Image
Amanda Seyfried, the American actress known for her roles in movies such as “Mamma Mia,” “Red Riding Hood,” and “In Time,” stands at 5 feet 2 ½ inches, which is approximately 158.8 centimeters. She wears a shoe size 8 (US).

At Peacock’s Long Bright River premiere in New York, she looked short next to her co-stars in a glittering Marc Jacobs V-neck mini dress with jewelry from Yvonne Léon.

Liz Moore, in a floor-length metallic gown and nude heels, stands tall next to Nikki Toscano, who stuns in a black cutout gown with jeweled sandals, while Amanda Seyfried, in a dazzling gold mini dress and black pointed-toe pumps, highlights their height differences at the Long Bright River premiere on March 5, 2025 in New York City (Credit: M10s / TheNews2 / Cover Images)

How Tall Is Carey Mulligan? Her Height Compared to Co-Stars & Favorite Heels
Image
British actress Carey Mulligan is known for her timeless style and elegant presence, both on-screen and on the red carpet. She is 5 feet 6 inches (167.6 cm) and stands slightly taller than the average British woman (typically 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches or 160–163 cm). Her height, paired with her sophisticated fashion choices, enhances her commanding presence in Hollywood.

In an interview with Star Magazine, Mulligan suggested she might be even taller, saying:

I’m 5ft 7ins and weigh 8st 5lbs… After I had my appendix out, during the London run of The Seagull, I went down to eight stone [114 pounds] and realized my brain doesn’t work when I’m that thin.

On the red carpet, heel height can shift perceptions of celebrity stature. Standing 6 feet ½ inches (184.2 cm), Bradley Cooper often towers over Mulligan, but with the right stilettos or platform heels, she can effortlessly narrow the visual gap.

‘A Classic Horror Story’ Review (Netflix)
Image
Stars: Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz, Francesco Russo, Peppino Mazzotta, Will Merrick, Yuliia Sobol, Alida Baldari Calabria, Cristina Donadio, Francesca Cavallin, Justin Korovkin | Written by Roberto De Feo, Paolo Strippoli, Lucio Besana, Milo Tissone, David Bellini | Directed by Roberto De Feo, Paolo Strippoli

Travelling through rural Italy, a group of mismatched strangers crash their camper van in the middle of nowhere. Waking up in the middle of the woods, the group look to an ominous old shack for assistance. Described by one character as “Sam Raimi’s house,” the cabin itself should have been warning enough; the gang are soon beset by hooded assailants wielding massive hammers. Frankly, Elisa (Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz) and her fellow travellers should have known better. What, did they not get Wrong Turn in Italy?

‘Wrong Turn in Italy’ is essentially the plot of Roberto De Feo and Paolo Strippoli’s A Classic Horror Story. This...

Full Trailer for Creepy Italian Haunted House 'A Classic Horror Story'
Kiana Madeira, Lloyd Pitts, and Noah Bain Garret in Fear Street: Part One - 1994 (2021)
"Do you know how to get out of this forest?" "This is not a forest." Netflix has revealed the unsettling full-length official trailer for a creepy horror offering this summer, along with their Fear Street horror trilogy in July. Despite being titled A Classic Horror Story, this definitely isn't any classic horror movie at all. Five strangers share a journey aboard a camper, but after an accident they find themselves in a forest populated by strange beings from which it is impossible to get out. Listed as a "cerebral" & scary" horror about an an abandoned house and a "spine-chilling cult." Described as "the Italian Midsommar meets Texas Chain Saw Massacre," which is quite a freaky twist. Starring Matilda Lutz, Francesco Russo, Peppino Mazzotta, Yuliia Sobol, Will Merrick, Alida Baldari Calabria, plus Cristina Donadio. This looks super scary and entirely fresh, despite that clever marketing trick of it (not) being "A Classic Horror Story.

Alba Rohrwacher and Irene Maiorino in My Brilliant Friend (2018)
‘My Brilliant Friend’ Review: ‘The Betrayal’ Is This Season’s Darkest Hour Yet
Alba Rohrwacher and Irene Maiorino in My Brilliant Friend (2018)
[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “My Brilliant Friend,” Season 2, Episode 5, “The Betrayal.”]

Nearly every moment of “The Betrayal,” from the unstable Dutch angles of the cinematography to Max Richter’s chilling score, is building up to the episode’s final third like a horror movie. “My Brilliant Friend” has been operating on this track all season, with morbid flourishes in the visuals and sound design mounting toward an awful inevitability. Directed by Alice Rohrwacher, this episode is the season’s darkest and strongest hour yet.
