Zaba's stance on the Cannes' high heel rule
Zaba is a massive fan of high heels, which is why she thinks a high heel rule for the red carpet is not misplaced.
Cannes Film Festival organisers have denied a report that they are enforcing a strict high-heels only rule for women on the event's legendary red carpet after a storm of protest on social media.
Screen Daily reported that "a handful of women in their 50s were turned away" by Cannes ushers from a Sunday night gala screening.
As the story sparked hundreds of angry tweets, festival director Thierry Fremaux quickly took to Twitter to set the record straight.
"The rumour that the festival requires high heels for the women on the steps is baseless," he wrote, referring to the entrance of the main Cannes venue.
It's no secret that I am a huge fan of heels, being 5'2" heels have been my friend for many a year. I have them in all styles: wedge, stiletto, court, pump, boot…you name it, chances are I have it (apart from kitten heels. I can't stand those).
So I am not against this ‘no flats on the red carpet’ rule. I am a strong believer in that there is a place for flat shoes, and it's not on the red carpet. Unless you have a medical reason for not wearing them, you should try.
A good shoe will change your life. You feel amazing when you have a good pair of shoes on. You walk taller, glow and have a whole lot more confidence.
You don't have to agree with me, that's cool. But if there's a dress code to an event you should stick to it, otherwise it’s just plain rude.
