Mariah Carey's Height
5ft 7 (170.2 cm)
American singer known for songs such as "Always be My Baby", "We Belong Together", "One Sweet Day", "Fantasy" and "Dreamlover". She once said , "Everybody who meets me says that I'm much taller in person...They think I'm short, for some reason." On another occasion she said '5ft 8.5'.

I am five foot and nine inches tall. You'll have to translate that. Of course I'm taller when I'm wearing shoes. People always think I'm tiny until they meet me for the first time. They'll be like "Huh. You're tall!"
-- SZ Magazine, 2006
I'm a 34C - I always have been. My weight does go up and down. People expect me to be a little thing but I'm 5ft 9in with muscular legs.

Mariah Carey is 5'6.5/5'7 max. She is an inch shorter than 5'8.5 Whitney Houston whose wearing heels but Mariah's heels look to be about an inch bigger.

I've seen her at Clipper games, she always wears huge heals. I am just guessing but between five seven & five eight; I'm almost 5'8", and she was about my height. Honestly, I couldn't be sure, she would go up the stairs past my seat, several times (with her entourage & detail), I was seated & she had those big heals on (like 5-6"-I'm not kidding). She's cute and always smiling & waving. She didn't give a 5'9" vibe off to me but I can't be sure. I'm guessing 5'7.5".
Thank you, Rob, again for your site. Been a fan for many years. Love & hugs.

She looks very tiny next to Busta Rhymes 6'1 even with huge high heels. She get probably a little bit shorter with the age. She must be like 5'6 or even 5'5 at this moment.

I met her backstage last year. I'm about 5'9", and when I stood next to her, we were pretty close in height, though she actually stood slightly taller than me. Now, looking back, I'm very sure she was wearing heels, but she was posing with a knee bent, thus those two worked against each other. So, I admit I'm a biased lamb, but I'd believe 5'9" for her.

Mariah is 5 foot 9 inches without shoes. I met her and if you read articles about her most of them will state her real height at 5 foot 9 inches. Recent people have given false information. She was born in 1970 not 1969. Refer to her mother's interview on Oprah.
I have picture of her standing next to me. I am five foot five.

Not more than an inch taller than Beyonce and yet every source says her height is 5'9". Heck, even she claims that height, which is ridiculous that she is claiming to be 2 inches taller than she is when 5'7" is already tall for a woman. If she was really 5'9", Beyonce would be 5'8", which she defintely isn't. Mariah Carey is one of the worst liars when it comes to exaggerating her height. She is super insecure about her height obviously. I mean why else would she claim such a height out of the realm of possibility or comprehension? She is 5'7", not less, not more.

She looks about 5'6" to me and constantly wears massive heels so that she can claim 5'9". I am 5'10" and if I wore the heels she does, then I would be taller than 99% of men, and she is often not as tall as the men she employs to keep her from falling over. She is 5'6" barefoot and 5'9" in heels with a platform. She is not even 5'7".

Rare for a woman to inflate her height so much. The most I could give her is 5'6.5". Looked near 2" shorter than 5'8" Rihanna with both in big heels, looked similar to 5'6" Beyonce, about 2" shorter than 5'9" Taylor Swift with at least 1" footwear advantage, definitely shorter than 5-7ish Whitney Houston and if she were anywhere near 5'8.5"-5'9" then she'd be undoubtedly be pushing 6'1" with a lot of the heels she wears, yet anyone who has seen her with 5'10.5" Nick Cannon knows she's lucky to hit 5'11" in them. One of the worst height claims mentioned on this site.

I've look through out the music video a few times that Luther look a full 13cm taller than Mariah. If Luther is 191cm with that leather shoes no way Mariah is anything above 5'10 with that heels and she could be 5'6.5 like you say but that heels is not under 9cm maybe not a full 4' heels but between 9-9.5cm height boost. MC is more like 5'6.25 and max 5'6.5

Towards the end of this video she walks with 177cm Queen Latifah to the podium. Mariah's in high heels and Queen Latifah looks to be wearing something akin to cowboy boots, yet Mariah is still about an inch shorter. It's unlikely that she's below 168 cm, but 170 cm might be pushing it.

