Pint-sized Tom Cruise is believed to have had a little help from shoe lifts in the past.

And perhaps Matthew Vaughn could done with a raise during a night out with wife Claudia Schiffer.

As the Kick-Ass director and his supermodel partner attended the 30th birthday party for fashion label Guess in Paris, the blonde bombshell couldn't resist slipping into a pair of leopard print heels.

Already standing at 5ft 11in, this meant the German-born star towered above her 6ft husband.

Claudia
looked typically striking, somehow making her very casual look of green
jeans and a black sweater look worthy of a red carpet event.

The
41-year-old spruced up the laid-back ensemble with a chunky bangle and a
necklace from the Susan Caplan Vintage Collection, that reportedly has a
cool price tag of 295.

She
threw herself into the spirit of the occasion, cutting the giant cake
with photographer Ellen Von Uwerth and designer Paul Marciano at the
George V Hotel in the French capital.

Meanwhile,
Matthew, also 41, looked rather serious in his suit, but also dressed down
without the need for a tie and leaving his stubble in place.

Mother-of-three Claudia – who first featured as a Guess Girl at 19 – told WWD: 'Shooting the Guess 30th anniversary campaign was like going back in time.

'It brought back so many great memories and has been a lot of fun working together again with Ellen and Paul.

'Guess will always have a soft spot
in my heart and I’m excited that, 23 years later, we can still work
together so successfully.'

Adriana Lima, Eva Herzigova, Carre Otis and Amber Heard have also posed for the brand.
