Shakira's Height
5ft 1 ¼ (155.6 cm)
Colombian Singer best known for songs such as "Whenever, Wherever", "Hips Don't Lie" and "Waka Waka". In Maxim Magazine she said in regards to Britney, they are the 'same height', but also from that magazine "When I was little, they used to make up all kinds of things, always playing on my name, like Cachita instead of Shakira. And now I get Shak, Shak Attack, Shaki, Shakazulu, Shakarita...but my classmates also used to call me Enana, which means dwarf, because I was always the tiniest one in my class." On being asked if she wanted to be taller she said "Actually, I like being petite. When you're small, people tend to protect you and treat you in a soft, gentle way. And I like that. I like getting demonstrations of love and affection. Who doesn't!
In a video Shakira also described herself as a "5 foot 3 girl from Colombia"

I was shocked when I saw her in real life. She is tiny in a way that 5 foot 1 is not. Miniature? Yes. Like a perfect, miniature adult human.
I don’t believe anything over 5 feet and only accept 4 foot 11 because I really don’t have a way of gaging height at that level. 4 foot something is what she is.

I think that Shakira's height is exaggerated at 5'1+". In the past, her height has been listed as 4'11", and I think that was a fair estimate back in the early 2000s. Shakira is always wearing heels and platforms just to "look" 5'2".

She has a first cousin, Valerie Dominguez was a former Miss Colombia and is listed as being 1.75M. I don't know if she's that tall and the only picture I saw of them wasn't ideal.

I think a lot of people would underestimate what it takes to learn 5 or 6 languages fluently. It is impossible to memorise tens of thousands of words within a short time period and retain them long term. You really have to spend a lot of time listening and reading in the language, enough so that words repeat and you start to acquire them through natural repetition. No wonder at least 90% of people on language courses quit! You have to work super hard to develop it. I swear I feel like a different person since I started, I reckon it's the most amazing thing you can do for your brain, it changes how you think in other areas too! Respect to Shakira!

Seems about right, always thought 5 ft 0 seemed too low. A rare talent, beauty and brains combined, unlike Lady Gaga's 166 her reported 140 IQ easily looked legit, she speaks 5 or 6 languages fluently. That's what I'm aiming for long term, it's extremely taxing on your brain! You have to know 10,000 minimum to understand a language, 6 languages that's at least 60,000 words!! Fortunately Spanish, Portuguese and Italian have a lot of similarities between words but still!

Editor Rob, look at this pic of Shakira in Britney Spears. Both are wearing heels, but the sole of Britney's shoes looks to be 1/4-1/2 inch, while Shakira has at least a two inch platform. Even with that advantage, Britney still has her by 1.5-2 inches. Shakira has to be at least 3.5 inches shorter than Britney. I've also seen pictures where she was shorter than Avril Lavigne.

I remember she was about the same height as Glen (who was about 5'6 though he claimed to be 5'9), when she wore heels. So she could be in the 5'2 neighborhood.

This is about accurate. The link below shows her dancing with Barcelona players. She's wearing lifts, but looking at them I doubt they add more 8-10 cm to her (putting her in heels at 166cm). Next to Pedro,Xavi,and Bojan who are (168-170cm) she looks about their height. A tat shorter than David Villa who is 173cm, while next to Gerard Pique(193cm) and Sergio Busquets (189) she's only slightly above their shoulders.
Robb, is this accurate? Also what kind of lifts are these? They look easy to walk in and add significant height.

This definitely needs a downgrade. She is a SOLID 4'11....maaaaaybe 5' on a good day, but nope - not 5'2".
Also - SHE stated that Britney was small - like her (Rolling Stones interview - she's on the cover).
She also wears a size 00/0 (XXS) - you can't be that size and curvy, unless you are short.
and it was hell finding sexy shoes in her size, so.. no shoes in the shoot!

In Spanish-language magazines and TV, her height has always been (in interviews as well) at 151-152cm.

To editor Rob: She claims to be 5'3". Yet I saw a bio special about her made for Chilean TV where she is described as being 150 cm and Mexican TV show interviewed a co-star of hers from she she used to act in Colombia who said that she short and that didn't fit into the prototype of other Colombian actresses because of that. Every magazine article I've read describes her as even shorter than says she is and I have yet to find a single magazine interview or show dedicated to her where she is described as being any taller than that. If she really was 5'3" you wouldn't just see journalists describe her as being 4 inches shorter than she claims to be (which is too off to be on anyone's height to begin with) you would see people describe her as four inches taller than she claims to be (5'7") yet no professional journalist seems willing to go on the record as saying she's taller than she claims, only shorter.

Erica when you curve you'r legs it's easy to look short especially if you are 162 witch means .. NOT SHORT but NOT TALL .. SO YOU CAN HIDE YOU'R HIGHE BY WEARING A VERY VERY HIGH HEELS SO WHEN YOU LOOK TALLER PPL WILL THINK ITS BCUZ OF THE HEELS AND IF YOU WITHOUT HEEL YOU CAN CURVE YOU LEGS AND WEAR A HAT SO PPL WON'T NOTICE THAT YOU ARE NOT SHORT ...

