Rosario Dawson’s Height, Heels & Fashion Evolution: 15 Standout Looks That Define Her Style

Rosario Dawson has long paired the visibility of blockbuster roles with a thoughtful, outspoken approach to equity in Hollywood—and that same sense of purpose shows up in what she wears.

Standing 5’6¾” (169.5 cm) tall and wearing a US shoe size 9, she gravitates toward looks that balance polish, personality, and comfort, whether she’s in sculpted pumps, statement boots, or vibrant pieces from her own label, Studio One Eighty Nine.

Her style blends Hollywood glamour with conscious choices: jewel-tone gowns, tailored suiting, pink tiger-print boots, and artisanal prints that reflect her commitment to ethical fashion.

Because this article revisits several standout looks from different years, we’ll begin with her October 2022 appearance at the Los Angeles screening of Below the Belt, then work our way back through her evolving shoe style and red-carpet moments.