This isn't true she got to be 5'7 or 5'8 max because she is like 5'11 in big heels and never taller than Nick Cannon whose 181 cms.

@Fan did you find if the ground she's standing on is the same level as yours? If she's 5'2" then Gloria Estefan must be 4'6" because at the divas live in '98 Mariah looked massive beside her

I saw her at a concert in Germany some years ago. the place was half empty and she walked off the stage and i walked right past me on her meet and greet through the audience. I was wearing sneakers and she was wearing high heels. Still she was about four inches shorter than me and I am 5'7". She is 5'2" max. Can't believe how people can think she is 5'9" or even taller!!

Whitney Houston had always towered over MC (Houston usually wore sensible heels whereas MC always wears those sky-rocket platform heels which look more like stilts rather than shoes). Coroners stated Houston's height as 5ft6. But for argument's sake (or beggar's belief-whatever works..), let's simply say that Houston was 5ft9. Even if she were 5ft11, the height difference between these two women remains considerably noticeable. That said, MC is 5ft7 only in her velvet dreams and, arguably, when trying to walk on those 'stilts' of hers.

Also, to another user on this particular page--doing height compares between Mariah and I THINK Cameron Diaz maybe--I'm amazed at photography tricks that are used for more even pics--for instance just standing at an angle (photographer can greatly alter one's height--should the camera be closer to one person vs. another. Another cute thing to look up is a picture of Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu on some red carpet event. Cameron was completely barefoot for almost all of the photos--but of course--that is not shown lol, in the photos they use for the magazines, or footage for TV show promos! Lastly--Halle Berry is SHORT--Hugh Jackman--I've read is over 6' tall. During perhaps some movie or MTV event or something back in the late 90's or early 2000's, a photo shows them quite similar in height. I can't recall where I learned this--but they get stars to stand on boxes to make everyone similar in height...and perhaps to keep up their many err. height enhancement claims lol! I thought that was cute, but I think wedding photographers employ similar tactics, as when you have a very short bride and a rather tall groom. I once did a Google search on this, as Ihave a bit of a crush on a rather tall fellow and I'm FAR shorter than he...and being a silly girl, I'd pondered this...though I've yet to go out on a single date with the gent! Happy belated New Year to all!

Mariah has never been taller than Whitney. Whitney before her death I would say she was a solid 5ft8. Talking about heels actually the shorter the heel the more height it gives in relation to heel height. So when Mariah and Whitney performed on Oprah, Mariah was wearing 4inch style heels that may give 3 inches of actual height and Whitney was wearing 3inch style heels that may give like 2.2-2.5 inches. So that little footwear difference plus Whitney is really taller than Mariah, Mariah would definitely look shorter or same height at most. I do believe she's a solid 5ft7, it's just that she wears sky high heels that makes her seem like she 5f8 or 5ft9

She is at least 1.5 in shorter than Whitney Houston who claimed 5'7.5-8. So she may be 5'6(at most 5'6.5). When standing far apart, they look quite similar but when standing very close, you can see WH is clearly taller than MC.

that height is incorrect in her hey day Mariah was 5 ft 9 in and 125 lbs she's since lost about an Inch with age so she'd be 5 ft 8 in now and she's usually wearing at least 5" stilettos not that she needs the extra height. I should know I met her backstage at a concert in Boston nearly 13 years ago September 8th 2003 during the Charm bracelet tour

You can google 'Mariah Carey in Nigeria' and you would find an unretorched picture of her at the airport. Also, there's a recent photo of her with Beyonce at the Heartview heart foundation dinner that was posted on Beyonce's Instagram, and Beyonce towered over her. I think it's more reliable to look for unretouched pictures of her as she always appears taller in edited PR pictures, I'm thinking she chooses to exaggerate her height as well as reducing her weight in professional photos.

@Janet you should look the last pic with Westlife. With her advantage of typical heels as always, that pic and videos with the group makes her no more that 168-169 cm. Rob should downgrade her. If she was tall she wouldn' t mask her height with platforms all the time. He is average-tall, 168 is very good for a woman. I would bet first for Bieber 172 that for Mariah 172 cm!!!

