She looks 5'6"-5'7" in her videos Darkness says on 5/Mar/10
I always thought that she could be taller(5'7)....but she is 5 ft 1.5 in (156 cm)..but still height doesn't matter...what matter is how she is... Mike says on 4/Mar/10
so funny.... 5'1" or 5'3"... what's the difference, it's all short :D What is important about a small girl looks-wise is not if she is 5'1" or 5'3, but that here body is proportioned properly. Avril looks really nice, she still has legs. Problem is if you are short girl with chunky legs.... - also person writing about average height of american male being 5'9"... I suspect if you too non-caucasians out of the mix, then it would be taller... slightly. Any race from the Asian Continent (Indians, Arabs, East Asians) are all short in general. Then you have Mexicans and other Hispanics which now constitute a sizeable proportion of the American population, dragging the average height down as well. JEN says on 23/Feb/10
Hey all, I was actually face to with Avril and we were the exact same height (give or take) Thaat would make us both 5'2 and a quarter...lol just thought I throw my 2 cents in. Samuel says on 8/Feb/10
She is one of my favourite singers.i thought she would be around 5.7 but she's shorter than me .I'm 5.4 &i'm much taller than her To Marcus says on 3/Dec/09
You did security for Avril and your 5'3", ok sure you did. I guess you could stop all the 9 yr olds from attacking her. lol Luis L says on 16/Nov/09
Well I think it don't matter wether you're short or tall what matter the most is how you are Avril says on 6/Nov/09
i was really surprised when i knew she was short! and i searched and searched on the net! and still searchin! but im realy happy that my favourite singer is short like me,im 156 just like her! i love hrn myself! we are both shot.....!hhehehehe Aimee says on 30/Aug/09
5'6" is NOT tall for a girl. LOL. To whomever thought it was. It's only a bit taller than the average (an inch and a half actually). I would say: 5'0" - 5'1 = very short,"5'2"-5'3" = A little Short, 5'4 - 5'6" = Average, and 5'7" - 5'8" A little taller than average and anything above 5'8" is tall for a girl. Hannah says on 26/Aug/09
wow i always thought she'd be like 5'7ish but ive learned that a lot of calebs are shorter then we think . sSsS says on 9/Aug/09
I've never thought of Avril as beautiful before. I think she majorly lacks beauty, actually. Emmy Rossum is beautiful, Avril is nice looking...and short. Lola says on 21/Jul/09
I've been to many websites and most of them said she was 5'2". I was shocked because I always that she was at least 5'5". But anyway I agree with what boswell says, avril lavigne is very beautiful. and I mean VERY beautiful. I really wish I looked like her Lola says on 21/Jul/09

Just stumbled on this site and already I'm hooked. I have spent about 45 minutes with Avril Lavigne when she made a surprise visit to a tourist spot in Toronto where I used to work. My first impression was a combination of, stunned by her beauty, particularly her mouth, and stunned by how much star power and charisma was packed into such a tiny frame. What a little gem! She is very petite. I have a photo taken with her. I am 5' 8" and she is much shorter. I'll always remember the occasion. Stars are different. avril lavigne says on 28/Apr/09
height avril lavigne Brad says on 13/Apr/09
Avril played a casino room the last time in Vegas. She played to 18,000 at the MGM before. Crash n burn career....not as bad as Alanis who was an opening act last time out. The industry was stunned. J-D says on 11/Apr/09
C. - You're crazy....Avril is stunningly beautiful. None of the other singers you mentioned come close to Avril's beauty. Christina is hot, but not as hot as Avril. And for Kylie and Shakira.......c'mon, you're kidding.....right? And Avril's teeth are sexy and her body is perfect. I dont know who you're hanging around with, but I know lots of men and women who think Avril is beautiful. lily says on 24/Mar/09
rob, when u mention someones height, do u mention their morning height or evening???
[Editor Rob: think of mid-day, some listings might be more accurate for morning but generally I don't think straight out of bed heights.] marcus says on 5/Mar/09
i meet her and did some surcurity for her while she was visiting and she was shorter then me and im 5'3" i thought she was 5' or less kmac says on 3/Mar/09
her teeth are one thing that made me think she was hot in the first place. i like them. glass says on 4/Feb/09
I delivered an acoustic guitar for her to sign for some charity... 5'1.5" is about right. She was really sweet. Diane says on 30/Jan/09
5ft1.5 sounds about good; I'd personally go with 5'2 more, but i have nothing to back that up. I'm about 5'2 and have been since 11, and i did grow about .25 of an inch around 18. So actually yea you can. And also I'm 5'2 and in most chairs if i sit back my feet don't reach the ground. Short people look short; people always think we're like 5 foot nothing at best...so i think she kinda rides on that. 5'2ish!! Brian says on 12/Jan/09
I would take Lavigne over Christina anyday. I like her teeth the way they are too. But damn both of them are short. D. Ray Morton says on 6/Dec/08

