Height Doesn’t Define Style: How Cara Santana Embraces Her Unique Look

Not considered tall by any means, Cara Santana’s height of 5ft 4in (162.6 cm) is approximately average for an adult woman in the United States.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average height for adult women in the United States is approximately 5 feet 4 inches (162.6 centimeters).

“I’m so insecure about my legs. I always wished I was 5’9 with legs for days, but instead I’m 5’4, and that means they can only be so long. I’m constantly worrying about them,” she said in an interview.

“Due to this neurosis, I pointedly asked the trainers at the Tracy Anderson Studio in Los Angeles to design a program that tones them without bulking them, elongates and also defines them so that I retain femininity and length while keeping shape.”

This girl may not get enough press apart from news about her and her fiancé Jesse Metcalfe, but she deserves solo time under the spotlight for pulling off a flawless look.

Cara consistently appears on various best-dressed lists for the Hervé Léger by Max Azria show, and we can see why.

Cara paired her gorgeous printed dress with classic Christian Louboutin Pigalles and a gold clutch.

With the print and studding making her dress look very busy, it was a good move to have her hair neatly pulled back from her face, sweeping it into a clean updo.

Those bold eyebrows and lips also tell of her refusal to let her Hervé Léger dress hog all the spotlight.

The dress is mostly rayon, which can imitate the feel of wool, silk, linen, or cotton. We’re not exactly sure how the dress feels, but we trust Max Azria’s genius that the fabric is soft and breathable enough since it fits pretty snuggly.

The sun motif adorned with gold studs gives the dress enough edge and independence—accessories need not be involved with a creation as busy as this one.
