Arguing about 1cm looks strange. The difference between morning and evening heights of some people may be 2-2.5cm. Also, the method of measuring may give a variance. For example, if someone stands very-very straight and tries be as tall as possible, he would be measured near 1cm taller than if he (she) would stand straight but rather relaxedly. I even don't say about the deviations, which different measuring devices have. So we may say, that Gisele is in 178-181 range dependently of the time of a day and the way of measuring. :)

Ideal height for a supermodel is 5"10. If she would be 5"10,5 the agents will list her at 5"10.. See models like Candice and Adriana... The agents both list them at 5"10, but Adriana is clearly 1 or maybe 2 inches taller when she is standing next to Candice. 5"11 is for most agents the maximum.
I believe Gisele is a strong 5"11 .
And about the shoesize.. Im 5"11,5 woman, and I wear shoesize 8 (39EU). Shoe size doesn't say anything about the height.

I'll have to admit that pictures of several models being photographed together can be total mind****s. Recent pic.
Click Here
Heights according to fashionmodeldirectory, from left to right.
Karlie 5'11, Coco 5'10, Doutzen 5'10, Christy 5'10, Iman 5'10, Hilary 5'11, Lily 5'8.5, Jeisa 5'9
Karlie has been described as tall as 6'2 but with such a height being listed in your vita you're not likely to get booked. Hilary might as well be 6'0 but she's towering over almost everyone here. She seems to wear suede boots. The magic model size is between 5'9 and 6'0, it doesn't strike me as a surprise that so many models are listed at 5'9-11 but in reality appear shorter (Jeisa) or taller (Hilary, Karlie).

I think that Gisele who is half a head talle rthan L.Casta the Former VS Angel is almost between 5'8" and 5'9". As for ALessandra, if Lima is 1.74cm, something what is real, then she is 1-2" shorter something that makes her 5'7.5".(In addition, I know that Alessandra is 5'7"ish because she is not much taller than Lily Aldridge who is 5'5"ish.)

Because I couldn't find where to post these heights of another Victoria's Secret models I decided to post'em here. Click Here In the pic. the "black" model who is 4th from the left side is said to be 5'8" and the "white" model next to her is also said to be 1.75. But considering from the height that the brunette model says, which is 1.73, but all the models lie about their height, so I put her a solid 1.66cm, HOW TALL is the white model?

Rob, look what I found:Click Here
Is an article from 2000 (Gisele was 20 yo) that describe her as 177 cm (5'9.69").
5'11 was too much for her, but I thought she was 5.10, well 177 is close to 5.10.

@littlesue;
UK6 for a 5'4" lady is proportionate. 4-5 inches taller, and it would be a little small. For a 5'11" woman its very tiny. In Brazil, Women 5'11" tall usually wear a UK7.5/8, and we don't have particularly big feet in relation to our height as do Americans.

Tiny shoe size?? I worked in a ladies shop shop and I would say a UK size 6 was one of the most popular sizes along with a size 5. Tiny I would say a size 3 and under. Of course for her height she could be a size 6, my mate is 5ft 10 and has a size 4, she is very narrow and small boned though

If she lies about her height and really is 5'8-5'9, then that explains her tiny shoe size: BR37/EU39/USW8/UK6.

To say she's 5'9 is a joke. She's atleast 5'10 if not 5'11. I'd say 5'11.
It's much more difficult to for models to lie about their height. They can get away with at most 1 inch difference. But it doesn't seem necessary for her considering she's one of the taller of the models, already. If anything, she may try to underestimate her height as 5'11 is on the upper limits of what is wanted in the modeling industry.

It's typical for models in general to tend to round up, so 5 10.5 definitely is plausible. But then how tall does that make Leo D who was in fact, in Gisele's own words, shorter than her? I guess he's even closer to 5 10 then we thought.

@lel: actually, runway and fashion models are required to be tall because sample sizes on the designer clothes tend to be that big, and designers dont want to readjust it for shorter models, but thats not the case for kate moss, bambi and devon.
5'10 looks right, she looks 6in shorter than tom, but models' heights can be exaggerated because models under 5'10 usually have an inch or so added

Why is it that you have to be really tall to be a model, yet the wealth of celebrity magazines which have appeared over the last two decades are full of short and average height actresses and singers with comments about their outfits (obviously with the purpose of selling the clothes).
because they stand out and make it look more beautiful than the average woman.

