honestly i didnt know shakira was that short!! is amazing how the camara can make people taller. I am 5"7, i am tall and beautiful, there is nothing wrong with being short or being tall...women are beautiful at any height. Few people wrote that is better to be shorter or that guys prefer shorter girl, for starters a lot of guys that are short surprinsingly prefer taller women. everyone has their own taste, some guys like short girls while others like taller girls...theres nothing wrong with having a taller girl, for example take katie holmes and tom cruise (beautiful woman and handsome man),a guy that doesnt mind going out with a taller women is much more confident in himself than a guy that feels weird with a taller girl. I do have to say that tall women are much more elegant..is portrayed in models, in barbies, and even heels (which main purpose is to add height ). so please dont talk bad about tall women...we are simply beautiful. For short girls that say that short girls are better than tall girl...just say "i feel good being short" bcux honestly most short girls are always on heels which contradicts their opinion, heels make u look taller not shorter!

i have got to say that im 5'5 and 15, and i dont like saying this,but im very hot and attractive!!!(had 2 get that out of my system)...anyways... short is not everything, my best friend is short so im not going to be mean about it either! but i would really appreciate it if yall would stop saying that short is better, its whats inside that matters, because looks arent always going to get you somewhere! But i do have to agree that guys like girls shorter than them..but lucky for me i've always had guys like me that were always like 6,0 and above...and some few shorties and some that were the exact height..anyways,....all this stuff that has been said has not made me feel bad about my height so anyone who is tall be proud of it and wear those tall heels with pride!!! :D

how come every time I leave a comment, it never shows up?
anyway, i still don't see her being 5'1.5" I think 5'0" was on the dot. When she first came out a few years ago, she was always described as five foot.

I have girlfriend. She is 168cm. I'm 176cm, and I wish she'd be a little shorter actually. I prefer short women. And i dislike tall women too, or well... That's maybe a little harsh, but well, I get a little mad on them, but that's maybe because I'm a little short:P Anyway, I'm hoping to get to 180cm.

Well here is one article which talks about it. Of course its a matter of opinion, some like them tall some like them small but I think in general men do prefer smaller women, plus I'm a small girl and I've got good proportions (small legs and a small body lol). Well at least if I wanna be taller one particular day I can always wear heels, but there is nothing wrong with being small. I personally would rather be small than tall.

Hey Jo, I think 5'2" is perfect. Christina Aguilera, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Salma Hayek, Shakira and many other hotties are this height and shorter. They don't seem to have any problems with attracting guys. I'm 6'1" and I love short women as do many of my male friends. In general, I'm not attracted to tall women.

I'm 5'2...and not particularly thrilled about it...would always have appreciated jus 2 more inches, and at 20, i can forget that ever happening. People like Shakira and Jada Pinkett do cheer me up and in fact it was never such an issue to me...until my younger sister shot up and is now 1.5 inches taller than me, and she's still 17. I now find myself feeling rather insecure about myself to the point where if a guy tries to hit on me, I catch myself saying to myself "you haven't met my sister...you probably wouldn't have given me a second glance if you did". I really hate feelin this way especially since I love my sis so much, but I just can't help it...

I understand you wanting to defend the tall ladies, but do not insult the short ones in the process. There are beauties on both sides.

The model-types: Tyra Banks, Adrianna Lima, Rihanna, Angelina Jolie

reet petite, show me where it says that in "studies". tall girls have better proportions. short girls tend to have really short legs and bigger upper bodies. not exactly a turn on. why do you think people were heels? to make them taller!

after reading all these comments about shakiras height i feel so much better, my height used to be a major source of distress (ok im 16 so like last week) but now im not all that bothered that im 5'1 and a half. especially what anonymus said that was v sweet. anyway shouldnt it matter how well in proportion people are and not their height?

Men prefer smaller girls anyway, its been shown in certain studies no offence to taller girls of course and its onli a matter of opinion but its been said that in terms of height small women are more likely to get married and have kids if they're between 4'9 and 5'2 than women who are taller, and men who are 6' are more likely to get married and have kids than men who are smaller. lol stupid I know but being short is certainly not a disadvantage if ur a girl.

It varies what she says, she's said she's 5'1 before now, but I know when whenever wherever came out she said she was 4'11, and she's said that in other interviews as well before, so I think she is 4'11 also because I dont see why someone would make themselves seem smaller than they actually are.

