Yerin Ha turned up at the BFI Southbank screening for Bridgerton Season 4 Part 2 on Feb. 24, 2026, and made a deliberate petite-style move: the 5 ft 1¼ in actress balanced a shiny metallic Louis Vuitton mini with the brand’s Donna boots to lengthen her silhouette beside co-star Luke Thompson, who is reported at 5 ft 11 in. Stylist Holly White dressed Ha in a look that traded Regency pastels for rock-inflected polish.

The dress read loud and specific: a silver, short-sleeved, double-breasted mini in a shiny fabric that WWD said incorporated muted tones of pink, green and silver. Hair by Dayaruci was worn straight with a side part past her shoulders and makeup by Naoko Sofia Patrizia Scintu leaned into a ’60s vibe with black winged liner and a fuchsia pink lip. Louis Vuitton midnight pearl earrings punctuated the outfit as the singular bit of sparkle.

The boots were the tactical headline. YourNextShoes called them the Louis Vuitton “Donna” boots, noting they were originally seen on the Fall/Winter 2022 runway and “crafted in Italy from smooth black calf leather.” YourNextShoes wrote that “[They] featured sleek, seamless lines, along with a leather-covered block heel measuring about 3.3 inches that not only added height but also enhanced their streamlined silhouette, creating a sharp, elongated effect.” Several outlets described the shaft as knee-high, while WWD’s copy referred to them as over-the-knee black leather boots, a discrepancy that changes how the leg line reads but doesn’t alter the boots’ height-adding mission.

That mission is explicit in the coverage: at 5'1¼, Ha used heel and shaft proportion to stretch her frame on the red carpet. YourNextShoes framed the moment as a petite-style lesson, even running a breakdown of exact height, heel construction and why knee-high shapes can elongate more than pumps. The result was a clean vertical line against Ha’s metallic mini that read modern rather than overtly glam.

Not everyone loved the pairing. Red Carpet Fashion Awards wrote, “Did I even need to tell you this was Louis Vuitton? If the silver, short-sleeved, double-breasted mini dress didn’t make it obvious, the black Donna boots certainly did.” Their critique landed harder: “The proportions feel off. The structure and shine of the dress call for something lighter. A sleek metallic sandal would have echoed the finish beautifully.” RCFA did praise the midnight pearl earrings and the fuchsia lip as exact hits.

This look sits inside a clear trajectory for Ha. WWD pointed out prior publicity-tour choices — a custom Prada gown at the Paris world premiere in January and a ruby-encrusted Dolce & Gabbana dress at a Feb. 18 Madrid photo call — and noted that the 28-year-old has moved from a Bridgerton Cinderella story to a more fired-up star in collaboration with Holly White. Whether you call it knee-high or over-the-knee, the Donna boots delivered practical lift and a stylistic pivot; it’s a calculated play in Ha’s evolving red-carpet language that will keep stylists and petite shoppers taking notes.
