I had this dream ever since 89 about shrinking women. I had this one dream and is still with me is making madonna about 12 inches tall in a black leather dress like in her music video as she crawls to a bowl of milk and slowly reducing height as i meet her when she finished shrinking as i had her wrapped in the palm of my hand.
Anna says on 10/Jun/08
Parker - the trainer's head was down.
Lena says on 4/Jun/08
madonna looks like she`s got the same height as christina a-ra when she`s close to justin timberlake.And much smaller than sharon stone, i do think that she`s no ore than 1.58 cm, guys
Aimie says on 30/May/08
The average height for women in Britain is a bit more than 5'4''. Madonna is just slightly smaller than average. Both in the UK and the US.She always looks smaller than her dancers.
maha says on 28/May/08
so if madonna's 5'3.5'' and christina is like 5'0 or whatever you've listed, howcome at the MTV Awards Christina is not even an inch shorter? WEIRD

you have bad calculations!
brapp says on 11/May/08
ooops i meant madonna was shorter than gwynneth
Parker says on 7/May/08
Anna - 2" like taller? looks like at least 4 to me
Anna says on 6/May/08
I found a picture of Madonna next to her really short trainer who claims to be 5 foot even. Both are in running shoes and Madonna seems around 2" taller. Looks like Madonna is 5f2 Click Here
brapp says on 1/May/08
there was a picture in a magazine this week of her with gwynneth paltrow of them just leaving the gym. They were both wearing shox-type shoes. Madonna looks 7-8 inches taller than Gwynneth, so madonna must be around 5'2". She also may have shrunk like everyone does (however slight) after a certain age
sarah says on 10/Apr/08
madonna is 5'4 (162), she told it so many times and mostly all websites say it too :)
ed says on 28/Mar/08
how tall is her husband Guy Ritchie?
Hop Sing says on 20/Feb/08
Glenn is 5' 7" in the photo. He admits being 5' 7" or less pre 1994. This site doesn't bother to adjust the captions underneath the Glenn/Celebrity photos to this fact even Glenn said is true nor does it point out Glenn wears height enhancing boots (Natalie Portman candid in 3" added big boy boots) or hilarious 2-3 added shoes (Iron Maiden photo). You can't judge his height.
Tracey says on 10/Jan/08
Perhaps she has shrunken maybe she's wearing 3 inch high heels!
Oz says on 7/Dec/07
Now, if she were to wear the really high stiletto heels that the Mariah Carey's or Pam Anderson's of the world wear then she'd always look 5'8, even 5'9, because those biatches wear like 5'-5.5' heels, even 6' ones all the friggin' time!
Oz says on 12/Nov/07
She is not that tiny! She's about 5'3-5'3 and a quarter, making her about the same height as Britney, Christina is shorter at about 5'1-5'2 because at the MTV awards show Britney's heels are a bit higher than Madonna's, I think who was wearing maybe a 3-4in heel, making her about 5'7-5'8, Christina was shortest of the the 3..Ppl expect famous men and women to be 5'8 and taller, and that's not the case..However, Madonna's not tiny, a bit short is all!
Anonymous says on 18/Oct/07
def around the 5'3 mark. can't believe some mags state her as 5'4-5'5. it's bull. u can see she's short! she's even shorter than britney spears, who claims to be 5'4-ish!
Anon_V says on 21/Sep/07
Hmmm? Madonna is nearly 50, is it possible she has shrunk like the rest of us mere mortals? 5'3 is generous.
Latisha 'B.B.M. (Big Boobs Momma) Jackson says on 4/Sep/07
Madonna, I remember, used to be about 5ft 5 when she was 'workin' the clubs in NYC. Howeva, she would dance so frantically to her songs--when the DJs played her stuff; that over the years, she shrunk a couple of inches due to severe "dancefloor burn", as well as a hidden addiction to foreign, frozen microwaveable snacks. The material girl is so adorable though, that even if she was a little poodle barking obnoxiously loud; all the die-hard fans would applaud among tears and hysterical screams of desperation to be within feet of her madge-esty. Afterall, her new line of clothing 'M' was sold out in stores the first day, because of the frenzied hordes of madge-wannabe's, desperate to over-indulge on her new rags.
