Manolo Blahnik Swan Pumps, $1295 via Neiman Marcus

Despite the fact that I’m not a fan of any of the Twilight books or movies, the vampire romance has created a cultural juggernaut that’s impossible to miss, no matter how much I’ve tried. (And believe me, I’ve tried.) I don’t mind the ubiquitousness at all, though, as long as the end result is a pretty pair of shoes to stare at. With the impending release of Breaking Dawn, it looks as though that’s exactly what the movie has brought us.

If you’ve read the final book in the Twilight series, you know that it (apparently) contains a very important wedding. During that scene in the movie, Bella wears the aptly named Manolo Blahnik Swan Pumps, which Blahnik designed especially for the occasion.



I’m not one for gimmickry, particularly when it’s a gimmick associated with something I already dislike, so I was prepared to dismiss these shoes before I even saw them. As it turns out, though, they’re great wedding shoes. A closed-toe pump in classic white satin with a luxurious rhinestone flourish is perfect for a fall or winter wedding. If you’d rather wear them for a different occasion (or you just want your wedding shoes to be non-traditional), the same style also comes in black and bright pink). Buy through Neiman Marcus for $1295.

    This may be the only good thing to come out of Twilight. Oh, this and Taylor Lautner’s abs.

    I like the pink version in particular. And I don’t even like pink. I wish it came in a beautiful blue, though.

    I just saw the movie a couple hours ago (I was sucked into the Twilight craze – no pun intended) and thought that she shoes were beautiful. They are so exquisite. If I had the money, I would purchase these just to look at. Wow.

    These don’t have the staying power of the Something Blue from Sex and the City or even the d’orsay from the shoe stealing episode.

    Plus, Twihards are a younger demographic who can’t afford $1295 shoes, and let’s hope by the time they get married they have found style apart from Twilight.

    But, they’re cute, I suppose.
