Jessica Alba Height
Jessica Alba height: 5 ft 6 in (168 cm)

US Actress from Dark Angel and Fantastic Four claimed in a 2002 Q&A session that "I’m 5’6” and a half" although lately she's been trying to claim - as in Dec 2005 - "I'm 5ft 7" but doesn't look it.

5'6" seems about right. She seems like the type of person who would lie about her height. I find her to be incredibly shallow

Tyra seems what, 6 or so inches taller than alba? Tyra is 5'10" and has atleast 2" of footwear over albas boots. consistant if Alba is the 5'6"-5'7" she claims to be.

I have to admit thinking Alba is 5'2" or so is insane. look atpictures of Rachel Bilson or other shorter actresses. they seem a lot smaller than Alba in any picture I have every seen of her
Random guy says on 24/Sep/08
She visted my girlfriend's highschool a couple years ago and was apparently about 5'4 or so
Alex says on 24/Sep/08
5'5.5 is the absolute lowest I could buy for her, She looks a solid 5'6 most of the time.
leonari says on 17/Sep/08
but she ain>'t 5'6 either. so all thats left is 5'5.5" which is her height.
Alex says on 16/Sep/08
She isn't as low as 5'5.
Anonymous says on 11/Sep/08
no one cares (Ron) this is about jessica alba's height and she is 5'5 MAX!!
Ron Alinoel says on 5/Sep/08
In the Philippines, the average height for womenis 5'2 and for men 5'4... im lucky i'm 5'10 and a half!!! and im just 16
Jessie says on 31/Aug/08
I would be surprised if she is anything over 5'2. Really though it's a joke saying 5'7 it just makes her look silly. Its like Nicole Richie saying shes 5'7 its just not reality. p.s- Dianna , don't feel bad the average height in Holland is more like 5'6ish so your not that short. Everywhere alse in the world your average height:P
Dianna says on 20/Aug/08
I live in Holland and the average height for woman here is 5'8. I'm only 5'3.
Anna says on 17/Aug/08
I read in a mag that she's 5'6.5.She looks taller,like about 5'8.
Kim says on 16/Aug/08
I think she's over than 167.
lara says on 9/Aug/08
if you watches The Love Guru and according to this site, mike myers is 170 cm, and in most of the film,jessica alba has heels, and in part which has no shoes on ,she is shorter than mike.
Alex says on 30/Jul/08
Rob, you're right. She does look like shes slightly closer to the camera, but thats just one photo. Like you said its best to go by a series of photos.
Alex says on 27/Jul/08
Rob, what would you say the difference looks in that picture counting the heel difference? I'd say pushing 6 inches so even if Alba had 1/2 to an inch more advantage it could still be 5 inches difference or even a bit more.

[Editor Rob: it could be, it's possible alba is slight nearer. Sometimes if there's a series of photos you get a better idea.]
Alex says on 26/Jul/08
Rob, what do you think about downgrading up upgrading one of the 2 girls because based on that picture there is at least 5 inches minimum between the 2.

[Editor Rob: milano one? I think the heels weren't same size, alba had bit more.]
Anonymous says on 24/Jul/08
right, barbara, and in response to josephines comment below...she is only half mexican-her father's side. her mother is white, of french and danish descent, so she is of mixed descent. and she is at least 5'6.
Barbara says on 22/Jul/08
Josephine, her ethnicity has nothing to do with her height. I have come across tall women who are of Mexican descent. I don't know what the average height is for a person of Mexican descent but let's say for argument sake that it is 5'2". If that is the average then someone has to be taller than 5'2".
Alex says on 14/Jul/08
Rob, this picture was posted a while back I believe. She towers over Alyssa Milano by at least 5-5.5 inches and possibly 6 inches. But I think you said Alba had a bit more heel during that event. And Milano is listed at 5'1.5 on this site and some say shes's as low as 5'0. I would think shes 5'1 putting Alba at 5'6 and likely 5'6 1/2. She is more than 4.5 inches taller than her which is how you have them listed.

Click Here
Alex says on 14/Jul/08
She has claimed 5'6 1/2 too. Now she seems to claim 5'7. She's def in the 5'6-5'6 1/2 range though. Looks more than just 5'5 as some say she is.
Anonymous says on 14/Jul/08
i just watched the movie with scott caan she did the other day-into the blue. she did appear to be around the sAME height as him-he is def no more than 5'5. however, when a male actor is this short, and a female actor is an inch or so taller, they will put lifts in the male's shoes. im assuming that what they did for scott, being that paul walker is over 6'1,, and dwarfed poor scott! jessica is def around 5'6 or a little better. she was only about 2 inches smaller than ashley scott in the movie, who is very tall-around 5'8 or 5;9. she is a true 5'6.
Josephine says on 12/Jul/08
I don't trust magazines when it comes to height. Do they actually measure the star in question? Nope. Jessica Alba didn't actually look taller than Scott Caan in that movie they made, I forget the name. He is 5'5". She is very slender so she looks tall. Also if you look at genetics, she is half Mexican. Now the average height for Mexican women is 5'2" ish...so I doubt she is taller than 5'6" like she says.
Nah says on 11/Jul/08
Yeah, magazines love to say that Angelina Jolie is 5'8" when she herself says that she's 5'7" (although many people believe that she is shorter). Magazines don't always know best.
Realme2008 says on 9/Jul/08
U.S. Weekly is slow obviously. She definitely doesn't look it, and most magazine don't even take height seriously.
Anonymous says on 8/Jul/08
us weekly just listed her at 5'7
Alex says on 30/Jun/08
About Alba's height I think there is a slight chance she could be 5'6 1/2 but I wouldn't go over that. When people sometimes claim such and such height and 1/2 it makes you think they're being more honest because when you lie most of the time you're not going to say X height and 1/2.
Bianca says on 28/Jun/08
what ever her hright, I want to be just as tall cause some people are taller than me. I am 5' 5'' and a half, so I will probably be as tall as her, when I'm her age.
jay says on 18/Jun/08
i respectfully doubt that 6' is taller than 70% of adult men. (asia not included thought xD )

