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...

yea i agree with 5'1 to 5'1.5 cause she said she was 5'1 on a id card thinng. =] avvrill rocks mizori says on 16/Jul/08
im 14 and im 5'6":( all these guys are always like "i luv short girls" and "short girls are hot" and it makes me feel soooo ugly! i wish i was like 5'4" or 5'3". short girls are so lucky. i mean some girls in my grade (9th) are like 5'10" all the way to 6'2"(!!!) but most of them are 5' to 5'4" and i feel like such a giant. i love finding girls who are taller than me because i always think "yes! finally someone taller!" since alot of my friends are shorter than me, if only by a little. some are taller, but most are shorter.so all the guys seem to like them. i h8 it:( mizori says on 16/Jul/08
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!!! John says on 24/Jun/08
I think its so cute that she picked a guy thats short. Deryck is 5' 4.5" and I'm sure she had her pick of guys that are tall. I'm 5'6" and i think shorts girls a extra hot to me with 5'2" being ideal. 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
I'm pretty sure 5'1 to 5'1.5 is correct.
And i agree to the previous posters: This site needs a picture to prove it ;) Anonymous says on 29/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.
A picture here would be great ... runt says on 20/May/08

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.

its acceptable to be short as a women.short women and tall women are attactive.not too many women want 5-2 men.but 4-11 and up women are fine by me.up to 5-10 maybe,since im on the shorter side of average. Anonymous says on 28/Apr/08
I always thought she was 5'2. That's what I've seen everywhere... but okay... Amy says on 28/Apr/08
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? glenn says on 27/Apr/08

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.

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.

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 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

woops i have to correct myself. turns out you were right on this one glenn :]. next to 6'0 bruce (in 2006 photos) she's wearing high heels and is barely past his shoulder. knowing celebrities if anything bruce would list his height as being taller or would wear elevators so if he was smaller then 6'0 at the awards itd only mean that avril is even shorter. i guess in the photo with bow wow we can say she may have had high heels on. i cant make sense of the photographs of her and perez though, unless perez's height is mislabelled by some 3 inches. 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.

If you go to avrillavigne.com and you register at Crossbonez (it's free) you can see a couple of video's. In the video "Killing Time - Part 6: Show time" she says something like "I like shopping in Japan, cause everyone is so small there. I'm like... 5'1" and a li'll under 100 pounds."
[Editor Rob: thanks element, I heard that now, yes 5ft 1...] Jeana says on 7/Dec/06
I agree with Robb on the Cinder block wall thing. I was in my school gymnasium the other day, and after reading his comment the day before, I measured the blocks with my fingers and they were for sure 8 inches tall each Leah says on 5/Dec/06
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
Click Here , and this pic is with Ashley Johnson who's 5'6, and they look about the same height, so Avril's got to be 5'4. Tisha says on 3/Dec/06
Avril is definetely 5'4 or 5'3, just look at this pic with Catalina Sandino who's 5'7-5'8.

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. Viper652 says on 9/Nov/06
Id say 5-0. 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
Yeah alright, so those boots add about an inch. And Bow Wow's in sneakers which probably add about 1/2 an inch so never the less Bow wow has a 2.5 inch height advantage and he is 5'5.5" Tisha says on 30/Oct/06
Yeah, she does need an upgrade, she's 5'3, 5'3.6 Anonymous says on 30/Oct/06
'Anonymous says on 26/Oct/06', don't forget to take her footwear into consideration. She's wearing some pretty chuinky boots.

I agree with Anonymous (below). She's definitely at least 5'2". I saw her in concert and she looked about my height (we were right next to the stage)... and I'm 5'2".
Plus she usually wears flat shoes, like in the picture below... you can tell she's only a couple of inches shorter than Bow Wow, and his child is even slightly tilted upward.
Upgrade her. Leah says on 10/Oct/06
Avril is taller than 5'1" for sure. I met her and we were the same height. I'm 5'2" I just measured again. I'll try to dig up the picture of her and I so I can e-mail it to you, Rob. Gazelle says on 5/Oct/06
In Australian there was a quiz show that said that Missy Elliot was shorter than Avril...Missy Elliot they said was 5'1 so Avril must be taller than 5'1. Courtney says on 30/Sep/06
Yeah, there was some video where she was talking about how it's easiest for her to shop in Japan cause they're all about her size, and she made the comment about he being "5'1" and about 100 pounds". Someone I know met her, and the on-going joke with her is that Avril and I are the shortest poeple she knows (cause I'm 5'1" also). It all depends what you wear though...it's like an optical illusion. Amanda says on 27/Sep/06
If she says she's 5' 1" then I think that's right. :) Anonymous says on 22/Sep/06

I have always loved your songs. I have the Under my Sking CD and the Let Go CD. I want to get all of your other CD's too. Your height is very short for 22 years old. I'm sorry but....yeah. My sister's height is taller than yours and she's only 14. Well, lucky you if you get another growth spurt. UNK says on 28/Jun/06

I think she is about 5"2', maybe she is higher.
When I looked at the pictures of her, she seemed tall( Of course she was wearing high-heeled shoes)
I am just about her height..
From my experience, I thin kshe is about my height. just4girl says on 22/Jun/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
Actually, Avril Lavigne grew about a half an inch. She was 5' 1.5" when she was 18, but now she's 5'2". anonymous says on 9/Jun/06
For the Paris Hilton pic, you don't see their shoes. Avril could be wearing heels and Paris could be wearing flats. You can't tell from that picture. Casey says on 6/Jun/06
Avrils 5"2 coz when i was at her concert we were exactly the same height n i was 5"2,it was really creepy D. Ray Morton says on 9/May/06
A buddy of mine who played on her first record told me she was "really tiny...5' maybe?" Of course, she might've grown since then... Wicked Kid says on 4/May/06
If Avril's already said she's 5'1", then why's she listed as 5'1.5"?
[Editor Rob: to annoy folk...some of these 1/2 inch heights are used for 'tracking' so to speak...] UNK says on 10/Apr/06
actually, she doesn't even say "like 5'1", she says "i'm 5'1". cool, she's not playin cames like the rest of these celebs... she comes right out and says her size...why shouldn't she... i like her. element says on 8/Apr/06

