It's no secret that celebs come in all shapes and sizes. There are some tall, willowy supermodel-esque celebs who tower over everyone on the red carpet, yet still look graceful and delicate. And then there are the petite celebs who are super tiny, but still somehow manage to have legs that look a mile long. However, there's one thing that most people often don't notice when it comes to celebrity bodies — their feet.
That's because, while their physique may be super visible, as is their height, there feet are just kind of tucked away in their shoes and you really can't judge how large or small they may be simply by looking at them. Well, if you thought that all celebs have teeny size 6 feet that look cute in any shoe, think again. There are actually a surprising amount of celebrities who have fairly large feet — luckily, they probably have no trouble finding shoes in the less common sizes because they can just pay the big bucks to ensure they always have flawless footwear.
Here are 15 female celebs who may have much bigger feet than you may have guessed. Take a look at their stilettos the next time they strut down the red carpet — you just might be surprised at what you see.
15 Elle MacPherson (Size 12)
There are plenty of tall supermodels out there, but Elle MacPherson is even taller than most, clocking in at just under six feet. Pair that with her long limbs and supermodel-perfect physique, and you've got quite the package — it's no wonder that she's still so popular, years after making her debut. Her physique is incredible and she's basically 75% legs — those things go on for miles and miles! However, one thing you may not have noticed because you were distracted by all her other physical characteristics is her feet — she actually rocks size 12s. It makes sense — size five shoes on a woman who is nearly six feet would probably look fairly unbalanced. Given how well she struts her stuff, we have a feeling no one even notices the size of her feet — not that she would care either way.
14 Kendall Jenner (Size 10)
The Kardashian/Jenner women kind of come in all shapes and sizes. Some are on the shorter side, some are super tall. Some have incredibly curvy physiques, while others are on the slimmer side. Plus, certain garments or nip and tuck procedures mix things up even more. However, there's something that can really never be changed, no matter what your fitness regime — your shoe size. While some of the fashionistas in the family have smaller feet, Kendall isn't one of them — the supermodel on the rise actually has size 10 feet. We hope that she's grown accustomed to squishing her feet into shoes, because chances are some of those shoes ready for the models at fashion shows won't be in her size. Sometimes you have to suffer for beauty, right? It's all part of the job.
13 Oprah Winfrey (Size 11)
Despite her talented staff and the fact that she has plenty of money to blow, even Oprah Winfrey gets things wrong every now and then — her shoe size is the perfect example of that. Every fan knows that Oprah's weight has fluctuated tremendously over the years, so back in the early 2000s, she decided to do a bit of a closet clean out on the show. Long story short, she ended up finding out that the reason her size 10 shoes were uncomfortable wasn't simply because she was buying the wrong shoes — it was because she was buying the wrong size! She realized that her feet were actually size 11s, and promptly gave up all her size 10 shoes and restocked her closet with the proper size. Can you imagine walking around in shoes that are a size too small? Ouch!
12 Heidi Klum (Size 11)
Okay, we have a feeling that the reason so many supermodels have huge feet and the public doesn't really notice is because, well, they're supermodels — unless you kind of have a thing for feet, you'll probably be too blinded by their mile-long legs to even notice what's at the end of them! Klum is yet another example. She's basically the standard model height, looks super graceful and willowy, and those supermodel legs are finished off with size eleven shoes. However, she slides those tootsies into stiletto heels, puts on an often scandalously short cocktail dress to show off her assets, and struts her stuff on any red carpet or at any event — and looks pretty darn good doing it. No wonder she's crafted a career that spans decades — looks will get you in the game, but it's confidence and a willingness to work hard that will keep you there year after year!
11 Uma Thurman (Size 11)
Everyone knows that Quentin Tarantino is a bit of an unusual guy, but what you may not have known is that he definitely has quite the foot fetish. You'll see evidence in many of his films, and he's even unashamedly confessed his quirk. Uma Thurman, who has worked with Tarantino several times, decided to indulge him at a celebration in his honour by allowing him to sip champagne out of her black stiletto pumps. We hope that he didn't come to the party with an empty stomach, because given that her feet are a size 11, he likely got a pretty generous serving of champagne! Again, Thurman is quite a tall woman, so it makes sense that she would have larger than average feet — and she obviously has no issue with them!
10 Tyra Banks (Size 12)
Tyra Banks' physique has changed a lot over the years. While she's always been curvier than your average runway model, back in her younger years when she made her modeling debut, she was still fairly willowy. Since then, she's definitely added some curves to her frame, and the world loves her for it — I mean, the woman was a staple of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for years and years. There's one thing that hasn't changed at all, though — the size of her feet. Banks has always been outspoken about how she grew to her current height at a fairly young age, and her feet apparently grew as well. Now, she graces our television screens time and time again courtesy of her talk show and reality show. And, if any ANTM contestants feel self conscious about their foot size, she can give them a little confidence boost from personal experience.
9 Mariah Carey (Size 10)
Mariah Carey has become notorious for her shoe collection — and her closet in general. She's definitely a fan of rocking stilettos, and since she's a fairly average 5'7 in height, you'd probably assume her feet are pretty average as well, right? Well, she's not rocking size seven or eights — in fact, she wears a size ten. We have a feeling her feet look smaller than that on a regular basis primarily because she wears heels so often, and the height of her stilettos and arch of her foot in those shoes definitely counteracts the appearance of large feet. However, it just goes to prove that you don't have to have tiny feet to be a shoe lover — she's managed to amass quite the collection, even in a size that can sometimes be tough to find in regular stores.
8 Meg Ryan (Size 11)
Okay, here's one you may not have expected. Meg Ryan isn't exactly short — she's around 5'7 — but something about her petite frame makes her seem, well, petite in general. She just looks tiny and cute as a button in most cases. However, that doesn't mean she has teeny tiny feet — she actually has size 11 feet, the same size as many women who have several inches on her in height. That's obviously never affected her career, though — she was the reigning rom com queen for a while in the '90s, and has kept up her career across decades in Hollywood. It just goes to show that you don't have to have any particular type of body or physical traits to succeed in Hollywood — you just have to have that sparkle, that something special about you.
7 Kate Winslet (Size 11)
Kate Winslet is basically your classic English rose, and while she's not super petite, she's also not too tall — she's around 5'8. However, she has slightly large feet than your average woman. Apparently, her Titanic co-star Leo DiCaprio even made fun of her slightly large than average feet while they were working together. In Winslet's case, it's kind of a family thing — her mother apparently has even larger feet, just something that runs in the genes. However, pretty much everyone would agree that Winslet always looks absolutely gorgeous on the red carpet, and knows how to rock heels like an absolute pro. She's also become quite well known for shying away from retouching and trying to put forth an authentic version of herself to all her fans, so we have a feeling she's confident rocking her larger than average feet.
6 Laura Prepon (Size 10.5)
There are certainly exceptions to this rule, but on average, celebs who have larger feet will often be on the taller side. Just take Laura Prepon, for example. Fans have gotten to know her as the red haired firecracker Donna on That '70s Show and the mysterious Alex on Orange is the New Black, and it's easy to see that she often towers over her co-stars. That's because she clocks in at 5'10 — fairly tall for an actress. So, it kind of makes sense that she would have size 10.5 feet — that's a lot of height to balance on. In fact, having teeny size six feet would look weird and unbalanced with her tall, willowy frame. After spending so many years on television on various shows, though, we have a feeling she's gotten used to the whole outfit fitting process, and probably has come to terms with having slightly larger than average feet.
5 Jennifer Lawrence (Size 10.5)
Jennifer Lawrence definitely has some serious acting chops, and has taken on several quite challenging roles throughout her career, but let's be honest for a second — one of the main reasons the public loves her is her personality. Sure, she's absolutely gorgeous, but every starlet on the rise is gorgeous. What sets Lawrence apart is that she's not afraid to say what she thinks, and she's not afraid to make fun of herself — which is a good quality to have for anyone, let alone someone who is constantly getting picked apart by the paparazzi. If the paps were ever to run a story showcasing her larger than average size 10.5 feet, Lawrence wouldn't go cry and demand that her feet be cropped out of all photos — she'd probably just laugh and shrug it off, which is why we love her.
4 Geena Davis (Size 11.5)
Most people likely know Geena Davis better for her acting roles, such as her starring gig in the iconic Thelma & Louise, but what you may not know is that before she decided to turn to acting, she actually made her living as a model. Given her height and physique, it's no surprise once you look at her — that's a body meant to showcase clothing. However, that means she has something in common with many other models — slightly larger than average feet. Davis' closet is filled with size 11.5 shoes, and it's not something that bothers her in the least. See? You may think that all celebrities are perfect, but everyone has certain quirks — you just have to learn to embrace them, because they're what make you you. No matter what your physique or what size your shoes, just embrace it!
3 Brooke Shields (Size 11)
Brooke Shields got her start in Hollywood at a shockingly young age, and has had quite the career since then. She's taken breaks throughout her career to focus on things like education, but she keeps coming back to acting — and the world is glad to see she's continuing to take on projects, because she's a totally dynamic presence on screen. Brooke Shields' most known physical trait is likely her eyebrows — she was rocking the strong, bold brow years before it became trendy to do so, and she learned to embrace it and work with it. Her feet are the same story — she has size 11 shoes, nothing crazy given how tall she is, and she's just embraced it over the years. With the way she rocks a red carpet, you've probably never even given her feet a second thought.
2 Famke Janssen (Size 11)
The Dutch bombshell Famke Janssen has certainly had an interesting career. She got her start in the fashion world, obviously — that height, those cheekbones! — and ended up moving to the U.S. from her native Netherlands to pursue modeling. Then, she started dabbling in acting, getting a few small roles here and there. And then, she became a legit, full fledged actress, getting prime gigs such as the role of Jean Grey in the X-Men movies. And, while you may have been too distracted by her beauty to notice her feet, she definitely has a larger than average shoe size — she rocks a size 11. However, we have a feeling that between her presence on screen and her other physical attributes, no one even notices the size of her feet.
1 Jerry Hall (Size 12.5)
Jerry Hall is certainly not the type of woman who fades into the background. First of all, she's six feet tall, and is known for her voluminous blonde hair and fearless approach to fashion. Second, she surrounds herself with likewise larger than life personalities — for decades, she was the main woman of rock star Mick Jagger. And, just as you might expect from a woman who is six feet tall, she doesn't exactly have small feet — she's apparently got size 12.5 feet, which is fairly large, even for a model. However, as you can tell by literally every photo she's in, it's not as if she's self-conscious about them or letting them impact her life in any way. She manages to find shoes, even if it may be tougher than for the average woman, and goes about her life of glamour, plain and simple.
