No one makes a statement with shoes quite like Lady Gaga. Standing at just 5 feet 1 ¼ inches (155.6 cm), Gaga uses sky-high heels to elevate her looks. While most stick to 5-inch stilettos or 3-inch platforms, Gaga pushes the limits, confidently strutting in footwear that most wouldn’t dare try. Her shoes are as much a part of her iconic style as her extravagant outfits.

Gaga’s shoe size is a petite US 6, but her love for extreme footwear knows no bounds. Some of her most famous moments include the meat shoes she wore with her infamous dress at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and McQueen’s legendary armadillo heels from the same event. She’s been featured numerous times on Your Next Shoes, wearing brands like Azzedine Alaïa, Christian Louboutin, Giuseppe Zanotti, and Pleaser USA, showcasing everything from custom pumps to 10-inch black booties.

Whether performing on stage or strolling through New York, Gaga rarely steps out in flats. Her daring shoe choices continue to define her style, making her footwear as unforgettable as the star herself.

They dated for nearly five years, meeting in 2011 on the set of Lady Gaga’s “Yoü and I” music video and getting engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2015. Unfortunately, they called off their engagement in 2016.

Lady Gaga Wears Crazy-High Platform Heels to ‘Good Morning America’

Every public appearance is a stage for Lady Gaga, where she captivates us all with her dramatic flair and daring fashion choices.

The Queen of Pop is notorious for her theatrical productions and outrageous costumes that continue to shock and blow people’s minds. Remember when she wore a bubble machine dress that blew bubbles? Yes, that actually happened.

In September 2013, Lady Gaga kept herself busy promoting her third studio album, Artpop, released on November 6, 2013. But that did not stop her from sashaying in crazy cool ensembles as she made the rounds on the media circuit.

She was seen leaving the ‘Good Morning America’ studio after performing her new single, “Applause.” The Grammy-winning pop star, who chose a Wizard of Oz theme for her performance, was spotted wearing a boxy black blazer, matching shorts, and sky-high leather platform heels as she exited the studio in New York.

Lady Gaga has been spotted wearing massive blazers with rigid square shoulders lately, but this time, she wore one in black and paired it with matching leather shorts that showed off her toned legs.

The American singer opted for a shoulder-length blonde wig with blunt bangs and hid her eyes behind dark sunglasses. Her choice of footwear defied gravity as she towered over everyone in extremely high patent leather platform heels.

The Grammy winner and all-around superstar has an ongoing love affair with insanely high ankle-breakers, as she has been seen wearing many sky-high platform heels over the years. She has worn her favorite Azzedine Alaïa lace-up leather platform boots while dressing down, eating out, and saying goodbye to her adoring crowd. This time, she chose a rather PVC-esque pair of black patent leather platforms with scary high heels on a casual Monday morning.

How she managed to strut down the street in those heels and make it look easy is beyond me. What about you? Can you pull off a pair of skyscraper heels as she did?
