i'm the same height! Five foot one! she looks great without heels, its nice to see. then again she looks great in just about anything she wants to wear.
I like this look. It has a certain '40s noir elegance about it. The flat shoes do make Gaga look tiny, but she IS tiny. She is standing with 2 tall bodyguards and a tall onlooker in frame. In the second pic the woman she's posing with is probably a fashion model.
