Kelly Osbourne has always believed that confidence is the key to great style, once saying, “Dress how you feel and love what you wear because at the end of the day you have got to wear and feel great in it.”
Despite being shorter than the average American woman at 5 feet 1 ¾ inches (156.8 cm)—compared to the national average of 5 feet 4 inches (162.6 cm)—she has never let height define her fashion choices.
With a US shoe size 7, Osbourne effortlessly uses bold footwear to make a statement, proving that style isn’t about size—it’s about attitude.

Kelly Osbourne on Body Image: “I Would Never Consider Myself Fat”
The singer has mentioned in various interviews and on her Twitter account that she doesn’t consider herself overweight. She stated in an interview that she typically weighs around 120 pounds and has humorously remarked that she’s 5 feet 2 inches tall on a good day.
I was a UK size ten (American size six) and I was 5ft 2in. I’m short, so of course I’m going to look that bit bigger than someone who is 5ft 4in and a size ten. But I would never have considered myself as fat.