(I think there was a problem with my first post here?...) I think Mariah is 5'8", rather than any shorter. A very recent pic shows her and Katy Perry together, and assuming they have the same kind of heels Mariah looks just that 1 inch taller (Katy's 5'7") , similar to pics with Rihanna and katy together. I don't believe pics actually ever tell us how tall anybody is, but Mariah is probably over 5'7", she seems closer to 5'8" to me.

I guess Mariah Carey is pretty tall at 5'8" but looks shorter cos of her big lower body. She has huge hips and thighs and is very curvaceous which doesnt show her real height. I would put Mariah at 5'8" & about 175 lbs, a very well built woman.

Thanks Jersey. From first pic Whitney is clearly 2 inches taller although we can't see the heels. From second pic with Whitney, Mimi's platforms are an inch taller than Whitney's heels, but Whitney is still an inch taller than Mariah. So Whitney is two inches taller than Mariah on bare feet. Whitney is 5'6 from her autopsy report. That means Mariah is 5'4.

I don't know why some people are saying that she is 5'3 or 5'4 I don't think she looks that tall. She could past to be 5'8 at the highest I think 5'7 is a believable height. I don't imagine Mariah Carey being my height or any shorter than that because I am 5'4. People always assume these female celebrities being short.

Common sense says she's about 5.6 to about 5.7. She's about the same height standing next to 5.6 Whitney and 5.6 Beyonce. 5.10 Rihanna towers over them. All four tower over 5.3 Carrie.

@joewhite31,honestly I do not quite believe in pictures, especially the ones that do not show whole body. See some pictures of her with Usher (5'8'') her height compared to him is different in all three, depending on the shoes they were wearing.

However, in the video with Usher she was definitely shorter even on her heels. see 0:30.

Using the maths that some people posted in here, I believe she is much lower than 5'7''. All the videos in this thread give an estimate lower than 5'7''. This does not convince you enough?

@Just: If you say she is 5'7 barefoot and 5'9 in heels, then her platforms are only 2 inches? In my opinion if she looks like 5'9-5'10 in heels, this means she is around 5'3 barefoot.
@lamb: what if Whitney's height is lower than 5'7? The autopsy report says that she is 5'6.

Then Mariah's height should be lower than 5'6. Not to mention the fact that the shoes Mariah wears are always visibly quite high compared to those worn by other female artists.

Actually there is no such thing like 20cm heels(there are but not common). The heels she wears mostly between 10-16cm. Notice that, 15-16 cm heels doesn't make you 15-16cm taller than you're barefoot.They add about 11-13cm (changes to material of heels). Plus as I see, men shoes add about 2-3cm . For Mariah, I don't know why but I always think she's 5'5". So she can easily reach 176-78 in heels. In a world JLO said she's 5'6" , I can understand why Mariah said 5'7".

I met Mariah Carey and spoke with her in the Gold Coast, Australia this past new years. I am 1.75m tall and she was definitely about 10cm taller than me with heels on, so I would say she was about my height without. She's quite tall, also I know this is off topic but she has some amazing, big, dark bambi eyes.

She claims 175cm but even if she's only 170cm, plus those sky-high platform shoes she could potentially reach 190cm, equal to a 187cm guy (6'2) walking on 3cm shoes. That's utterly impossible. I think in bare foot she could be roughly the same height as Madonna (5'3) or shorter.

Funny you guys keep commenting about her weight instead of height. Some people put on/off weights fairly easily and she is no excpetion. Mariah did look slim and fat for different times but given that her height is 5'5 or lower it is impossible to reach 160 pounds - unless you blow yourself like a balloon.

Don't really know where this 5'9 stuff come from. I am an older guy who saw her rise to stardom in the early 1990s. At that time a newspaper even had a quiz about her height - 155, 165, or 175cm. And the correct answer was 155cm. which may seem a bit unreal, but 5'7 is still too good. She should be around 5'3-5'6, especially based on all the vids and pics people posted here.