"Christina beats her only because of Avril's teeth." Maybe that's why I hear such harsh comments about her looks-- and I do mean always on her looks before anything else. Which is why I'm quite surprised people here actually have nice things to say about her. Sad to hear her being self-conscious about her teeth though. I've seen far, far worse, but I guess people just like to pick on her for some reason or the other. I don't think she's ugly or anything, just not drop dead gorgeous. runt says on 2/Dec/08

"There's plenty of women far more attractive than Avril, tall or short. I don't know many men or women who find her beautiful in the least-- I usually hear quite harsh comments about her "beauty" or lack thereof. Petite songstresses like Kylie, Christina, Shakira, etc. hold ringlets around her in the looks department, IMO."
Disagree. I'll give you Shakira. But Avril has the best eyes of the bunch and overall is very nearly equal to Christina and slightly above Kylie. Christina beats her only because of Avril's teeth. Avril is going to get dental work because she is self-conscious about it. So she only goes up from here. We'll see the results and I might end up putting her above Christina. someone says on 1/Dec/08
jeez, and i thought i was short! i'm 5'2. a lot of people make fun of me because i'm so short :*(, but i see a lot of celebrities like avril, hilary duff and shakira who are all smaller then me C. says on 1/Dec/08

She's around 5'1" and no taller. Many pictures and camera footage don't make her to be any taller than that. Unless she's in high heels or platforms. Do Hyeon says on 30/Oct/08
Really, are you sure about this?/?!1 Zoe says on 26/Oct/08
If she stated herself she is 5'1" that has to be her actual height. Unless she adds that extra Hollywood bogus inch that many people do. She looks so tiny anyways, still has the body and look of a 13 year old. janice says on 13/Oct/08
Around 5'1 to 5'2 it is. Nothing much less and definitely nothing more than that! Love her, this site NEEDS a photo of her! Dave says on 8/Oct/08
you're kidding about the looking like she's 5'8" right? I always thought she looked weeee. mabaleen says on 6/Oct/08
im 5''8';i usually get remarks like, ''oh your're tall'' or, '' woow you're tall'' its kind of anoying but imean i never thought that avril was that short in all her videos she looks really tall;like 5''8' or something wow. i guess looks can lie, huh! Ash says on 30/Sep/08
NO NO SHES 5 foot 2 inches because i went backstage and saw her and she was 1 inch shorter then me and im 5 foot 3 SOTUdc says on 15/Sep/08
I'm a 6'8" tall male living in my home town of Washington DC. Where most power people who come,are sent to my city are shorter then average. It's not bad being a tall guy. But there is a shortage of tall women I can talk to and dance the salsa with (punz intended). It's just that it is a short world after all. I bang my head on door lentals... Have trouble sitting in any public transportation. For gat PT I have trouble in my own car. Finding clothes... forget about it. I go into shoe stores just to hear then laugh about how the salesa staff has never seen size 16 shoes. Have to order clothes online. Some New Englander has my size sweat shirt. And since the re-sizing of clothes sizez so Americans don't feel as fat as we are. My pants and sleeve length have gone from Orangutan to Giant Squid. One can always cut off exess matrerial and make something look OK. But adding material make thinks look as if ones talor also does work for Dorothy's friend the Scarecrow. Man talking about clothes sounds really gay... Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;~) Madison says on 24/Aug/08
No! Avril is around 5'1 when I had VIP tickets to one of her concerts with my family we all stood beside her and my mom is 5'2 and Avril was about an inch shorter than my mom and my sister who is 5'3 was about 2 inches taller than her so she gotta be 5'1. runt says on 12/Aug/08
What?? 5-3+shoes=the average barefoot woman. The fact that her feet couldn't reach the floor off that interview chair would be so impossible LOL! IrishGirl says on 7/Aug/08
She's 5ft 3in
On an iterview they measured her without shoes on and they said she's 5ft 3
That's still short...i'm short too lol im 5ft 2 i like bein short though theres nothing wrong with it:)
[Editor Rob: where and when was this...such a thing would be of great interest here!] runt says on 19/Jul/08
In fact, I'm beginning to think that 5-2ish is the Hollywood females' version of the male 5-7ish. 5-7ish has been known for a long time as the shortest 'respectable' height for a male celeb, therefore even the 5-4 guys try to claim 5-7ish. With females, I think 5-2ish is the shortest 'normal' height. I wouldn't say 'respectable' for females because they don't have as many casting or popularity problems because of below average height like the males do. runt says on 19/Jul/08
I now think that anything over 5-1 flat just can't be right. That's because I just watched an interview where her feet didn't touch the floor off of a standard guest chair. I think any guest chair that wouldn't accomodate a 5-2 woman (even if she has shorter-than-average legs for a 5-2 woman), is very badly designed. Therefore she's gotta be 5-1.0 MAX and something like a 4-10.5 MIN. I've never noticed any female celebs who are know to be 5-2ish not be able to reach the floor before. I could be wrong though...

