Kate is really 5'5. And there's another "SHORT" fashion model out there by the name of Jamie Rishar at 5'5! I'm sooooo tired of hearing the BS about not accepting short models in fashion when these 2 are accepted. Others say it's not the norm and all about the clothes. Hello? They can't adjust the clothing just for these 2 shorties!! You see as kelsey said, it's not about height at all!! Stop the lies that fashion models MUST be 5'11!

"Kate says on 23/Jun/07
I'm 5'6. End of."

Was that really THE Kate or just someone playing smart?!
IMGmodL said on 23/Aug/07
i still find it humorous that IMG lists Kate as 5'8'' when everyone knows that she is 5'6''
kelsey said on 17/Aug/07
why does everyone doubt that kate could be short? designers don't care how short she is, she has a gorgeous face and is kate moss for crying out loud!
Felix said on 8/Aug/07
This is a weird case in most of the celebrity heights I completly agree but I cant figure out Kate. Personally with the picture I would believe Glenn because he is leaning so she defintly is not 5 foot 8 or even 5 foot 7. Although like Joana how did she go into runways being so short since normaly they want like 5 foot 10 or 11. Do you remember by any chance the size of heels she had on I know it was a while back.
joana said on 7/Aug/07
everyone comments on how kate moss changed common standards and although 5'7'' is already considered too short, i believe she is 5'6''. no-one lower than that stands a change in the runway, of course. but you can model in different areas of fashion. face-modelling, catalogue-modelling, etc.
Flower said on 11/Jul/07
5,6 and that's good. But on tv she said 5,7 and said she was short... maybe she meant shorter than 5,7...

5'5 and shockingly skeg head pete is fairly tall at 6'. My dad saw them and said they looked a right state! Both very thin, spotty with lank hair so there is hope for us all!!!!
Nat said on 23/Jun/07
she looks lanky, I dont think shes any shorter than 5.5
Austrian said on 23/Jun/07
u look so different in this pic Glenn lol
Kate said on 23/Jun/07
I'm 5'6. End of.
KylieBaby said on 22/Jun/07
hell no...there's no way she's under 5'7. she's known as the shortest model, but no way they'd hire her if she were under said 5'7..i was a model too, but i'm only 5'5 so i had to quit when i was 18, theyre pretty strict about that.
Flower said on 31/May/07
She could be shorter indeed. But who knows. Maybe the other supermodels are shorter too. What about Lily Cole? And Cindy Crawford?
georgia said on 30/May/07
Ive seen her say she is 5 ft 7 on an interview but ive heard alot of people say she is 5 ft 6 but i think sheopens the door for alot of girls who are shorter than most successful models and i think she is gorgeous and unusual and something differet because she is small she stands out and is more successful than all the other taller models so i think you can be shorter and still as successful x
Anonymous said on 21/May/07
a tv programme said she is the shortest of all the models at 5.6.5
val said on 19/May/07
not to fond of the whole waif look that everyone seems to love but she is pretty. i heard she's five foot six and ive also heard she's five foot seven but not over that.
Nikki said on 16/May/07
at celebrity-gossip.net: “I’m just a normal girl too,” she’s quoted as saying. “I’m no different. I may be a little bit taller, but that’s it.
UNK said on 30/Apr/07
WOW, didn't notice you dropped her down a .25" Rob... big news. I think it's supported with evidence.
UNK said on 30/Apr/07
I have never seen a bad picture of Moss.

