Script of Frozen and usage of the word for

Anna : Especially for a man in heels.
Elsa : Are you okay?
Anna : I’ve never been better.

I think that considering the context, the # 12 is close to the right meaning of for or do you have other opinions? What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much in advance.