What makes her that much more interesting though, is that at 5'3.5" she's able to screetch such hurricane of emotions out of young girls, ageing drugged-out tranvestites, yuppies and right down freEaks alike; that few other people much more volumptuos than herself, would ever dream of achieving. She's a definite fighter-woman, that truly deserves her popularity and respect. You GO girl! you're frozen....when the snack's not open....
glenn says on 31/Aug/07
i wish.id be set for life.
BigT says on 2/Aug/07
my friend saw her at a video shoot in North London and said he was tiny maybe 5'2"
TJ says on 16/May/07
But at 5'3, Madonna isn't tiny or very small. She's about an inch below average. You would think the Canadian person was describing a person of 4'11 or 5'0.
Editor Rob says on 16/May/07
Canadian person in Malawi was saying in paper on meeting madonna:
" The stand-out for Williams was how tiny Madonna is in stature....'She's small, very small. I'm 5'3" and I was surprised she wasn't any taller.' "
pamela says on 19/Apr/07
To me she seems she is 5´3 or 5´3.5 When she stood next to Britney in the 2003 VMA´s she clearly was at least an inch shorter than Britney. If Britney is 5´4 I´m guessing that Madonna is 5´3 cuz she is clearly shorter than Britney.
Kathryn says on 14/Apr/07
yes, she is this height definately. but maybe she´s an half inch taller. because sometimes, when standing next to Britney Spears, she´s almost her height (5'4.5'') and so i would rather say, Madonna is 5'4'' or a half inch taller like she said in the interview with Carrie Fisher.
Melle says on 28/Feb/07
My sister is 5-5. She said she stood next to Madonna at a Malibu restaurant (mid 90's) and Madonna had come up to her at nose level, and my sister carries herself more like five-six.
ttujtyjgjgh says on 27/Feb/07
5'3!? Wow, talk about projecting larger... I would've guessed five foot eight! A woman of such accomplishment! Well, she's very proportionate. No stubby legs or anything.
Pete says on 20/Feb/07
leg extension? thats ridiculous!
glenn says on 19/Feb/07
since when?
Arthur Wrightus says on 18/Feb/07
Rumours abound that she has had a leg extension op.
Anonymous says on 29/Jan/07
pamela, the mother in that document says exactly, "she's so tiny and cute!" i'm assuming "tiny" is under 5'4, considering 5'4 is pretty average.
Glitter1 says on 15/Jan/07
ABOUT 5'3.5 SMALL. ADORABLE IN PERSON. GREAT BOD.
anonymous says on 30/Dec/06
she is right around the 5'3 mark-met her numerous times.
Derek says on 27/Dec/06
I heard he was her brother. Regardless, I'm sure he was nothing special because nobody has heard of him.
J. says on 26/Dec/06
I don't think Enrico Ciconne is her brother.
Glenn says on 25/Dec/06
Brad got the boot.disrespected me too much.people here want to take the easy way out and say I boot people due to disagreeing with me.not about that.
Derek says on 24/Dec/06
Brad- Funny thing is that her brother Enrico is 6'4", assuming NHL measurements are accurate.
Brad says on 2/Dec/06
She didn't wear heels early on. She wore dancer shoes with no heel. Everybody around her did and thus she always looked 3-4 inches shorter than other people her height. She didn't care about anything.This is girl who didn't get driver's license til she was 27.Her brother Christopher is really short. Donna is the same height as Ciccone.
Alex says on 2/Dec/06
I saw her leaving her hotel in Prague, Czech Republic last September (where she was on tour), from the very short distance, and I could say she is indeed around 5,4. She is tiny, but she's def not a midget! I also met and took a photo wit Donna de Lory, her long-time back up singer who is about the same height as Madonna, and I she is also about 5,4. So....

On the famous American Bandstand clip from '83, Madonna is the shortest person in the studio.
Scott says on 1/Dec/06
Madonna is approx 5'1 maybe 5'2 - but noticebly shorter than my wife 5'3.5
Met her whilst they were over on the island.
Brad says on 1/Dec/06
She's 5' 4". She isn't tiny. She does hire small dancers to look taller.
