Jessica Alba has often been listed as 5 feet 7 inches (169 cm), though in a 2002 Q&A session, she stated, “I’m 5’6″ and a half,” and humorously mentioned in 2019 that she feels she’s “shrunken” slightly. Her daughter, Honor Marie Warren, is already taller than Jessica.

She wears a U.S. shoe size 8, which converts to a European size 38-39, a UK size 5.5-6, and a Japanese size 24-24.5.

Despite being taller than the average woman, Jessica Alba often chooses high heels to further enhance her posture and add a touch of elegance to her outfits.

On Your Next Shoes, she’s been featured wearing designer heels from renowned brands such as Ralph Lauren, Kotur, Loeffler Randall, Giuseppe Zanotti, Christian Louboutin, Stuart Weitzman, and Jimmy Choo.

Jessica Alba’s 2015 Met Gala Outfit: A Fashion Disaster?

Jessica Alba did her best to make a fashion statement at the 2015 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Unfortunately, her effort fell utterly flat.

She was joined on the red carpet by American fashion designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, appointed co-creative directors of Kenzo in 2011. They injected new energy and vitality into the brand, which had been struggling since the departure of its founder, Kenzo Takada, in 1999.

The actress and businesswoman flaunted her long legs in a custom Kenzo gown that seemed too big for her frame.

If the dress was terrible, the black platform sandals from the same French luxury house were, if possible, even worse. She completed the ensemble with a Kenzo tiger paw clutch.
