How Tall Are the ‘This Is Us’ Stars? Heights, Red Carpet Style, and Shoe Choices Revealed

This Is Us isn’t just a masterclass in feelings—it’s a masterclass in costuming. To anchor the show’s many time jumps, costume designer Hala Bahmet and her team dressed the Pearsons from the 1970s through the near future, using clothes—and crucially, footwear—as quiet timeline markers and character tells.

Jack’s rugged Levi’s 501s met heritage work boots and well-worn lace-ups; Rebecca’s bohemian hats evolved into polished grandma-era looks paired with ankle-strap heels and supple leather boots.

Across the Big Three, shoes chart growth as clearly as the scripts: Kate’s shift from practical flats to brighter, more celebratory sandals; Kevin’s “perfectly polished” actor uniform grounded by sleek dress shoes or rugged boots; Randall’s tidy, tailored world punctuated by desert boots off-duty and glossy oxfords on the red carpet.

That meticulous eye even powered big reveals—the pilot’s era-twist lands because the wardrobe (down to minimalist sneakers and period-correct boots) keeps things plausibly ambiguous—while subtle near-future details (like adult Jack’s techy watch) bridge timelines with style. In short, the show’s fashion isn’t just decoration; it’s story. And the shoes? They’re the exclamation point.

Here’s how the cast stepped into style—on screen and IRL—one pair at a time.

Mandy Moore Balances On-Screen Sneakers and Red-Carpet Heels as Rebecca Pearson

Mandy Moore, who stands 5 feet 9 ¾ inches (177.2 cm) tall and wears a US shoe size 10, portrayed Rebecca across every stage of her life—from a young woman searching for love before Jack to a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother in the present day.

The Candy singer has established herself as a remarkable artist in music and acting. In 2002, she won an MTV Movie Award for her debut performance in A Walk to Remember.

Milo Ventimiglia’s All-American Converse Sneakers as Jack Pearson and Beyond

Milo Ventimiglia starred as Jack Pearson, one of TV’s most adored fathers. To become the wonderful family man we witnessed until his untimely passing in season two, he survived an awful, abusive father and his alcohol problems.

As Jack Pearson, Milo Ventimiglia is often seen wearing casual, all-American footwear, such as Converse sneakers, a style that has become a signature part of his on-screen wardrobe throughout the series.

The actor made his TV debut on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1995, starred in the short-lived series Opposite Sex in 2000, and won fans as Jess Mariano on Gilmore Girls the following year.