SO YOU CAN HIDE YOU'R HIGHE BY WEARING A VERY VERY HIGH HEELS SO WHEN YOU LOOK TALLER PPL WILL THINK ITS BCUZ OF THE HEELS AND IF YOU WITHOUT HEEL YOU CAN CURVE YOU LEGS AND WEAR A HAT SO PPL WON'T NOTICE THAT YOU ARE NOT SHORT ...

@zeinab I have read countless magazine articles where even the journalist interviewing her will mention that Shakira is short. Angie Romero described Shakira as "4 feet 11" on the September 2009 issue of Latina. Click Here (And good job deppfan.)

actually i want you all to watch all her video clips and look at her tall harms and legs in hips don't lie she is the same height as me ...
i'm an architecture i know about measurement ..
and i also know a lot about psychology she started to sing very young and when she got older she felt unsecure about being tall woman after she was known for her cuteness and young age so she took advantage of being 162cm not really tall to play this trek to look younger ..
sorry for my bad english

If someone measured her while she was shoeless, she probably would reach 5' on the dot. She's shorter than Pink, who isn't exactly tall, herself. I wouldn't even be surprised if she was 4'11. Female celebrities fudge their heights as much as male celebrities do.

I met her when she came to India to perform way back in 2006 or 2007 at a party thrown for her by my friend's father. I was 10 or 11 then and had just crossed the 5'0" mark. When I was talking to her (she's a super nice woman, BTW) she seemed to be about my height, and both of our shoes had approximately the same heel height. So I guess she's in the 5'0-5'1" range.

She can't be 5'2, and is most certainly not 5'3. I think she's applying the Hollywood two inches.

Shakira has been quoted as saying she is 4'11.
And Ali, 5'1" is not the average height in Colombia. There's a big mix down there just like in Brazil where they found Gisele Bundchen and many other models. There are many Colombians mixed with German or African which are both known for being tall.

Really? All you see is a 2-inch advantage? That platform looks just as tall as the one she's wearing with Gerard, and Selena has no platform at all. Also, with Gerard, let's say he is 6'3.5", making him 6'4.5" in shoes. At a head taller, that puts Shakira at 5'7" in those shoes. Giving her another benefit of the doubt, and saying she's only getting 5.5 inches from those heels, puts her at 5'1.5". The likelihood that EVERYTHING is in favor of her being taller is slim, plus she still winds up shorter than what's listed here. I really can't see her being taller than 5'1, which is average in Columbia (Nevermind people in her own country calls her short...)

Okay, done! Selena Gomez is listed at 5'4.5" on this site. I found a picture of her in regular 3-inch heels or so, while Shakira has on heels with what looks to be another insane platform. Shakira has to have at least a 3-inch shoor advantage, yet is the same height as Selena, if not shorter. Rob, please explain this!

No way she's 5ft 2in (157 cm).
Back in the mid 90's, when she was starting her career and singing in Spanish only, she said in a Mexican tv show "I'm just 152 cm"
To be more accurate, she said that in "Siempre en Domingo" (Always in Sunday).

Dwarf? 5'1.5 is above average in Colombia (her country) or at least average. I think women's average there is 5'0-5'1. I went there a couple of years ago, I am a 5'5-5'5.5 girl and even in flats I literally towered over most women, while most of the men were more or less my height, with a very few exceptions.

I usually don't upgrade celebs but I think shes closer to 5'3 based on pics I see of her and Jlo who you inexplicably have at 5'5 but is closer to 5'3 or 5'3.5. In those pics Shaki and Jlo look almook the same height and in some Jlo is about a half inch taller. Even at 5'3 Jlo should look considerably taller and she isn't not to mention at 5'5! Jlo should tower her! An upgrade to 5'2.5 or 5'3 is in order for Shakira.

I agree that heightism is alive and well in society these days. I'm constantly reminded by others of my height (5'1). I've worked in a uniform shop for school kids, and I can't tell you how many times I've been told I'm shorter than a primary school girl. That I'm the average height of a 10 year old (which is bull by the way). I constantly hear mothers say "Oh my daughter's tall for her age" with absolute pride. I was there when one mother was telling her daughter that she was unfortunatley going to be short. It's funny because I never remember caring at all about my height in school. There were other girls the same height as me and some that were smaller. It was never an issue, so it's weird to see in my adult life that it seems to be an issue now. I've never been ashamed of my height, I never even lie about it, I'm exactly 5'1 barefoot. I don't know why people find it hard to believe that celebs can be short too, there are a lot of short women around. I also think that this obsession with height has come from the fact that models are believed to be the epitome of beauty and they are mainly over 5'10. I mean when you think about that it's over 5 inches above average height for a woman. No wonder even girls at 5'6 think they're short when you're expected to be much taller to be a model. As for men they can be models at 6 foot, which is only 2 or 3 inches above average height for them.