alba didnt look that short next to 6'2" paul walker in Into the blue.. 5ft 6 - 7 sounds right to me.
C. says on 17/Jun/08
Anonymous is a male, not a female. He states at 6' he feels "short" where he resides (Sweden). Although that's not tall there, it isn't short either. Just around average.
Superman says on 13/Jun/08
Anonymous, if you are 16 and 6' tall. As a female that would be very large, as you would be taller than 70% of adult men. Are u kidding???? Are your parents Mr. & Mrs. Sasquach or something? How can you feel short, as a female at 6'?
Although you probably will stop growing, most girls that tall stop growing at around 16 years old. If you keep growing (past 6'3") learn to play basketball or something as that is always an option for giants.
C. says on 7/Jun/08
I think the reason why people find 5'2" short (even for a girl) is because in general, the majority of individuals period will tower you. That's not necessarily the case at 5'8".

And the clip with Jessica and Ellen proves that Ellen is closer to 5'6" than 5'7". Because Jessica Alba doesn't look that tall.
Alex says on 5/Jun/08
If 5'2 is considered short for a girl then 5'8 for a guy would be considered short too which some may agree on. I would say you're getting on the short side but 5'1 for a girl and 5'7 for a guy is when true short starts.

16 at 6'0 and feel kinda short? Sounds kinda impossible.
Realme2008 says on 5/Jun/08
Viper says on 30/May/08
"5-2 isnt tiny. Its only 2 inches under the average."-- Yeah, I know but 5'4" is really petite anyway it's just the average height for woman that's all. Imagine the average height for a male being 5'4" or 5'2" they would be considered tiny, right? Stastictically speaking 5'2" isn't that short for a girl, but yeah it is pretty tiny to me.
Anonymous says on 5/Jun/08
I think 5'6 is just about right for Jessica Alba - she might be able to stretch out to 5'7 but it's hard to tell.

Alex, Viper: I think that if you are a girl and under 5'3 you are considered rather short but that depends on which country you're living in. In Sweden,where I live,I believe that the average height for women is like 5'6-5'7.

I'm 16 years old and at 6' and I consider myself kind of short.
Alex says on 1/Jun/08
I agree. I keep hearing 5'2 is so short or tiny for a girl. Its just 2 inches below average. Very short for girls starts at 5'0 and under or 4'11.

Also tiny I think means a combination or being short and being thin.
Viper says on 30/May/08
5-2 isnt tiny. Its only 2 inches under the average.
V says on 29/May/08
T, I'm your age and 5"9/5"10. I'm tall. 5"2 is tiny.
me says on 11/May/08
Did anyone see Jessica Alba on Ellen recently promoting her new movie. Well If you have, I found that they were really similar in height. Jessica was wearing really flat shoes and Ellen in her usual sneakers and it seemed like Jessica was the exact same height as Ellen, and I know Ellen is listed as 5'7 here. But anyways it made me kinda believe that Jessica could be maybe 5'6 and half or even 5'7. I guess the difference of an inch isn't that much but it just seemed that both Ellen and Jessica were the same height. I will post a video and you can see, maybe someone can explain to me. okay well on a fansite there is the video, Click Here on the first page. When she walks in you can see her height. Maybe it was her hair lol. If I find pix I will try to show ya guys. okay thanks.
Jules says on 11/May/08
She was just on ellen degeneres and in flats and she was clearly taller than ellen.
M says on 4/May/08
T, you are not tall, can say that you are normal. I'm 15 and i'm 5.6in and I'm not tall. so calm down :)
Nah says on 19/Apr/08
T, you're below the average height in the United States, and I have no idea where you live, but you'd definitely be considered tiny over there! Not tall.
Alex says on 14/Apr/08
Alba is skinny but a healthy skinny though.
T says on 9/Apr/08
Im about 5.2in with no heels and think im 2 tall at 15 and don'nt wanna grow no more do u think im tall??
Dunn says on 29/Mar/08
if Jessica Simpson was in the picture with eva mendes and longoria then Jessica Simpson would probably be 2 or 3 inches taller then jessica alba if she wore those huge heels that she usually wears
sweetchari says on 27/Mar/08
Stop adding inches to someone just because they want to be taller. She is five six flat at the very most! She was starting to get too thin before she got pregnant so its good she gained some weight. I never saw her as curvy she just looks like a thin athletically built person. Nothing special about her but she does have a pretty face. She used to have an eating disorder and got down to like 100 pounds. Oddly enough she has been listed as weighing as much as 129 so maybe she is not super skinny as ppl believe. She gained mostly in her lower body since she has been pregnant.
Hey says on 25/Mar/08
Yeah she is really thin. When she in Toronto taping the movie Honey, I saw her in person. She looked 5'5'' and barely 100 pounds. She looked really skinny. Not Nicole Richie thin, but pretty close.
Annabelle says on 23/Mar/08
I met her about a year ago and was really surprised at how skinny she was. Everyone always paints her as this super athletic, healthy, and toned person- and she looks it in movies and photos, but in real life she's just a... stick. I guess that goes to show you how thin all the actresses really are who even look super thin on camera. They're all probably sickly skeletons in real life. I hope she really does get to a healthy weight now that she's pregnant because when I met her, there's no way she was over 110 pounds. Oh, and by the way I think this height is dead on even though she was wearing heals when I met her (2 or 3 inches). I'm 5'8'' and we were eye to eye.
Anonymous says on 6/Mar/08
She looks about from 5'2"-5'4" to me and no she isn't curvy,but still pretty as heck.If you really think,a lot of women are'nt that curvy,even models.
lizzz says on 4/Mar/08
she looks 5'6 and 115.
Alex says on 1/Mar/08
Alba is thin and in great shape but she's not really curvy.
I'd say 5'6 110lbs sounds right for her.

