Madonna Height
Madonna height: 5 ft 3.5 in (161 cm)

Madonna, famous Singer and Actress. In an interview with Carrie Fisher she says she is "Five four and a half", but said in 1984 star hits magazine: "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.

One of my previous posts was accidentally deleted. Madonna with Lady GaGa on SNL was great for judging, Madonna looked 5'3" next to 5'1" GaGa, huge heels on both.
Anon_V says on 17/Feb/10
She's over 50 now (Grandmother age! Wow!) so she's probably shrunk, yoga only goes so far. A woman who was truly 5'4 would probably not refer to themselves as a shrimp. She is short. And an arrogant liar.
Brad says on 8/Feb/10
She spikes vitamins (not cool) a lot these days and does massive exercise routines before tours. She has a decent body most of the time. She lets it go at times like after her '85 tour, she wore that oufit at Live Aid for a reason. She's 5 feet 3. She's a small woman up close, her body parts seem larger but they are not. Donna is about the same height, so is Niki. Niki & Christopher Ciccone are out of her life for good reason.
Littlesue says on 8/Feb/10
I would never put Madonna as 'very small busted', in fact I wonder sometimes if she has had implants because she has such low body fat you think her bust would be smaller than it is. You can't help what hip/waist ratio you inherit, whether you are 8 stone or 18 you will have around the same hip/waist ratio
Kelly Brook Fan says on 7/Feb/10
"She wasn't thin in the summer of '82, trust me" Brad, that was twenty eight years ago and it was only for about a year that she had a decent body. She's always been contorting herself through exercise addiction to really thin, very short, very small busted and has no hip to waist ratio. She has the exact opposite of a tall or even medium tall hourglass figure. she has a short thin masculine, curveless body with no hips.
Joshua says on 6/Feb/10
Madonna has to be about 5'4". In no way can she possibly be 5'3" or 5'2". If
that were the case what would that make Donna Delory and Niki Haris, who
certainly appear shorter than Madonna? Donna easily looks the shortest. My
question might be who's taller between Madonna and Niki. My guess might be
Madonna slightly but would like some opinions on this. If Madonna is 5'3",
I can't picture Niki to be shorter than that. That's why I suggest Madonna
at least 5'4" unless Niki is actually taller than I expect. Anybody Know?
Christina Barrett says on 29/Jan/10
It seems like 5'4 1|2". Adults always say 1|2" shorter. Click Here
RealityCheck says on 14/Jan/10
The woman is kind getting up there, with all due respect she's probably shrunk a little since the 80s
Anonymous says on 12/Jan/10
Yes indeed her height is at the 5'2 to 5'3 range... she's no taller! Petite, a bit short, but not the 5'4 thats been circulated from the 80's til now. Add on 4-5 inch heels on and she's 5'6-5'7 plus.. at the recent (Nine premiere)for example she was wearing 5-6 in heels with a 2in platform in front, so she was looking quite tall. At least 5'8 almost! The front 2in platform doesn't really count bottom-line, only actual back heel.
Diana says on 21/Dec/09
I met her in London in 2005 (and as you've probably guessed, she is a stuck up you-know-what), and I would say that she is 5'3" because I'm 5'5" and she was definitely a few inches shorter than me.
Anonymous says on 11/Dec/09
thandie newton is listed as 5'3 but in this picture she looks a lot taller than madonna. they are both wearing heels.

Brad says on 18/Oct/09
Go with the 5' 3".
Heightgirl says on 4/Oct/09
Madonna was on SNL with 5f1 Lady GaGa last night and they were the same height BUT Lady GaGa had 1.5" platforms on giving her an extra inch or inch in a half in height. Madonna's heels were really high too, I didn't notice a platform, but maybe there was a hidden one? Madonna looks no more than 5f2 or 5f2.5 at the most. If she really was 5f4 then she should have been at least 1.5" taller than Lady GaGa with their footwear on.

