In her latest interview on 'The Unplanned Podcast', Raven-Symone, standing at 5'2", revealed she wore heels on the show to appear “thinner.”
“There is an understanding that if you’re short and you wear heels, it thins you out,” Raven said. “Cause if you look taller, the proportions work out.”

“When you look at 'That’s So Raven', every single outfit had heels. I would be wearing heels and pajamas sometimes, just because it makes you look thinner,” she added.
Raven expressed regret that her team had commented on her image and weight during her time with Disney. “It was a different time period. Nobody was my size at that time,” she remarked.
