Selena Gomez stepped out in a low-heeled Manolo Blahnik suede pumps on Wednesday.
The actress was all smiles as she left the 3rd annual Rare Beauty Mental Health Summit in New York City. The BB pointed-toe heels come in 8 different colors and retail for $725, though Gomez’s pair are priced slightly lower at $665 on the company’s website. The heel measures at 105 mm.
The 31-year-old was seen leaving the summit heading towards her car after speaking on a panel alongside Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy and Elyse Cohen. Gomez is the founder and creator of the makeup and cosmetics line. According to the brand’s website, Gomez chose the name after feeling inspired by her third studio album, Rare. The company says it aims to “break down unrealistic standards of perfection” by promoting inclusivity and addressing mental health initiatives and education.
About the Shoes
The Manolo Blahnik BB is a staple in celebrity closets, including Selena who is a longtime fan of the brand. “Every season I explore and aim to achieve the perfect shape and cut for my court shoe,” Blahnik says of the shoe. “I first designed the ‘BB’, which is named after Brigitte Bardot, one of my greatest inspirations, in 2008 and it became a classic. It’s a good shoe for every occasion.”
