Jennifer Lawrence on Her Height and Struggles With High Heels
In interviews, Jennifer Lawrence has sometimes claimed to be even taller. Her homepage said in 2010 that “I’m 5’7 1/2,” but she’s also given her height as 5′ 9″ (1.75 m) and said in 2013 that “I’m like five eight.”
In a 2013 interview with UK’s Fabulous magazine, Jennifer Lawrence expressed discomfort wearing high heels, saying they make her feel awkward due to her height.
“When I’m in high heels I feel like an ogre, I can’t walk and my feet are uncomfortable,” she said. “I’m at that awkward height where I’m already kind of tall, so when I put heels on, everyone is like: ‘Oh, well, where’s the ball?’
“It’s just that they make me look too dressed up and yeah, I’m terrible in heels.”

She often opts for elegant yet comfortable choices, with brands like Roger Vivier, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Gianvito Rossi, Alexander Wang, and Jimmy Choo being some of her go-to favorites.

Her long, floor-sweeping gold gown received much attention, but my eyes were on her feet. She couldn’t have chosen a better shoe for this Prabal Gurung Fall 2012 dress.

I love how she coordinated her simple studded earrings and toe polish in black to mimic the details in her gown and heels.

As the radiant ‘girl on fire,’ Katniss Everdeen, Lawrence’s ensemble was impeccable. It sparks curiosity about how deeply her stylist drew inspiration from the book for this ensemble.

Jennifer completed the outfit with black Jimmy Choo ‘Bunting’ sandals. Unfortunately, they’ve sold out online, but you can browse more recent Jimmy Choo releases at Mytheresa and Farfetch.

The pink pair is fun, but the black and gold version is fantastic. I’m not brave enough to wear them with a bold gold gown like Jennifer, but I’d pair them with an LBD or black pants.
Giuliana Rancic wore the same style to the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