Is there a reason why my comment didn't go through about the magazine where Avril stated she was five feet tall? Leah says on 26/Mar/06
I used to be a big fan. I went to her show once and got an autograph, I was standing in front of her and we were about the same height and I'm like 5'2"
I have however read at many sites that she's 5'3"
One can argue I guess. She has never really said her exact height, all she's really said was that she was short, but that's a bit obvious. Megan says on 9/Mar/06
I saw her in concert and she look maybe 5' foot tall she looks as small as my mom tiny and petite!!! :D says on 3/Mar/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. And my dad too agrees she looks about 5'2..so im gonna give her 5'2. Editor Rob says on 25/Feb/06
Evan Taubenfeld, played with Lavigne did say he was '5ft 8' Serene says on 23/Jan/06

ahh but i get ur pt. 5'5" and 10 is REALLY tall. avril lavigne girl 2006 says on 14/Jan/06
avril i dont care if you are short every body is different this might be freaky for a girl to say but i wish i was 52 instead of 5 5 but you will all ways my favorite singer and my rome model when i grow up i want to follow in your foot steeps i am only 10 years old and i know i want to take after you love ashley emmett! gyllenhaalic823 says on 3/Jan/06
Wicked Kid, my little sister is around 4'11" now, but she was more like 4'9" then. (Obviously Avril is taller lol!) But she was probably around 5'3" in her heels. I believe her to be 5'0-1", even if that sounds really low. Avrilrocksx says on 30/Dec/05
I am 5'8, i went to her concert and stood near her, and she wasn't short. i'd say she was about 5'2" - 5'3" Wicked Kid says on 28/Dec/05
Either natalia or gyllenhaalic823 is witholding the truth. And I choose to believe gyllenhaalic823. How tall is your sister though? natalia says on 27/Dec/05

You don't have to be bone thin... and you can look tall... but yes, it'S true. 2 years ago... more than 2 years ago, in April 2003 I was skinny and 5'5.5'' or something and looked very tall... then in December, on Christmas I weighed about 130 and was 5'6'' and I don't think I looked as tall as I did before. Nowadays I'm 5'9'' but still growing. I sometimes look like I'm just bones buit I have muscles. So does AL. Every singer or actor or actress has to work out to look good... gyllenhaalic823 says on 15/Dec/05
i was just about to comment on that punk'd!! she only looks taller because she is BONE thin! actually i have a siting also
my sister was a diehard fan a few years ago and went to her concert (she went to small-town malls all across the country for free) and my mom and sister told me that she was taller than my sister but shorter than my mom even when avril was in heels (my mom is 5'3.5") Wicked Kid says on 20/Nov/05
I watched the episode where Avril got Punk'd. At first, I was wondering if that was Sarah Michelle Gellar cos she had blonde hair and looked so tiny that I'm willing to bet that she's 5'X the most. Maybe you all should check out that episode again. :0 says on 5/Nov/05
I've seen her, and she is REALLY SHORT.. UNK says on 2/Nov/05
Editor, we need your expert help on this ! Go to this picture set and click each one... they are seriously good quality pics, their footware is right in your face. Problem is sometimes Avril looks much shorter than whibley, sometimes she looks only a little shorter. There must be some knee bending or posture stuff going on with these two.

Oh and by the way.I think your unit converter is wrong. 5'2" is 1.59
[Editor Rob: well, technically it's 157.48cm, but this site stores the heights in inches and displays the cm part as rounding up/down. Hence anything like 157.00 up to 157.49 would just be displayed as 157cm, 157.51 - 157.99 would be rounded up to 158cm.] Mary says on 1/Oct/05

By Jenny Eliscu UNK says on 29/Sep/05
http://www.mtv.com/bands/l/lavigne_avril/news_feature_032204/
"It's not surprising that Avril Lavigne, at just over five feet and barely on the healthy side of 100 pounds, can almost fit into her luggage. What's remarkable is that the large black suitcase she clumsily hoists onto her bed carries all the clothes a 19-year-old girl will wear for the next six weeks. " SuzyStretch says on 3/Sep/05
A friend of mine works in Kelowna at a hotel where she was staying after a performance. The friend said she was extremely short, especially since she wasnt wearing heals. Also, because she was with Derick Whilbey or however u spell it, the friend said he was really short too. Amy says on 21/Aug/05
One of her official sites list her as being 5'1" and actually at some interview of her she had mentioned among others that her fans first meet her say"Oh my God..how short you are"...so that means sth right?I agree,she looks taller but she is not..for sure. TJ says on 16/Aug/05
She is 5'1. In a piece on her that I saw when she was first breaking the charts, the voice over said "Avril is only 5'1..." She's also shorter than 5'2 Lisa Marie Presley. Added to that, she's listed as 5'1 on numerous sites and as "barely five feet" in an article in The Independent from March 2005. No way this girl is 5ft 2.5. The most generous I've seen her listed is 5'2 and that is definitely generous IMO. Christina says on 16/Aug/05
Don't get fooled.Avril is thin and that's whys he looks taller than you think.i've met her a year ago and she had the same height as me.I'm 5'1" but i was wearing shoes that add me 1 inch!So I guess she is 5'2".In cms i'm 1.54 so she must be 1.56 or 1.57!Is that clear enough?