P.M you have made many mistakes in your calculations, if you are rounding to three significant figures, it would be 0.394, meaning the answer could increase by a great deal. Paddy is right 6'0 = 182.88 cm, i should know, i have a height measurer in my bathroom, and i'm 183 cm which is very slightly over 6 feet

yeah I agree with you that they will bump hannah up in the near future..just make it look like she had a legit growth spurt or something. i agree with gisele being 5'10 flat too, and as far as marisa miller goes, i found a picture of her where she looks very short.Click Here I don't think she's any taller than 5'6-but hey, the more power to her. but i do know that she never did runway really, she's more commercial/some editorial. but i still find it hard to believe and i think she gets airbrushed in a lot of photos to appear taller than she is. same goes for selita ebanks they look about the same.

I'm having a tough time reading her because she hasn't done much work yet. I get a 5'7.5 feeling from her also, generally. But then in some pics she looks taller...throw her in Prada resort and she looks shorter. I'm sure she'll get bumped a little more in the near future.
Img's heights are a bit exaggerated, but so are others. Maryna Linchuk is listed as 5'11, but she's an inch shorter than Snejana, and a little taller than Edita V. That's about a 3 inch jump.
I think Gisele is 5'10 flat. I always thought she looked an inch and a half shorter than Karolina, who I take to be 5'11.5.

Yeah, that's a good point. I guess if you look at girls like marisa, selita, and even miranda they are not really high fashion- i mean they've all done some high fashion but they are mostly commercial models. I think miranda is 5'7, and i think marisa and selita both 5'6. Possiably even 5'5..

Andie is about 5'7.5.
There are quite a few up-and-comers who are not that tall, Hannah Holman for one. If a girl is not so tall, but has good proportions, then she can usually pass for taller. That's why a lot of girls that are listed as 5'9-5'9.5 are really about 5'7-5'8. Even girls that are 5'9 are sometimes listed as 5'10-5'11.
As for why the height requirement is pushed, it is true that taller girls have a higher chance. Its more likely that a tall, lanky, semi-pretty, kinda quirky girl will be signed and do runway work than a shorter girl with the same characteristics. The shorter ones that get signed usually have a certain unique quality that throws the height bias out the window. Kate Moss is the classic example of that. Natalia Vodianova isn't that tall either, and neither is Sasha Pivovarova.
The other thing to consider is that VS is a different sort of runway work, because its very commercial. Height doesn't matter as much. Miranda Kerr said a few years ago when she was starting out that she was just under 5'7. She may have grown since then, but probably not by much. Marisa is quite short as well.

what do you really think of Gisele's face? Honestly if she were not tall would you think she is stunning? The amazing ones are Carol Alt, Kim Alexis, Paulina, Douchen Kraus (not sure of spelling, she is the VS girl), Adrianna Lima is ok, but honestly I have always been puzzled why Gisele is considered beautiful facially, her body is great, but the face is only a 5 or 6. There are a couple of new VS models, names I do not know yet, that are mind blowing beautiful, so please do not say I am jealous. etc, I am just wondering...

There are a couple of new VS models, names I do not know yet, that are mind blowing beautiful, so please do not say I am jealous. etc, I am just wondering...

I have a question for people that know a lot about the modeling world. okay, why is it that there are a bunch of girls that are not 5'9 that are succesfull models but agenices and tv shows on modeling always seem to make such a big deal about the height factor? is it really a crucial thing, or do agencies just not want to be swampt with shortie wanna be models..?
And i know it helps to be tall if you want to make it as a model, BUT the thing is even if a girl is listed at 5-8/5-9 many times it's a false listing. example marisa miller -almost everyone who has met her says that she is 5'6 tops, and she is a very succesfull model.

I've met two supermodels and both were far below what they claim. Adriana Lima was 5ft 8 - 2 inches less than official. Elle McPherson was 5ft 9 or a little less - 3 inches less than official!!

theheightguru-well said. i agree that because of models there has now been extremism on what is considered attractive. even the straight-non-designer guys who are looking for a girlfriend, if they are shorter then average, then they want a tall girl because again they admire the extra height. something they don't have. to be honest though, it is easy to get consumed by looking at taller women and thinking you need to look like them to have a great body. i think that most guys usually don't even care or notice a girls height. i used to really want to be tall (i am 5'5/5'6ish) and i know now that i should just be comfortable with the height i was meant to be. and also, to the girls who seem to think that only taller girls should be models, i hope you are looking at the other side of of this too. girls that want to be actresses, if they are really tall it is harder for them to get work because a 5'10 women, especially when she is wearing heels, would tower over almost any leading man hence most actresses not being amazons.