Eva Longoria isn't really curvy. Shes just very petite and thin.
Mendes is more curvy. Biel has a bit more muscle but not that muscular though.
C. says on 29/Feb/08
I don't think anyone has ever thought of her as curvy in the first place. But she'd look better with them. There's nothing particularly appeasing about a stick figure, as there's enough of those in Hollywood.
nah says on 28/Feb/08
Yeah, I just read that Jessica was complaining about how she was called the "sixth grade whore" because of her "big breasts." But she also said on the Tyra Show that before pregnancy, she was a small B cup. I have NO idea what she or her classmates are/were talking about. She's very tiny and isn't what I'd consider to be "curvy."
Rachelle says on 28/Feb/08
Jessica is by no means curvy. . If she was, I wouldn't envy her. She does NOT have an hourglass figure. Yeah, she has a bit of a perky butt, but she is not curvy. I have an hourglass figure and wish I looked like Alba, more svelte. She doesn't really have curvy hips, more staight. Her waist and hips seems to be the same width, her waist could be a tiny bit smaller, but she is not curvy as she claims to be. Curves and hourglass figures are overrated. She's got perfect looks, I wish she'd stop complaining.
DKCali says on 26/Feb/08
Seriously Guys

I used to work at Sports Club LA, where I would see Alba,
let me tell you we all thought she was a hottie, when we first heard she was in the building we were excited to see this quote & quote tall curvy latina, To our sad surpise we saw a super thin- no shape- i mean anorexic slim-plain body, Pretty Face but my god that girl had to has been like 110 and defit between 5'5-5'6 1/2 maayyyybe 5'7.

Im glad the girl is pregnant , the eating and gaining weight will help her.

Eve Mendez, Longoria and Biel defit have more curves and athletic bodies.

As a trainer - I just wanted to feed Alba, get her off the treadmill and tell her to do some squats.... poor girl.

; )

My best friend went to High School with her " Bonita HIgh" in La Verne, where her family lives-still i think, and apperantly she was a nice kid.
Little bit snobby about being half Mexican- supposedly she used to rant on on how she didnt consider herself Latina or Mexican because she didnt even speak spanish or anything. Lol so funny now... she is on the covers of a bunch of Latina- Magazines... I guess the latin thing works to her advanatge now since it's trendy now lol
C. says on 25/Feb/08
She looks taller than 5'5". And she does not weigh 110 lbs.
me says on 24/Feb/08
jessica alba is my good friend and she is 5'5-all celebs say they are taller.but she has peferct physical portions and she weighs 110 lbs
Alex says on 14/Feb/08
Glenn, yea I can believe that since she was much younger.
nah says on 14/Feb/08
What did you hear in the early '90's, Glenn?
glenn says on 14/Feb/08
she might be nice now.but thats not what i heard in the early 90s.
Alex says on 13/Feb/08
Glenn, really? She always came across nice to me in those interviews I've seen. Also some fans have told me before that have met her. But like with many celebs their attitude can change by the day.
Alex says on 13/Feb/08
Leung, I kinda thought Alba was more of an ectomorph but I was probably wrong. You're right if she does not workout she can get more soft. A true ectomorph is like Paris Hilton.
Yea Biel is def a mesomorph but she't in between thin and thick too.

I think I am mostly mesomorph as I can get into muscular shape kinda fast. When I was younger I was more ectomorph with some meso at the same time.
Alex says on 11/Feb/08
Alba isn't a bad actor. I just prefer the other 2 over her in looks and acting.
Leung says on 11/Feb/08
Alex, Alba is not a naturally thin person, she has to really work hard and watch her diet because her body type is slightly endomorph, she looks in between mesomorph and endomorph which means that if she exercises hard and diets then she can look good but when she stops exercising she can easily put on weight and start looking a little soft, not fat but just a bit padded if you know what I mean.