im pretty tall for a girl-5'6", but alot of guys are alot taller than me, which makes me happy :)also i think avril isnt any taller than 5'2". shes really pretty, and i luv her songs. im really self conscious about my height though because guys always say that they like short girls :( Shirin says on 12/Jul/08
Yes I think so, but in another site its mentioned that she is 5'3!!! Lex says on 7/Jun/08
She's definitely in the 5'1 to 5'2" range because I saw some sort of ID card of hers online a long time ago and it said he height in centimeters. It's not quite 5'2". I, personally, am 5'1.5", so I think that's cool that she and I are the same height. Crush says on 31/May/08

HUH? :O
the average for american male is 5'9". 6' is actually signifigantly above average.
You might be right that super models are 5'10 and up with a few exceptions, but there are plenty of working models (maybe not super) who are between 5-8 and 5-10.
But I'll take Avril over almost every supermodel out there (maybe 2 or 3 exceptions).
You may be right, but I was told by my doctor that the average hight for an adult white or black American male is 5'10" to 6' and for hispanic American men 5'9" to 5'10". Again I'm not arguing with you, just going by what I was told and what I've read and if you are right, at least now I can say I'm average height (5'9.5") :)
As for super models Tyra Banks on ANTM has said on several occaisions the average height for a super model is 5'10" but you are right, there are plenty of super models under that. Heidi Klum I've read is about 5'9" and Kate Moss has been billed at 5'6".
And yes I'd also take Avril over any super model aswell! Guido G. says on 24/May/08
The height about her sounds right, in the higher 5'1 or lower 5'2 range, NEVER 5'3.

I never pictured Avril over 5'2" and I always figured she was more likely around 5'1" or so. Either way Avril is Hot (just like her song says)!!!
Anyways ladies truth is most men, myself included, prefer shorter, petite women contrary to popular belief so don't feel too bad if your on the shorter side. I mean the average height for an american male is 5'10 to 6' and the minimum height for a super model is 5'10 with a few exeptions and most guys don't like dating women who are as tall or taller than them.

