At the premiere of STEVE! (Martin): A Documentary in 2 Pieces at the Crosby Street Hotel, Selena Gomez commanded attention in sky-high Christian Louboutin Condora Strap pumps—yet still appeared noticeably shorter beside her co-star, Steve Martin. Her elegant ensemble featured a custom Oscar de la Renta dress, perfectly complemented by sleek Wolford Individual 20 tights.
Though she often embraces height-enhancing stilettos, the Wizards of Waverly Place actress officially stands 5 feet 4 ¾ inches (164.5 cm) and wears a US shoe size 7.5. However, Selena has playfully rounded up her height in interviews, confidently claiming to be 5’5″.

In addition to Christian Louboutin shoes, Selena Gomez has been spotted in a variety of designer heels, using them to elevate her petite frame while exuding confidence and sophistication.
Whether embracing the sleek elegance of Casadei, the bold glamour of Versace, or the refined craftsmanship of Santoni, she consistently chooses footwear that enhances her red carpet presence. She has also made statements in sophisticated styles from Aquazzura, classic silhouettes from Jimmy Choo, edgy designs by Giuseppe Zanotti, and sculptural footwear from Jacquemus.
Despite her love for height-enhancing heels, Selena effortlessly transitions to more laid-back looks. She often pairs her outfits with sporty sneakers from Puma for a relaxed, athleisure vibe or embraces the timeless appeal of Converse for a cool, casual aesthetic.

Addressing Height and Media Perceptions
During an interview with Amy Schumer for Interview Magazine’s April 2020 issue, Selena Gomez opened up about her height and the ongoing media scrutiny she faces.
“My intention was never to become a tabloid…it got out of control. And then I was like, ‘Wait, none of this is true.’ The way the media has…tried to explain things has made it sound really bad when in reality there’s nothing wrong with the fact that I needed to go away or that I fell in love. I had to start opening up because people were taking away my narrative and it was killing me. I’m so young and I’m going to keep changing, and no one has the right to tell me how my life’s going.”
“What has kept me afloat is that I know eventually it’ll be someone else—and I don’t mean that in a negative way. Sometimes it’s been bad for my career, but other times it’s like, “Now I can talk about things like my depression and anxiety, things that I’ve struggled with and which I’m totally open about because I believe in seeking help.” But other than that, what keeps me grounded is that I do my best to avoid it. It’s not like I don’t live my life,” she says about keeping afloat amid the intense media scrutiny.
“I’ve read a few, especially because I hadn’t released an album in five years. My friend sent me a couple of good reviews, and it felt amazing, because not all of my albums have been seen that way. I didn’t go beyond that because I know what happens to me. Getting into an internet spiral? I can’t do it,” Gomez added about the reviews for her third solo studio album Rare.

“I wrote it at the beginning of last year and had just gotten out of treatment. It was a moment when I came back and I was like, ‘I’m ready to go into the studio with people I trust and start working on songs.’ There was an air around it where people were very happy, because it was like I was going to finally be me. When I wrote the song, I was basically saying that I needed to hit rock-bottom to understand that there was this huge veil over my face,” she said about her self-love anthem, Lose You to Love Me.
When asked about American rapper Kid Cudi’s height, Selena Gomez mentioned that he is about three inches taller than her. “My memory is that you’re not that tall,” Amy Schumer responded playfully. Selena quipped, “I’m 5’5″—that’s average, right?”
Schumer joked back, “I don’t want to height-shame you, but that’s not tall.”
