Alix Earle’s Height and Sizing Secrets: Launching Reale Actives in Jimmy Choo “Brigitte” Mules and Staud

After consistently driving sales for the products she endorses, Alix Earle has officially stepped into founder territory with the launch of her skincare line, Reale Actives.

To celebrate the debut, the 5′6″ (168 cm) influencer took her signature polish to new heights—quite literally—appearing atop the Empire State Building on Monday afternoon in an all-ivory Staud ensemble, finished with sleek white Jimmy Choo heels.

While the look read effortless, Earle has previously revealed on TikTok that she often sizes up for shoots, once wearing a size 41 (EU) / US 10 despite typically wearing a 37 (EU) / US 6—padding the extra space to perfect the fit and maintain a flawless, camera-ready silhouette.

Earle later appeared on the Today Show, where she was asked about the possibility of becoming the next lead on The Bachelorette. This follows ABC’s cancellation of the show’s 22nd season after its supposed lead, Taylor Frankie Paul, became embroiled in controversy due to a resurfaced 2023 video showing a violent altercation with her ex-partner.

Alix Earle looked effortlessly fresh in white, confidently showing off her toned legs despite the chilly weather.

Alix Earle Elevates Her Ivory Launch Look With White Jimmy Choo “Brigitte” Mules

Alix Earle balanced modern minimalism with a soft, feminine edge for her appearance at the Empire State Building. I loved how polished and elevated the look was, with just the right amount of boldness to make it stand out.

Earle slipped into the Jimmy Choo “Brigitte” mules, the open-back, peep-toe version of the classic pumps that celebrities have been wearing a lot lately. This pair looked even more striking, thanks to the sculpted upper in high-shine patent leather.

Like the original pumps, the mules featured a softly curved front and subtle stitched detailing that added depth, giving the heels a refined yet fashion-forward silhouette. Set on 4-inch stiletto heels, they added height while creating a leg-lengthening effect.

You can get these Jimmy Choo mules for $850 at Farfetch and Mytheresa.

Alix Earle Keeps It Polished in an Ivory Staud Brocade Mini and Matching Jacket

Alix Earle paired the sleek, modern mules with the “Mimi” shiny ivory metallic brocade satin dress by Staud, known for blending minimalist design with bold, contemporary flair. This look delivered exactly that. The sleeveless mini featured a clean boat neckline, keeping the look elegant and balanced. What really elevated the dress was the intricate botanical embroidery woven into the fabric, adding texture and depth that made the ivory tone far more interesting than a typical white mini.

Its hemline sat several inches above the knee, highlighting her legs, while the tailored fit skimmed her frame in a flattering way. It was secured with an invisible back zipper, keeping the silhouette smooth. Get it for $450 at Nordstrom.

Earle layered the look with the matching “Halton” metallic brocade jacket, $650 at Neiman Marcus, crafted from the same ivory fabric. Designed with a spread collar, front buttons, long sleeves with buttoned cuffs, and side-welt pockets, the jacket introduced a more relaxed, structured contrast. Its slightly longer length partially covered the mini dress, adding a refined, polished finish.

Soft Waves, Pink-Toned Makeup, and Minimal Jewelry Complete the Look

Accessories were kept minimal, with delicate rings and simple earrings. At one point, Alix Earle added sleek sunglasses, bringing in an extra touch of cool. Her long blonde hair was styled in soft waves, while her makeup stayed fresh with pink tones across her eyes, lips, and cheeks.

Why Jimmy Choo’s “Brigitte” Mule Is the Defining Power Heel of the Moment

What makes Alix Earle’s choice feel especially current is that the Jimmy Choo “Brigitte” isn’t just another peep-toe—it’s a deliberate reinvention of the silhouette for a new generation. Introduced as part of the brand’s 2025/2026 lineup, the style modernizes a once-classic shape with sharper, more architectural lines, transforming it into something far more directional.

At the heart of the design is the sculpted, high-cut vamp, curved into a subtle “V” that frames the foot and creates a more secure, contoured fit than traditional mules. Paired with a softly rounded peep-toe, the effect feels intentionally retro yet undeniably modern—an answer to years of pointed-toe dominance. Even the understated stitched detailing across the toe adds structure, echoing the design language seen in the Brigitte pump family.

Set on a 100mm (approximately 3.9 to 4-inch) stiletto heel and rendered in high-shine patent leather—like the glossy white pair Earle wore—the mule balances polish with ease. It’s this duality that defines its appeal: formal enough for a high-profile launch, yet relaxed enough to feel effortless.

In many ways, the Brigitte functions as Jimmy Choo’s answer to the “clean girl” aesthetic—a refined, minimal heel with just enough attitude. It’s not just a shoe; it’s a “power mule,” designed to transition seamlessly from red-carpet moments to modern, business-adjacent dressing.
