I think it's pretty safe to assume no real female detective would be wearing the type of clothing Stana does on the series.  If you even discount the gazillion jackets and dresses/blouses, I can guarantee NO FEMALE who may have to chase down perps is wearing Stana's heels!!!!  I think we just have to assume the producers want a "glamorized" version of female detectives and not the real thing here. 


no way would she wear those heels, she'd end up with a broken ankle and I would imagine not be able to run very fast in them. As for clothes I'd still not say she has a lot but more than before. Kate's a mix and match girl so it looks like she has a lot more clothes. Maybe Rick has bought a few for her? What she has is good stuff so I'd say she'd be quite annoyed if they were destroyed


 

was she wearing those heels in her subway chase scene?

I love that blue dress too, not so fussed on the pink one she wore to the book reading, I just didn't think it suited her.

As for the red dress to the black tie affiar, it was gorgeous but not something most of us would have in our wardrobe. I know I sure don't Innocent

Even though the rest of her clothes are nice they aren't quite in that area. I don't really like that one shouldered red one either, I like the colour but not the style. The blue one was the best in my opinion.

 


 

i just assumed until now that the blue dress she wore was also a gift from castle? i guess not…

i agree that the pink one was not the best… but it did the job, didn't it? it derailed poor castle pretty good lol

as for her wardrobe, i think lanie is helping her out in that department. and now that what little she has left in her apartment is smoke/fire damaged, i'm sure she is going to use her insurance payout to change up her wardrobe again.

i tried going back and looking for those heels specifically but it was hard to tell. i would hazard a guess at no though, she was going pretty fast after that guy.

Don't know if Stana was wearing those heels in the chase scene, but I have had one thought concerning her character wearing those heels in general.  Stana is 5' 9" and Nathan is 6' 1" or so, perhaps they have Stana using heels to help out with the height differential for the camera.  That is, it is probably easier to get both Nathan AND Stana in the same camera shot when they are closer to the same height, without them having to make adjustments (like standing on boxes or shooting from a greater distance). 

Just a thought I had.  The height differential could be of no consequence at all in them keeping DETECTIVE Beckett in heels?!?!?!

Okay, I know I've been hearing this before, and I really wanna get to the bottom of this. Therefore, I took a couple screencaps from the episode on Hulu to see what is the real deal.

Beckett in the van before the chase. She is clearly wearing heels.

But here, it looks like she's not wearing a heel. I brought up the brightness so it would be easier to see.

After watching the van scene through the chase scene, it didn't look like Beckett had enough time to change her shoes. Based on this, I'm inclined to believe Stana wore sneakers or something just for the chase scene to make it easier. Thoughts?

It's really hard to tell whether she's wearing heels in the chase scene or not… they filmed it this way, so we can't see her feet almost at all, but it seems to me in the second pic that there are no heels there. So it's quite possible that Stana wore flat shoes just for the chase scene to make it easier.

I agree on this, but I found this link educational on running with high heels:

Quoting myself from the post 218 topic:

And now for something completely different: running in heels. I don't use high heels myself, so even walking looks very difficult to me. And I'm thinking those must be some very very strong shoes to take that kind of not intended abuse. But over on abc.com I found the thread, post and link (thanks TheOldPI) that give me a whole new perspective on heels: see the video at http://shoeminx.com/kelly-ripa…..-pedicure/ Shock

I wish I knew how to quit you.

Wow! This video definitely puts the whole new perspective on running in high heels… seems like it's not that difficult at all if you practise it.

I also find it really hard to tell in the pictures too. But I've ran in heels before (4"), and it's not overly difficult. You just run on the balls of your feet. Although, I'm used to wearing heels and they don't bother me. For my prom last year, I wore 4" heels from 12 noon until 1:30 in the morning. The only time I was sitting was during the speeches, in the limo, etc. Given, I've never had to chase a serial killer and jump a turnstile wearing them, but from experience running isn't impossible. And I'd say that Stana is used to wearing heels anyway (ie. public appearances, award shows, etc.), so it's probally not a huge stretch. I've noticed that in some other scenes throughout the show it's obvious that she's running in heels. However, for the chase scene in 2x18, I think she might have had on flatter shoes. I don't have a screen cap, but did anyone notice what she had on her feet when she jumped the turn stall? I'd think it'd be kinda dangerous, though … I mean, if her heel caught on the bar, or she stumbeled running down that stairs… that would not be good!!!

haha yer i don't wear heels that much unless im going out somewhere but i agree that it would be a little dangerous for her to be running full speed down two flights of stairs as well as jumping a turn stall. but does that really matter anyways?? she still looks amazing.

Well, I'm still a youngin', so I can't say I have that much experience running in heels. I have, however, been to many a Broadway show, and I always wear heels to them. I'm also an ice skater. So if I can run in ice skates, I can't say that it would be too much harder running in heels.

my favorite dress (and actually the only dress I really liked on her) is the one she wore in season 3 when they went undercover clubbing to arrest that drug dealer… 3x14 Lucky stiff. That dress was stunning, no wonder poor Castle couldn't think straight [Image Can Not Be Found]
