How tall is Madonna

Madonna's Height

5ft 3 ¼ (160.7 cm)

Peak height was 5ft 4 (162.6 cm)
American 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." On an early resume she also had her measurements listed as "34-23-34", with "Height: 5'5", "Weight: 105 [lbs]" and "Shoe Size: 7".

@Frank R

Wouldn’t say she’s under 5’2. I believe she’s 5’3.
Frank R said on 8/Mar/23
Madonna appears to be barely 5'2" today. She probably never reached 5'4".

I've just seen the film 'True Romance'. When I was watching the credits come up afterwards, I spotted a male name followed by the surname Ciccone. I'm almost certain it was either Tony or Anthony, and the name rang a bell as being that of one of her brothers. Yes, it is, and her father, 89, calls himself Tony as well, but it's his middle name.

Unfortunately, her brother was not the guy contributing to the film. Instead, I found that his past has been a rocky one, despite countless help attempts from his sister, but Tony the brother is now well on the road to recovery, I'm happy to say. Well done Madonna, and likewise to Tony. 😁👍

I came across an unexpected bit of height information while I was reading about Madonna and how the tragic early passing of her Mother, also a Madonna and aged just 30, affected the tiny girl, who was 4 or 5 at the time. Having just read what I have, I have all the more respect for Madonna's success, though I rate her acting over her music.

The info I found of interest is about Madonna's 24-year-old daughter, Lourdes. When I read that modelling is one of Lourdes's occupations, I thought, "Well, she must be taller than her Mum, surely?"

Then I read something rather amusing, which was that 'like her mother, Lourdes is tall'. What utter rubbish! Madonna has never pretended to be anything she isn't, and that includes her height. Of course I checked and double checked and I found 5ft7 two more times. Possibly egged on by the model agency whose books the young lady is on, I'd say that she's been rounded up and Rob would more than likely give her 5ft6.5 or so.

For Madonna herself, I've decided on 5ft4.25 for her peak and 5ft3.5 for today. She's maintained the ultimate fitness routine throughout her career, so I can't see it being a greater height loss than that.

Madonna looks like a mesomorph to me, but that could be due to her own devotion to keeping a youthful figure. Well, it's worked!

@Rob
Hahaha yes. They were being naughty onstage and Gwendoline said she had the best time of her life as fan of Madonna since childhood
Editor Rob
I'm sure many people would enjoy that attention from Madonna ☺️

Gwendoline certainly looked near a foot taller than her on stage!
Mimi said on 14/Dec/20
I saw a footage of Gwendoline Christie onstage at her concert. Both are wearing heels and Madonna seems to be about at her shoulder level.

there was some footage here...

if you go back a few minutes, Madonna is giving her a sp*anking too 😵

After watching some music videos of Madonna in the 1980s, she appears to be pretty short and tiny. The mic stand, her whole head to toe length from the floor. Her proportions say it all. Post 80's she starts looking a little bit taller. Probably wearing some kind of platform shoes by then. Having her as 5ft 4 here is misleading. I have a growing neice who's about 5ft 4 and from my calculation based on my naked eye, Madonna doesn't even come close. Even at her peak when she was still in her twenties. Peak height? Probably 5ft 1.

If at her peak of say 5ft 4, then a bit over 5ft 8 I'd have thought
Rosey said on 4/Dec/19
Everyone I've ever known has said when they've seen Madonna in person or waited on her, it's startling how tiny she is and how bad her skin is. I'm 5"11 sadly I wish I was taller. If Madonna is 5"4 1/2 then I'm 6 foot six.

Madonna is short lady. Claiming like 5'5 is hilarious. Madonna now is shorter than Ariana on the stage. Good 6 inches shorter than Rihanna, similar height like Nicki Minaj, similar height like Kim Kardashian.. 156 cms for her now.

heightgirl said on 16/Mar/18
Looks like Madonna is the same height as 5f1 or 5f2 Kim Kardashian? Kim gave her 5f1 height on her Myspace page by the way and she doesn't look any taller than that. I was actually a bit surprised because I thought Madonna was at least 5f2 or 3. She seemed a bit taller than Lady Gaga so I doubt Lady Gaga is even 5 foot now? Click Here

Editor Rob

Ian C. said on 4/Feb/18
Madonna said, "Everything about me is average?" She must have had a bad reaction to a medication there, as she accidentally told the truth. Madonna, who is mediocre at everything she does, has built a career based on little more than courage, physical strength and manic ambition. Her most successful imitator, Lady Gaga, is musically far superior.