Jackie, I don't think people are trying to be cruel when they comment on your height, it's just that when you see a woman who is out of the standard range, i.e. less than 5'0 or more than 5'10, it turns heads. Not too long ago, I saw an extremely tall woman, and asked her her height. She said 6'2. At the time, it didn't seem like a big deal. But, now that I think about it, I'm sure she's asked that question multiple times, daily. Height that's out of the norm is interesting, so people feel the need to comment. That's all.

theman--
I can't reach that height with heels because I cannot wear heels. I have a brittle bone disease which has made me short, so walking on heels would inevitably send me on my way to the ER. The highest I can wear are like an inch and a half--and that has to be a chunky heel on a boot, not a stiletto! And I don't like to think of myself as a dwarf--I'm short but proportioned. If I do think of myself as a dwarf, it just makes me more depressed and suicidal. I actually quit my job the other week because too many customers insulted me about my height and it just made me too depressed to continue working. Heightism is the new acceptable form of discrimination.

When will people understand that the height has always been about men?Plus i find relatively short woman more attractive and I'm not the only one...(see scarlet Johanson voted sexiest woman on earth!)
It goes sth like this:
Short woman:Take advantage of it most men will like you even more!
Short men:Ok you feel a little discomfort in clubs but seriously this is childish to think that it affects your life that much,just live,i see tons of short men dating beautiful women many inches taller than them in the end only miserable self centered close minded dicks will judge you for this since it's not your choice.

Jackie take it easy. As a girl 4'8" is short but not the end of the world. So many women are 5' to 5'4", with some heels on you can hit near that range. Think how much rougher it is for men who are 5' and under, they can't wear heels, and average height is much higher. To get suicidal over it is not good please speak to someone. If the reality was as bad as you thought there would be no dwarfs on the planet. I see many dwarfs that lead healthy happy lives, that is what counts, height is interesting but not a real reason to let it determine who you are and where you can go in life.
The reason people dont consider it rude is because height means nothing.

As a 20 year old standing at 4'8, I do have to agree with most of the people here in saying that being short SUCKS. You get comments all the time, but you can't react to any of them because most people don't think it's considered "rude" to remind someone that they're short and joke about it. It's made me suicidal many times in my life. I hate hate hate it and I will never accept it, and it's one of the things that just makes me sad about my life and my future.

I'm from shakira's same city, and everybody here know that her family were almost rich already when she was a kid. She was studying in a very good private school here with a lot of classmates wich I suppose were tall(considering the fact that the average height in families with better economic status is bigger), so you can not use the average height of Colombians for this. Sorry for my bad english by the way.

I think height does matter and everyone wants to be tall but height is something which we cannot change. I think we must accept what we are. Rather than regretting your height I think you should change what you can change. I am 5.2 but I have a very fit body, I exercise and I care about my diet as well. People think I am attractive. There are girls who are very tall but they are fat and have no good structure and they look strained of confidence. Hence try to creat your own strong points. Creat a body to die for and tell me who says you lack something....

the average measured height for girls ages 18-22 in Columbia is 5'2.5. So, I seriously doubt she is only 1/2 inch shorter than average, if they were calling her a dwarf.

Now, this is a picture of Shakira and Penelope, with Shakira getting the camera advantage, and still being a lot more than 2 inches shorter:

3 things-- 1) petite women are sexy and beautiful and they have lovely proportions. I speak as a 6-ft man whose mother was 4'10", so I know. 2) sounds like a lot of people never went to South America. If Shakira tells you all the other Colombian girls called her a dwarf, you can take 5'2" with a big pinch of salt, believe me. Finally-- every petite woman I ever met(including my mother) has fibbed about her height. So I'm going with the 4'11".

Well, it would be better to know the real height of Glen.... or maybe Shakira got an poperation to enlarge her legs. It's incredible , because in the most recent photo's of her she looks almost the same height of the colombian president and all the people next to her, singers of the band Mana, Alejandro Sanz, etc. Or maye all of them are shorter tahn 1.65cm

I don't know if someone has said this already, but this isn't a forum to debate the merits of being short, tall, or cut in half, and it doesn't exist so you can give your life story from a height perspective! We're here to debate Shakira's height. I too have heard many different guesses, and I'd have to suggest she was easily under 5'2, though how much under I don't know. Whatever her height, the woman is absolutely gorgeous!

Yeah, I think the 4'11'' claims are a bit short! No pun intended. Shaki never looked nearly 11 inches shorter than 5'10+ Wyclef Jean. Don't forget, Clef wore shoes and she goes barefoot when dancing. I think this height is a good estimate. She has a style of her own!

She just doesnt look that short. Maybe because she does belly dancing. She looks 5 foot 2 in her video clips. She is a hot latino.

In the beautiful liar video clip with beyonce she seems tall maybe because she was wearing heels. I would say she's 5 foot 2. She does look tall.

Glenn said she was "normal short". She's 5' tall (she said she's 4' 11" and so did her dance teacher). Glenn was probably a flat 5' 6", no Portmans, bending and Shakira in her monsters.

ROB: There are a lot of heights floating out there for her. I've seen credible sources report 4'11, then I've seen other credible sources report 5'2. Which height do you think is accurate? Me, myself, I'm thinking about 152cm.