Look at this picture of her and Whitney. She was wearing towering platform heels as always, Whitney's shoes is about 6 cm max.And they are about the same height (compare their eyes). So I guess she was shorter than Whitney for 5 or 6 cm. So if she is 175 cm, Whitney must be 181 cm (which is absolutely nonsense) so 167 to 168 cm is accurate for Mariah Carey.

@joewhite your video is interesting. On this video, it is possible that she was wearing approximately 15 cm of shoes, see @ 1:54 - 3:29 - 3:42. For those who disagree, plz notice that her shoes were tall in both the heels and the toes area -this make the shoes look slightly shorter than their real length.
Ryan looks both smaller and shorter than many contestants, but assuming he is 171 cm like this page claims. The problem is that we cannot see his shoes in the video, so let me venture a guess of 4-6 cm. Therefore the height difference in the shoes alone should be 9-11 cm.
Depending on the various moments in the video, on average, Mariah appears to be 4-5 cm taller than Ryan (@joewhite I think we should not 'cherrypick' and choose Mariah's tallest moment - to be fair for Ryan it should be (tallest+shortest)/2, since we really cannot see their whole body, posture and shoes at a straight angle).
If Ryan is 171 cm, Mariah would be 175-176cm when both are wearing same shoes. If we consider a 9-11 cm difference in shoes, her true height would be 176-9,11 = 165-167 cm (5'5-5'6).
Finally, one pic or even one video alone is never sufficient to justify a person's height. See other videos and analyses here to deduce the best estimate.

Even if she wears sky-high heels there's no way she can reach 5'11" mark easily with that 5'4" height. You have to be at least 5'7" or 5'8" barefoot to reach that mark. Click Here 5:05 Ryan is standing straight but is still shorter, 5:23 (this slight height difference is now exposed), and lastly 5:30 (where she bends down). I saw at least 3 inch height difference. This woman can't be shorter than 5'7" and taller than 5'9".

If depend on pics, I 'd stick to pics of Mariah & three idol judges, cause they re ofifially from Americanidol & reposted in many popular wpages, the chances they re photoshopped to favour any judge is lower than some pics from public/unknown sources.
in any event u need not be tensed. this discussion is fun, just that everybody has their opinion. whats more height doesnt matter that much for a singer.

Mariah 160cm + 14-20cm heels = 174-180cm (5'8.5-5'10)
Ryan, Keith 171-174cm + 3-6cm shoes = 174-180cm (5'8.5-5'10)
I wouldnt be surprised if those three would look same same on American idol, with some slight height difference.It is worth noting Keith seldom wears 6cm shoes.

Incorrect, if Keith is 5'8.5" barefoot, he is 5'9.5"- 5'9.75" (almost touching 5'10" mark) in shoes. Clearly, Carey is slightly taller than Keith Urban in her platform shoes, so how can a 5'3" woman reach that height? Next to 5'3" Carrie Underwood: Click Here

@Heyto not to mention Rosie O'donnell is a Lgbt citizen & often wears men shoes, which is way shorter than platforms stilettos. Yet for this video Mariah, in her usual stilettos, wasn't much taller. I began to doubt whether Mimi can even reach 5'5''

Mariah is like 5'3-5'4, don't know where this 5'9 stuff is coming from. Watch this performance with Rosie O'Donnell, Rosie is 5'6-5'7, and watch the end of the video when they are standing side by side. no way this woman is 5'9, if that were truly the case she would tower over everyone, and she rarely does even when she is wearing platform stilettos.

adina u got it right but not enough. Long legs, long neck, slim body, and small head compared to chunk make a person look taller. All these are signs of real good height anyway. Mariah doesn't seem to have any of these features, except her legs look a bit better because of those heels.

@catk celebrities may look taller than average, but the fact maybe is different. Look at pictures of Jodie Foster 1m60 Madonna 1m61, Britney 1m62, Shakira 1m57, Hillary duff 1m57 I can't help questioning 'are they really this short?' Mariah carey doesn't look taller than those ladies.

i remember in the nineties she said she was 5'8. i think she is somewhere between 5'7 -5'8. either way, she always looks taller than average and is a good height.