Sofia says on 27/Oct/06
..this summer Madonna went in Rome..i sow her she was very close to me..so i can say that she's as tall as me..i'm 1.54 cm..!i even sow britney spears..she's..very short!!i mean her hands..her legs..a bull-dog face..however they look like two artificial persons.

..yes, the "my children are 5 and 9....and I'm 5-9" comment she made on TRL definitely establishes her shortness. She's definitely no more than 5'4"...5'3.75 sounds pretty accurate to me...
Jean says on 19/Oct/06
She's 5ft1 because she's 5ft3 or max 5ft4 with high heeled shoes on. Britney is the same height as well and probably was wearing platforms when she was in the picture with Madonna.
Brad says on 17/Oct/06
Probably true. Her record company, when she owned it, was full of Ingrid's & Liz's. Some of her staff would make Liberace blush.
J. says on 11/Oct/06
I remember Casares. I think she was a little more than Madonna's shadow ...if you know what I mean.
Brad says on 11/Oct/06
The girl in the background is Ingrid Casares. Madonna's shadow for a number of years.
Kia says on 9/Oct/06
She is around 162 cm.. I know because I was standing next to her and we are the same hight.. :D
Lena says on 3/Oct/06
Oh, she is so cool,when she doesn`t have loose hair,she looks like a 15-year old girl and it`s noticable that she`s no more than 1.57 cm,but it`s very strange when madonna has flowing hair she looks taller,maybe because of big hands.But I also think that madonna has smth in her shoes,that adds her odd 2 cm
Doc says on 29/Sep/06
“Now lets get a closer look” I saw know danger, so I slowly move right hand toward her slowly, like a snake slithering for food. She was watching every move I make as she tries to avoid my hand. My hand starts opening up on the left side of her outstanding looking frame. I touch her lower backside of her physique body with my palm. She said in anger “What are you doing How Dare you touch me” as my Pinky wraps around her legs leaving her lower legs free. With my two middle fingers curling around her hips and waist, then my forefinger going under her arms leaving her hands free and my thumb circling under her breasts. The Warm and Sensual Madonna was now enclosed in the palm of my hand.
leonari says on 16/Sep/06
sina: you are right:not much! only 4 inches...
Glenn says on 7/Sep/06
It was taken as I walked outside a party with her.I didnt plan it.I was 18.she never poses.she can be amongst the worst.this night she was ok.
J. says on 6/Sep/06
Glenn, was it a fight to get this photo with her? What was she like?
Brad says on 5/Sep/06
Madonna uses a lot of bright flat lighting in her shows. A lot of older actresses used it decades ago to make themselves younger being washed out from all sides by the lit heavy stage. She doesn't need it. Like Sophia Loren, that Italian blood means nice skin. She knows how to use motion picture make-up to flare out the lines.
naya says on 18/Aug/06
what size does Madonna use in shoes????
Lena says on 18/Aug/06
I also saw a pic where madonna stands with stella mccartney,they both were in heels and had a visible difference in i`d say 6-7cm but i saw stella with scarlet johanson(who is 1.63 cm)and they had the same height,so when she says "five four and a half" it`s ridiculous she`s no more than 1.58 cm
Lena says on 18/Aug/06

I saw her on the concert and can say she is very tiny, it`s very cool that she in her years looks like a child
Lena says on 18/Aug/06
she is definitely no more than 1.57 because in comparison with gwyneth paltrow she looks like a chid,i`m 1.57 myself and my friend has the same height as paltrow and when we go together it looks the same as madonna with gwyneth
Brad says on 8/Aug/06
She's big time into heels. Her stage footwear pushes her 4"+.
L says on 31/Jul/06
I saw a pic where Madonna goes with Gwyneth Paltrow and I`ve a friend who is 1.75 and when she wears heels and I`m in flats we have the same difference as Madonna and Gwyneth but I think the difference between my and Madonna height in 2 inches so I think she`s probably between 1.58-1.59
Brad says on 31/Jul/06
I met her in 1982 and she's 5'4". I met her again in '00 and she was wearing at least 4" heels and was looking very tall by then, less beads & crosses and a deeper voice with the baby fat gone.
