Back in September 2016, Ellie Goulding turned heads at the Bridget Jones’s Baby world premiere in London—a fitting appearance given that her soaring ballad “Still Falling for You” was the film’s lead soundtrack single.
Released just weeks earlier, the mid-tempo anthem quickly became a fan favorite, capturing the thrill of falling in love and perfectly matching the rom-com’s spirit.
At 5ft 4 (162.6 cm) with a US shoe size 8.5, the pop star made a major red-carpet impact with her petite frame in a feather-embellished Marchesa dress, proving once again how thoughtful styling and timeless heels can amplify her presence.

The 29-year-old singer made her presence felt in a tiny feathery dress from Marchesa’s Fall 2016 collection.
The outfit — an open back design and a beaded, feather-embellished sheer bodice — ensured all eyes were on her. She revealed plenty of sideboob in the halter-neck frock and showcased her legs in the thigh-skimming tiered skirt.