E True Hollywood story called her 5'7". I remember clearly because my wife believed it. I kept trying to tell her she is more 5'5", but when she asked how I knew, I backed off... don't want her thinking I am obsessed with Moss, LOL.
Alex said on 30/Apr/07
Viper, I agree she does look good there. I am into thin girls and medium framed girls and even sometimes a bit on the thick side. With these thin and skinny girls they get called too skinny by girls who are overweight themselves and are just jealous they can't get leaner.
If she in heels with Glenn? If not I could see her at about 5'6.
anonymous said on 28/Apr/07
it said in her E true hollywood story that she was 5'5 but judging from pictures next to 5'4 lindsay lohan she looks like same height. probably 5'4.5-5'5.
maria said on 28/Apr/07
Kate moss is 5'5 or 5'6 but supermodel Tyra Banks has said shes 5'6 but they claim she's 5'7-5'8 when she wears high heels, but in the picture seeing her next to 5'8 Glenn and if Kate is wearing high heels in the picture then, I think shes naturally 5'5.
Viper said on 24/Apr/07
She looks really good there. Sometimes she looks too skinny.
Anonymous said on 24/Apr/07
Kate is 5'5", no more than that. I'm a model myself and her agent told me so.
TheJerk said on 22/Apr/07
I love the picture Glenn. Did you at any point in time say "Mam, I got a package for you."?
Anonymous said on 8/Apr/07
when she appeared on little britain for comic relief she was standing next to a 5'6.5 (?) matt lucas. Given they were both wearing the same trainers with about 1/2 inch platform, Matt was still at least 1/2 inch taller than kate so therefore 5'6 would make sense
traladada said on 5/Apr/07
I agree with 5'6", maybe 5'6.5". I just watched her ths on e!, and there they say she's 5'7", but pictures say enough. Maybe it's because i'm dutch and used to tall people, but I just find it really hard to believe that she would be under 5'6".
Tessa said on 25/Mar/07
I saw her in a shop in St Johns Wood a couple of years ago, and I'm sure she's about 5'6 - I'm 5'8.5 and she wasn't THAT much shorter than me. She was wearing flat shoes and so was I.
dmeyer said on 16/Mar/07
a friend of mine who is her personal photographer tell me she is 172 but he says gisele is 182
Cesare said on 8/Mar/07
I have seen her, few years ago in a party, I'm 5'7 and she can't possibly be not even 5'6, no no no! It freaked me out, so I remember it well!
Robyn said on 7/Mar/07
She has to be wearing heels.. 2-3 inches at least.. for models it's one of those things, ya know? And for short ones, it's prolly taboo not to be out in about in 3inches. She always looks about 5'5" pushing 5'6"
Julia said on 1/Mar/07
Yeah, i've seen them once to, they are really good and professional. Kate wasnt there tho.
jason said on 1/Mar/07
i dont agree with the picture, many people here might think she loocks short in that pic, i dont. she locks the same height as glenn maby slightley shorter, i dont know about the footwear but i asume she hade her heels on. but anyway i cant see her as being shorter then 5`5 no way. 5`6 suites her fine, thats pretty short for a modell anyway, pretty avarage.
Evanna said on 28/Feb/07
It depends on what you think is skinny. I agree that nowadays she doesn't look as anorexic as she did in the early 1990s, while she was dating Johnny Depp. I guess she didn't weight more than 7 stone back then. But even today, she looks rather skinny, because she has a delicate bone structure. She was dressed casually, nothing glamurous. I guess that must have been a designer's top on her, but I am absolutely clueless when it comes to fashion, so I can't tell if that was CK or D&G or whatever. I buy my clothes at Primark.
For me and my husband the biggest surprise of the night wasn't Kate's height, or Kate rockin' the mic, but the fact that the band Babyshambles is actually quite good. We've never been fans of The Libertines, and we went to the concert out of pure curiosity, not expecting much. But the band is totally professional, and Pete is very charismatic.
Julia said on 26/Feb/07
Evanna: Wierd, cuz some people that have seen her says she's not really that skinny as everybody says.
What did she wear?
Evanna said on 25/Feb/07
Yes, very skinny and fragile, and definitely not the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Julia said on 25/Feb/07
Evanna: Is she really that skinny in real life?
Evanna said on 20/Feb/07
I saw her here in Manchester at Babyshambles concert. Nobody expected she would turn up, but she did, even got on the stage with her junkie dear. She looked absurdly tiny for a supermodel, 5'6" MAX, more likely 5'5". Next to Doherty who is very tall, almost 6'3", she looked like a Bratz doll.
Jewel said on 18/Feb/07
I believe she is 5 6'' her True Hollywood story described her as 5 6'' and when your a model you usually lie 1-2 inches about your height...so if she says shes 5 8'' most likely she isnt
Leslie said on 15/Feb/07
I met her at a bookstore in Orange County. She is slight in frame and definitely around 5'6+. No way is she 5'4.
Katie said on 13/Feb/07
I believe she's 5'7 because I know Storm have no problem with accepting people under 5'8 if they feel they've got something special going and that is the height they state her at. Why lie anyway, if they want to use her, they use her. There doesnt't necessarily have to be a height rule if you're a model. Kate is undoubtedly the best in my mind and I think most would agree with that.

She is 5ft6.5. My model agent has met her and my agent can tell height instantly.
Felix said on 25/Jan/07
This is probably obivous to most people but to make sure you can not use the height they put on the compt card or on their modeling agency website. For exapmle Ana Carolina Reston was a model who was in reality 5 foot 6 and she thought she was too small so said she was just over 5 foot 7 heres the source Click Here On her profile she is put as 5 foot 8. Now see how she highered her height.
UNK said on 25/Jan/07
Melissa, she is behind him with her knee-bent stance, and he has his famous combat boots on... which he always looks tallest in (lifts maybe).
UNK said on 19/Jan/07
Actually Anon, I was trying to show that Depp seems to stand tall and hold himself like a tall preson, where Kate seems to slouch and hold herself like a small person.