Cris says on 12/Sep/09
Yes Gilipollas!Your calculation is right! I saw her in Rome at the Evita's premičre.Madonna, alive, in person is taller than tv or photos. She' s not tall but not small: she's middle, between 5.5 - 5.6. In fact same Eva Peron' s heiht! In the Portofino' s photos Madonna is barefoot while Jesus is in slippers. She is not too much shorter than him, a model above 5.10. He is almost like one of the stylists Dolce&Gabbana, a tall man! It's not easy to be exact 'cause is important to watch the prospective of the photos! She often choise to be behind of the photo's partner! So she looks more short! She' s very smart to manipulate her height too because competition is cruel! Probably she likes surprise when we can see her by only few steps.
MD says on 8/Sep/09
Brad, English, please.
Brad says on 7/Sep/09
Jesus just ate her up by over a foot with the Israeli PM. How tall is he!!!??? I might have to go 5' 3" if that photo is real deal no lifts. Amazing!
S. Fu says on 31/Aug/09
I stood right behind Madonna in line for a play in WeHo back during her Vogue days. Close enough that a woman facing her (who I later recognized as Ingrid Casares) kept glancing over her shoulder at me to see if I was going to twig as to who she was. I'm a little under 5'10" and probably had on tennis shoes that day, and I was definitely looking down at the top of her head. If she was 5'4" then, she would have had to be in bare feet.

I would estimate that she was 5'2".
gilipollas says on 29/Aug/09
Does anyone know how tall is madonna's boyfriend male model Jesus Luz? As a male model he should make Madonna look real tiny but he doesnt. Strange. Now I think Madonna can be taller of what I always thought.
MarcusTheSwede says on 31/Jul/09
I agree with Jacky.If only more women and girls would be as healthy thinking like her.
jacky says on 29/Jul/09
i don't understand what is the issue about height!?specially in America?the culture is so obsessed with this height issue?now how many times you see a gorges men or woman that are not that tall but very attractive and likable and so many tall that you don't want to look at?if you are talking about lean proportioned body is one thing but just being tall i don't buy it frankly as sports model body lean and proportioned is more important than just a height?petite cat is more gorges than tall monkey!its all about state of mind!!
i can go on get over it.....the problem is not short or tall if something is nice(is nice)short or tall??its all in mind!!!
MarcusTheSwede says on 20/Jul/09
I know this is not about Madonna.But her Boyfriend Jesus Luz is listed everywhere but here as 6ft1 ???No way he can be that tall.I saw picture yesterday where Madonna hade sneakers on and Jesus also sneakers same rubber sole and he wasnt more then max 5-6 cm at best taller then her.He is not 6.1 No way
Brad says on 24/Jun/09
Anything under 5' 3.5" is ridiculous. She wasn't thin in the summer of '82, trust me. She puts on 15 pounds after tours. Check her out at Live Aid '85, she wore a coat for a reason, she plumped out. Nowadays she just spikes vitamins and eats fruit & salad all day.
Anonymous says on 30/May/09
Who oh why are we debating Madonna's height.. I saw her at Roseland at her "free show" last Apr 30 here in NYC.. Answer: she has to sport 5- 6in heeled shoes in order to look somewhat elegantly tallish. There's always an inch or two added to ppl. She's thin, even skinny she looks petite, short. She doesn't always wear high-heels, but yes, she's not tall and not that small in height, just petite. She's 5'1- 5'2 without heels, no taller. Its true!
Brad says on 16/May/09
She employed the father of her first child as a trainer. She doesn't care about trainer height. Yes she hates her height. Stevie Nicks has a wicked hate of her height.
Tall Girl says on 11/May/09
"Definitely has a complex. Why else would she employ a 5'0" trainer??" EXACTLY! I've seen her in trainers running-she is 5'3 and that's being generous. she is the complete opposite of an Amazon like Uma or Peta Todd.
Brad says on 6/May/09
Weak 5' 4" 27 years ago at the Park Chase Chase Park Club (whatever that dump was called) right next to me and still the same from 2 feet away last november. She is very very short looking to the people who finally see her from up close. She's in 4" plus footwear most of the time outside of workouts.
MichaelChisholm says on 29/Apr/09
Madonna is taller than Kelly Clarkson, who is 5 ft 3.5. So she can be 5 ft 5
Anonymous says on 27/Apr/09
5ft 2.5" is more than generous for her, I say.

