How tall is Shakira ?

Home :: Bookmark :: About  

Shakira's height is 5ft 2in (157 cm)

Colombian Singer.

From Maxim Magazine she said in regards to britney they are 'same height'

But also from that magazine:
Did you have any nicknames? When I was little, they used to make up all kinds of things, always playing on my name, like Cachita instead of Shakira. And now I get Shak, Shak Attack, Shaki, Shakazulu, Shakarita…but my classmates also used to call me Enana, which means dwarf, because I was always the tiniest one in my class. Do you wish you were taller? Actually, I like being petite. When you’re small, people tend to protect you and treat you in a soft, gentle way. And I like that. I like getting demonstrations of love and affection. Who doesn’t!
Visitor Katy pointed out Shakira said in a video she described herself as a "5 foot 3 girl from columbia"

Penelope Cruz is listed as 5'4" on this site. You mean to tell me that this is only two inches?

Editor Rob, take a look at this. Carson Daly is listed as 6'1 on this site, making him about 6'2 in shoes. In In very tall heels with what looks to have a bit of platform, Shakira is 10 inches shorter, or 5'4. Without those things, she can't be taller than 5'0.

No way she's 5ft 2in (157 cm).

Back in the mid 90's, when she was starting her career and singing in Spanish only, she said in a Mexican tv show "I'm just 152 cm"

To be more accurate, she said that in "Siempre en Domingo" (Always in Sunday).

She 's not 5'3 at all , i saw her she is little i think she 's 4'11 , that's it.

This is a joke, shakira is seriously like 5 foot nothing or 4 foot eleven. 5'1 is average in columbia so surely if she is 5'2 or 5'3 she could not have been considered small at all. Rob she needs a downgrade seriously.

In a recent interview for the Voice she said she was 5'3. This is the video in min 0.56 where she mentions that: Click Here

"Same height" as Britney. Somebody stop the laughing.

Dwarf? 5'1.5 is above average in Colombia (her country) or at least average. I think women's average there is 5'0-5'1. I went there a couple of years ago, I am a 5'5-5'5.5 girl and even in flats I literally towered over most women, while most of the men were more or less my height, with a very few exceptions.

On an episode of celebrity juice she was listed as 5 foot. Keith lemon said those were their actual heights. I don't believe it but beckham was listed as 6 foot on that show. I think shakira is at least 5 foot 2. She looks short but i think she could be 5 foot 3. If she claims britney's height, she must be close. 5 foot 3.

Wears giant heels much like Aguilera. As listed. J-Lo wouldn't be caught in the under 5' 2" footwear, she doesn't need it.

This is the evidence I am talking about. On this first pic, J-Lo is actually around 1.5 inches taller, but who knows if her heels are bigger than Shakira's. Regardless, it doesn't look like a 5'1.5 standing next to a 5'5 AT ALL

In this other photo, Shakira is actually looking TALLER!

So you be the judge, we all know J-Lo definitely deserves a two inch downgrade to her real height of 5'3, but also I'm advocating for Shakira's upgrade to AT LEAST 5'2.5, or perhaps a weak 5'3.
Johnnyfive says on 1/Sep/12
I usually don't upgrade celebs but I think shes closer to 5'3 based on pics I see of her and Jlo who you inexplicably have at 5'5 but is closer to 5'3 or 5'3.5. In those pics Shaki and Jlo look almook the same height and in some Jlo is about a half inch taller. Even at 5'3 Jlo should look considerably taller and she isn't not to mention at 5'5! Jlo should tower her! An upgrade to 5'2.5 or 5'3 is in order for Shakira.

On her documents (it's hers for sure, just check birth date etc.) she claimed to be 5'4" (162 cm) Click Here
