Why could I see Galadriel's crazy platform shoes?

Why was she idly walking in circles while the old men sat down? Was it to emphasize her willowy height? Would this not have been more effective if it were not quite so obvious that her willowy height was fake?

Would I have noticed if Fellowship was not so scrupulous in showing her bare feet in Lothlórien to establish that, yes, Galadriel really is that tall and elven and barefoot? Probably not. Given that Fellowship was, however, so scrupulous, should An Unexpected Journey not have followed suit?