Biel on the other hand is very much a mesomorph body type, it’s easier for her keep her shape the way it is and to keep her weight consistently the same. Having mesomorph body type also means that Biel can get into athletic shape quicker than other body types, prime example is Biel in Blade Trinity.
glenn says on 11/Feb/08
alyssa was known to be not nice actually.maybe she changed.
C. says on 11/Feb/08
@ brapp/mooie : Not where I live or other places I've lived. 5'5" is pretty much average in the U.S. 5'6" can also be quite average too. Either way, it's not tall by any means (I'm a tall girl, I should know). It's not short either, but nonetheless borderline average/above average territory.

Milano > Biel > Alba. Personally, Alba can't act to save her life. Goodness.
Alex says on 11/Feb/08
Both are in good shape but Biel is average body frame with some muscle while Alba is more thin with a bit of muscle. Most people tend to favor Alba though.

Glenn, I hear Alyssa Milano is pretty nice in person.
glenn says on 10/Feb/08
biel is way hotter and was way nicer.i heard biel is foul now too.
brapp/mooie says on 10/Feb/08
nooooo C.!! the world average for women is still 5'4"!! if you average the height of women of all the countries with the info available it still comes out as 5'4"

And it still is in England, but in the late teen - mid twenties age range its 5'5 but in other adult ages its more like 5'3" and thats recent info and the average it still 5'4" =]
Alex says on 10/Feb/08
C, my personal favorite is probably Alyssa Milano. I love that woman. Biel is 2nd based on just actresses.
C. says on 9/Feb/08
I also like Biel more than Alba. She's always struck me as the snobby and stuck-up kind, and now I know it to be true. Women can always confuse people with heels and those trendy ugg boots. But she truly doesn't look more than 5'6". Eva looks 5'5" even (especially her page), but she could be shorter. However, it's not going to take that much for a 5'5" woman to look taller than a 5'6" woman in heels now would it? No.

brapp/mooie says on 2/Feb/08
why does everyone say 5'6" is average height??? its 2 INCHES ABOVE AVERAGE!! but if someones 2 inches BELOW average theyre describes s tiny!!!

Because it is quite average. Women have gotten taller too, you know. 5'5" is more so the average than 5'4". So 5'6" would only be an inch taller. If you're two inches below, you are quite tiny. 5'2" was never the average to begin with.
anonamous says on 8/Feb/08
omg! i luv luv luv her. i really want to see "the eye". sooooooooooooooooo bad.
shes not that short . only 2 inches shorter than me. i ges im really tall
Alex says on 6/Feb/08
Rachelle, she does sound like a b*tch kinda from that, but thats only one situation. I'd wonder if she is like that more often.
Alex says on 6/Feb/08
I personally like Jessica Biel more than Jessica Alba, but thats me. I am sure plenty of others would argue that.

Mendes as low as 5'4, maybe. 5'5 would be my exact guess probably. She was taller than Alba in that shot but obviously must have had bigger footwear.

you can also ask me why i didnt go meet alba.rachelle knows.wish i could see the pics.usually i can.it keeps freezing on me with my smartphone.
Rachelle says on 2/Feb/08
Jen - I am 5'6"

Nah - as I said in a previous post, I was going to ask her for a picture, but somewhere in my mind I knew it wasn't going to happen, word on the street is that she is a c*unt, exact words from people I know who've met her. Anyways, I had never seen her before so I was kind of in awe when I saw her so I froze...I didn't say anything. But the guy next to me in the pics was asking her for a picture for me and she used the lame @ss excuse, " I'm on the phone! " And he was like, Oh, come on, that's the oldest trick in the book (which it is, ask Glenn), and then she started laughing, because she knew it was true. Celebs pull that trick when they don't want people coming up to them, so they pretend their on the phone. He also asked her for an autograph as well, but just kept going on her way.
nah says on 2/Feb/08
Nice pictures, Rachelle. Did she ever say anything to you?

I never believed the 5'7" claims from her. It's weird that she'd want to lie about her height. Hitting somewhere around the 5'6" is just fine.
ana says on 1/Feb/08
Jessica is definately bending back a bit in the picture with Mendez and Longoria, but I still say she is 5'5". The slight bend can only knock off a couple of inches. 5'5" is a good height and she is also very slim and has a long torso...that makes her look longer. I have never seen her in person, but she has never struck me as tall or med/tall. Just average.
Rachelle says on 1/Feb/08
5'6.25" could be a slight possibility, but Her hair was poofy when I was up to her, but I think Rob has her about right.
nah says on 1/Feb/08
How tall would you say she was, Rachelle?
Rachelle says on 31/Jan/08
I saw her a few different times the other day, I got right up to her. I got into some paparazzi shots, and am waiting for this guy to send me them. I had never seen Alba before, so when I saw her I stopped and I was just in shock, lol. She really is a stunning beauty. I was kinda surprised at how average height she is. She is about my height, maybe a tad bit taller. We both had UGGS on. She doesn’t look short or tall, just average.

i've also seen the picture.. jessica is blending and wearing snickers.. eva mendes is wearing heels and so is eva longoria.. that explains it..

RE: Croat girl says on 26/Jan/08
I think Alba is 168cm, thats slightly over 5'6", 169 tops. I am 167-168 and she looks about 2 cm taller than me.
this pic is totally confusing to me with Eva Mendes and Eva Longoria, Click Here
Eighter Mendez wears huge heels and jessica flats, or jessica is no more than 5'5"

I have seen this picture uncropped and Jessica Alba is actually bending for the photo so she can be at the same height as Eva Longoria.

