It is one of the downsides of having a statuesque girlfriend - how do you stop her towering over you when she wants to wear stilettos?
The answer, according to Sir Mick Jagger, is to get a pair of higher heels yourself.
The singer donned a pair of built-up trainers to reduce the gap between himself, at 5ft 10in, and girlfriend L'Wren Scott, 42, who is 6ft 4in.

Building up his part: Sir Mick's trainers
Sir Mick, 66, wore the Nike Air Force 1 trainers to the New York premiere of Shutter Island. The shoes cost just £30 but gave him priceless extra inches.
He is not the first male star to wear built-up shoes but most - such as Tom Cruise - choose a hidden 'lift' inside the shoe to save their pride.
U2 frontman Bono, however, wears his heels with pride. The 5ft 7in singer has opted for a pair of platforms on many an occasion - including when he met with German chancellor Angela Merkel to discuss aid for Africa.
