Annabel loves these… because at the foot of every great woman is a fantastic pair of courts. The American grand master of to-die-for heels, Brian Atwood, has created these stunning black platform court shoes, embroidered with flecks of metallic colour. They're traffic-stopping, head-turning, master-of-the-universe shoes… and we're completely smitten.