Jessica's exact height as per her agency is 5'6&1/4" so 5'6" pretty much. No need to debate about it.
glenn says on 28/Jan/08
mendes is indeed around 5-4.rumored to be 5-6.
nah says on 28/Jan/08
And a 5'5" person next to someone who claims to be 5'6.6" wouldn't make her look "huge" at all. That's absolutely ridiculous. An inch and a half isn't going to make her look as though she's some giant.
nah says on 28/Jan/08
Whoever said that must be lying, Rachelle. Because Alba has taken plenty of pictures with people way shorter than her, and she also said this (exact quote): “I have curves, but I don’t really like them. I wish I was skinnier and taller.”
Croat girl says on 27/Jan/08
rachelle, thats not true, no way, because I remember that Alba said she would like to be taller like models, she maybe dont want to take pics with someon 5'5" because she is also 5'5" or something.
Rachelle says on 27/Jan/08
I also just read on a website that someone who encountered Alba, asked her for a picture with her, and she said that Alba said no and that she doesn’t take pictures with anyone under 5’5” because it make her look huge.

I don’t know about the veracity of her story, but I don’t know why someone would make that up, kinda random. Lol
Rachelle says on 27/Jan/08
OK, I just realized 5'3.5" seems to low. I'm going with slighty under 5'4"
Rachelle says on 27/Jan/08
Mendes is not 5’5” or 5‘6”, more like 5’4”…and maybe slightly a tiny hair under. I saw her in heels and was standing right in front on me, she could NOT have been more than 5’7.75” 5’8” in her heels.

Click Here

She is not even taller than 5’8” Mark Wahlberg in her 4 inch heels, but he’s probably around 5’9” in that picture because of his footwear. I was there, I should know.
Alex says on 26/Jan/08
Interesting picture because Mendes is 5'5-5'6 and she looks much taller than Alba. Possibly shes in big heelswhile Alba is in sneakers or something. Also Longoria is 5'0.
Croat girl says on 26/Jan/08

5'6 ? seems for right for her

i dont get why she was downgraded to 5'6. i'm 5'6.5 and she seems the same height as me. i say i'm 5'7 because all my friends who are 5'5.5 say they are 5'6, and it makes up for the height everyone adds on
Alex says on 11/Jan/08
I like Jessica Biel better than Alba, thats just my opinion.
Linds says on 6/Jan/08
To the pictures with brittany murphy: I have several pictures with my 5"2" sister from homecomming when shes in about 3 inch heels. I was in ballet flats and our height differnce was about the same. (Like i said before im between 5'5 3/4" and 5'6"

and i get the "lean" thing it makes sense. I think she looks even taller than 5"6" sometimes
nah says on 3/Jan/08
Rachelle, that was Jessica's high school. She moved a lot before then. She didn't go to El Roble when she was in middle school.
C. says on 3/Jan/08
Alba also wears heels/boots, but Britney Murphy really is short. But Jessica looks 5'6" at the most.

@ Linds: She's lean-- 5'6" can look even taller with her proportions, heels, and the right camera angles.
anonymous says on 2/Jan/08
the only way to explain the pic below is that brittany had heels and jessica flats or she's bending. maybe brittany is not that short

highest heels could 10cm right????be logical
Rachelle says on 31/Dec/07
Umm, according this to website, Jessica went to El Roble Intermediate School
Click Here

I think she is what she first claimed, 5'6.5"
Viper says on 31/Dec/07
Oh man, I wish I went to high school with Alba.
Linds says on 30/Dec/07
anything under 5"6" is crazzyyy! im near 5"6" myself and in far away pictures she doesnt look any shorter than I do. Height is so hard to judge i have MANY pictures with my 5"2" sister and we look near the same height where neitehr of us appear to be bending at all. its strange.
previous classmate says on 30/Dec/07
Jessica and I went to the same junior high school, Ramon Middle School in Pomona, and I had seen her from almost up close and at a distance before I found out that she was a model when we were both 13 years old. I am now between 5'7.25' very late at night and and 5'8.25' after a very good rest in the morning. Jessica Alba was the same height as me back then and I think we were both past our growing years. We are both 26 years old now. I was slightly under 5'7' then and I think she is at least 5'6.5' and not taller than 5'7' depending on how she is measured.. I wish I had her slim skeletal frame though. I am much more hard boned and filled out than she is, which sucks, but people tell me I am pretty too.
Alex says on 11/Dec/07
I don't think 5'7 but she is closer to 5'7 than 5'4 though. 5'6 is most accurate for her.
Realme2007 says on 10/Dec/07
Really just think she's 5'5 1/2, and maybe 5'6" on a good day.
C. says on 9/Dec/07
It's the heels in combination with her frame. Nontheless, she's never looked 5'7" to me.
Alex says on 8/Dec/07
C, she can look as tall as 5'7 sometimes because of her build I'd say but most likely is just 5'6.
C. says on 7/Dec/07
Hmmm. Her height doesn't perplex me. She obviously looks slightly above average height for a woman, but no way is she 5'7". Heck, she may not even be 5'6". She quite thin, but she doesn't look all that tall. Her heels (and Dark Angel/superhero gear) make her appear if she could pass for 5'7" but having been that height once as an adolescent, I clearly can tell that's not her height. Both her and Hale Berry have similar body types, so I guess they think they can get off with pulling the 5'7" card because they are thin, but they apparently can't convince most people of this. After all, Alba's height here has been stated from 5'4" to 5'6"+. She can't possibly be 5'7".
Lila says on 7/Dec/07
Her height really perplexes. She's a difficult one. In one photo, she's taller than (168cm)Beyonce and (168cm)Terri Hatcher but is then the same height as 5'7 Wilmer Valderrama with massive heels on. Confusing much?
C. says on 2/Dec/07
Personally, I find her looks overrated (as well as her acting, or lack thereof). She's 5'5" at the minimum and no more than 5'6" max. Seriously, who is she trying to fool?
5\\\' 10\\ says on 23/Nov/07
I saw at our airport in The Bahamas and she looked 5'5" to me. I'm 5'10" in case you all are wondering.
Mimi says on 15/Nov/07
She was on TRL with Alicia Keys...they had similar heels on and they looked pretty much the same height. So whatever Alicia measures, that's alba's height as well.
Alex says on 14/Nov/07
Lowest for Alba is 5'5.5 and highest is 5'6.5.
sweetchari says on 5/Nov/07
I think 5ft6 is her true height and recently she lost weight it looks like, she is really skinny now so perhaps she could get away with looking 5ft7in but she is not...
Ness says on 23/Oct/07
The lowest it could be is 5'4, but no more than 5'7.
mesh says on 17/Oct/07
she look 168 though, but i never see her in movies where she show her leg, so i dont realy know??

