At the Los Angeles premiere of Zombieland: Double Tap at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood on October 10, 2019, Abigail Breslin (5ft 1 / 154.9 cm, US shoe size 5.5) built her look around a familiar red-carpet formula—using high-impact color and streamlined, leg-lengthening heels to extend her frame while keeping the silhouette clean and uninterrupted.

She paired a hot pink Jill Jill Stuart gown with Stuart Weitzman “Sohot” platform sandals, using the brand’s signature minimal straps and elevated platform to balance the dress’s deep neckline and thigh-high slit.

The result is a familiar red-carpet strategy—keeping the shoe clean and architectural so the silhouette reads long and uninterrupted.
This kind of barely-there platform sandal has become a reliable styling tool on premieres and press tours, offering height and stability while maintaining a light visual footprint that doesn’t compete with bold color or fabric movement.