Iv always been small and obviously still am lolz n to be honest ive never actually hated it neva wanted to be any taller, unless your actually abnormally short then why worry? i think its actually nicer to be small. im about avrils height mayb a bit taller im 5'2 and im about the same size but she looks super thin nowdays even though shes always been slim :S so now id say i was prob bigger then her but im only a size 8. i think she makes people proud that there small but i dont think she should be this thin aswell bcoz it will inspire people like me who are naturally small to be even smaller, but only coz she looks good with it aswell and people think if there that thin theyl look that good but really they look healthy but still small, i think shes way to thin i heard she was 6 n a arf stone a full grown woman cnt possibly be that naturally right?

She may be taller since she got married. I still remember in 2002 - 2003, she was always the first person, I had to see, in a crowd because she's too tiny (about 5'- 5'1). However, it's hard to believe that she grows up. Beside 4'11 Shakira, she's 5'1 as always. kalina says on 23/Jul/07

littlemissmay: I don't know what part of the country you live in, maybe it has a high average height. But according to the bell curve, 5' for a woman is just as prevalent in this country as 5'8" for a woman. For every 5-8 model there is a 5' doll, for every 5-9 model there is a 4-11 doll, for every 5-7 tall chick there is a 5-1 short chick, for every 5-6er there is a 5-2er, for every 5-5er there is a 5-3er. 5-4 is dead on average. littlemissmay says on 3/Jun/07

Avril is obviously above 5'0, because herhusband Deryck Whibley is 5'5.5 and he's not 6 inches taller than her, she generally where's Converse Old School, which adds only about .5 inches generally, depending on the shoe, sometimes it's only .4 or even .3, so she's actually 5'1.5 as they say, though with shoes she's around 162. Anonymous says on 28/Apr/07
Avril's pretty short. She looks 5'1" and she can't be more than 5'2" Lee Lee says on 28/Apr/07
well..i found Avril very cute, especially in "complicated" her song..i think she's very cute..and her black bra looks sexy to me.=)) Kathryn says on 25/Apr/07
well, i think she´s 5'2'', no taller, no smaller. because she has flat shoes on, just look at the next two pictures. and so she´s 5'2'', 5'3'' tops. AirSky says on 25/Apr/07
I agree with UNK, and she looks like a kid, small girl. Very pretty too. I thought she was 5', 5'1" should be about right. UNK says on 23/Apr/07
Avril is 5'1". She says herself she is, and she looks it. She is also very cute and talented. Sure, she could be annoying and her songs are immature at times... but I give her credit, overall she is a good singer with a lot of energy. Anonymous says on 22/Apr/07
There are separate shots in other albums from that night that show her feet, and you can see that she is wearing flat soled boots. Nevertheless, I never claimed she was any taller than 5'1" (although I think she may be), I just asked how tall her mother is. What? says on 21/Apr/07
You cant even see their feet you liar, stop making up bs.
Look she is 5ft 1in, thats that. Anonymous says on 18/Apr/07
I'm curious how tall her mother is.....at her release party, this is Avril in flat soled boots, and her mother in heels, and Avril is STILL taller...
Click Here Michellle says on 18/Apr/07
I just saw her on Live with Regis and Kelly and she was inches shorter that Kelly Ripa who is reportably 5'3". So I think she isn't even 5' ladyofthelake says on 16/Apr/07
the other night on snl (april 14, '07) she stood next to amy poehler at the end of the show; amy (who is reported to be 5'1" or 5'2") was substantially taller. Kathryn says on 15/Apr/07
she looks 5'2''-5'2.5''. not taller. but 5'1'' is too small. becuase she doesnt always wear high heels but flat heels sometimes. so 5'2'' is obvious. dwarfs says on 10/Apr/07
I'm not so sure how I feel about everyone comparing her height to her husband's. His page says 5'4.5" but I'm just not convinced he's that tall. The guy is constantly walking around in these ridiculous looking platform-type shoes. Even when he got married, his groomsmen wore black dress shoes, and he was wearing those ugly platform things! This man is obviously self concious about his height. It really wouldn't suprise me if he told people he was an inch or two taller than he actually is. Not hard-core evidence or anything, but i just don't think he's a reliable comparison point. Flory says on 9/Apr/07
I don't understand you guys! She said she was 5 ft 1!! She was already a blond sweety then, she was over 20 years so she didn't grow since then. Rob she is 5 ft 1. Come one, you heard her. That's it... Why do you want her to be taller then she is! And by the way deryck is short to, he is like 5 ft 4..so their kids are gonna be small to. So everyone come on stop saying; No she is 5 ft 2 or taller. NUMBERONEAVRILFANOK says on 6/Apr/07
Well, technically, if you apply a standard equation to the image, you can create an almost exact accurate estimation to the hights of both figures. It's really rather simple...infact, I have a whole web page dedicated to it as i feel the argument is so incredibly important...www.theequationtomeasureavrillavignesalmostexactheight.com. Of course, with the simpler minds it's 'open to interpretation' but with the hard core fan base...you know what to do. ThisGirl says on 4/Apr/07
Check it out... Deryck is supposedly 5'4"-5"... they're both wearing flat shoes in these photos, walking right next to each other. It's obvious that she's only about 2 inches shorter than him... which means that she's 5'2"-3".
Click Here Anonymous says on 31/Mar/07
i seriously doubt she's that short. her husband is 5'5", and she is only 2 inches shorter than him AT THE MOST. i'd say she's like 5'3"-5'4". sunbeame says on 25/Mar/07
I really don't see anything above 5'1 after seeing these:

she says she's 5'1 in this backstage interview that you can check out here: Click Here (ignore the stupid title). so there, no more arguing. shortie chic says on 19/Feb/07
it's funny how people argue over the exact height of short people... no one seems to ever dispute the heights of average people or taller people. I am 5'3 without shoes - but I wear high heels all the time - so then I get accused of being under 5 feet tall. can't we just let Avril be short and cute and leave it at that? Anonymous says on 13/Feb/07
Franco, that comment isn't exactly "stupid" Sure, Avril wasn't barefooted, but I'd venture to bet that the person who met her at the TRL studio wasn't barefoot either. If somebody says they're 5'2", that probably means they're 5'2" barefoot, not with shoes. So if Avril, with shoes, was taller than somebody wearing shoes that's 5'2" barefoot, then it's reasonable to think that she might be 5'3"-5'4" barefoot. Random Girl..x says on 10/Feb/07
Its her own buisness wot height she is! I dont understand why people get so hooked up on looking like, acting like and being like there fave celeb!! I mean they r just ordinary people that have a talent and got a big break! Most of them i fake i bet you! Everyone has a talent but not everyone has the right people around them to help them be successful! You dont see people lookin up to someone from a farm in england do you?? Its pathetic how people can stalk celbs and think that they are the greatest people in the world and cant jest let them get on with their lives! Peace out..[x].. ThisGirl says on 4/Feb/07
She IS 5'2". Why people can't accept that and get over it is beyond me. Martin Smith Lopez says on 21/Jan/07
I gotta agree with Tony, she needs an upgrade, she's got to be 5'3-5'4- I MET HER IN TRL STUDIOS in December and she was little taller than me, and I am 5'2. UNK says on 18/Jan/07
I'm thinking she is getting more than 2" out of the heels with Bruce.. probaby closer to 3".
But I agree the chick is about 5'2", maybe slightlet under, maybe slightly over.. 5'2" is safe. jonothan says on 17/Jan/07
nope tony. she's wearing one inch boots with bowwow not heels: Click Here
she's 5'2"-5'3"
And with bruce willis.. those were surefire elevators tony says on 17/Jan/07
i agree avril may have once upon a time been around 5'2 but shes definitely grown since. it may be irregular for a girl to grow past the age of 16 but it happens. presley is listed at 5'2 + 3 inch heels in that photo and shes only got tops 2 1/2 inch advantage. that'd make her what? 5'3ish which is an average height for girls. unlike guys girls have a shorter range in their height differences. in my senior year high school shoot the girls standing in a line arranged shortest to tallest looked virtually the same girl to girl obviously between shortest and tallest theres a significant difference. 5'2-5'7 is probably the range for 90% of girls some people have major heightism issues relating to women that posted here. but yes to reiterate another commenter i think avril needs an 'upgrade' to 5'3 5'4 tony says on 17/Jan/07

