How 5’0″ Kylie Minogue Uses Charlotte Olympia “Vreeland” Platforms to Elongate Her Petite Frame

Kylie Minogue has long been a master of high-low red carpet styling, often bringing a sense of “Pop Goddess” glamour to even the grittiest of rock-and-roll events.

A prime example remains her appearance at the NME Awards on February 17, 2016, at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, where she traded traditional edge for a bridal-inspired aesthetic and gravity-defying footwear.

Arriving to present Coldplay with the Godlike Genius award, the singer chose a monochromatic white-and-silver palette that maximized her petite frame.

The focal point of the ensemble was a pair of shimmering metallic platforms—a signature Charlotte Olympia silhouette that has since become a masterclass in styling towering heels with a mini dress.

The “Spinning Around” singer rocked a white, floral embroidered dress from Blumarine’s Resort 2016 collection, which showcased her shapely legs. The dress featured sheer long sleeves, floral appliques, and a thigh-grazing hemline.

Before entering the venue, Kylie was wrapped warmly in a cream-colored fur coat. She styled the retro-looking frock with minimal jewelry—including her engagement ring—and finished her outfit with silver heels.

Kylie wore her golden tresses in soft waves with a side part and rounded out her look with smoky eyes and pink lips, which made her look younger than ever.

Kylie’s towering “Vreeland” sandals from Charlotte Olympia’s Resort 2016 Collection added a few extra inches to her height.

But Kylie isn’t the only celebrity who adores Charlotte Olympia’s signature heels. The same year, Dakota Johnson wore the same heels at London’s National Portrait Gallery with a “liquid gold” dress by Marc Jacobs and Messika jewelry.

Kylie’s sandals, made of silver lamé fabric, have knotted front straps, buckled ankle-wrap straps, and about six-inch sculpted curved heels. They were inspired by vintage-style icons such as American fashion columnist and editor Diana Vreeland.