She seems to wear the same pair of shoes to every big event (or so it seems): on the day she went to New York (I think this is the same day she had the pic with Glenn) Click Here
At the 2005 MTV awards Click Here Click Here and the same day she stood besides Hillary. These I think are the same shoes I've seen her wear in a pic posted on here before where you can see the back of the wedge which looked around 12-13cm. I think 5'1.5 is a little over-estimated.
And happy 30th birthday Shaki!! lol (sorry I had to put that)

Yeah anonymous, but belive me 16 cm isnt an exageration for those shoes. I am short i wear shoes wich look tall but not that tall..and even those i just, measure it, are 10 cm. shakiras shoes are big big plataform, way much bigger than mine, u all can look the pictures of her shoes.they have at least 15 cm, being the min. is very obvious

I think 16-20cm in that photo is a bit of an exageration Mia, I'd say 12-13cm, and I'd say Hillary's were more like 5cm max. However Shakira has claimed that she is also 1.55 so I think maybe she is a little smaller than that because her heels do tend to be a lot higher than Hillary's and you dont see Hillary wearing heels like Shakira does. I am also 1.55 and I dont wear heels like Shakira's, so I think the 4'11 claim probably is true. She's definately not the 5'2-3 like some say, even if you haven't met her you can see it pictures where you can see her feet.

Maybe not always, but I have seen platforms that look 4-5" before on her and I just dont see why she wood feel the need to wear them if she was 5'3. Shes never said 5'3 before.

Maybe she was standing on something in the pic with zidane or maybe he isn't really 6'1 and Glenn does look like he's croching down a bit in the pictures. Maybe she is a bit bigger than 4'11 but i dnt think she is 5'3.

Well I've heard that her heels can be as much as six inches platforms before, but i wouldnt no. I only go by what she says, and she has never said she is any bigger than 5'1 i think and she would no best i would presum, so i just dont believe she is but that is just me.

Hmm so how big heels are you suggesting Teresa? That pic with Zidane she must be standing on higher ground if she's 1.50m. Heels simply wouldnt explain why she looks only a few inches shorter than glenn unless she was around 5'3" at least...or standing on a step! (which im sure Glenn could clarify)

If you ask for her height in Spanish (Shakira altura) they nearly always say 1,50m so I realy think she is, but peple in other places just like to think of her as taler because they cant accept she is that height. I think she increase it to satisfy herself a litle more and so peple wont make such a big deal about her being so small. Lots of peple say shemust be at least this tall because she looks it in pictures next to other peple, but in most you cannot see her heels, and as evryone knows they are often very big!

Lol, maybe she is 5'2 afterall then! Though i still dnt think so because she has said 4'11 before and in one article I read she said she was a proud 1.55 (5'1), but I still thought she would be boasting it up (like I think most ppl probably do) so i really dnt think she's any bigger than that.

Gotta agree with Jesse here. Glenn in normal shoes would be 5'9.5", and judging by the 3rd pic I think Shakira looks 5'7"? So at least 5'3" barefoot in that case. And if she was only 5'1" then in 4" heels she would only come up to Zidane's chin (who is 6'2.5" in shoes), and as you can see she comes up a fair bit higher.

to the dwarf, 4" heels do not add 4 inches of height. and also, he looks like he is leaning down just a little bit.

They put in an article quite recently that she said she was 1.55, which is 5'1, but I recon she's just boasting it up (its probably easy to appear slightly taller when ur constantly in heels). She's probably 5'1-2 with her shoes on, and 4'11 barefooted, and I read the other day when asked what she misses most about not being famous was 'going out in her barefeet.'

Shakira has said when questioned that she is in fact, 4 feet 11 inches tall. The very fact that sources say that she is 5.2 or even 5.3 is funny when all one would have to do is either ask her or measure her. Still she has more presence than otheres who are taller then her.

I believe she is 4'11. However, its funny how she manages to look so tall when she is in heels. Lil Kim also 4'11, wears big heels and never manages to look that tall. Its funny how heels can do a lot for some and so little for others. Shakira is practically Glenn's height in her heels and Lil Kim is still much smaller in hers. I noticed the same thing when comparing Britney Spears 5'4 and Kelly Clarkson 5'4. Kelly is still shorter than most men in her heels whereas Britney looks as tall as the men.

i attended the MTV European Music Awards last year in Lisbon and, despite standing a good 6 feet away, i swear on my life this girl is below 5'. someone mentioned 4'11 and i concur. really petite but she wears those huge plataform shoes with heels, which give her 5 or 6 extra inches.
i also saw Anastacia (5'1), Fergie from BEP (close to 5'4) and Baron Cohen dressed as Borat (tall guy, 6'4 maybe?).

Hmm... I always heard 4'11 for her too. I don't know about this 5'1. The 5'0 was fine, but I don't think she's over that. TV is supposed to make you look taller, yet she still appears to be very tiny to me.

