Dynamic Duo: Seyfried and Lily James

During the promotional events for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, Amanda Seyfried’s stature became a topic of gentle curiosity, especially when she appeared alongside co-star Lily James.

Standing at 5 feet 2 ½ inches (158.8 cm), Amanda looked noticeably shorter next to Lily, who towers at 5 feet 7 inches (170.2 cm).

Amanda Seyfried Wows in Head-to-Toe Lanvin at Red Riding Hood Premiere

In 2011, Amanda Seyfried played the lead role of Valerie in the 2011 film Red Riding Hood, directed by Catherine Hardwicke.

The film was released on March 11, 2011, and received mostly negative reviews from critics. However, it was a commercial success, grossing over $90 million worldwide on a budget of $42 million.

Ever the Hollywood “IT” girl, Amanda Seyfried wowed the crowd when she attended the Hollywood premiere of her new Red Riding Hood in a head-to-toe ensemble from Lanvin.

Seyfried vs. Ricci: The Role of Valerie

Christina Ricci was initially considered for the role of Valerie in Red Riding Hood and was a strong contender, but she was ultimately deemed too old for the part.

At the time, she was several years older than the film’s love interests, Shiloh Fernandez and Max Irons. Ricci had previously played a werewolf in Cursed (2005) and a human with a pig face in Penelope (2006).

Allow me to stray off-topic here, but can I say that her face reminds me of Goldie Hawn’s – big eyes and a big smile? Can you see what I’m seeing?

The Heels Have It: Analyzing Seyfried’s Footwear Choices

Anyway, back to Amanda’s red carpet premiere style, what do you think of it? Aside from the pretty dress, notice how high those heels are.

Oh my, I think I’m in love. Those harness-looking ankle straps did it for me. It’s a very unique detail. And, of course, the pin-thin and high heels are hard to ignore.

I’m guessing the pair will be challenging to walk in, especially since there isn’t enough platform support. You must be “well-heeled” to feel comfortable in those shoes. So what do you think? Love or hate the shoes?

Also, how do you like Amanda’s incredibly constructed plissé sheath dress featuring detailing on the back?
