The Heels Celebrities Under 5'4" Love to Wear
For as long as we can remember (or as long as we've been enamored with fashion, rather), we've turned to other women for style ideas. Whether they're actresses, musicians, writers, or the ilk, there is something wonderfully collaborative about the notion of drawing inspiration from another woman, which is why if they happen to share a similar attribute with you—like having a petite stature—it can prove even more useful.
Today we're shining the spotlight on some of our favorite celebrities who are 5'4" and under to show which heels they're reaching for right now. From weekend ensembles that are perfect for running around all day in to red carpet appearances you can re-create for your next night out, the celeb looks below are sure to make you and your shoe closet very happy.
The Heels: Schutz
This budget-friendly footwear label is perfect for versatile heels you can wear year-round. Seyfried paired hers with a structured romper for a red carpet appearance.
The Heels: Jimmy Choo
Technically Moretz is 5'4" on the dot, but we're taking a cue from her anyway. She teamed a ruffled pink blouse with a fire engine–red fluted skirt and accessorized with strappy sandals.
The Heels: Vagabond
We're currently obsessing over Vagabond's affordable footwear, and it appears Roberts is in the same boat. She wore hers with a matching set and white-framed sunnies while out running errands.
The Heels: Chloe Gosselin
If you're ever in need of perfect party shoes, look no further than Chloe Gosselin. The brand is chock-full of festive options that'll consistently take your look up a notch.
The Heels: Malone Souliers
This footwear designer does an artful job of incorporating interesting lines and silhouettes into her footwear. For a pair of heels that add a touch of elegance, go with Malone Souliers.
The Heels: Christian Louboutin
Another 5'4" celebrity we're breaking the rules with, but we can't help but take inspiration from Kunis's cool, downtown-inspired style.
The Heels: Celine
These Phoebe Philo–era heeled snakeskin boots are the trend worth investing in. Olsen wore hers with an oversize black coat while out at the WSJ Innovator Awards.

The Heels: Fendi
Hudgens's bohemian flair shines through with this ensemble. She styled a plush coat atop a mint green gown and finished off the look with a top-handle bag and Fendi pumps.
