Red carpets and high heels: I take guilty pleasure in checking

[bettyellen]

9. not going to happen- most actors and performers are much more petite than you would imagine, so....

they try to get the extra height so they can carry off things that barely look "flattering" on models who are 5' 10- 6' with similar heels.

If you look close at a lot of what they were wearing, especially Kim K's robe dress and many of the ones with strategic cut outs- they were designed for models with much longer torsos. Some cut outs were in awkward spots around hip and thighs.
Many of these came right off the runway, could not be shortened in time for the grammys, so they were dragging even though the performers wore extra high heels.

I think Armani is the only one who insists things be retailored to fit these days. Versace only did for some, it appears- like Gwen Stefani. Kim's sleeves and bottom hem should have been 3-4" shorter. Kanye should have pulled a dress that fit her. That was awful.
