Jenna Ortega is making a statement with her shoe choices at the 22nd Marrakech International Film Festival. The actress was seen sporting a pair of stacked six-inch heels that featured a platform sole and a super-high block heel. The delicate buckle-fastening ankle strap added a touch of elegance while also ensuring stability—a perfect combination of style and practicality.
Known for her love of super-high heels, Ortega, who stands at just four foot eleven, relies on towering footwear to complement her flowing, sculptural gowns. At the festival, she paired her Bevza dress with Roker Highbury boots, which boast a nearly four-inch platform and a seven-and-a-half-inch heel. These boots are a favorite of Ortega’s, as she has been spotted wearing them at various events, including the Academy Museum Gala. She also donned gold metallic platforms from D&G to complement her ivory dress. When not in Morocco, Ortega opts for the stacked style of Christian Louboutin sandals to complete her chic looks.
The stacked heel trend is experiencing a revival just in time for the party season. Designers like Chloé and Valentino have been championing the boho wedge and platform heels in jewel tones, respectively. Sabrina Carpenter, standing at five foot one, is a fan of the sky-high satin Versace Medusa Aevitas platforms. Prada has even brought back an archival shape of platform derby-espadrilles, adding a touch of “ugly chic” to the trend. Whether you’re looking for a statement piece for a Christmas party or a casual night out, the stacked heel is a versatile option for everyone.
As we enter the festive season and the awards show circuit kicks into high gear, expect to see more of the stacked heel and platformed stompers on the red carpet. Let Jenna Ortega inspire your next shoe purchase and embrace the bold and stylish trend.