cos 165 cm, even make sense??
Alex says on 16/Oct/07
Alba is 5'6 and Paul Walker is 6'1.
Lina says on 12/Oct/07
here she is with cameroon Diaz. and they look the same height but jess was vering huge heels
nah says on 10/Oct/07
Here are more of Jessica with Dane Cook - obviously a height difference.

1. Click Here
2. Click Here

I don't see the big debate over her height - she told Rolling Stone and a lot of other reporters during fan sessions that she was 5'6.5", and then suddenly decided to up herself half an inch (not that big of a deal, really) while saying she "wishes she were taller." I think it's obvious that she's somewhere in the 5'6-5.6.5" range - no shorter, no taller.
Realme2007 says on 9/Oct/07
Jessica Alba next to supposedly 5'11" or 6ft Dane Cook. He is slouching a bit, but this picture is still very cofusing. They almost look the same height. She must have on some giant heels. Here is the picture: Click Here
Viper says on 5/Oct/07
Yeah, shes the cream of the crop.
cluedin says on 4/Oct/07
great pic, but too hard to tell with sand involved. Ashley Scott is listed at 5'7.5 and comments have her even taller. Obviously she's leaning in but still, she doesn't dwarf Caan like she should
carla says on 4/Oct/07
Yeah, seems OK. Wow! perfct height, perfect looks...! Every guy in my class loves her.
Anonymous says on 3/Oct/07
she does look about an inch to an inch and a half bigger than caan, making her in the 5'6-5'6.5 mark like she says. looks it enough. holds her own next to giant walker. lol.
dmeyer says on 1/Oct/07
paul waker didnt lok the 6'2 plus he looks usaly in into the vlue looked closer to 6 ft maybe 6'1 in some scene caan looks only 5 in shorter
Viper says on 1/Oct/07
That makes Paul Walker 6-0 at best as well.
Rachelle says on 30/Sep/07
Okay, I’m sure the guys will enjoy this pic: Click Here here she is with Scott Caan, which I am assuming they are all barefoot, but not sure on the ground level.
nah says on 26/Sep/07
... And that is a perfect example of why I don't believe people about meeting a celebrity on this website unless they have a picture or it's Glenn and/or Rob telling the story, haha.

Well, I was rereading Jessica's 2005 Rolling Stone article, and they ask the celebrity for their height. Here is what they said, I just thought it may be of interest to some of you:

"She is five feet six and a half, 34-25-34, and weighs 120 pounds, depending upon her training schedule."
misst says on 26/Sep/07
my best friend JUST met her on a set and jessica was barefoot.. my best friend is about 5'5.5 and she said jessica was a bit taller than her, about the exact same height as me.. and i'm 5'6.5.. so there you go lol
JK says on 26/Sep/07
I think she is 5'5''
Viper says on 26/Sep/07
The absolute lowest you can go on Alba is 5-5.
Dunken says on 25/Sep/07
the lenghts people go just to make someone shorter...
lara says on 25/Sep/07
my uncle is her producer ,it was an private photo ,they told me not to send them on internet anyway,i'm so sorry.but be sure about what i said because i asked my uncle aswel and he said its true.because of effect and this stuff she looks taller.

[Editor Rob: You're from Tehran. The only Jessica you've seen is Jessica Rabbit.]
Mimi says on 24/Sep/07
Lara, would you post your pic? If you're worried about privacy, maybe you can blur your face out?
lara says on 23/Sep/07
i saw her one week ago and i took a picture with her,i'm 5`4 with flat shoes, and we were the same.she was with flat shoes as well. be sure you guyz its true.i always thought she is taller than me but she is not.
KT says on 22/Sep/07
5'5-5'5 1/2.