It all makes sense now. I could not understand why so many short ladies looked tall next to Glenn. Now, that we know he was lying through his teeth about his height, it's time to do some major height changes. Rob, how long do you think it will take you to clean up the site, after Glenn's BS?

About the Shakira and beyonce video. it was the camera angles that were shot makes beyonce and shakira look the same height. a person of 5 foot can look the same height as a person who is 5'9 if the angle of the camera is right. shakira has refered to herself before as 5'1 and beyonce has done the same as about 5'6. but really 5 inches isn't really that big of a difference when you are stood together.

Glen, how big were her heels?? Cuz I just saw the pic of you and kristin bell (5'1") in which you were leaning, now these and (5'1.5") Shakira, and you don't look much taller than either of them, I'm not being mean in anyway what-so-ever or doubting your height as a 5'8" guy, just seems someone your height would be alot taller than them even if they were in heels. They must be wearing some huge heels!!!

Shakira is right. A lot of guy love petite women. I'm one of 'em. My height? 6' 1" My last girlfriend was 5'1" She liked tall guys and I liked short girls. I've noticed that a lot: you'll see a short girl with a tall guy. It does bring out the protective instinct in guys. Any girl that is walking around thinking being short is a problem is creating a problem where there isn't one. However, it doesn't hurt to have a body like Shakira's either :-) A tall girl could never have a body like hers. FYI: watch Shakira in concert: she performs in bare feet.

In the behind the scenes in beautiful liar. Beyonce did not wear any shoes and Shakira wore about 4 inch heels. The director said this way they could look more identical. Other wise Beyonce would really tower over shakira.

I am 5'2" and a little bit and very attractive. I travel a lot and I see all kinds of women, short, average, tall. It is not your height that makes you who you are, is what you think of yourself and who you are inside that makes you who you are. The way that you carry yourself makes you beautiful or not. I believe that every woman can be sexy and attractive. All you need to do is love yourself and take care of yourself. I see petite women that carry themselves as queens, and I seen tall women that carry themselves with shame. If you don't love and accept yourself at the height you are, even if you were taller or shorter I promise you that you would still have the same low selfe-esteem. On another note, half of the women I see every day are my height or shorter, or maybe an inch taller. And I meet hundreds of people. Just love yourself! Shakira is very beautiful.

I don`t get it. If Beyonce really is 5'6-5'7 then Shakira could`t be only 5'1.5. It`s about 13 cm difference! Did you saw the Beautiful liar clip? Does it look like a 13 cm difference? and they don`t wear any shoes at all in the dancing-rolling part. This could be posible only if Bee was about 5'4, but Bee really seem`s taller. Maybe Shakira isn`t so little. 4'11????You must be jocking

My mother was even smaller than Shakira and I was always amazed how she could walk into a room full of people a head or more taller than she and just take over. (I'm a 5'11" guy.) As soon as she walked in, everybody turned to look. She wasn't loud or flamboyant, but she had a totally killer smile and incredible grace and poise, and always--always, even if she was just going to the local shops--looked terrific. It's not about height, (and it's definitely not about platform shoes,) it's all about projection, style, attention to detail and focus. Watch Shaki sometime, not in performance, but in interviews, and see how she uses gesture and body language to make the space she's in her own, and then radiates out from it. The trouble is, I think, that lots of people slouch around and don't project well; if you're not very tall and you do that you're in danger of vanishing altogether. All those deportment & carriage lessons they used to teach kids were actually useful.

I'm 27 with 5'2 height. Before, it has always been a complex for me especially when I used to go to the parties and weddings where most of the girls are tall and attractive, but time by time I understood tht we have to accept however we are and only then when you are fully confident, you'll see how attractive and sexy you are. It doesn't matter how taller or shorter you are, first of all you should understand how important you are to the other people, tht takes every barriers and complexes out of your life

I think being short is more convenient than being tall in many ways. I'm 5'5", and my mom and sisters are all 6' or slightly taller. Out of all of us, I'm the only one who doesn't tower over my husband unless I want to. My husband is all of 5'7", but if I wear flats, I'm still shorter than he is. If I want to look model-like, all it takes is some heels, and I can rock it tall and willowy style. Being short is great because you have the choice. Tall women, as my mom and sisters have pointed out to me repeatedly over the years, have no choice, and according to them, sometimes that's no fun. I'm glad I'm not tall!!

I'm Canadian/Latina and I'm around 5`0-5`1 and sixteen
and I do have to admit that somtimes when people comment
on how short I am (at school) I do get self conscious (haha
I can't spell) but at the same time I feel like I'm
very blessed because I do posses a figure that most women
or *no offense* tall women don't have. because I'm
shorter I have a more curvier figure but somehow I still
wish I could be taller, because the media makes me
believe that being tall is being beautiful when in reality
being beautiful doesn't matter how tall you are.
I came to believe that height doesn't matter in love. love is love
and it doesn't care what color, culture, height or weight you are
love just finds you and likes you the way you are. I admit, I love tall guys
who are more "built" then lanky but when in comes down to it
,it doesn't matter if your tall,short or average.
when you feel chemistry you forget all
and the same goes with guys. I believe women can posses elegance and
beauty and have sexiness whethere they are tall or short just look
at the models *some* who are sexy and elegant (ex. Gisele) and
some shorter women (ex. Salma) who posses the same attributes.
I truly believe that it's confidence that makes you stand out
and posses sexiness and beauty and when you accept yourself
-all of yourself- only then will nothing be impossible and
when you will really be/feel beautiful just the way you are.