Taylor and Elise,
It's sounds to me like you have bought into the notion that being a model means that someone is 'superior', and that widening the definition of 'beautiful' diminishes the advantage that models are 'supposed to have' over the rest of the population. Please try and remember to be critical thinkers sometimes. Clothing designers, fashion houses, models, etc. exist primarily for one reason-to sell products. They can't do that without FIRST convincing people that their product satisfies a need/want. Don't you guys find it a bit odd, that most prominent, male fashion designers are shorter- than-average themselves, but won't hesitate to think less of a model who's shorter-than-average? It's possible that their motivation is to find a model whose body type is closest to the dressform that the outfit was sewn on. However, I think it's also possible that a lot of male designers feel inferior for being shorter-than-average, and admire models for having something they don't-a taller stature. I think this, in combination with commerce, and the mistaken belief that beauty equals perfection, has caused us to create a sense of extremism about what's considered 'attractive'.

As a a person who's been following fashion all my life, I agree with Elise. Short people are beautiful & can be models, but not high fashion models. The clothes just look better on tall, thin girls. I think short girls should be able to do runway, just more catelogue stuff, not high fashion.
Janice Dickinson had a heart attack over Plus Sized Modeling. What do you think she'd say about Petite Runway Modeling? -_-

@Alex!!:
I'm 177 cm (5' 9.5") and I don't think it would be fair to let average height people catwalk.
Just BECAUSE taller people sometimes wish to be shorter.
If you're tall, everyone looks at you strangely. Especially if you're a woman.
The world of fashion is the only world where we are recognized as normal.
And even though I think models shouldn't be as extremely thin as they are, you need a certain height to be a model and that's good.

Kevans...for men, i usually look at tall, handsome men first, but for women, i find average-height beautiful women to be more attractive than tall beautiful women. Avg. height women seem more womanly and feminine to me than tall women. IMO.

I am a signed male model with Elite Model Management and i have this to say..
I can understand what you mean by "height" requirements and deals being out of proportion, but the fact is that most models have LONG legs which is ideal...
Just about EVERY MAJOR FASHION/CLOTHING line sells pants/jeans... And if you were a designer you wouldn't want a person with "short" legs wearing your jeans would you, especially since the ideal jean length is somewhere around 30-32 i believe...
Personally, i'm 6', i'm 6'1 with boots by the way, and the fact is that agencies HAVE to have tall models
*it's like for instance if you go out or go to the mall or are at school, are you more inclined to notice a TALL beautiful person or an AVERAGE heighted beautiful person??

to be a a model for say victorias secrets you have to be 5'9' - 6' (175-180cm)
personally i think most of the models there are hot, but not because of their height! their bodies are curvy and nice faces... height has nothing to do with it! if the models were not famous, and just on the street, no one would look at them twice. Sometimes because of their height, being so tall they can look lanky, and unproportioned! i just don't get why they have such height limits on modelling!! (i know that the clothes meant to sit better or whatever, but in my opinion they sit just as well if not better on regular height people! most tall people even say they wish they were shorter!
opinions ?
not having a go at tall people or anything, i mean you guys can actually model if you want! just curious to know what people think as i just don't get the whole height deal.
im almost 170cm.. i dont want to model, these are just some thoughts,...

I stood next to Marisa Miller when she was wearing flat shoes and she is realistically 5'4-5'5, probably closer to 5'4. Very petite. I'd guess her weight to be around 98-102 lbs.

I agree with 5'10.5". The woman is tall and extremely skinny, but not freakishly tall.
No way she is 180 cm, but she is most certainly over 176.

by that comparison on the TRL show I think Kurkpva was an inch taller making her 5'11.5". We all know agencies try to make changes in models height cos they don't want you to be too tal. I don't think they go as far as an inch. Gisele is definately 5'10.5" but Kurkova has been brought down by 0.5" so that she suits the Market. Designers prefer women to be 5'9"- 5'11". Oluchi is a full 6'1" girl but gets listed at 6'0" on her agency profile. With men 5'11" -6'2" is ideal so if you are actually 6'2.5" the list you at 6'2" & if you are 6'3" they list you at 6'2.5"

I have met Giselle in Paris. I am 5'11 and was wearing slightly higher than average heels. She was wearing very large Dior platform shoes...at least four inches. I was still taller. I would give her maybe 5'9''. She looks so tall and long because she has tiny slight bone structure... this gives her an elongated look in her photos. The narrower you are, the longer/taller you look. The wider your are, the shorter. The Lucky and beautiful girl, but she is not that tall.

A lot of people think you have to be at least 5'7 to be a model. Thats only for runway models and even they prefer the girls to be ideally 5'9-6'0. For commercial modelling or fitness modelling you can be well under 5'7.

I wouldn't have guessed her at 5'11 to be honest. She doesn't give me that impression. I'd say more 5'9-5'9 1/2 she looks. Maybe 5'10 max.

I was scouted by a modeling agency, and when I met with the agent he asked my height, 5'6" I replied (he was scribbling on a piece of paper) and so he said: well but you never go out without shoes, right? "nod", so we'll write down 5'8" which is what was printed on my composite card. All of this just to say that, unless they have a perfect height for the market they're in, models lie about their height.