She always wears the highest shoes, and still is always the shortest. It is not really debatable. She is pretty puny.
Heightgirl says on 24/Apr/09
She looks 5f2 max and in the 80s she was quoted as being that too. In the picture with her 5f nothing trainer, her head was up while her trainer's head was down. Even still she didn't tower over her. She's 5f4 with 3" shoes on! Seems like the trend in celebland lol
Doug says on 6/Apr/09
Definately has a complex. Why else would she employ a 5'0" trainer??
Doug says on 6/Apr/09
She looks 5'4"ish to me, I've never looked at her and thought wow shes short. I know they had a hatred of her height though and the short complex and she always wears enormous heels.
5 ft 3.5 says on 6/Mar/09
Just to clarify, 5 ft 3.5 isn't 161 cm, it is 161.5 cm.
Anonymous says on 18/Jan/09
Madonna is very short.She is no more than 5.2
Olivia says on 15/Jan/09
Britney is 5 ft 4 and she's almost an inch more so 5 ft 3.5 or 5 ft 3.75 at maximum must be the good height for her.
Brad says on 2/Dec/08
2.5" to 3" off at 5' 1". She is very small compared to what you'd expect. She's gonna need the big heels when she marries A-Rod which is coming soon.
claudia says on 30/Nov/08
Madonna is 5' 1", I know for sure because I've seen her in Milano, she's so tiny. Incredible but true!
Brad says on 17/Nov/08
Nah, I was right to her this week and in 1982 in NYC, she's not 5' 2". She DOES have a complex about her height. She wears monster footwear, even sneakers with big obvious lifts.
Anon_V says on 14/Nov/08
Hmmm? I don't know... she seems to have a complex about her height. Always jacking herself up in 6 inch pistol-heeled platforms... And even in humongous footwear she is still the same height as Britney Spears who's wearing smaller heels or flats. I'm thinking the 5'2ish observations look a little better all the time.
Brad says on 12/Nov/08
Still 5' 4" today when I saw her from 2 feet away walking by onstage 23 times. She's still a stone fox. Ciccone rocks. A weak 5' 4" is okay. I wouldn't fight 5' 3.5". She has great dancer posture.
Brad says on 5/Nov/08
Madonna isn't 5' 2", she's 5' 4".
Wil says on 25/Oct/08
Madonna is between 5"2" and 5"3." I know this as I was having dinner at a restaurant in Hollywood with some friends and she was there. One of the women I was with passed Madonna in the hallway. When they passed, I noticed they were almost exactly the same size, which surprised me. My friend is 5'2."
Olivia says on 5/Oct/08
I'm tempted to say 5 ft 3.75 or 4. I think her REAL height is something between these 2 measures.
Amylicious says on 5/Oct/08
i don't think Madonna is 5'3" because when she and Justin make a vedio she looks taller than 5'3"
Anonymous says on 23/Sep/08
at one time i was going to the same doctor as madonna. he told me he had measured her height and weight at 5' tall and 90 pounds.
Dan says on 20/Sep/08
I picture Madonna as being around 5'4". I'm going from the videos I've watched from her tours. My guess is she definitely looks taller than Donna who appears to be the shortest of the 3. Between Madonna and Niki it's a little harder to tell although Niki is quite a bit heavier than Madonna and her thighs and hips are much larger than Madonna's.
Anonymous says on 19/Sep/08
No way is she 5'1..look at pictures of her with trainer Tracy Anderson (5'0)..There is clearly more than a one-inch difference :)
FEDERICA says on 17/Sep/08
I've seen her at the concert in rome ... she is very very small I think about 5.1 no more...
Lena says on 2/Sep/08
again-if xtina doen`t hide height so m-na wants to make herself bigger.they both look the same next to JTimberlake.that`s all
a petite girl says on 27/Aug/08
i am shocked i thought she was taller she looks fab at 50 though you gotta admit!
Sanna says on 11/Aug/08
She said 5, 4 and a half, not 5,3 and a half.
Anonymous says on 10/Aug/08
Why do people keep wanting to shrink this woman so much? She's probably 5ft 3.5 at the shortest, but I'd still put her in the 5'4 range. I've stood 3ft away from this woman and she doesn't appear too short at all. She just has a very small frame.
Brad says on 29/Jul/08
She's in tour training in gigantic 5" heeled boots. She's coming in at 5' 10" with the posture with them on. She's injecting vitamins daily. Android Ciccone.
Josephine says on 12/Jul/08
lol five four an a half maybe in Madonnaland. She is no taller than 5'3".
doc says on 27/Jun/08
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
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....
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!
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.
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.

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.
Anonymous says on 26/Oct/06

..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...
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

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.
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!!!!!
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!!

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.

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.
Lena says on 9/Jan/06
I heard that she is 1.54cm is it truth, so why does she says the opposite?

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?
