Kelly Osbourne: 'I wore platform sneakers under my awards ceremony gowns'

'Fashion Police' co-host Kelly Osbourne has revealed that to give herself extra height at red carpet events and recent awards ceremonies, she has been wearing trainers with platform heels underneath her glamorous dresses. 

In a post on her official blog site, the lavender-haired star explained that she was able to be taller and comfortable at the same time, which she wouldn't have been had she worn stilettos like many of the other celebrities:

"Here is a secret I bet you did not know, I wore them underneath my gowns during the whole award season... Yes, I even wore them to the Oscars. They saved my feet from enduring the agony of standing in 6-inch heels for 12 hours and ending up with blood-filled shoes!"

She joked that the Spice Girls made the strange-looking footwear style popular back in the '90s and she is very happy that the trend is now back in, adding:

"Thank you to the Spice girls for making it such a trend in the 90's that they had to come back again!!!(Sorry I'm English I can't help myself!) Platform sneakers have been shown all over designer runways since 2013 but the trend is finally kicking off and I looooooove it! Finally I can gain an extra inch or 2 and not be in pain while still looking stylish! (sic)"