Adriana Lima is only about 5'7.5" to 5'8", and she's shorter than Giselle. And Tyra Banks is 5'10" in flat shoes, and she's taller than Giselle.
So, Giselle has to be 5'8.5" to 5'9". At the tallest, she's 5'9". I'll admit, she has some VERY lanky legs, though, and probably LOOKS well over six feet.

i hope this comment is going to post... there is something wrong with this site... many of my comments havent posted! and it makes me tired... Anyway... I dont think Adriana is 5'9''-5'91/2. Some people that have met her said she is 1.74 = 5'81/2. I have found her listed as 5'8''=1.73

Regardless of her height, Gyselle has one of the sexiest bodies in the industry and even if she was only 5'8 she'd stil be number 1 just because she stands out so much on the runway. Don't you reckon? You can tell her apart from the other models, her walk is amazing ses very confident

i have no idea why this height is still sitting there when there is so much evidence that she is nowhere 5.10.5". Karolina and Gisele did a height comparison on TRL and KK (who is 5'11'', my friend, who is 5'10'', met her and said she was a little taller). Look at this pic. KK is not even standing up right and still has at least 2 inches on Gisele. When KK was proven to be taller, Gisele gave this "whatever" attitude. She wants to be considered she is so tall to be able to live up to her big name in the industry:

Look how tall and slim Gisele looks on her own but next to someone who is 5'11'', you can see her true height.

its the impression that the top models make... like they are huge wonderful women.... people like gisele because they believe she is very beautiful and different. now if one day i am going to learn that gisele is not tall or gisele had plastic surgery or what we see in magazines is fake because there is strong photoshop behind... then gisele is not so special and then her popularity goes down... and then she is not going to be the most popural so she is not going to be booked for so many jobs... i hope i am clear

In a harpers bazzar photo shoot they said she was "a natural phenomenon at 5'9" or something close to that, it's on utube. Also si covergirl Marissa Miller is surprisingly short (but still beautiful of course :)) at probably 5'5/5'6. Seriously google: 'Marissa Miller Heidi Klum Erin'. and there is a full length picture of Marissa with heidi klum (and 2 other girls). Klum (who is wearing flats)is at most 5'8. She is standing next to Marissa who is wearing atleast 2 inches heals and Marissa is still a solid couple inches shorter then Heidi. So yea anyway the point is models lie about their height all the time. Models should be from 5'8 - 6'. Gisele is probably just rounding off her height. Some like Elle Mcpherson are a bit too tall for industry standards so they say they are shorter then they actually are, vise versa.

Of course alot of agencies always lie about their model's heights, I live in NYC & see models all the time, I'm not tall but not short either, when I first moved here I expected to see models as tall as skyscrapers (lol im exaggerating, but you catch my drift) when I saw some of the VS models on their way to their agencies I was surprised to see how short some of them were, now don't get me wrong some of them were very tall like the blonde karolina. Then seeing Ambrosio & kerr, they were so short i'd have to say only 5'8.Klum & Miller, shortest at 5'7. Plus this isnt the first time places have lied about their models height if you look up on CBS.com about 2007's VS fashion show it says Alessandra Ambrosio righty or lefty: & it says righty, look in all her pics of her signing autographs & she's cleary left handed, i have no clue why'd they lie about that but they did. So don't be surprised when you see your favorite model & become dissapointed of her height, sometimes they're legit but sometimes they lie to get more jobs (i.e. the ideal model)

Gisele is def 5'9-5'9 1/2. Alessandra is 5'7 1/2-5'8. Adriana Lima is from 5'8 1/2-5'9. Kerr is 5'7-5'7 1/2. Kurkova is 5'11-6'0. One of my friends who's def 5'10 (she's super tall, sometimes i think shes 5'11) met Gisele & Alessandra & took pictures Ale was wearing wedge-type heels giving her a 3 inch boost, Gisele wearing flats (these were @ diff times) I've seen the pics, Since my friend is 5'10 & Ale wearing 3 inch heels Ale stood only 1 inch taller then my friend who was in flats. With Gisele, Gisele was 1/2 shorter than her she's also wearing flats. So that makes Gisele 5'9 1/2 & Alessandra 5'8 though the picture makes me feel almost like she maybe even only 5'7 1/2. She's def alot shorter than most of the models.

I'm 5'3-5'4 last measured at the doctors & im 13, my parents took a picture of me & alessandra next to eachother when she was shopping she was wearing flipflops smae as me. My dad says she looks kinda shorter then what they say she was only like 4 inches taller then me. she's probably 5'8 max maybe even 5'7.

