Mila Kunis is a master of the "height hack." At 5ft 4in, she’s basically the average American woman, but stand her next to her husband Ashton Kutcher—who is a towering 6ft 2.5in—and the perspective shifts. It’s why you almost never see her on a red carpet without serious elevation.
People get weirdly obsessed with celebrity measurements, but with Mila, it’s actually a lesson in technical styling. She wears a US shoe size 7.5, a detail that fashion junkies track because it dictates how she handles those 150mm platforms that have become her signature.
She isn't just "wearing shoes." She’s balancing a massive height gap while maintaining the "effortless" vibe that made her a star on That '70s Show.
The Red Carpet Engineering Behind Her Style
When she walked the red carpet for the 2026 Golden Globes in Carolina Herrera, the footwear choice wasn't just about the label. It was about architecture.
Mila often leans into brands like Atelier Versace and Christian Louboutin, specifically models like the "So Kate" pumps. If you’ve ever tried to stand in those for four hours, you know they aren’t for the faint of heart. They have a notoriously steep pitch.
Why the 7.5 Size Matters
A smaller foot size actually makes high heels harder to wear. It’s simple physics. The angle from the heel to the ball of the foot is much sharper on a size 7.5 than it is on a size 10.
- Pitch: The steepness of the shoe.
- Balance: Smaller surface area for the sole.
- Support: Often requires custom padding.
Honestly, her ability to sprint through press tours in Fendi "Rockoko" boots then swap into stiletto pumps is a feat of endurance. Most of us are ready to kick our shoes off after a trip to the grocery store.
The Neil J. Rodgers Secret
While everyone looks at the flashy Louboutins with the red soles, Mila is part of a "if you know, you know" club of celebs who actually buy their own shoes from Neil J. Rodgers. This is a big deal in Hollywood. Most stars just borrow whatever their stylist is paid to put on them.
Rodgers' shoes are designed with a specific focus on the toe bed and cushioning. When you see Mila at a premiere looking like she’s actually enjoying herself, she’s likely wearing something with that hidden internal support. It’s the difference between "I can't wait to go home" and "let's hit the after-party."
Addressing the Internet's Obsession
It’s no secret that the internet has a massive "foot fetish" community that tracks every public appearance of her soles and toes. WikiFeet and YouTube forums have literally thousands of entries dedicated to her.
Some call her toes the "sexiest in Hollywood." Others analyze her pedicures like they're decoding a Da Vinci painting. Mila herself has been pretty vocal about not chasing "perfection." In interviews, she’s called the pursuit of looking perfect "sad" and "bizarre."
"There is no such thing as perfection. What I consider beautiful, most likely you don't." — Mila Kunis
She’s real. She’s been spotted in flip-flops and sweats more times than she’s been seen in Versace. That contrast is probably why the fascination persists. It’s the "girl next door" who happens to have a collection of nearly 1,500 pairs of shoes according to some reports.

Breaking Down the "Bad Moms" Maternity Look
One of her most iconic style runs was during her pregnancy with her second child. Most people opt for flats. Mila went the opposite way.
At the Bad Moms premiere, she wore pale pink Atelier Versace stilettos with red bow detailing. It was a masterclass in using footwear to elongate the silhouette when you’re carrying extra weight in the middle. By choosing a pointed toe and a thin ankle strap, she kept the "line" of her leg long, preventing that "stumpy" look that often happens with chunky maternity footwear.
Her Favorite Brands Over the Years
- Christian Louboutin: For the classic "So Kate" silhouette.
- Atelier Versace: When she needs high-fashion drama and sculptural heels.
- Lanvin: Often her go-to for platform sandals with a bit more stability.
- Neil J. Rodgers: The "comfort" choice for long days.
- Jimmy Choo: Frequently seen in their strappy "minimalist" sandals.
The Hygiene Controversy and Foot Care
Remember the whole "we don't bathe" saga from a few years back? Mila and Ashton sparked a massive debate when they told Dax Shepard they only wash their kids when they "see the dirt."
While that grossed out half of Twitter, it actually pointed to her more "naturalist" approach to skin health. She’s mentioned she doesn't use harsh soaps on her body every day to avoid stripping natural oils. This likely extends to her foot care—less scrubbing, more natural moisture. She’s known for frequent pedicures, but she keeps the colors classic: nudes, deep reds, or just a clear gloss.
How to Get the Look (Without the Movie Star Budget)
You don't need a Versace contract to pull off this style. It's about the toe shape.
If you're on the shorter side, avoid "heavy" shoes. Look for d’Orsay cuts (where the side of the shoe is cut out) or "naked" sandals with transparent straps. These tricks create the illusion of longer feet and legs.
Also, don't ignore the "platform block heel" trend. Mila has used these at several recent premieres, like the Knives Out events. They give you the 5-inch boost without the "walking on toothpicks" feeling of a stiletto.
Practical Steps for Foot Health & Style:
- Invest in "Metatarsal Pads": These little gel inserts are the secret weapon of every red carpet stylist. They take the pressure off the ball of the foot.
- Color Match: To make your legs look longer, match your shoe color to your skin tone or your pants. Mila does this constantly with nude pumps.
- Hydrate: High heels cause calluses. A heavy urea-based cream at night will keep your feet from looking "weathered" in strappy sandals.
- Size Up: Many celebs, Mila included, will occasionally wear a half-size larger in heels to account for foot swelling during long events.
Mila’s approach to fashion is basically a mix of high-end engineering and total "I don't care" casualness. Whether she's in $900 boots or $20 flip-flops, the focus is always on what works for her frame, not just what's trending. That's the real secret to why people are still talking about her style decades into her career.
