While Helen Mirren‘s gown and glittering jewelry may be the first thing you notice tonight about her 2019 Oscars‘ look in L.A., there’s a show-stopping pair of platform PVC heels hiding under her Schiaparelli dress.

The designer ensemble is a long-sleeve, floor-length gown made of different shades of pink tulle.

Her heels were an eye-catching pair of platform clear heels that gave her an extra boost to her 5-foot 4 stature.

The actress has never been one to shy away from her love of the fan-titled “stripper heels;” they have been her go-to for red carpet footwear style for years now.

“Four-inch platforms give you great height and make your legs look unbelievably long,” she told Woman & Home magazine back in 2010. “I used only to be able to get them in stripper shops, but now you can buy them everywhere — although, unfortunately, that means everyone else has discovered the trick too.”
