Rowan Blanchard, the 5’4″ (163 cm) actress widely recognized for her lead role as Riley Matthews on Disney’s Girl Meets World, showcased a distinct shift in her personal style at the Tiffany & Co. Men’s Collection launch on October 11, 2019, in Los Angeles.

While she previously listed herself at 5’5″ on social media, the size 7 actress often utilizes specific footwear silhouettes to complement her petite 110-pound frame.

For the event at the Hollywood Athletic Club, she opted for a Giuseppe Di Morabito Fall 2019 chainmail dress. The gold, ’90s-inspired piece featured a handkerchief hemline and a plunging neckline.

The dress was styled with a sleek, brushed-back hairstyle and smoky eye makeup, allowing the garment’s metallic texture to remain the focal point.

The Jimmy Choo “Minny” sandals distill evening footwear to its most refined essentials: a slim toe strap, a barely-there ankle strap, and a needle-thin stiletto that typically comes in two heights (the wearable 85mm and the more dramatic 110mm).

Often described by editors as the red carpet’s quiet “workhorse,” the silhouette is designed to recede rather than compete—delivering height, polish, and a seamless, leg-lengthening line that reads effortlessly elegant against even the most statement-making gown.
