Manolo Blahnik Talks Designing Margot Robbie’s Barbie-licious Heels

Blahnik updated his signature BB pumps and Jada mule sandals in shades of pink, made custom to Robbie’s size, but with slightly higher heels. “Pink is one of my absolute favorite colors—from cerise to powder pink,” says Blahnik. “It has been a joy to reimagine these styles in a host of pink hues.”  The designer adds that he was intrigued by the idea of designing with a character in mind. “A Barbie shoe is fun, colorful, and confident,” he says. “The shoes must represent the personality of the character, and I wanted to encapsulate this in the styles I designed.”

At a photo call in L.A., Robbie wore Blahnik’s pink Jada mules with a pink bra top and mini skirt by Bottega Veneta (accessorized with a pink convertible, of course!). Robbie also wore clear PVC mules by Blahnik with a pink Versace chainmail dress, to the premiere in Australia.

While Barbiecore will certainly be everywhere in the big lead up to its premiere on July 21, Blahnik says the doll’s style—and heels!—is forever. “Barbie has always remained modern, and has developed over the decades to speak to each new generation,” says Blahnik. “That’s what it takes to be iconic—relevance and adapting with the times!”  The same could be said for his own shoes.
