Lana Condor’s Petite Style Secret: Mastering Platform Heels and Jimmy Choo Sacaria Sandals

Lana Condor may be a global household name for her breakout role as Lara Jean Covey in the To All the Boys trilogy, but her red-carpet evolution has proven she is just as much a fashion icon as she is a screen star.

Whether she’s leading sci-fi rom-coms like Moonshot alongside Cole Sprouse or making the rounds at high-profile fashion events, the Vietnamese-American actress consistently uses her petite frame to showcase bold, elevated footwear. While her height is often listed as 5ft 1½ in (156.2 cm), some sources cite her as 5ft 2 in (157 cm)—either way, she wears a US shoe size 5 and frequently wears statement heels to add impact and proportion.

A standout moment in her style journey occurred at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic at the Will Rogers State Historic Park in Pacific Palisades. Joining fellow stars like Sophia Bush, Condor demonstrated how to master daytime elegance with a platform edge.

The American actress looked charming in a light-blue Reformation satin mini dress. It featured a smocked neckline, long sleeves with puffed shoulders, a ruched bodice, and midsection paneling that accentuated her tiny waist.

Hairstylist Kat Thompson styled Lana’s raven tresses in soft waves with a crown braid, while makeup artist Melissa Hernandez gave her look a pop of color with bold red lipstick and highlighted her eyes with winged eyeliner and mascara.

The petite actress, who was adopted by her American parents at five months old, accessorized her look with Adina’s Jewels earrings.

She then carried a white satchel called “Madeline” from Jimmy Choo’s Pearl collection.

The $1,950 bag is made from patent-textured leather and features a rigid briefcase design with a pearl-and-crystal buckle accent on the fold-over top.

Adding several inches to her petite height, Lana slipped her feet into a pair of Jimmy Choo “Sacaria” platform sandals.

Evoking timeless elegance, these sandals from the popular shoe brand are crafted in Italy from white satin and feature an all-over pearl embellishment. They also have about 1-inch platforms and 4.7-inch high block heels.

While Anthony De La Torre stands at 5’9″, Condor is shorter than the average woman in the United States—a fact she leans into by frequently opting for towering, architectural heels that balance her proportions. They married in an intimate ceremony in Malibu, California, in October 2024.
