Emily Robinson wears a shoe size 5 US, which is relatively petite, especially considering her height. Other celebrities around her height include Halle Berry, Kate Moss, and Keke Palmer.
We’re interested in every pair of pretty shoes out there, regardless of whether they’re worn by a significant A-list star or a talented youngling still on the rise. Our interest in Ariana Grande’s footwear was piqued when she was still relatively unknown, and ever since, we’ve been partial to paying attention to the up-and-comers. So, everyone, meet Emily Robinson.
Before landing on more mainstream fashion radars, Emily made an early impression with her standout appearance at one of television’s biggest nights. Her style, poise, and choice of footwear hinted at a rising star who already knew how to command the red carpet.

Emily stood on the 2016 Emmy Awards red carpet as an actress for Amazon’s “Transparent.”
Other stars who impressed on the red carpet included Kristen Bell in a floral Zuhair Murad gown, Laverne Cox in a custom gold beaded Naeem Khan dress, and Olivia Culpo in an embellished Zac Posen midi gown paired with silver Casadei sandals.

We’re calling Emily’s rise to stardom — at least on the fashion front. The 17-year-old wore a gorgeous tulle and sequin dress by Carolina Herrera that was so pretty it warranted a detailed photo from the actress.
A few months later, she attended An Evening Honoring Carolina Herrera in a strapless tulle gown featuring a vibrant rainbow beaded bodice. Unfortunately, her heels could not be seen due to the length of her dress.

Although she was just 17 at the time, Emily had already been acting for nine years, a testament to her talent and dedication.
While this red carpet moment marked a significant milestone in her early career, earning a spot at the Emmys was already a significant accomplishment for someone so young.

Since her early red carpet appearances, Emily has continued to grow as an actress and author. While we first noticed her as a rising star in 2016, it’s been a joy watching her evolution in Hollywood and beyond—both on-screen and in style.
