Ali Wong isn’t letting a little injury interfere with her footwear.
On theEmmy Awardsred carpet on Monday night, theBeefstar revealed toE!host Heather McMahan that she chose her shoes because of a knee injury.
“I’m nursing a knee injury,” Wong told McMahan after showing off her custom Louis Vuitton gown. She then lifted up her skirt slightly to show off her black Brandon Blackwood platform heels. “I had to wear, like, heel platforms. These add about five inches. They’re insane.”