LLdiva says on 22/Jul/06
Madonna is 5'2" tops... maybe less. I was chatting with her in 1985 and she was wearing big shoes and she was very very short. I am 5' 5" and am very good appraising heights.
D. Ray Morton says on 14/Apr/06
I'm with Glenn - 5'3"- based on what I've seen in pictures (including this one).

I did spot her pretty up-close in '87, and do remember that she was very small, but that's it. I'd always thought she'd be a statuesque goddess, and here was this tiny young woman. The experience sticks out in mind my because I was way into "True Blue" and "Who's That Girl" at the time and was incredibly jazzed over actually seeing her in person. The last thing on my mind was height calculation. ;)

[Editor Rob: out of interest, what is it you do, in terms of work?]
Morgan says on 24/Mar/06
I agree she looks 5ft 3 to me especially in the pics with Britney who is about 5'5"! Madonna is clearly not a midget!!!!!
ice says on 23/Mar/06
I'll believe what Glenn estimated, 5'3
cindy says on 21/Mar/06
no Cady Madonna is not 5'3 or 5'3.5, she is 5'4, Next to britney she is a little shorter and britney is a little taller than 5'4 also madonna hair is slicked back white britney's is not.
mcfan says on 19/Mar/06
She only looks 5'3-5'3.5, not 5'4.
Cady says on 19/Mar/06
How can Madonna be 5'4.5" if you look at the photos with Britney who actually is that height you can see Madonna is at least an inch shorter
Ana Jewell says on 18/Mar/06
I believe in Madonna she looks tall, she is really Five four and a half!!
Cady says on 10/Mar/06
Madonna's heels on Ellen are about 3-4 inches I think she is 5'3" exactly anything under doesn't make sense but she is definately not 5'4.5"
heightfan says on 9/Mar/06
That was me who posted about the Ellen encounter and after seeing your link, I still see those heels as being at least 3 inchers.
Cliff says on 5/Mar/06
Having met Madonna nearly 20 years ago, I can say that my recollection of her was of being in the 5ft3 or 4 range. She was "small" but not by any means under 5ft3 barefoot imho. As others have pointed out, she does appear in photos to be taller than Shakira, Kylie, Geri Halliwell, and other women known to be no taller than 5ft1.
Anonymous says on 3/Mar/06
some of you people are on crack, some of you said she's 4'11 and 5'1, wow, if so, she is the tallest 4'11in person i have ever seen, she is much taller standing next to kylie minogue and shakira who is also 4'11 or 5feet.
We need a revamp of her height says on 2/Mar/06
She can't be over 5'1. She's probably 4'11.
lisa says on 2/Mar/06
madonna is definately 5'4, in her reinvention concert, hung up video and sorry video, she is always in 3 or 3 1/2in heels in her performances and comes up very close when standing next to daniel cloud campos(her freestlye dancer) who is 5'9in tall.
Serene says on 16/Feb/06
Good idea rose, we should as glen what is her actual or estimated height..
rose says on 12/Feb/06
Why don't we go with what glen says considering he has actually met her and there is proof! I think she is 5'3"
heightfan says on 10/Feb/06
She was on Ellen today, with 3 1/2 inch heels, and Ellen in sneaks, they were same height. I was suprised about this encounter, and now agree that Madonna is 5' 4".
Hmmm says on 8/Feb/06
Isn't she the same height as Prince, who's about 5'1? Or shorter? I don't even think she's 5'1. She's a shrimp, like Kylie Minogue, who's 4'11
Serene says on 5/Feb/06
ice..gotta agree with you.. my mum is getting smaller and smaller..

Madonna should be listed as 5'3"
ice says on 2/Feb/06
yeah, i think 5'3 too. maybe even 5'2.5
Serene says on 2/Feb/06
My mum is 5'3", but now she is really shrinking.. to 5'2".. when I was 12+ both of us are 159cm tall but now I am 160.5cm tall and she is about 157.5cm. I can't share her shoes and her shoes and believe me, her shoe size has also shrinked..from UK size 5 to 4.
Glenn says on 31/Jan/06
id say 5-3.in this shot she had heels.
CelebHeights Editor says on 29/Jan/06
Glenn, what did you make of madonna height when you saw her?
