautiful.
