Petite in stature but big on style, Sara Jean Underwood knows how to use sky-high heels to make a lasting impression. Born on March 26, 1984, the American model, television host, and actress rose to fame as Playboy’s Playmate of the Month in July 2006, later earning the coveted title of Playmate of the Year in 2007.
Though she consistently cites her height as 5ft 2in (157.5 cm) on social media, Playboy once listed her slightly taller at 5ft 3in—possibly factoring in the towering heels she’s known for wearing. She’s shorter than Holly Madison, who measures 5ft 5 (165.1 cm).

A former host of G4’s Attack of the Show!, Sara often turns heads on the red carpet by pairing bold mini dresses with platform stilettos that elongate her frame and amp up the glamour.
Kendra Wilkinson is 2 inches (5.1 cm) taller than Sara Jean Underwood. Other celebrities around Sara’s height include Carly Rae Jepsen, Isla Fisher, and Kim Kardashian.

Sara’s shoe size is a US 7. To offer a comparison, the average height for an American woman is around 5ft 4in (162.5 cm), and the average shoe size is between 8.5 and 9. This means Sara is slightly shorter than the average American woman and has smaller feet.
Known for her bold fashion choices, Sara Jean Underwood often turns heads with her eye-catching style. One such moment came in March 2013, when she brought serious glamour to the red carpet in Las Vegas—complete with towering Louboutin heels that elevated her look and stature.

The super sexy Underwood wore a tight, short red body-con dress and no accessories as she posed for cameras. The shiny patent material of Sara’s Mary Jane pumps was the only glam accent in her outfit.

Her pumps feature covered heels and platforms with the signature red Louboutin soles that all shoe lovers crave. I’ve always loved fabulous black heels, so this style is a win in my book.

The fact that they’re so sexy but versatile makes them even better. If styled accordingly, they’d be great for any season.
The Christian Louboutin “Lady Daf” is an iconic high-heeled shoe from the renowned French designer, celebrated for its bold design and luxurious craftsmanship.

Introduced as a sky-high Mary Jane style, the Lady Daf is characterized by its towering 160mm (approximately 6.3 inches) stiletto heel paired with a substantial 2.5-inch platform. This creates a dramatic silhouette while offering some balance to the extreme height.
Christian Louboutin’s ‘Lady Daf’ platform pumps have become a go-to choice for celebrities seeking to make a bold fashion statement. Here are some notable instances where stars have been spotted wearing these iconic heels:
