Debby Ryan brought understated elegance to the red carpet at the 2019 InStyle & Warner Bros. Golden Globe After Party, reminding us why her fashion moments continue to resonate years later. Standing at 5 feet 5 inches (165.1 cm)—just above the US women’s average height of 5 feet 4 inches (162.6 cm)—the actress and singer often turns to statement footwear to elevate her looks.
With a shoe size 8.5 (US), Ryan perfectly balanced glamour and comfort in her velvet Chloe Gosselin platform sandals, paired with a bead-embroidered lace dress by Elie Saab that remains a timeless red carpet choice.

Debby Ryan Dazzles in a Pale Blue Cutout Dress with Bold Accessories at The Way, Way Back Premiere
Thanks to her excellent fashion sense, Disney star Debby Ryan always captures attention when she steps onto the red carpet. While she’s had many style hits, she’s also had a few fashion misses along the way.

In June 2013, the leggy actress hit the red carpet at the premiere of The Way, Way Back during the Los Angeles Film Festival. She flashed her legs in a pale blue dress, which suited her skin tone well.
The problem, however, was that the silhouette was not very flattering. She also carried a red/black clutch, which seemed random and didn’t fit her blue ensemble.
We do love her soft makeup, though. And, of course, we didn’t miss her interesting wedges!
Debby Ryan completed her look with eye-catching blue wedges featuring clear, glitter-filled Perspex platforms

They appeared a bit small for her, with her big toe slightly hanging over the edge. That said, these wedges are undeniably unique! While transparent heels are common, this pair stands out like no other.
The platforms and wedge heels were crafted in clear Perspex, speckled with glitter and scattered black sequins for a truly one-of-a-kind effect. Shaped vamps and slingback straps added balance to the bold design, making these wedges a striking red-carpet choice.
Debby Ryan stepped out in Giulietta New York shoes featuring striking blue wedges with clear, speckled Perspex platforms from the brand’s Spring 2013 collection
Far from being just another pair of statement shoes, these wedges came from Giulietta’s Spring 2013 collection—a brand founded in 2011 by Italian creative director Sofia Sizzi.
Known for its elegant, vintage-inspired aesthetic, Giulietta draws on the timeless glamour of 1960s and 1970s European cinema and icons like Monica Vitti and Brigitte Bardot. Sizzi’s vision marries sharp lines, bold colors, and luxurious fabrics with a modern sensibility, often weaving in geometric prints and intricate pleating.