Yes, UNK, I was trying to say that she is 5'2" according to the pictures. UNK says on 11/Jan/07
yeah, but lisa is 5'2". and avril is probably gettin an 1" or more with those sneakers. so they would be basically be the same hieght barefoot, which is around 5'2". what is the arguement? jonothan says on 11/Jan/07
Well Lisa's OBVIOUSLY taller because she's wearing 3 inch heels smart one. Anonymous says on 8/Jan/07
Those pictures from Jonathan are totally different..Lisa Marie isn't even wearing the same outfit. In the first one, Avril is taller but we cant see the footwear. In the second pic we see the footwear and Lisa Marie is taller... Dunken says on 6/Jan/07
those pictures jonothan posted... i agree, she deserves at least another inch. 5'2.5, maybe even 5'3. anonymous says on 5/Jan/07
okay whoever says that she is 5'3 or mopre ios seriously crazy i dont even think that shes more than 5'0 jonathan says on 2/Jan/07
Actually the flip flops give her .5 inch max.
In my opinion she is no less than 5'2" but no more than 5'3" UNK says on 2/Jan/07
He has her at 5'1.5" not 5'1".. maybe she's 5'2". All the evidence here lately is proving that she's no way bigger than 5'3". 5'4" claims are nuts. A 5'4" woman in hollywood heels (4-5") looks quite tall. No way Avril is in the range of Lindsay Lohan (5'4" ish).
Seacrest is no bigger then 5'7", and her flip-flops are giving her an inch.
Whatever though - I don't care, make her what you all want.. she looks 5'2" to me. miriam lennox says on 30/Dec/06
Avril is definetely 5'3-5'4. I MET her and I'm 5'4, and she was about my height. GangstaEmma says on 27/Dec/06
Hi rob, I just emailed you my pic with Avril, did you get it? If not, let me know and I'll send it again. Leah says on 22/Dec/06
Alex, she's said 5'1" once, not "numerous times"
She is 5'2". I have received an autograph from her.
I remember thinking when I met her "Wow, she's not as short as people make her out to be" Alex says on 20/Dec/06
She has said 5'1 numerous times and I doubt she's taller than what she says nor do I think she is shorter. She does look 5'1 to me actually, ThisGirl says on 16/Dec/06
P.S. I definitely have to agree with GangstaEmma. Every person I know claims a certain height as if they measure themselves constantly. The truth is that most people are not exactly sure.
Not too long ago I thought I was 5'4"... I was convinced that I was at least 5'3" and even had that height put on my drivers license. Than a few months ago my boyfriend decided to measure me just for the heck of it... turns out I'm only 5'2".
Think how many other people say the same yet the truth is that they really have no clue and are probably just guessing/relying on old information. ThisGirl says on 16/Dec/06
UNK - Those interviews and whatnot are from like 5 years ago. She was only 17 when she got famous... people grow and gain weight overtime. She definitely has gained about 10lbs since her first album came out... and she's also obviously grown probably at least an inch or two. Leah says on 15/Dec/06
I'd have to say I'm with Emma on this one. I have too seen Avril Lavigne upclose when getting an autograph. We were both in converse, level ground and exactly the same height. I am exactly 5'2" GangstaEmma says on 13/Dec/06
I'm not saying I want her bigger than she is. I'm sorry if I overreacted. All I am saying is that I know for a fact that I am 5'2", I have met her, and we were the same height. So I suppose I am the only one on this site who knows her real height. And why are you saying our claims are ridiculous? As surprising as it may sound, a lot of people don't know their real heights because they guess or just THINK they're that height. You have know idea how many times I've seen people tell me they were 5 feet tall and then the next day in gym class they end up being like 5'3"? And how about Britney Spears that time? She once claimed she was 5'2" in a cyber interview and she's actually 5'4.5"? UNK says on 11/Dec/06
GangstaEmma - Nobody is downgrading her. Rob has her listed at this height because 5'1" came out of her mouth on film... look below and watch it. Maybe she is close to 5'2" and still says 5'1", who knows. What we do know is everyone putting her at 5'3"+ really doesn't want to bother with the facts. Everytime I instruct to watch Avril say her height on film, they point us to some ridiculous pic or snl clip and start the guessing again.
It's offensive that so many of you can't believe that the girl is in the 5'1"/5'2" range. Millions of women are, it's a pretty common height for a female. She is a very petite, attractive singer.. why do you want her bigger than she is?
Leah - It's very uncommon for a girl to grow past 17/18 years old. Most stop by 16. Males on the other hand usually stop around 21, some up to 25. Leah says on 8/Dec/06
Yes, and the video was shot about 2 years back when she was 19, she might of grown since then. Also you can tell she's bending a knee in the video which takes away about 2 inches because at the end of the video she stands up straighter, which gives Snoop about a foot on her or possibly 13 inches but nevertheless she's gotta be more than what she's listed. GangstaEmma says on 8/Dec/06
haha idiots. i think i trust my judgement next to your using pics to try to find out her height. stop downgrading already. I HAVE MET AVRIL. I AM EXACTLY 5'2" I JUST MEASURED. AVRIL AND I WERE THE SAME HEIGHT! I am emailing pictures to rob as we speak. UNK says on 8/Dec/06
Sorry Leah, Snoop has at least a foot on her. 5'11" Fallon looks to have close to 10" on her. Anonymous says on 8/Dec/06
Can anybody confirm that her mother is actually that short? If Avril is around 5'2", her mother looks like she can't be more than 5' (based on the wedding photo). Any other pictures of the two of them together? UNK says on 8/Dec/06
OMG - You guys are insane. The girl gives her height all the time. She says around 5'1". And recently agreed to 5'2" in a cyber interview. There is no mystery.

