Diane Kruger is a German actress known for her roles in prominent films like Troy, National Treasure, and Inglourious Basterds. When she started her career in modeling, Diane’s height of 5ft 5 ½ inches (166.4 cm) was noticeable as most models tend to be taller.

Although she claims to be 5’7″ in interviews, her height is often reported as 5’5 ½” (166.4 cm). Compared to the average German woman, who stands at about 5ft 5in (165 cm), Diane is marginally taller.

Her shoe size is 8.5 US, which is common for women in her height range. Diane Kruger is no stranger to boosting her height and elongating her legs with high heels. She often opts for footwear that enhances her overall look.

Known for her impeccable sense of style, she frequently gravitates towards luxury brands like Stuart Weitzman, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, and Olgana Paris, which she’s been spotted wearing on Your Next Shoes.

One of Diane Kruger’s most unforgettable shoe moments came in 2013, when she dazzled in a stunning pair of heels.

In March 2013, the LA premiere for the much-awaited movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s ‘The Host’ occurred at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood. Usually, we compile shoe spots from an event in one post, but this Diane Kruger shoe spot deserved no less than its very own feature.

The German actress and former fashion model arrived at the premiere wearing a Thakoon Fall 2013 sheer-paneled LBD paired with Jimmy Choo’s “Malika” sandals and basically blew everyone away.

The dress was subtly sexy, the sandals cool and unexpected, and even her bold choice of jewelry surprisingly worked.

You wouldn’t think futuristic-looking sandals like the Jimmy Choo ‘Malika’ sandals would work with a daring LBD, but trust the ever-fashion-risk-taking Diane Kruger to convince us otherwise.

We recently saw this silver-and-gold color combo on the Jimmy Choo “Virginia” sandals spotted on Selena Gomez. Do you think a two-tone color makes shoes more versatile, or do you dislike mixing metallics?