You can make yourself look tall depending on the type of clothes, not just color, but lines and stitching. She wears clothes that accentuate her body but that also allow her to look taller then she is. It's all about perspective and deception to the eyes and hollywood is great for that. Why would she lie about her height that just seems like such a juvenile thing to do in the first place. And to everyone who is arguing that people say she is 4 11 r 5 2....who cares they are so close in height that she could be 4 11 without shoes and 5 2 with them. I am 4 11 and 3/4in tall and I know all about that. She also looks taller then people seem to think because she is not stocky like some short people are, she is small and lean which only helps her look taller.
Also in the first picture she doesn't look like she is standing up straight which implies that she has some help from other then her shoes. In the middle picture Glenn doesn't look like he is standing up straight at all and by the looks of that guy in the background it seems that they are standing on some stairs. Glenn looks like he is leaning backwards leaning on something other than Shakira. Finally the third picture Glenn also does not seem to be standing up straight here either. She is at least 3 inches smaler in the third pic and based on how is body seems to be curving he is leanig our crouching to her height. Don't you ever try to get on someones level when taking a picture?

i'm another anonymous. to defend anonymous stuff, its bc, why use names on the web....its just stupid and unsafe if your paranoid type.
as for shakira's height...i would say she is 4'11. think of the way her fat distributes. generally, tall ppl get belly bulges and thighs/arms don't look muscular but skinnny. granted she belly dances but she doesn't thigh dance to get muscular legs like that. even look at eva longoria, as skinny as she is, her legs have these muscular curves to them as well as her arm. now look at a victoria secret model.
also how does what you say sarah relate to what anonymous wrote? it was a little unclear to me and maybe they wouldn't understand either. i think u should explain more so that anonymouses and others and myself can understand bc until ur post i thought socom was the rude one.

Well it is possible Sarah if your footwear was bigger than Shaki's (she might have been in her barefeet like she is a lot), what did she say when you said she couldn't be 5'2 by the way? I've read in most sources either 4'11 (don't know why but must come from somewhere) and 5'2 (because she apparently has said she is) but I also read somewhere in a magazine where she said she was a proud 1.55m which is actually 5'1 so she might have got confused over the different measurements we tend to use in the UK and US (feet/inches) whereas most countries I think use metre/centimentres. She always looks really tiny though on stage in her barefeet (not because it's from a distance lol). I'm 5ft and I think she looks about my height to be honest.

Look anonymous, you are being very annoying. In fact i have actually met Shakira, i asked her how tall she was she said 5'2 then i said thats impossible ypu must be 5'0 coz im 5'0 and im the same height as you! So there anonnymouses keep it quiet and if you do think that what you're saying is right you better use your real name.

Socom, by not answering the question, anonymous sort of got his/her point across...that you did infact anyone shorter...which is OKAY, we've been brought up in a society that is power hungry, and height is equivilant to power to some. It's like wealth, beauty (for girls usually), being white, etc, etc.
--And I'm 4'11.5, very insecure, but totally okay with you.

Shakira is a good person, I love her songs. Nobody has the right to talk about shakira like that anyway. It don't matter who you are. An SOCOM, you are a nuisance for saying that about someone. It doesn't matter how tall you are. Who cares how tall you are? Nobody, as long as shakira likes it, theres nothing to complain about. That is so childish of you, trying to pick on somebody height ~ how tall are you?

"Me" As a majority, Hhispanic women are short! These doesn't mean all, but most. There is nothing wrong with this, it is a fact.
I am hispanic and I am 5'4". My sisters are both 5'5". My best friend who is Mexican is (mostly Indian) in 5'3" and she is the tallest in her family.
Most people want to be tall, so this is why so many people out there are so Obsessed With Height.
It's not a big deal.

socom, you're dumb, what the heck would you know at what height it's possible to be proportional and at what height you can't be proportional. for the record, i'm taller than 5'1", but i just find it really ridiculous when people come in and say "oh, she's proportional, you can't look that good if you're below 5'2.5", so she definately must be above that height, blablabla". Is there a rule that states specifically below what height you can't look good? did u read it in a book somewhere? I've seen tall girls with odd proportions, it's possible at ANY height, likewise it's possible to be perfect at any height as well. are you saying judy garland, who stood at 4'11.5", and kylie minogue, who's just above 5', have bad proportions?

she's 1.52 m, in an early interview, when she wasn't so famous and sang only in spanish (1995 i think), she stayed "i'm only 1.52!"

