Mackenzie Foy’s 5’2″ Style Secret: The Best Red Carpet Shoes for Petite Women

Since her breakout role as Renesmee Cullen in The Twilight Saga, Mackenzie Christine Foy has transitioned from a child star into a sophisticated fixture of the fashion world.

Born on November 10, 2000, in Los Angeles, California, the actress has spent over a decade refining a red-carpet aesthetic that balances her ethereal features with high-fashion footwear choices.

Standing at 5 feet 2 inches (157.5 cm) tall and wearing a size 6 (US) shoe, Foy has become a style inspiration for petite women, frequently using specific shoe silhouettes to maximize her frame.

Mackenzie isn’t alone in mastering the art of styling a shorter frame on the red carpet — a challenge she shares with many of Hollywood’s most stylish petite stars.

Whether she is opting for leg-lengthening stiletto sandals or vintage-inspired Mary Janes, her footwear selection is a masterclass in proportion and poise.

Below, we look at her shoe size, height, and most memorable designer moments.

Mackenzie Foy’s Style Evolution: Petite Red-Carpet Looks & Signature Shoes

Mackenzie Foy’s refined ease was on full display when Foy stepped out to support close friend Joey King at the Los Angeles premiere of Netflix’s A Family Affair—a romantic comedy starring King alongside Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron—underscoring that the appearance was as much about friendship as it was about fashion.

Her petite stature becomes especially noticeable when she’s photographed alongside much taller stars, such as director Ashley Avis, who stands at 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m).

The height contrast highlights Foy’s graceful posture and ability to carry bold fashion looks even with a smaller frame.

“Being on Twilight, that was my first film. So everything I learned on that set, I was learning for the first time,” Foy told ET at the Nutcracker premiere in November 2018.

“That was a film that I really knew, and understood what a film is and how it worked. So anything that I did in that process really prepared me for the rest of my career.”

“I do. I do try to. They were just amazing people,” she said about keeping in touch with her Twilight parents. “I have so many wonderful memories just working with them and hanging out with them. So I do try to talk to them.”
