Zendaya's new shoe line is cute and affordable
GLAMOUR: How did you decide which styles you wanted to create?
ZENDAYA: Here's the thing, just because I don't personally wear certain things doesn't mean other people don't, right? I don't wear flats that often—I like super tall 6-inch heels or sneakers, there's no in between for me. But there are women who feel more comfortable in lower heels, so I tried to think about how I create a low heel or flat that I would wear and think is flattering. It was definitely a challenge, but hey, we made some cute ballet flats, and I never thought that was possible!
GLAMOUR: It's interesting that you're into tall heels since you're so tall yourself. What advice can you give other tall women and girls who maybe avoid wearing higher heels?
ZENDAYA: I come from a line of tall, fabulous women—my mom is 6'4". A lot of friends and fans have asked me about this. The thing is: people are going to comment on you being tall whether you like it or not. So, you might as well just be extra tall and be fabulous while being tall. It's inevitable that they're going to say something. People tell me I'm tall even when I'm barefoot. So, I might as well wear some heels and really do it up. If I could be taller, I would be!
GLAMOUR: What's your shoe for a night out?
ZENDAYA: I always go back to a pointy pump. It works for everyone and with everything. It's magical! When I was creating the line with Law, we said we had to make our own version in every color and pattern. And that's what we did!
