Brigitte Bardot's ballet flats and diamond rings to be sold at auction
Many of the film star's personal items, on sale in Paris, are priced at under €100.
Brigitte Bardot's personal items, including ballet flats, diamond rings, and the Kama Sutra, are being auctioned on Monday with donations going to her animal charity. Fans have flocked to the Drouot sale rooms in Paris to view over 300 items from her two homes in Saint-Tropez and Paris. Bardot, a prominent figure of the late 20th century, was a model, actress, and later a leading animal rights activist.
Her secretary, Frank Guillou, notes that each item holds a memory of her life and career. The sale features a mix of furniture, clothing, religious items, kitchenware, and personal belongings like a typewriter, jewelry, and ballet flats - the latter made famous by Bardot as a trained ballerina. The auction, organized by Millon auction house, aims to benefit both Bardot's animal charity and her son, Nicolas-Jacques Charrier.
Her love for animals is evident in the collection of pet accessories and her strict burial protocol for her deceased pets.
