How Heels Transformed Emma Roberts’ On-Screen Height and Confidence

Reflecting on her time filming Scream Queens, she shared with ScreenCave, “I was 5’7 or 5’9 in the movie because of the heels I had to wear, even though they weren’t ideal for running from a serial killer.”

I’m 5 foot 2. I wish I were 5’6. Everyone who meets me says, ‘Oh my God. You look so much taller in person.’

In a 2017 Shape interview, Emma opened up about overcoming insecurities about her height, saying, “I used to have a complex about being short, but now I love that I’m 5’2. I’m strong, and that feels really good to me.” She also emphasized the importance of self-confidence, noting that we often lose it by letting others’ opinions overshadow our own.
