‘Bridgerton’ fans are dropping hundreds of dollars on dainty, sassy pumps — and turning NYC into a royal runway
NY Post
“Marie Antoinette” and “Bridgerton“-inspired shoes are inspiring the latest footwear that New York City fashionistas are strutting down the Big Apple sidewalks in, treating them like the queen’s ballroom.
With the popular period drama‘s Season 4 Part 2 landing on Netflix Thursday, Feb. 26, fans are stepping into off-screen fantasies by wearing dainty, “coquette” Regency-era (1811–1820) shoes that mix romance, drama, and a touch of sass from stores like Upper West Side’s Sole, West Village’s Screaming Mimi’s and John Fluevog Shoes in Soho and Dumbo.
Think satin bows, pastel silks and Versailles-worthy embellishments paired with Regencycore heels — proof that in NYC, Marie Antoinette’s closet is alive and well.
With two NYC stores in Soho and Brooklyn, shoe designer Fluevog has emerged as the crown jewel for Regency-loving fashionistas, with fans buzzing over pairs like the Bishop Buckled Loafer Heels ($449), Sabrina Lace-ups ($349) and Zoe Lace-up Heels with Embroidery ($399).
Arabella Barros, creative director for John Fluevog Shoes, says the recent obsession with Regency-era shoes is more than just about wearing pretty footwear.