Click Here
Mimi says on 20/Sep/07
One of the bloggers I read daily saw her last night at the Good Luck, Chuck premiere and took a picture with her. When I asked him, he responded that she seemed 5'7"-5'8" max IN heels.
KT says on 19/Sep/07
Really Kiki? Can you give some more details? Like..where you saw her, how close you got to her?..etc etc

I do believe she's under the 5'6 mark, but 5'4 is a too low for her.
kiki says on 18/Sep/07
i sow her 5 days ago, she is 5`4`` but in pictures they always make them look taller
nah says on 2/Sep/07
She's, at the most, 5'6.6" like she once stated. I don't believe she's 5'7".
Anonymous says on 1/Sep/07
She's really tall. Like 5'7 probabaly, ont he teen choice awards she looked so tall compared to zac and i know she was wearing hells but she looked a lot taller.

:/
cluedin says on 1/Sep/07
i agree with KT. plus the camera angle seems to favor her slightly. but always so hard to tell when walking
KT says on 31/Aug/07
I think your overestimating the amount of height his sneakers give. I seriously doubt their even giving him an inch.

I understand he has his arm around her shoulder, but he's got his head straight down in pic #2 and they look the same height. I honestly think their similar height, with her maybe being slightly taller.
talker says on 30/Aug/07
Alba looks taller than Caan in the pics,the guy is litteraly hanging from her neck,plus the shoes vs sandsals,i think she looks 1.5" taller than the guy.
Leung says on 29/Aug/07
Interesting pictures, but I think Alba is not standing fully upright because Scott Caan’s arm is wrapped around her shoulder. If you have watched Into the Blue you will see that Alba is clearly taller than Scott Caan. I haven’t seen anything to suggest that Alba is anything under 5’6”.
Maya says on 29/Aug/07
Yup, it is hard to say when people are photographed walking. But she does look around 5'6", if he's really 5'5".
yup says on 29/Aug/07
Here are some very HQ pictures that I think you guys may love. She's in the flattest sandals you can find, and she's sanding next to Scott Caan, who was said to be 5'5" on this website. What do you guys think? Just click on the link that says "Proceed to this site" to get to the pictures.

Leung says on 29/Aug/07
yup, yes that's very true, I read that as well.
Leung says on 28/Aug/07
Viper, I originally thought that she had good genetics and therefore had a great body naturally without exercise, but I read interviews and it is not the case at all, she admits that she must eat sensibly and exercise very regularly otherwise her weight increases very quickly. There is nothing wrong with that, it’s a good thing because it shows that she is very motivated in keeping herself fit and healthy.
yup says on 28/Aug/07
Alba has said that as a kid, she was a lot chubbier and that a lot of her family is VERY overweight and that she had to start cooking for herself after she turned 12.
Anonymous says on 28/Aug/07
Alba always seemed quite generic to me. most Hollywood actresses do.

i like Love Hewitt, great proportions, Lacey Chabert is cute as well, Eva Mendes has that "latino heat" thing going on, the small girl from Heroes is cute as well, not many more.

Biel went overboard with the muscles, Scarlett Johansson (sic) is meh, etc. singers, oh man, what's her name? Amy House, or something like that. everyone is going gaga for her, i saw a pic, she looks like a dude.

and trust me, my standarts are not that high.
Viper says on 28/Aug/07
Alba is more of a model than actress actually. Shes got model looks. And I think she's one of those who would be skinny regardless of what she ate. Shes got a small frame. I like her more than Lima actually. Though Lima is the cream of the crop as well.
Rachelle says on 28/Aug/07
Adriana is sexy and has beautiful eyes, but I'd rather look like Jessica Alba. Adriana may have the better height, but Jessica is soo natural and besides having a nice body, she has a flawless face.Jessica has the perfect bone structure.
Leung says on 27/Aug/07
Yup, that’s an unfair comparison. Alba is a popular Hollywood actress that is pretty, while Adriana Lima is 5’10” of pure hotness.

Alba has very normal genetics, if she didn’t exercise 4 times a week and follow a strict diet then her weight will easily increase just like a lot of regular people. Most people don’t realise that her good figure is the result of a lot of hard work in the gym and being very disciplined with her diet.

On the other hand, walking up and down the catwalk is probably the most strenuous activity Lima will ever do. Adriana Lima is a genetically hot.

That being said, I totally agree that Jessica Alba is no match for someone like Adriana Lima in terms of hotness.
yup says on 26/Aug/07
Yeah, Alba isn't the best looking girl on the planet, or even in just Hollywood. She's pretty, but girls like Adriana Lima are way better. She's not perfect at all. I'm not picking on her in ANY way, just agreeing with one of the posters below.
anonymous says on 23/Aug/07
Look at pictures of Alba with Dane Cook Click Here she is wearing what looks like flats with maybe 0.25' heel and he is 6' with 1' heels beased on Click Here there is 4.5 difference between them so her height is about right on this site. She may be a 0.5" taller but no more than that.
anonymous says on 23/Aug/07
talker post a pictures showing their shoes because they can be wearing different heels on and there you go...they may the exaclty the same height! Cluedin, post a link to the pic!
cluedin says on 21/Aug/07
beyonce has on flats in those pics and teri is barefoot (getting pedicure apparently), for what it's worth. couldn't see alba's footwear.
talker says on 20/Aug/07
Alba is taller than 5'6"Beyonce(look below) and taller than 5'6" Teri Hutcher.