One of my friends met her in person in Madrid.
It was in a supermarket, she was surrounded with 10 people and wearing a hat in orther to no be recognised. My friend asked her for an autograph, on which she reluctantly agreed. Not a nice person, far from her pleasant image, or maybe she was angry for her cover being busted.
My friend is 160cm and told me she was petite, much more smaller than him, plus he find her much less atractive than in her videos, maybe it dealt with her stumpy figure.
It's imposbible her being only 4cm smaller than my friend since he was startled with the different and he's quite aware he's quite small. He didn't told me a guess in cm but made a gesture with his hand to depict the small space she filled up. At the very least 3 to 4 inches smaller.

This woman is short and she is "stubby". She is barely 5'0. She may not be the shortest hispanic woman out there, but in American standards, she's short.

She cant be less than 5'1, I dont care what kind of proportions you have, you cant look like she does if you were under 5'1. Accept it, she is 5'1 or taller.

Latin women's average height is 5'1. A colombian supermodel could be 5'1. If Shakira is an Enana in Colombia, so she's definitely shorter than 5'. In most countries of S. America, noone call you Enana, if you're 5' or 5'1.

She is definitely short (not average) I don't know if she's very short (4'11) or just short (5'2) lol but in pics of her barefooted (remember she had/has this tendency to wear huge footwear) she sure looks diddy. I mean I still don't know about this 4'11 thing, but if she was any bigger than 5'1 I doubt people really would have been daft as to put her as that short if she was close to average as some people have said lol.

she can't be 4'11 because she's always next her guitarist and she's almost his height and he's at least 5'5 (and when she's wearing heels she's taller than him about 3 cm) so i think she is really 5'2 and 5'6 with heels or even 5'7 i don't understand why evrybody says she's 1m50 she isn't it's impossible she's minimum 1m55 + with glenn in the picture she's just 5 or 6 cm shorter than him and 3 cm taller than him with mega heels glenn is 5'8 so she isn't short bye

I agree with you Jessi. I'm only 13 years old, but I'm already pretty tall - 5 ft 6 in. My mom is 5 ft 8.5 in. I don't think that I'm gonna be taller than my mom Well maybe. But to be the same height like Beyonce,Rihanna or Ciara - isn't so bad. Before, I thought that it is a bad, you know, like one of my minuses. Cus I' taller than my friends (most of them),but when I found this web site,I find out,that to be tall is beautiful. And now I don't think that way,that I did before. Of course,I really like tiny,cute, and pretty girls like Eva Longoria. But I like tall and sexy girls like from Victoria secret ;) I think,that you should be satisfied by your heihgh. If your small,or if you are tall. Just find you pluses ;))

What's up with the heated "short people rock and are beautiful" defensive crap? Who ever said they weren't? Chill out. We all know that some of the most gorgeous celebs are tiny chicks (Alyssa Milano, Rachel Leigh Cook, Hayden Panettiere). There are also beautiful starlets who are amazingly tall (Famke Janssen, Rebecca Romaijn, Rihanna). Beautiful comes in all lengths people. Not just tall, not just short, not even the happy medium (usually 5'5'' or so). I'm 5'10'' and a half, and my bf is only 5'8''- but guess what? He thinks tall women are hot. To each his own. So, be beautiful at 4'11'' or 5'11''-and helpful tip: date people who prefer your height range, like me! Works out great.

Well, anyway I'm 4'10.5 and Colombian and I don't care what anyone says, but I've been hit on by all kinds of guys short, tall and average height. Men who are even over 6 ft. tall and good looking. I've always been confident about myself though and I think as long as you have confidence people are going to be attracted to you and if there are people who hate on you for your height well then those people are not important they're just shallow and insecure. By the way, I'm pretty sure Shakira is in fact 4'll'' I've heard it from a couple of places. She just wears tall shoes.

oh and i also think its valued bc its a natural thing given by God. u know how ppl like to rub that in. "i never had to study for tests, i never have to watch what i'm eating, etc". heights also one of those things.
being short has humbled me...i think thats the benefit for me!

i wonder if this comment will go through. society values height. and why shouldn't it? it correlates with wealth. in the old times, taller people were the richer (bc of diet, etc)...in any culture. just like the color white (from staying inside, and healthy frame then (good food intake) skinny frame for girls now (junk food is less expensive so rich afford qlty dining and have time for better cooking or hiring) or small feet in China (didn'twork all day straining those feet). for men, its also a symbolism of power, like good muscle structure, etc. hence, the reason short women are not selected for or against but short mean are selected against!
but it all works out, tall girls that don't value height tend to choose avg-shorter guys and they pb prefer that (my uncle did). tall guys generally prefer petite (i guess cuz everyone is petite) to them.
i do wish i was taller now rather than when i was younger bc i see how one is treated. but i also realize the real culprit is one's status through wealth and education. moved from detroit to a rich neighborhood with one of the best houses and ahead in classes with enough looks to make short comments a thing of the past...or only brought up when they also ask how much it was to install a pool and jacuzzi!