I think it isn't about height/weight. It is about the whole package. Some women look better while carrying more weight some when they are thin and same goes for height. For instance Nelly Furtado and Eva Longoria are superhot short women. Gotta say that I wouldn't mind spending time with Gisele or Charlize Theron either = )

That's a really ignorant statement to make. Doesn't even make any sense to me actually. You are also probably short, and insecure about the height you are at to make a comment like that too. Most guys could care less about a girl being tall or taller (Unless the are a head taller or something). Gisele isn't anything less than 5'10" also. Anyone who can judge height properly can clearly see this.

lol, I see her and pretty much all of the victoria secret girls all the time in regular shoes (I live in brooklyn and see them all the time in manhattan).
Bundchen is at max 5'9" and that is generous. I'd guess a shade over 5'8".
In fact last year she and Lima were at blue ribbon and both were wearing thin soled flip flops in line in front of me, she is about half an inch shorter than Lima and Lima scrapes 5'9"

It doesn't really matter if this measurement is off an inch or five! The only thing that models need to be is gorgeous and tall; and tall is classified as taller than the average height (your height)!Whether 5'11 or 5'8 they are still making the money.

for some reason girls feet don't grow that much
apparently a person's forearm is the same as a person's foot (i've checked)
and ive noticed that guys and girls who are tall,
guys' forearms grow along with their upperarm (so their feet will too) whereas with girls their forarm sorta stops growing and their upper arms keeps growing...
she is definitely 5'10.5 though she doesn't look that much shorter than tom brady in heels

Have you noticed that she has little feet? and i read somewhere that she wears 7-8US/38-39EU size shoe so if she is 5'11" how can she wear a little size like that? I think she's 5'9, 5'10max.

from lara's picture giselse looks even shorter then 5'9. i mean kurkova lists her self at 5'11 and tyra banks at 5'10 and tyra looks like she has an easy inch and a half on her. she could be even shorter. with the heels its hard to tell, cuz the hells add easy 3 inch.

Tom Brady always seems to dwarf her in pictures, and he is about 6-4 I believe. And by dwarf, I mean her head comes to his mouth in flats. That has to be 7"+ difference. I'd have to say 5-10.5 is much too high here. Maybe 5-9?

in the picture below, seriously two that look their real height is Karolina Kurkova and Tyra Banks. Heidi, Giselle, and Adriana are all definately shorter than 5'10''. Heidi looks about 5'8.5'', Giselle looks 5'9.5'', and Adriana looks 5'8.5'' or possibly 5'9''. it's hilarious how these models lie about their height!!

I stood next to ambrosio.. if she is 510 then I am 5'9.5 and that is CERTAINLY not true lol. Both of us were wearing flip flops and she was an inch taller. so id say 5'8. not any taller. her legs are not long she is not long limbed but pretty short for a model and small boned. not even built like a model- gangly and long.. like giselle or kurkova. I have seen kurkova. def. very tall. 5'11 she is a bean stalk :) a cute one. giselle and andrianna too, have stood next to them .. both very tall. adrianna is truly 5'10. ambrosio is the shortest ive seen so far.

Are all the models heights listed with their heels on? Because they all look shorter then their listed heights. Other the Karolina Kurkova I dont any of the victoria secret models are as tall as they are listed. I would say these girls heights bare feet would be as follows
Alessandra 5'7
Adriana Lima 5'7.5
Gisele 5'8
Tyra banks 5'9
Karolina Kurkova 5'11

Rob I think you should update her height to about 5'8.5 to 5'9. Look at her pictures next to Tyra banks who you have at 5'10. Atleast 1 to 1 and a half inch difference. I would give Gisele 5'9 max.

it's a common fact that supermodel agencies are always inflating the heights of their models, and stick by that height for the rest of their career. Gisele is no taller than 5'10'', she might even be 5'9.75''. adriana lima is definately not 5'10'', she's at most 5'8'' or 5'8.5'', izabel goulart is 5'9'' or 5'8'', and alessandra ambrosio is seriously no higher than 5'8''.

why would she lie? It is usual to women lie about their heights. Shorter and normal women often add 1 or 2 inches to their heights. Others says their hights on shoes or boots. It's not strange they lie about it.
I give her 5-10 tops!.

Gisele is well beaten in that pic with Kurkova.... Kurkova isn't even standing straight but has at least an inch fair and square on Gisele. I think she has Gisele by at least two inches if she stands straight.

It's extraordinary imo...she is wearing very significant heels and Henry, who is 6'2" on his best day but more 6'1" imo, looks to have 4 inches on her all up...
could Gisele be more 5'9" or 5' 9.5"???