Lena says on 9/Jan/06
I heard that she is 1.54cm is it truth, so why does she says the opposite?
theheightguru says on 19/Dec/05
Good work Anonymous,
If Madonna was ANYWHERE NEAR 5'4, she wouldn't be so much shorter than Britney. From the looks of that pic, if Christina Aguilera was standing straighter, SHE'D be taller than Madonna. Time for a downgrade.
Morgan says on 18/Dec/05
she looks more than an inch shorter- that hat is giving her extra height!!!
jonny5 says on 16/Dec/05
raidio 1 dj said she was incredibly tiny some 1 who is 5ft4 is not incredibly tiny she is 5ft1 5ft2 at a push
gyllenhaalic823 says on 9/Dec/05
lol responding to height fan, on TRL I seriously thought to myself . . . "OMG madonna you are NOT five 9 you are shorter than 5'6" vanessa!" and then it hit me like when u blurt out something stupid "whoops she was just kidding . . ."
lol yeah she looks pretty tiny
Penny says on 5/Dec/05
Did anyone see I'm Going To Tell you a Secret last week (UK) and notice how teeny she was compared to everyone?! There was a bit where she was wearing trainers and didn't even come up to Guy Richie's shoulder now maybe he is 6'5" but I don't think that's likely!!!
Morgan says on 22/Nov/05
Didn't Golria Estifan (5"1.5) say she was the same height as Madonna?
Lindsay says on 19/Nov/05
In the UK magazine weekly Grazia it described Madonna as "the 5"3 singer" and they are usually correct with their information. Also in the pic on the Jlo listing with Britney and Kelly Rippa, Britney looks shorter than 5"5 and Madonna is a good bit shorter than Britney- this MUST mean Madonna is smaller than she says!
ii says on 16/Nov/05
Go to www.pinkisthenewblog.com and look at a pic of the guy sho runs the site with Madonna at the TRL (purple dress/huge sprkle shoes).
I emailed him and asked his height, 5'9". She is clearly 5'1", which he confirmed.
heightfan says on 29/Oct/05
I saw Madonna on MTV's TRL a couple of weeks ago and she looked very short even with very high heels. She seemed very uncomfortable standing next to the tall young hostess.(Vanessa Minnillo 5'9"). When asked the ages of her children she said 5 and 9, just like me, and looked up at Minnillo, trying to make light of the situation. Another funny thing was Madonna got to pick a winner in a dance contest and she picked a girl that couldn't have been 5'.

[Editor Rob: minnillo 5ft 9? I ain't sure about that, I peg her in the 171-2cm range...but Madonna's 5ft 4.5 claim...]
Liv says on 26/Oct/05
My aunt met Madonna in London last year and Madonna was wearing trainers and my aunt said she was incredibly tiny!! My aunt is 5"5 so I don't think Madonna can be 5"4 at all!
nikki says on 30/Sep/05
madonna is 5"4.5, she is five feet and 4 inches in a half, she is almost 5'5, believe it or not.
mcfan says on 3/Sep/05
She looks at the most 5'3.
CelebHeights Editor says on 23/Aug/05
From gossip newsgroup: "The one that shocked me was Madonna, I met her in 1993, and oh my God is that women tiny, no tini tiny. Shes only about 5'-2""
CelebHeights Editor says on 22/Aug/05
In a 1984 Star Hits interview, "I always wanted to be taller. I feel like a shrimp, but that's the way it goes. I'm 5'4" - that's actually average. Everything about me is average.
J. says on 2/May/05
The chart that the previous poster posted was very revealing. Hmm ... I can believe that Madonna is 5'1". Her husband who is listed as 5'11" has some significant height on her, even when she has heels on. A 1992 interview in Vanity Fair by Maureen Orth described her as being "barely over five feet" so maybe ...
absent says on 1/Mar/05
Here in Europe in magazines there is always stated that Madonna is 155 cm or 157 cm; but maybe it`s a problem with translation. And the articles always refer to how short she is. But with those pictures Madonna/Britney and Christina kissing, u could easily compare. But the again those were teens when they started an the heights on the net are probably not true anmore due growth spurts?
