In December 2017, Anna Kendrick showed off a vintage Gucci dress during the “Pitch Perfect 3” premiere, opting for a sparkly burgundy-and-black mini dress from the label’s Fall 2006 collection.

The high neckline and long sleeves gave the illusion of a simple design, but the back revealed a sexy cut-out detail.

Standing at 5’1″, Anna Kendrick often uses high heels to boost her height and elongate her legs. This outfit is another example of how she achieves a taller appearance, pairing a mini dress with over-the-knee Giuseppe Zanotti boots, which add inches and create a striking, leg-lengthening effect.

Her frequent choice of high heels aligns with her desire to enhance her petite frame, a common theme in her style approach.