She may not be 5'11. but she pretty close to it. I think 5'10.5 is right. On the tyra show, she was only a little taller than tyra. OK, too the comments down below, in the industry nowadays agencies are more accepting of taller girls, and wouldnt downgrade ur height, unless ur over 6'2, but most of the time they upgrade it. And genetics basically determines height cause my parents are both 5'6 and im 5'11 and my bro 6'4, so u can't really predict ur kids height!!

Lol - her height isn't that important, she has the whole package - exquisite face, amazing balance and perfect proportions.
So many think that all you need to be is tall to be a model. Height is secondary to how beautiful you are.
There are also 2 classic model types (for fashion) - runway and print (magazines etc)
Few models can be equally sought after in both types.
Very few tall, thin runway girls are beautiful enough for magazine covers and cosmetic campaigns and not too many covergirls are booked solid for the shows because they aren't usually tall or thin enough.
If I had to criticise Giselle (oh to criticise perfection) it is that she is too thin.

Thierry Henry has an advantage of 3-4 cm on her, and looks like both of them are slouching a little. And Gisele must be using heels.

Well Gisele likes to wear ultra flat shoes; sometimes they don't even have a sole to them. Tom likes to wear thick soled sneakers. This is where that difference comes in he looks 6'6 while she is still 5'10.

Most agencies lie about their models height. Me knowing personally because I'm a model myself and I know that they add height. They usually add as much as 1 inch because 2 inches is a little too much.
So yeah a lot of these girls aren't as tall as they seem except for some who are really tall like Gisele, Tyra, and of coure Karolina.
I really don't think the other girls are that tall!

modeling agencies fudge measurements about models to get more clients and boost the image of their models. I have heard celebrity news shows comment saying Gisele is 5'11 and other saying 6'0 when she is actually closer to 5'9 to 5'10. Also Alessandra is only quoted as being 5'10 by her agency; almost every other site says she is 5'9. Plus in the pictures of her and adriana, Ale is slightly shorter but much hotter. Go Ale!!!

well, supermodel and model are two different thing. Supermodel minimums height is 5'8 until kate moss broke the record for being the shortest supermodel, that was THEN in d Guiness world record, NOW came Devon aoki, shes regarded to be the shortest only 5'6. Can't believe giselle broke Elle's record after 20 years of Elle's success! I still love Elle!

"a tall girl" -- if you take an organismic biology or a biostat class, you'll learn abt something called "moving towards the mean". your daughters might not grow to 6'3" even if you and your husband are very tall people.

honestly ... i´ve never seen a real hot girl who was clearly over 5´9 in private life ... i mean believing statistics only about 5 percent of the female population is over 5´10 so it´s logical that the possiblity to find an attractive girl in that height range is lower than in a height range below that represents 95 percent of the female population
all those supermodel girls are exceptions when it comes to a good combination of height and looks
the taller the girl, the better figure and proportions she has to have ... a normal heihgt girl around 5´4 - 5´5 who´s thin looks petite, a 6 ft girl looks like a spider cause of her long thin arms and legs ... the other way if a tall girl is overweight she might have a broader back and a more massive body than most of the guys around ... who finds that attractive?
to "a tall girl": sorry, whether you are fake or you must be joking ... you can´t really think that it´s awesome that your daughters will be around 6´3 ... you can lie to yourself as much as you want but it´s a fact that your daughters will suffer massively from that height ... talking about clothes, shoes, men
when it comes to female height it´s the other way round to male height ... most of the guys won´t pay too much attention on a girls height as long as you are somehow around the average, no problem if you are half a head shorter than that ... it´s the same as most women don´t really pay too much attention on a guy´s height as long he isn´t clearly shorter (an head or something) than the average, where it´s no problem if he´s taller as much as a girl can be shorter than average
i´m talking about "normal" people and the vast majority of the population, not from contributors of this site who are obviously very height-concious ;)

To Ciara - girl, girl GIRL!! Don't let the opinions of others take place before your own. What Ray said is true of some men, but isn't necessarily the norm. Tall women are often described as "amazonian" or "exotic." But it's all in how you hold yourself - if you hate your height, you'll appear awkward. Love yourself and all "flaws" become attractive.

Hey Ciara, most guys I know like girls to be between 5'2" and 5'5". I personally am not into tall girls. Girls wanting to be tall is like guys wanting to be short. Girls should be short...that's what I think anyway. The perfect height for a girl is 5'3" or thereabouts.

I don't know if this is relevant, but a friend of mine who luckily got a picture with her (she's my same height), when she bent over to pick up a hair pin on a nearby stool, she was a 90 degree angle and she swore she met her height.