Grr, grr, Kids today (or okay, kids in the 1980s) are idiots. You want to see real talent? Check out Patti Page, who was the champion female vocalist of the fifties. Page had a powerful contralto voice, never sang a note (or a song) wrong in her life, and really was extremely beautiful. (And she always wore clothing in public. I'm a little conflicted if that is a good or a bad thing.) None of her talent was forced or fake.

Rob, why no peak and present height for her? She's almost 60 years old and female. The average female will have lost 1" by 60.
Editor Rob
Danimal, Madonna may not have lost that much. I mean, maybe a fraction, but I'd be very surprised if she lost an inch.
Melisentia said on 30/Nov/16
How can Madonna be 5'0??? Watch her and Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at the MTV awards. Britney is about the same height as Madonna, maybe an inch taller, while Christina looks super short singing next to the two. Christina is 5'0 for sure. She is SHORT.
Sandy Cowell said on 25/Nov/16
I read countless times in the 80's when she first burst onto the scene that she was 5ft4.5!
Her music isn't something I'd pay to listen to, though I did pay to see her in the film 'Desperately Seeking Susan' and I quite enjoyed it, which is more than can be said for that dreadful documentary 'In Bed With Madonna' which should have been renamed 'In Earshot of Madonna', because there was so much swearing in it that it ceased being funny!
She didn't come over as small in the first film; she was noticeably taller than Rosanna Arquette, and chunkier, although they were supposed to be playing girls of the same size! (5ft4/110lbs - I still remember!)
I see she has lost an inch at the age of 58, which is often the way when women keep their food intake to a minimum.
She does work at looking good, and it shows, there's no denying her that!
MJKoP said on 15/Oct/16
"Everything about me is average"

I literally lol'd.
Heightgirl said on 14/Jul/16
Ariana Grande was wearing heels with 1" platforms and looked about the same height as Madonna but Grande is said to be max 5f1 so with that I think Madonna is actually 5f2 max. She was listed at that in the 80s but not sure why the bump in her height? Most celebs always seem to add an inch or two or three to their real height. lol

@T.N.T you must be MAD! Have you seen Madonna side by side against 6 FT Geena Davis in A League Of Their Own? In running plimsoles (which are no more than an inch in length) she came up above Davis' shoulder-so she MUST be over 5 ft 3! Her arms, legs & torso are too long for her to be 5 feet considering how athletically muscly she is!
mande2013 said on 19/Aug/15
@A6'1Guy One thing I find baffling but also amusing is that females more often have a tendency to underguess than to overguess a man's height. My mother has a tendency to think most men are 2-3 cms shorter than they are.
A6'1Guy said on 11/Jun/15
@T.N.T I believe it was proven or said to be so that the general female has a hard time estimating and comparing size, now there could be many factors that could play into it though.
T.N.T. said on 3/Jun/15
Another bogus height estimation, unless of-course super-platform heels are taken into account. No way was Madonna ever above the 5 foot range. 4 foot 11 women claiming that they're 5 foot 4; 5 foot 4 women claiming that they're 5 foot 8; and 5 foot 8 women claiming that they're over 6 feet.. It appears that the only men and women who are honest about their heights are the true barefoot 6-footers. Just put all these myth-lovers next to the true amazons-Gwendoline Christie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Karlie Kloss-and their myth will surely be busted. Oh yes, the other one that Gaga is 5 foot 1 is also for laughs.. (5 foot 1 with her hands up in the air, yes, that is feasible).
Rhonda said on 16/Mar/15
158cm on Johanthan Ross. Looks about 5ft2 with four inches heels on to make her still look small next Ross.
James Edward Crowley said on 14/Mar/15
She is 5ft 3.5in which is pretty much average height for a woman she is never looked taller than that even when she was younger she hasn't lost anything she is very fit for her age she was prettier than she was when she was younger.
VegasBitch said on 9/Feb/15
I stood next to her: I am 5'3" and she was shorter than me, which doesn't happen very often.
Ian C said on 16/Nov/14
And she has an I.Q. of 140, which is higher than the mean for the Nobel winners in Economics. If she uses the same special, personalized scale for measuring her height that she uses for measuring her intelligence she can easily claim to be six foot three.
MJB said on 28/Oct/14
Madonna is actually 5'4 and 1/2 tall but on her bio it says she's 5'5". on tour she's 110 lbs and when not on tour she's around roughly 120 lbs. But she does workout a lot too to get herself fit before going on tour. so this should answer all of you guys question.

westhollygym said on 29/Nov/13
If she is even 5'4" it's a stretch. In the gym in flat shoes in 1984 she was about 5'2" tall when she was still a little puffy and not in shape. Getting thinner didn't make her taller it just gave her the illusion of height. She isn't average She is tiny.