Most of hollywood is 5'2". So if she is considered tiny she must be much smaller than that.

Im a hispanic and 5ft 2. I enjoy being petite. The good thing about it is i can always wear heels to add a little height not like other women who are too tall and when they wear heels they look really tall. It just doesnt look right.

Latin women can be any height I know some that are close to 6ft and some that are just shy of 5ft I myself am 5'5"..the idea that latin women are short is a generalization..anywho skakira appears small..possibly 4'11"

I'm five foot and it's really weird because I take pictures with my friends and sisters who are all at least four inches taller than me and I'm not even wearing shoes and I still look almost as tall. It's really weird.

I agree with Duck wholeheartedly...being so short just makes Shakira that much sexier! I love petite women. There is nothing so exciting for me as to stand next to a grown woman who is 4'5"!

The thing I've noticed people always mention when anyone mentions Shakira is her amazing weird voice, her dancing/hips (obviously lol) and her height. It seems people are fascinated with how tiny she is and I've read in magazine sources from people who have met her that she is really tiny so I don't see how she can be any bigger than 5 foot really if thats the case coz although 5'2 is pretty small it's not exactly tiny or small enough for people to be so amazed by. Plus she wears huge platforms quite frequently and although they may be just of a preference thats not linked to height, if she was this 5'2-5'3 that some people say she would appear fairly tall in her 4-5 inch plats but she just comes across as just about average.

Is it just me, or are all Spanish girls supposed to be short? I'm Spanish and I'm 5' and 1/2". My doctor says I'm not going to grow anymore, unless I'm lucky and grow another 1/4 inch in the next 2 years, but that's it. Not like I'm complaining, because I like being short...

no-one is saying short is better, but heels are about sexiness, the way they make your legs look. short women wear them to add height, so that people will shut up about their height. i am my other short friends wear flats, because we are happy enough with our height not to feel worried about people commenting on height. but on a night out, nothing can make you feel good like a pair of heels, one inch or 3 inch high.

The average for a white woman is 5'4 (not 5'6) so she would be the equivalent of 5'1. Hispanic and Spanish women are generally slightly shorter, not all of course but most Hispanic/Spanish women I've met are more petite like when I went to Spain there were a lot more women my size (1.53m). I don't think Shakira has ever said she is 5'2-3, she used to say 1.50m quite frequently and I've read 1.55m in an interview before though that could be a boost of a couple of inches like I've done before but I don't think she is any taller than 5'1. She is in good proportion though and girls in good proportion like me can come across as being average/tall in pictures and at a distance, like when I've told people my actual height or they stand next to me without my shoes on they have often been very surprised to find I'm little over 5' lol.

Okay, Karina, so maybe your family is tall for your ethnic group...or you are exaggerating your height? But I spent almost my entire life on the border and have known more hispanic women than white women, and I can tell you that the average is 5'2" not just from personal observation, but also from medical statistics. It's nothing to be embarrassed about either. Believe it or not, most men actually prefer shorter women. Our white friends think that my 4'11" wife is tiny, but our hispanic friends think she is just slightly below average...which is true of their ethnic group. In fact, we know a fair number of hispanic men who are shorter than her! But regarding Shakira, she is 4'11" tall and is only a little below average for her ethnicity. It is the equivalent of a white woman being 5'3". Regardless of her height, she is a knockout, and the fact that she is so petite only amplifies her incredible sex appeal.

im white(and from the USA) and im 5 ft, shorter than all the asians and lations i know and have a body like Shakira's!my mom is taller than me (by 31/2 inches- i was supposed to be the same height as her. who knows how that happened. i got good nutrition and sleep and exercise). it is true that there are trends in height for different races and nationalities but there are exceptions. im happy with the way i am and so is my husband (he is 6 feet and 1 and a half inches!)I think i look a little rediculous standing next to him (but he feels like an awkward giant next to me, lol). and of course obviously it is alot harder to kiss but anyway Shakira is 4' 11". She said it herself and most sources list this as her height too so i'd say it's safe to say that she is.

I love this web site because makes me feel much better!! I'm mexican and I can tell is a BIG LIE hispanic women are that small. I'm 5'2 and I feel like a dwarf while being at school, or with my family also. My little sister is 5'7 (14 years old), and my mom is 5'6 and I wish I was as tall as them. At least 5'4. My friends make fun of me because I'm definely petite and tiny. I dunno why lately heigh has became that important. I feel like any handsome guy is going to fall in love with me because I'm too short, even must of the people tell me Im pretty, they tell me Im alike allison mark (Cloe in smallville). But "how could a hot guy love me if I'm this short" Shakira is pretty awesome, and guys love her because she dances really cool. But a common girl like me don't have that. And also there are some few guys who likes short girls like some in this page, but tell me: "where am I going to find one", must of the guys don't like short girls, at least here in mexico.
But anyway reading in this web site makes me feel better, because girls like fergie, shakira, hilary duff, and more are about my heigh..
Anyways I can't do anything. I'm sixteen, on september fist i'll be seventeen. I think Im not growing, I wish hot guys liked short girls, don't care if they are 5'7 or 6'2!! :)

Hispanic and Lebanese women have a tendency to be quite short, not all of course but many. I don't think it's too hard to believe she is 5 feet, or even slightly less, because she's frequently seen in huge platform heels and still doesn't come across as tall, and in her barefeet on stage she looks quite tiny so 4'11-5' is belivable to me. 5'1 at most.

