Bryce Dallas Howard’s Heel Controversy in “Jurassic World”

In 2015’s “Jurassic World,” one of the most talked-about aspects was Bryce Dallas Howard’s character, Claire, consistently wearing high heels throughout the film, even during intense jungle scenes and while fleeing from dinosaurs. Many viewers found this choice unrealistic and criticized the decision, questioning why Claire would prioritize fashion over practicality in such dangerous situations.

Despite the controversy, the heels continued to make appearances in subsequent films in the franchise. Howard defended the choice, emphasizing that it was integral to her character’s portrayal. In an interview with USA Today, she stated that she viewed Claire’s insistence on wearing heels as a fun and defining aspect of her personality, saying, “I always saw it as a really fun thing that she runs through the jungle in heels, and the outfit gets demolished.”