I held a door open to a lady in tweeds and her friend whilst entering a bar at the Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge around 2003/4 and was puzzled how she made her way past the rest of us to the front of the queue and was seated and served immediately by the bar staff. After, she handed over her tweed hat and jacket I could see why - it was none other than Madonna. She was in her mid 40s and looked about 28 with good skin. It's about the only time in my life when I have been truly star-struck. Taking into account her footwear, I would put her at 5ft4.
CLC said on 13/Feb/12
Madonna's father & My great grandmother were cousins. I've seen Madonna in concert a few years ago & she looked about 5'3" not counting the huge heels she had on. She was probably 5'4 no more, back in the 80s.
SIlent d said on 1/Feb/12
I heard she is short but not kylie minogue short. I remember on the graham norton show she was about his height in 5 inch heels. He's about 174cm. 161cm is about right. I think she is taller than lady gaga because gaga always wears platform heels.

Madonna has her beat in every photo with Perez. Madonna doesn't wear tread at awards, she's a strong 5' 3", bit more at age 23. AW's tale is laughable, she's nowhere near 5' 0" or 5' 1" or 2".

In 1994, my sister and I spent nearly an hour in a very small shoe store in virginia highlands (atlanta) with madonna. At many times they stood side by side, butt to butt standing in front of a shoe mirror. i paid close attention to the different size heals and at one point they had on the same pair if different colors. my sister - i measured afterwards barefoot because I was shocked by Madonna's petiteness... my sister measured 5'4 3/8". Madonna was considerably shorter. she is either 5'0, 5'1 or 5'2"max! I would bet my life on it. The fact that this site lists her at 5.3.5 makes me question all other heights listed here.

She's rarely seen without customs, she hates being short. The wedge sneakers and gigantic boots onstage are for a reason.

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 said 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 said 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 said 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.

weak 5-4 for sure,but can give a 5-3 impression only cause you expect taller.
Brad said 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 said on 29/Apr/09
Madonna is taller than Kelly Clarkson, who is 5 ft 3.5. So she can be 5 ft 5
Anonymous said 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 said 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

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.

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 said 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 said 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.

5-3.5,but 5-4 is possible.saw her alot recently.

Madonna isn't 5' 2", she's 5' 4".
Wil said 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 said 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 said 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 said 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 said 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.

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 :)

She said 5, 4 and a half, not 5,3 and a half.

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 said 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.

lol five four an a half maybe in Madonnaland. She is no taller than 5'3".
doc said 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.

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 said 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 said 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!

Anna - 2" like taller? looks like at least 4 to me
Anna said 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 said 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

Hop Sing said 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 said on 10/Jan/08
Perhaps she has shrunken maybe she's wearing 3 inch high heels!
Oz said 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 said 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 said 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!

my friend saw her at a video shoot in North London and said he was tiny maybe 5'2"
TJ said 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.
pamela said 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 said 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 said 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.

Brad- Funny thing is that her brother Enrico is 6'4", assuming NHL measurements are accurate.
Brad said 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.

She's 5' 4". She isn't tiny. She does hire small dancers to look taller.

..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 said 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 said 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.

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 said 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.

Glenn, was it a fight to get this photo with her? What was she like?
Brad said 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 said on 18/Aug/06
what size does Madonna use in shoes????
Lena said 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 said 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

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 said 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 said 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 said 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. ;)

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 said 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 said 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.

She is 5'4, she is the same height as ellen degeneres in heels, and somebody on here said she was wearing 4 in heels on ellen, you are way off, when ellen and madonna were talking about her heels you saw cleary they were very short heels like a inch and a half or 2 but certainly not 3 and definately not 4, so she is 5'4 or very close to it.

there certainly wasn't much between them...as for their footwear,

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.

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.

Madonna does look about 5 feet 3 inches.

Britney is reportedly 5 feet 4 1/2 inches and Christina Aguilera is 5 feet 2 inches. Below is a photo of threesome standing next to one another.

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!

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 said 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?
jimbo said on 17/Feb/05
No way is madonna 5'4 and a half , when ever she is standing beside 5'4 britney spears she is always an inch shorter than britney .