I think most very short female and (especially) male stars would increase their height by a couple of inches to just go along with the crowd. I'm 5' and generally say I'm 5'1, but I love being little, I dunno why people see shortness for a woman as a bad thing!

I think she could be 5'0 flat though. When girls say their height not often will they inflate it by accident or on purpose but when you're like Shakira's height its possible she's boosting it up 2 inches. Because I've seen girls in the past that are 5'11-6'0 and claim to be 5'10.

I think you guys like to add cm to the celebrities as they get more famous and famous. Its actually funny. Shakira has been always listed as 4'11 when her career began. Even before when she was only famous in latinamerica she was listed as 1.50cm If u search on the net for her height and find old articles you see in most of them she was listed 4'11. Then she became 5 and now u list her as 5'11. So I guess if next year she wins more grammys she will be 5'2.Unless there are things wich really make adult people grow...do they REALLY work?

She must be shorter than 5'2, maybe 5'1 at the most. You can't really tell how tall someone is unless they're in their barefeet, which I'm sure she doesn't go out in her barefeet. I just don't see where this common 4'11 thing came from if she's really 5'2 like stated, and what would make J-14 decrease her height by 5 inches (4'9), which i dont believe but i recon 5' is most accurate.

I think she may be 5'2-5'3 because she looks to be almost the same height as Jennifer Lopez and taller than Marc Anthony at the Latin Grammys this past Thursday.

I read in a research study that men tend to prefer shorter women and women tend to prefer taller men, which makes sense to me, but its only height and im sure thats not at the top of everyones priority list.

I am 5' and it kind of bothers me.. My favorite television show is America's Next Top Model, all of those girls are tall and beautiful. I just wish they would have a 5' model to show that short people can be beautiful models. I have the hardest time finding clothes that fit my petite figure. I think if the world had more petite models and petite items in store's it would boost our confidence in so many ways. I am really small everywhere except for my breast. I have a hard time finding bra's my size, because im so small around I wear a 32D. If I buy a bra from any store I have to get a 34C or 34D and it is no back support. I have seriuos back problems from my breast. I think that if they would make things such as bras to fit Petite women they wouldnt have so much trouble trying to fit in with the rest of the world! If your woundering, no I dont have breast implants.

I'm also 4'11 and I assure everyone that the way you carry yourself is what makes you seem even shorter. Most people, unless they're standing right up against me, think i'm 5'1. Shakira carries herself well which automatically adds a couple inches to peoples' perception of her. And I doubt she has a height complex. I may hate being short but that doesn't mean I feel inferior to those taller than me. Shakira's use of shoes/tailored pants is to keep the focus on her music and dancing and OFF of her height. When you see her dancing with a guy, she doesn't want you thinking how much taller he is. Hiding the huge heels used to put herself closer to average, is just smart or else people would spend their time looking at her feet and not her beautiful face and body. I applaud her for doing it in so tasteful a way.

I hope Shakira is really short because I think, especially when I was growing up, there was too much emphasis on 'tall is beautiful' and 'short is frumpy and childish' basically, and as a 4'9" adult, I think there should be more short people in the media!! haha

The 5’0” figure seems to be right on the money. I’m a short guy myself, 5’5” and live in California. Shakira made an appearance at the local K-Mart and was signing autographs and taking pictures with fans. While waiting on line there was a delay at one point as she needed a break. The couple in front of me left as they could not wait any longer and this meant I was next in line. After about 15 minutes I was allowed to go into the room with the photographers and the promoters and saw Shakira sipping a soft drink as she had just completed her lunch. What got my attention was that she had her shoes off next to the desk where she was sitting and they looked like elevator shoes. In fact, they were the same shoes that she is wearing in the pictures some have linked from this site. When I saw those pictures I thought to myself “boy those shoes sure do get around”. She was obviously barefoot and after she signed my autograph book she stood up for our picture and before standing slipped into her shoes. After the picture was taken and we were shaking hands I was able to gather that that she was about one inch taller than me. In 6 inch heels that makes her about 5’0”.

I saw her in concert a week or so ago...I didn't get to talk with her, but I was pretty close to the stage so I could see her well. She was barefoot and looked really small, like a little child! Honestly,from further away you'd think it's a child hopping around on stage...SHe was a lot shorter than all of the cameramen, technicians, instrument players etc. I could buy 5'0"-5'1" but that's it! by the way, one of the prettiest women out there, honestly now. She wasn't wearing any make-up (or so little that it looked like she had no make-up on) and still looked gorgeous!