Kim says on 16/Aug/07
I'm a shorter person myself, and I know that when people are taller than me they never SEEM that much taller to me (unless it's like 8" or more so really obvious) but are actually a few inches or so taller, but people who may only be an inch or two shorter than me seem a lot shorter than that to me. People never seem that much taller when it's just a few inches, but it's always more noticeable when they're shorter than you.
Alex says on 13/Aug/07
I agree. Shortest Alba could be is 5'5.5. Most likely she's a 5'6 girl.
Dunken says on 9/Aug/07
please stop. anything below 5'5.5" for this girl is insanity and bull, at the same time.
talker says on 9/Aug/07
Alba is listed here 5'6.25" and so is Beyonce but go to this link and see that
Alba is clearly taller than Beyonce.

SomeoneStarry says on 8/Aug/07
I met her in person more than once. I'm 5'2"...both usually in flats and she seemed my height, if not an inch taller. I really think she's 5'3"-5'4". Maybe with heels she'd be 5'7" haha!
Viper says on 7/Aug/07
5-3 looks to be impossible.
Dunken says on 7/Aug/07
5'4 is impossible for her.
anna says on 6/Aug/07
Jessica Alba's real height might be 5'3" or 5'4" at most. If you can't believe it, go check yahoo tv the 9 and click the videp clip 'alba cook' there she stands right next to Dane Cook(5'11"~6') and Maria Sansone(5'1") Let's say that she wore flat shoes on the day(no high heels) but still she looks 5'4" at most. check out at Click Here;_ylt=Ainon0e3apO23nPkWq5C5VwAZ88F
thekiddd says on 1/Aug/07
She claimed 5'6 1/2" but people will respond to her by saying " Oh so your 5'6"? But they will forget to add the half inch. So probably thought to herself " Well they are saying I am an half an inch shorter than I am so I will just say 5'7". Allthough 5'6" looks pretty much it.
Rachelle says on 1/Aug/07
If you look at her other pictures, her sandals give her a little bit of height. Click Here

I haven't seen her in person, but I have met Cash. So I compared my height from him and me in my head, and I think she MAY be what she claims, 5'6.5"

And that is my post below, don't know what my name didn't show up.
Anonymous says on 1/Aug/07
Here is another pic of her next to the car: Click Here

She looks like she can be 5'7" in this pic, but you can never really tell with pictures, and she is also getting really skinny, which might make her look taller. Ugh, I hate this chick!
Click Here
Alex says on 1/Aug/07
Arr, why the hell was I thinking you were saying that guy next to Alba was 4'11. But still with the car at 4'11 she comes closer to 5'7 though.
Glenn says on 1/Aug/07
Rachelle-email me your # again.my phone broke and I lost contacts.celebink@yahoo.com.thanks.
Variant says on 31/Jul/07
Some quick Gimp math puts her at around 5'6 - 5'7 with the car 58.71 inches. Obviously a lot of factors in the pic including her tilted head...
Alex says on 31/Jul/07
Ok so the guy is 4'11 and in footwear looks to be about 5'0.5 with his those boots on and Alba is in flip flops and still towers over him. Weird that she looks over closer to 5'7 there.
Rachelle says on 31/Jul/07
Whoops, 58.71 inches is what I meant to write.
Rachelle says on 30/Jul/07
Jessica standing next to her Toyota Prius which is measured at 58.7 inches. Opinions?

Alex says on 27/Jul/07
I think she's bang on 5'6 flat.
Angela says on 26/Jul/07
Hey Variant, those pics with the huge shoes... (and what's his name is 5'11) makes me conviced she cannot be taller than 5'6 max.
Variant says on 23/Jul/07

A couple good comparison shots. Jess looks around 5'9-5'10 here in some pretty big heels? What's-his-name maybe wearing 1 inch shoes or so.

Jess's legs = yum. :)
Alex says on 20/Jul/07
Rachelle, there are more than a couple of celebrities who are hotter than Alba. She's hot but not the hottest.
julie says on 20/Jul/07
its really good to hear that even the most gorgeous people in the world are tall. i come from hawaii and everyone is short. they are like 5'0" to 5'5" not many people are tall. but im 5'6" and jessica alba's height gives me more confidence in myself [:
Rachelle says on 17/Jul/07
If Jessica really is 5'7, I offically hate her. This isn't fair. Perfect face, skin, body, and height! There is no other girl more perfect than her!
cec says on 9/Jul/07
Is she that tall? I thought that she was tiny. Well, it's not very tall though.
leonari says on 2/Jul/07
5'5"-amazing body,even better proprtions.
Alex says on 2/Jul/07
Actually in those pictures with him and Alba they look the same height or he may be 1/2 inch taller. She isn't over 5'6 and at the lowest would be 5'5.5. He has said he was 5'6 himself so that puts her at 5'5.5-5'6.
Alex says on 29/Jun/07
We need to know how tall Michael Chiklis is first. He's 5'6-5'7 and was only a little taller than Alba. I'd put him at 5'7 and her at 5'6
Leung says on 28/Jun/07
she wore normal high heels at the Logies, not crazy platforms. My opinion is that Alba is 5'6.5", just as she states.
Mimi says on 28/Jun/07
Leung, wasn't she wearing huge platforms at the Logies? Those give you crazy height. As a girl, I can tell you that regular platforms (not the massive Spice Girls kind) will give you anywhere from 3.5 to 4 in. in height.
