Adrianne Palicki, the statuesque American actress who stands at an impressive 5 feet 11 inches (180.3 cm) in height, has carved out a strong presence in both television and film. Best known for her roles in Friday Night Lights, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Orville, John Wick, and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, she’s not only recognized for her action-packed performances but also her commanding red-carpet style.

While Adrianne Palicki’s statuesque height naturally commands attention, her strategic footwear choices often elevate her presence even further. On The Orville red carpet, as seen here, she stands out, even alongside her stylish co-stars Penny Johnson Jerald (5’4.5″), Jessica Szohr (5’5.5″), and Anne Winters (5’1″). Notice how their diverse heel heights and shoe styles contribute to each woman’s unique silhouette, with Adrianne’s selection consistently enhancing her commanding stature.

Adrianne’s heels were a highlight of the look — a stunning pair from the Cesare Paciotti Spring 2013 Collection, aptly named “Andrea.” Crafted from strappy nude leather and embellished with crystals, the sandals added an elegant yet modern edge to her vintage-inspired gown.

Cesare Paciotti is a luxury Italian fashion brand founded in 1980 by designer Cesare Paciotti, building on his family’s shoemaking legacy that began in 1948 with his parents, Giuseppe and Cecilia.

Renowned for its bold, sensual aesthetic and signature dagger logo, the brand is celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship, premium materials, and fashion-forward designs that merge Italian tradition with daring innovation.

This style features a strappy nude leather upper embellished with crystals. While the effect of the straps at the vamp isn’t new, the strap around the ankle with a cutout detail makes these sandals unique.

We couldn’t find these Cesare Paciotti sandals online, but here’s another version in metallic patent leather:
