The Highest Heels at the ‘Barbie’ World Premiere: Margot Robbie’s Classic Mules, Ava Max’s 7-Inch Valentino Heels and More
“Barbie” is fast approaching and celebrities took notice, bringing sleek heels to new heights at the film’s world premiere in Los Angeles.
The namesake doll has been on everyone’s mood boards leading into the 2020s Barbiecore trend but is especially poignant as the “Barbie” movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling approaches its July 21 release.
Proof further emerged from the sky-high shoes that guests from Gal Gadot to Kiersey Clemons wore to the movie’s premiere, likely in the spirit of Barbie herself — who can often be seen in sharp pumps, sandals or mules for an array of occasions, from dressing up at home to skyrocketing to the moon. Thin stilettos totaling 4 inches and higher were seen across numerous mules and pumps, as well as towering block heels and platforms for a more balanced base.
Below, discover the sleekest, tallest heels from the “Barbie” world premiere’s pink carpet.

Margot Robbie
Robbie, of course, led the high-heeled charge on the pink carpet as Barbie herself — dressed to the nines in a custom black Schiaparelli dress, directly inspired by the 1960 “Solo in the Spotlight” Barbie’s same outfit. Stylist Andrew Mukamal completed her look with diamond Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and a sleek pair of black Manolo Blahnik mules, finished by thin stiletto heels.
Kiersey Clemons
Kiersey Clemons stood tall at the “Barbie” premiere in a crystal-lined black crop top and matching strawberry-shaped black and hot pink skirt. The “Flash” actress’ outfit gained a sky-high boost from smooth black leather platform pumps by Andrea Wazen, complete with crystal trim, matching Mary Jane straps and dynamic 6.5-inch stiletto heels.
Ava Max
Ava Max — whose song “Choose Your Fighter” appears on the “Barbie” soundtrack — made a slick arrival in a frosty blue crop top and column skirt, each covered in glistening crystals. Aside from matching light blue gloves and bejeweled sunglasses, the singer’s outfit was complete with towering pink Valentino platform pumps with thick soles and 7-inch block heels.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj — a “Barbie” herself, as it’s been part of her nickname repertoire for years, which was furthered upon joining the “Barbie” soundtrack on “Barbie World” with Ice Spice — arrived in a ribbed lavender crop top and coordinating draped skirt, cinched with a thin black leather belt. Black chain-link-strapped sandals with soaring stiletto heels finished her outfit with a dynamic base.
Gal Gadot
Gal Gadot took to the pink carpet in modern fashion, dressed by stylist Karla Welch in a striped leather J.W. Anderson dress, cream Aupen handbag and gold Tiffany & Co. jewelry. The “Wonder Woman” star’s look, however, gained a slick finish from towering Femme LA mules with clear PVC straps and thin pink stiletto heels.
The “Barbie” film features a cast including Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera and more stars. Directed by Greta Gerwig, the dramatic comedy will release in theaters on July 21.
