As a tall woman, it can sometimes be difficult to feel comfortable in a group full of people smaller than you. You feel like you’re sticking out, and for all of the wrong reasons. Well, we at Amazona are here to tell you that you are actually sticking out for the RIGHT reasons! Stand up straight! Stop hunching your shoulders and slouching in an attempt to look shorter; you just look like you have very bad posture. I am a strong advocate of good posture, as I spent my youth slouching in order to fit in and had back problems because of it. I have compiled a list of TALL celebrities in the fashion and beauty world. Next time you feel the urge to slouch and blend into the crowd, just think of these fabulously FIERCE role models!
Measuring in at a respectable 5’10” are: Miss Tyra herself! Supermodel turned super TV mogul Tyra Banks has never been afraid to don her heels and show her height. The ANTM presenter encourages girls to be happy with themselves and it looks like she definitely takes her own advice! Another 5’10” girl is Dior perfume spokesmodel and actress, Charlize Theron. This golden-haired South African beauty is never one to shy away from the crowds!
Stretching up to 5’11” are: Legendary supermodels Jerry Hall and Rachel Hunter. It was their super-long legs that helped them find fame, not just their rockstar husbands! Jealous, us? New fashion icon and First Lady Michelle Obama also measures 5’11”, but that doesn’t stop her strutting around the world’s stage in a pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos!
And finally, at a mighty 6 feet tall, the one and only Elle Macpherson! She is as pretty as she is tall and the business and lingerie entrepreneur certainly knows how to impress!
I assure you that I could have listed almost every model in the industry, but these are just a few examples of the greats. A few more elevated ladies that caught my eye are:
5’10” - Lucy Lawless (Xena Warrior Princess!), Minnie Driver (actress), Princess Diana (national treasure), Zoe Ball (TV/Radio presenter), Joss Stone (singer), Kelis (RnB star).
5’11” – Brooke Shields (actress) , Nicole Kidman (actress) , Brooke Hogan (singer and HULK’s daughter), Amanda Lamb (TV presenter and ex-model), Uma Thurman (actress).
6’0 – Kimora Lee (fashion designer)
6’2” – Maria Sharapova (tennis star)
I gathered all of my information from http://www.celebheights.com and if you go to the website, you can see how you measure up against other celebrities!
