This isn’t the first time we have seen the “American Horror Story” actress in a towering pair, as she gravitates towards this style. For Ralph Lauren’s NYFW show on Sept. 9, she selected black crocodile-embossed platform heels. While visiting the “Late Late Show with James Corden” in January 2023, she kicked back in a set of matching black platform sandals from Jimmy Choo with a sky-high 5.75-inch stiletto heel.

About the Shoes
Roberts’ sandals in a pristine white hue embody a captivating blend of modern and classic design. The peep-toe cut offers a glimpse of the wearer’s polished toes, while an adjustable ankle strap featuring a sophisticated buckle ensures a secure and customized fit. The chunky high heel, crafted with detail, adds an elegant lift to the overall silhouette. The matching covered platform provides a sturdy foundation, ensuring both comfort and stability with each step.
Shoe Style
Platform heels feature an elevated sole and typically a high heel of 4 inches or higher. The platformed construction helps compensate for the heel’s height, allowing for more height than a traditional pump without any added discomfort. In fact, if comfort is a concern, some experts recommend that you maintain a heel high of no more than 3 inches by subtracting the height of the platform from the heel. For instance, if you’re wearing a 3.75-inch heel, your platform should be .75 inches.