They're all over 5'7, and I don't think any guy in his right mind would kick them out of bed, lol. Be proud of your height. As far as men go, if they (or anyone else) uses your height as reason to 'dismiss' you, they're not worth your time anyway.

Come on 5'0?...I'm pretty sure Shakira is 5'2" ....lately she is appearing on tv performing Hips don't lie barefoot. Take a look to her concert in Lisboa (Rock in Rio) Click Here and compare her size to the man who sings Hips don't lie with Shakira (no Wycleff)and she looked like 5'2" or could be more. Or you can see the video of her performance in Saturday night live (La Tortura feat Alejandro Sanz)and she wore sport shoes and she looked tall..

Or you can see the video of her performance in Saturday night live (La Tortura feat Alejandro Sanz)and she wore sport shoes and she looked tall..

im a huge fan of Shakira (well i had 2 say that) and also very petite (5ft) but i cant see how she can possibly be 5'2 with so many ppl doubting. Most people ive heard that have met her have said shes TINY! but 5ft 2 isnt that TINY! i cant blame her for exaggerating her height because i probably would if i was famous in America (where size seems to matter). and yep she does manage to fool everyone with huge heels even in her barefeet. Take a look at her feet in this pic next to wycliffe jean (is it just me or does there appear to be some kind of wedge under her sole?) Click Here

The heels & pants seem to give away she does seem to have a height complex, i just noticed when hearing the song "dont bother" on the radio these lyrics:
"She's almost six feet tall
She must think I'm a flea
I’m really a cat, you see
And it's not my last life at all"
hehe, clearly it affects her. and yet from the picture it seems the 6' guys seem to get the little chica's aswell..thats just depressing ;/

I'm convinced that Shaki is no taller than 5'. ALL articles that I've read about her and all interviews/tv shows say that she's 4'11" so I'd say that she's around that height...Plus, I have the same small size CBGB T-shirt that shaki has and it hits me at my belly button and I'm 5'2"...So, by size association she's a little shorter than me...

Shakira has been seen a lot of times in 8'' and 9'' shoes (with platforms of 3 and 3.5 inches). Also, there is an article of her when she had just started her singing career. The magazine states her height back then as 1.48 m (4'10'')in 1995/96. Given she has grown an inch or two from then on (the first, most likely), she is either 4'11'' or 5'0'

It shouldn't matter Lucy, but unfortunately it seems to. People do judge other people on height. However, it's not so bad being female and short. In fact a lot of guys find petite girls really cute. Being a guy and short is a different matter. Short guys (say 5'5 and below) can discount about 80% of women as romantic prospects, before other factors like looks and personality even come into play. Unless they are rich of course :-)

Shakira happens to be of Lebanese hertiage. From my personal experience, I can say that Lebanese women tend to be really TINY. One of whom had I had 'personal experience' with was all of 4'10"! Looking at some the pics of Shakira, I can say she's no more than an even 5 feet. She's very clever with the thick heels she wears and how she conceals them. 4'11" isn't farfetched for her at all. Lebanese women just tend to be small, that's all. It's a cultural characteristic.

people magazine gets the heights straight from the stars publicist. in 50 most beautiful people alicia keys claimed to be 5'8", Bai Ling 5'5", and Tom Cruise 5'9"!!!!, so clearly all the heights are exaggerated. shakira has been mostly listed as 4'11", so the 5-foot height gives her the benefit of rounding up. either way, i think she's probably around 5 foot in the morning, 4'11" after a hard day of dancing. either way, she's gorgeous and talented!

Er Shakira's heels look different in the VMA but now i see the possibility of her wearing 5-6 inches heels. that would explain why she's about 3 inches taller than hilary. but then if she's 5' then Hilary would be 5' too. or they could be less.

I`m colombian and most girls here are pretty small so I do think she may be 5 ft probably less. The fun thing is that she is from the north cost of Colombia and women there tent to look like huge ugly gorillas so that`s probably way kids in her highschool days make fun of her.

i used to think shakira was 5'2", but check out her heels on here
her heels are a good 6.5 maybe even 7 inches. i think she can look 5'2" because she wears MASSIVE heels and hides it with clever pants a lot of the time. but when you do catch a glimpse at her heels, a four-incher is a small heel for her, usually five or more. i don't think she would wearr such high heels if she was 5'2". i think she's five foot at the VERY most, but hides it cleverly with special made heels and pans.

She is 4'11" because a few years ago, i found a pic of her with the cast of harry potter. She stood next to emma watson who in 2001 was also 4'11". Emma was in heels and Shakira was and there was a two inch difference.