I'm only 5'0", and when I was at the Victoria's Secret show during the holidays, it almost seemed like her tall, really long, sexy legs were just about the size I am! I never got to get a picture with her, but after standing next to her that other time.......you know what I mean

Actually Karolina is more 181 cm or 180. If you see her in pics with other models like Caroline Trentini. Also Gisele is probably 178-179 while Karolina is 180-181.

she is 5"10. if you search on gettyimages and see all the latest pics of the victoria secret 06 show. she is ALWAYS i mean ALWAYS shorter than karolina kurkova and kurkova is definitely a legit 5"11. The photos show them in full length. and when they were on TRL they even did a height comparison between gisele n karolina. and karolina was taller. the host even said "umm i think karolina is a bit taller". they had same height stilettos on.

yer-coverting cm straight to feet doesnt work. you take the 5, so 5 ft and then convert the remainder into inches. Math is obviously not UR thing! FYI.... Duhhhhh. You still probably dont get it.
the heels realy do get u every time though, theres this pic of her on a shoot on a beach in rio ive been ther nd the rock she stands next to is just up to my forehead, im 511 - 6

Same all the other models. She is always wearing shoes that lift her up to 4 or 5 inches, so you just get overwhelmed by her. If you´ve ever stood beside a 6-2/3 woman you know what I mean. Another thing is that she looks good and has, of course, an excellent body, which is another point that overruns you as well. In my opinion she is 5-10, no more.

I've met a lot of tall women, and when I met her, she seemed to be 6'0.
Maybe it was because her towering height overwhelmed me.

Karolina is 5'11" and Gisele is 5'10", maybe she was mismeasured. She only looked 5'9.5" at like 15/16. I think she's 5'10" now. In pics with Karolina and Adriana she almost never looks taller than Adriana and more than half the time looks shorter but always looks shorter than Karolina. If she were really 179 she would look Karolina's height but she doesn't.

I saw Karolina kurkova couple days ago. She's definetly 180cm, not less. I'm tall, too (about 176) and was in flat shoe, she've been in sneakers... She seemed so much taller.

I used to post under 'Anonymous' but it seems like other people are using it too, so from now on, I'm CrazyPeople.
First of all, from what I know, Gisele was 178cm at 15. When she moved to New York, she was measured at 179 cm by her first agency. That's how tall I think she is. Not exactly 5'11... but just slightly under. I've been around Gisele more times than you know, because I work in the industry, and I've never went, "She's definitely not 5'11... 5'10.75 sounds more accurate to me." The difference is so minute, I don't see the point in people obsessing over one tiny cm. If you measure a person's height in feet, you're going to get a lot of rounding up and rounding down. Gisele is 179 cm, period. People here seem to think she's either 5'10 or 5'11, and it must be one or the other.
Take it from a person who knows. Never ever, ever judge a person's height by a photo. It doesn't mean anything. ESPECIALLY when people like Gisele have a very distinctive way of posing. Gisele has very narrow hips, so she constantly CONSTANTLY arches her back or juts her hips out to make herself look curvier. That's her trademark. Just look at any picture of her, and she's contorting her body one way or other. And Karolina is not a full inch taller than Gisele! That's complete rubbish! Karolina is taller, but not by an inch.
All the Victoria's Secret Girls are pretty much around the same height. Karolina is about 180cm, Gisele 179cm, Adriana 178cm, Alessandra is about 176 I think. She's definitely a lot taller in person tham in pictures.

well. i always thought that gisele was about 5"10 or 5"11, but then i read lauren weisbereger's book "the devil wears Prada". and there is one page where is told that "gisele bundchen was certainly short"... so now i don't know what should i believe? but in "the devil wears Prada" incluedes many weird things. like Narciso Rodriguez is written "Narcisco Rodriguez" in that book. and that's wrong cuz it's Narciso. and Alberta Ferretti is also written wrong in the book...it's "Alberto Ferretti" in it. so...i really have to say it's not very trustful source, but any way.

Oh and Ana Beatriz Barros is NOT 6'. I saw countless pics of her with Adriana Lima (5'10") and Oluchi (can't spell her last name, but she's 6'1") She was either Lima's height or an inch taller and was several incehs shorter than Oluchi. Ana is 181-182 cm. Her sister is 172 cm and I know people who know their family. Somebody mentioned that even though PAtricia is older, she's almost 10cm shorter.

Most girls stop growing at 16. If both your parents are short it seems that 5'6 is the most you can be. But don't worry! 5'6 is above average for girls. By the way, pilates and yoga does not actually make you taller, it just improves your posture but is excellent exercise.

No, I don't just "want to be right." I thought you might come back to me saying that just because I've read about modeling doesn't mean I know everything. And you're right. There could definitely be inside stuff I couldn't possibly know about. The part I disagreed with you about just seemed too far fetched to me in most situations. I have figured their are exceptions to everything though.
By the way, what kind of work was this girl getting when she was 5'4?