Duck, i think your hispanic argument is a little weak, hispanic is such a general term. shakira is half lebanese on one side and of italian background from her mother's side. There is no "hispanic" height standard really. if you get into specific nationalities then maybe there is something.

Shakira is 4'11". Why is this so hard to believe? That is not unusually short for a hispanic woman. My wife is also a 4'11" hispanic woman, and when we get around other hispanic women, a good one-third of them are her height or less. So why is it so hard for some people to accept that a hispanic woman who just happens to be famous is slightly under 5 feet tall?

I think that everyone is really underestimating her height. I agree with zellynnicious and irina. I think she is around 5'3. 5'1.5 seems a little too low even for her. You can definitely be 5'3 and still look like a dwarf next to certain people. Just a thought...

Actually, tall girls can remind guys of children too. It is independent of height and relies more on the actual shape and figure of the woman. A nice figure is a nice figure, whether it is on a 5'2 frame or a 5'11 one. Different guys like different things.

We have got the exact same problem! My little sister is about two inches taller than me. I hate to say this but I really don't like standing next to her in public. I know... I'm insecure. Anyway, I'd much rather be taller than shorter. In my personal opinion, 5'6" is the perfect height... and there is no way that I'll reach it.

No I think 5'3 is too high. I've seen distant pics of Shakira and Hillary at that event and Shakira's heels looked quite a bit higher than Hillary's who I'd say had normal 2 inch heels on and Shakira had platforms on. Click Here My guess is they probably add about 4 inches to her height because they come up of the ground by about 2-3 inches at the front of the shoe so at the heel probably goes up even further, but as you cant really see (camouflaged by her trousers) its hard to tell. Also Hillary looks like she's slouching over slightly and so does Will. I think 5'1 is about most accurate. And I'm 5' as well (other Anonymous) and I love being in my barefeet though I do love wearing heels too :-)

Amandaa: Not a single one of those photos show feet. When posting pics on this site, that is essential. The reason I tend to think she is smaller is because everyone that actually knows her and comments on her height says 4'11". One example of this is her choreographer. If someone spends a great deal around a person, I'm not talking a few minutes here and there, but like a back-up dancer, choreography, relative, I tend to lean more towards what they have to say.

Amandaa -- You're right that she's about 5'3". Looking at those pix, I very much doubt that she's 5'. She likes to perform barefoot, and I had the suspicion that she's not as short as 5'. I'm 5' and I wouldn't be caught dead without my heels in public :-)

Pffff dont downgrade her so much, shakira is not that short!! She look 5.3 definetly!!!
Look at these pictures next to beyonce, doesnt look that short next to her. And next to hilary duff, she is a couple inches taller. And next to will smith (without heels) she doesnt look short at all, especially when you see pictures of will and his wife jada, who looks in heels shorter than shakira next to will. SO PEOPLE STOP DOWNGRADING HER...

As a 15 yr old girl I feel short or average at my school being 5' 3" and that is only one inch away from average. I have a small body though and therefore get called tiny a LOT. I don't appreciate it but everyone thinks its a compliment. But this is about Shakira and I think she could be 5' at least.

Just a note concerning heels/height: In a book I was reading about the history of fashion...Heels were not invented to make women taller. They were made (surprise! invented by a man) to make women seem more restricted and doll-like. Odd, but that's what it said.
And no one is saying that short or tall is better. Both are great, I mean without variety, the world would be boring.

I am 4'11" and Im almost 15 in a few days. I actually hate being short sometimes but then again its kinda good becuase I cando some things that taller people cant do. I am a good track runner. I'm one of the fastest on my track team of about 200 people. So that is one good thing about being short. No one ever believes me that im fast but this kid goes around calling me mrs. forrest gump because i am so fast. All my friends are taller then me,but i dont care so much but sometimes i do. I have a twin sister who is 5'5" and she always makes fun of me telling me to grow, but I cant help it. But one reason why i am short is because i was born 3 months premature.

Taste is relative. Some people like being short while others enjoy being tall.
'Catwalk models' are generally tall and thin because their bodies are supposed to work like the hanger for the clothes. This is why the models for each show pretty much are made to have the same 'look' & absent of expressions.
'Bikini models' (for example) are generally shorter because a shapelier figure is desired.
Again, it's just a matter of taste. After all, they make mu mus too yet not everyone wears them.

Whats all this about short it better? Why would they make high heels if short was better? and why do you have to be 5'10 to be a catwalk model?
I'm 5'5", not tall, not short either, i love my height :)

shakira looks gorgeous being any height! but there is no way that she is 4-11 and has heels that make her look 5-6. Christina Aguile and lil kim are tiny and they look tiny. shakira looks like she has a regular height.
