NeNe Leakes, the American TV personality and actress known for her roles in The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Glee, is an impressive 5 feet 10 ½ inches (179.1 cm) tall. She has said her height sets her apart and allows her to embrace her unique style.
NeNe Leakes is well above average for American women, who are around 5 feet 4 inches (162.6 cm). Despite her impressive height, NeNe often chooses to wear high heels, further elevating her statuesque presence and embracing her striking, bold style.

“I really want to lose 20 pounds,” she told HollywoodLife in 2019. “I’m very tall. I’m almost 5’11 and I can carry my weight a lot different than somebody who’s shorter than me, so me losing 12 pounds makes me feel like I’ve lost like, 5.”
“I’ve always been the girl who’s been a size 10, and then when I got bigger I was a 12 — Whatever,” NeNe added.
“I don’t ever remember being an 8. I would love to be an 8. Some people are like, ‘Oh, you’re too tall to be an 8!’ My birthday is December 13th. Every year around my birthday, I always want to be something! I want to be thin or smaller.”
NeNe Leakes wears a US shoe size of 11, roughly equivalent to a size 9 in the UK, size 42 in the European system, size 28 in the Japanese system, and size 11 in the Australian system.
NeNe Leakes is often spotted wearing stylish high heels and boots from top brands featured on Your Next Shoes. Her shoe collection includes popular names like UGG, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, and Giuseppe Zanotti, known for their bold designs and high-quality craftsmanship.

NeNe Leakes Dazzles in Daring Lanvin Gown and Statement Sandals at PaleyFest
In March 2013, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes wore a daring Lanvin gown at Paleyfest Panel 2013 honoring her series, The New Normal.

Her Lanvin dress features a gaping hole at the bust, which exposed her black bra and thigh-high slit. While I’m not a fan of the gown, printed with Lanvin all over, at least it revealed her sandals.

I love the very feminine pink sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti, but they did not complement her dress.

Admittedly, they gave a pop of color to her neutral ensemble.

However, NeNe could have found plenty of shoes that looked nicer with the dress. Do you agree?

Let’s talk about the sandals now, though commenting on her pedicure is tempting.
The sandals are from Giuseppe Zanotti’s Spring 2013 collection. They feature luscious suede straps—a strap across the toe and a crisscross strap at the ankle with a buckle fastening. While they already look dainty, the sculpted mirror heel adds edge and a modern look to these shoes.