Oh, so you've 'read' a lot about modeling huh? You must be one of those people who think you know a lot about something because you've read bits and pieces of info here and there. Well, let me tell you it's one thing to READ about something and an entirely other thing to actually KNOW something. I KNOW. Even male models have their heights fudged. There are some 5'11 guys who are listed at 6'2, and some 6'4 guys listed way way shorter. There's even a girl right now who gets a lot of work who was 5'4 a few years ago... she's 5'8 now and only 17. So growth spurts aren't unusual, even for tall girls. There is some girl who shot up 2 inches in one season. You can only guess how tall she is. You probably disagree with me, but that's probably because you want to be right. And at some level, you are. But it doesn't exactly sound like you know anything about the business aside from the things you've read. Just take it from me... that's how the business works.
And please, save the moral judgements for elsewhere.

Anonymous, I still disagree. Perhaps you are partly correct when you say a more tall model will be slightly rounded down in the event she grows more. But a 5'11 15 year old who can make it in modeling is NOT likely to grow much more if at all. I doubt they give a 2 inch cushion for pete sakes! Many 15 year olds are done growing, particularly the tall ones, and the ones that look "old" enough to make a good model. They're pretty much done. I've read a lot about modeling and I've never heard of any of this EVER. The only thing I've heard is a 6'0 or more will get put at 5'11, since that is within the "ideal" 5'9-5'11. If a true 5'11 girl is young and will grow more, I believe she is listed as 5'11 and that height is kept despite any growth--because as I said, it is so rare to have a great deal of growth. Part of what you're saying makes some sense, but I still believe it's off.
And calling people a "dumb ass" on here doesn't make you look great. The "shutup" comment toward you was harsh, but "getting even with the other Anonymous (btw, why don't you people pick names)" was lame.

I think, that she looks like my girlfriend, perhaps a lil lower, cuz my is 181cm or 5ft. 11in. she is a model..When I saw Taxi wit Giesele I thought than wit heels she will tower me(if I`m in dress-shoes), cuz I`ma 6ft 1.5-2in but really it is not so. Conclusion: if you`re just 6-7cm taller than your GF don`t afraid if she suddenly ask you about her wearing heels.)))) Have a good luck!

I also forgot to add...
the agncy will round the height down because the girl is likely to grow a bit taller. If she grows too tall, that may scare a client away... and agencies don't really like changing the height stat on the model's comp cards season after season.

To Anonymous who commented on March 8. You're a dumb ass. Let's just say I can actually tell, on a regular basis, how tall a model rally is besides looking at them from pictures. And Kats - Yes that is how the industry works. There are tons of girls who are actually 5'11 but get rounded down. It may not make sense to you, but it does happen. Let's say a girl is 5'11 or taller. Now, 5'9 - 5'11 is the ideal model height, but if that 5'11 girl is 15 years old, the agency will make a decision to round her height down because she is probably likely to grow a couple more inches.

Just a few days ago on ABC's Good Morning America, she said that she is 5'11" tall.

To Anonymous not far below me: I don't think I agree with 5'11 models being downgraded to 5'10 because that's the way the industry works. In general, the industry does not have a problem with listing a model as 5'11 when they are probably very close to 5'11.
It's funny Star Magazine recently put Gisele at 5'9 when that magazine is known to give celebrities more height. And People Magazine saying the same thing is curious. I'll need to observe more (if I can even come up with anything) but for now I think she is 5'9 1/2--5'10.

Ok...just because you guys WANT everyone to believe that you are right about a model's height, doesn't make it TRUE. Yeah, right like any of you have been to a real fashion show...or met any of the models. No one buys that.

I met Leonardo and he seemed not even 6'. I think 178 is pretty accurate...karolina kurkova like I said before was listed at 179cm in some places...I swore I even saw 178 once...

I saw Karolina Kurkova at 179 I think thats more accurate...seeing as why would you round down a 5'11" girl...

duh why do u think she was massive semak is because ur short anyway and any girl who is 5"5 would think 5"10 or 5"11 or 6"0 tall girl is a giant. but anyway my point is gisele is fricken 5"10 god dammit her legs dnt look long enough to be 5"10. i jst look at her and i dnt see 5"11 match her physique. being 5"10 myself you would understand. i mean im sure theres some other girls on here who are 5"10 you could tell urselves what another 5"10 girl looks like. u may think wtf is she on about but im trying to explain myself. its complicated. and yes ana b is 5ft11 and 1/4 and definitely looks it. not 6ft

ana b barros is 5"11 & 1/4 . Gisele is about an inch shorter. I don't think it's quite here or there.
