How Tall Is Blake Lively Really? Her Height, Shoe Size & Love of Sky-High Heels

“What can I say? I feel good when I’m wearing heels. I feel sexier, attractive,” Blake Lively once admitted — a sentiment that perfectly mirrors her long-standing love affair with sky-high Christian Louboutins.

Standing 5 feet 8½ inches (174 cm) tall and wearing a US women’s size 9, Blake already towers above the average American woman (5 feet 4 inches / 162.5 cm).

Yet she’s never shied away from adding even more height. Instead, she embraces it, often turning to her signature designer, Christian Louboutin, whose sculptural stilettos remain her go-to for red carpets, premieres, and high-glamour photo ops.

Blake slipped into a form-fitting, floor-length gown from Gucci’s Cruise 2015 Collection, pairing the look with delicate fine jewelry that kept the focus on her dramatic silhouette.

Her plunging neckline drew inevitable comparisons to Paris Hilton, who arrived in an equally daring, ultra–low-cut gown styled with classic nude pumps.

Both women embraced bold, skin-baring glamour—though Blake’s confident maternity glow gave her the undeniable edge.