Go on Youtube.com and search "Avril Lavigne SNL" In the video she is standing next to 6'3.5" Snoop Dogg and only appears 11" to a foot shorter. She's in sneakers too. So about 5'3.5" maybe a little less? marta says on 3/Dec/06

Avril is definetely 5'4-5'3. Brad says on 24/Nov/06
I swear by Converse to eliminate my height. 1/2" is right, maybe less. She wears heels now. 5' 2". ThisGirl says on 19/Nov/06
I agree with Jeana & kelz. She is skinny and she does wear Converse like ALL the time... and lets face it, those are like the flattest shoes you can get. They add on like 1/2".
She was 5'1" maybe when she first came out, but it's obvious that she grew a bit and gained some weight. Jill says on 18/Nov/06
I saw her in concert with butch walker. And she looks about 5'3. And i was farely close to the stage. Plus she was wearing vans. Which make people look more shorter then they are. I would change the height to 5'3 kelz says on 18/Nov/06
she had a Q&A on her official site and one person asked if it was true that she was only 5'2" and she said "yes. it's funny because whenever people see me they're like, oh how tiny you are" more evidence proving she's taller than what she's listed, i agree with jeana Jeana says on 12/Nov/06
People downgrade her way too much. She's not 5'0, no way! She's not even 5'1.5"
She's AT LEAST 5'2" She only looks 5'0 sometimes because of what she wears, plus she's really skinny. UNK says on 9/Nov/06
She says she is 5'1" (and she looks 5'1"). It came out of her own mouth. There was a link to the video of her saying it some where below. Maybe she is 5.1.5", but no way 5'3.
She used to look shorter when she wore converse/vans everywhere. She is into heels. Don't be fooled! Anonymous says on 31/Oct/06

I don't see what so tiny about Avril. She looks like a normal girl to me with healthy weight. Being short doesn't make you tiny, it's about bone thickness. From what I see she looks rather average, not tiny but not "thick" as well. savannah says on 21/Jun/06

Well..i saw avril in concert, and she had on these big boots that were about a 1 inch bottom, and she looked about 5'3. So im gonna give her 5'2. everywhere on the internet i read it says shes 5'2. And when she was about 17 or 18 everyone said she was 5'1, so she could have grown, i mean its totally normal for people that age to grow another inch or two.