Gosh even if Mariah was only 1m70, plus 10cm more of heels and stilettos she would be 1m80 or more, which means she must tower over most of the showbiz guys. But her cumulative photo records effectively failed to do that! 160cm, more like.

Mariah Carey’s height attracts much attention, perhaps not only because she is famous, but also because of the way she exaggerates her true height.
No offence, really, but saying you’ve met your celebrity to know about their height a bit unfair and thoughtless. I think it means NOTHING in this forum. So in what ways can we really argue? Let’s apply to the case of Mariah here.
Pictures of Mariah standing next to another celebrity with well-known height are not a reliable way to estimate, since pictures nowadays can be easily edited through photoshop. This is very important, since short celebs are usually more sensitive about heights, and having photos edited before posting them to forums and fan pages is quite possible. In the past, ‘pictures don’t lie’ but now they do.
Using videos is much more reliable. But can we use all sorts of videos? I would not use Mariah’s music videos, even the duets, since most of her recent videos are normally shot upwards from lower angles, such as ‘Triumphant’; or the video frames are slightly stretched vertically, such as ’I Stay In Love’, or both upwards and stretched, such as Can’t Take That Away. Both effects really make her taller, and slimmer.
It is best to use news videos from independent media, shooting directly from head to toe (so we can see the heels), with Mariah being next to another celebrity whose height is well-known. If Mariah was standing with a male celebrity, we must subtract the difference in shoes from the estimate, since 12-15 cm of heels over 4-5 cm of a male shoe would give an advantage of 8-10 cm, or 3-4 inches. And Mariah have been known to live in sky-high heels, possibly higher than even other female counterparts.

Well.. To be honest.. She is a little taller than 5'7. When I saw her in concert a couple of years ago she was 172-173cm. And then her huge 4 inch heels..
I would have her at 5'7.5 - 5'7.75 (172-173cm)

Arch Stanton, your picture looks pretty distorted. Why not trying a VIDEO which is more reliable?
Click Here
pause at 0:23. Mariah was at least 10cm shorter than her 1m80 husband - nick cannon. Therefore if they were wearing same shoes she must be 1m70. But her heels are way higher than his shoes. My estimate is that she is somewhere 1m60-1m68. Remember, even her husband height is disputed in this page when people showed pictures of he and Mario Lopez standing next to each other.
Or you can see the video that nhatminh84 has posted here, in which she coached David Archuletta (1m60), pause video @ 0:04 and read analyses that followed, I think it's pretty clear here.

@ThatBreezyChick I have met her. She cannot be taller than 5'7". Probably 5'6" or shorter. Why would Mariah have to lie about her height though? Because that woman is Obsessed With Height. You should have read older posts in this thread.

To be honest I have met Mariah Carey back in february of 2012 and She is very tall. I'm only 5'3 and she towered over me... Without the heels she wouldve still been way taller than I am. In the heels she must have been about 6'1 or 6'2 so therefore take away six inches and that would be 5'9.... Basically she is an extremely tall woman. Btw look at how long her legs are... Just saying...

She gets most of her height from wearing high stilettos or platform shoes. If lying about your height is a sort of crime, this woman could have been given a warrant of arrest.

Nathan, Mariah almost never appear public without her high heels especially with other celebrities, except in her bedrooms maybe. Seriously, who are you to 'have met her several times in flats and stilettos'? Her mom? No offense, but that sounds too good to be true.

I should have not said this, but I have attended one of her live performances and I truly think she can never surpass 5'7. No offence to you Nathan, but a person saying this may be well perceived as one of her millions of fans, friends or one of her powerful team of publicists. I NEVER say that you lied, but it is not the best way to prove your point.

At Nathan, You can meet her as many times as you want but only fools will think this woman is 5'8.5" min. I've seen her standing next to other 5'8" celebrities and I can easily tell who's the shorter one, from Mariah to Whitney H. to Faith H. to Rihanna, all these women look slightly taller than her. That's one thing they all have in common.