I think we are kind of in agreement though. I am giving Kate a half inch more than you. And I think Depp is more 5'8.5" than 5'9". But really I don't think it is unfair to say he is around 5'9" and she is around 5'5".
Anon said on 19/Jan/07
UNK-I read over your comments on the Depp page. But aren't you pointing out that Depp is shorter than listed? If he is shorter, it would not matter if Kate bends her knees or slouches in some photos--Kate would also be shorter too. I agree, she could be slightly taller than 5-4, but not by more than an inch, I think.
UNK said on 18/Jan/07
I know Depp usually looks a few inches taller than her, my point is you could find pics where he doesn't tower her by any menas, and Depp's boots with her are always suspect. Check what I wrote on Depp's page.

I don't think she is 5'6", but not sure of her under 5'5".
Glenn said on 17/Jan/07
Excellent point Felix.making Walhberg look 6ft if people didnt know any better.thanks Anon.I saw Depp with Moss.and he towered her.interesting,I just remembered pics I saw of English police arressting Depp looking 5-7.if Depp is the 5-10 his publicist claims,then these cops were 6-4,6-5.they were in reality,at least 6-3.
Anon said on 15/Jan/07
I've submitted messages with full length pictures of Kate Moss with Johnny Depp and Sienna Miller with Sadie Frost (photos that basically establish Kate'e height as less than 5-6 and Sienna's as less than 5-5). However, they are not being posted on the site! What's up?

Editor Rob
do resubmit the link, it might have been dead when I checked
Felix said on 15/Jan/07
I agree that Kate Moss looks more like 5"4 compared to 5"8 Glenn. This might not be a good indicator but in the early 90's when she posed with Mark Walbergh who you put in your site as 5"8 she looks a good 4 inches shorter making her the 5"4 that you think. Click Here
Glenn said on 4/Jan/07
Thank you roxy!
roxy said on 3/Jan/07
i think that glenn is right about kate height nearer 5'4 range you can see in the photo, this is a proof and a soild evidence!!!!
Why don't you change kate moss height to 5'4-5'4.5? get it all sorted for all!!
Paul said on 29/Oct/06
"Guinness Book of records 1999" said that she was 169cm tall.
Franco said on 15/Oct/06
I met Kate Moss around march 2006 here in Venice/Italy, i am 1.93cm and she was wearing sport flat shoes just as i am, i'd say 1.68 cm is correct, i said hi to her and the top of her head was around my shoulder. she even asked if i work in fashion field and i replied NO, she asked how tall i am and i replied 1.93 cm, she was kinda impressed and said i should've worked in the fashion field, my height wouldn't go to waste. :D

beside being sweet, i agree......she is 1.68 cm.

All so true Lola.thanks Sarah.bumped into Winona a couple of nights ago.always and still ignores me.rare that she ever poses with a fan.

Editor Rob
speaking of Moss, saw someone had put your pic with Moss on a Moss thread in the fashionspot forums, normally this annoys me (because of bandwidth) but, since person included link back here, not a problem.

although I'm not sure if you mind folk putting your pics on other sites??? Do you consider that a compliment...
sarah said on 14/Sep/06
there are pictures now of winona ryder and kate moss shopping together in nyc, this should be the link Click Here
Judging from the pics, kate doesn't look that much taller than winona.. i think glenn is right about her being 5'4
lola said on 8/Sep/06
with that photoshop trick, we still have to remember that a 4" heel does not make you a full 4 inches taller, you're only lifting the heel of your foot (and kinda slopes your knees and stuff) up 4 inches so maybe you gain 2.75-3.25 inches of height, the only shoes that would gain you the full height of the heel is a platform shoe that's uniform in height from heel to toe (I've experimented to figure this out)......That said, I do think the picture helps to confirm she is in the 5'6 range and possibly smaller.....I know I have a girlfriend who is 5'1.5"/5'2" and I'm 5'6" in the morning.....when I have a heel on and she's wearing sneakers I'm towering over her so it seems like a much bigger difference than it actually is......Looking at that picture of Kate and Kelly it seems to be a similar difference in height as me and my friend in the same shoe situation so 5'5.5"/5'6" not taller, would be my best guess.....
Glenn said on 8/Sep/06
Thanks Dmeyer.I was slouching too.
Glenn said on 7/Sep/06
Thank you UNK.now people can believe me.she was nice to me but I had to beg for the photo.inside an event.she wouldnt pose in the street ever.hot she is.I havnt seen her in 11 years.
starlit horizons said on 7/Sep/06
Ok people., i've been following this thread for a while and i wanted to clear this up.
I know someone ho met Kate and said she was nearer, 5'4.5 than 5'6.
But i didn't believe it so i did a quick 5min photoshop of that pic with Kelly Osbourne.
I selected her, copied and repasted her so the heel of the red boot is on the floor and to me, she only looks about 2 inches taller than 5'2 Kelly.
Bear in mind this was a quick test but i think it's interesting....

that pics prove glenn is 5'8 as he claims
UNK said on 7/Sep/06
AWESOME... finally the Moss pic! She looks incredible. Glenn, is she even prettier up close? You got her in her prime too... nice.

How many time do we have to go over this "minimum" height thing for models? There are no absolute rules... get it through your heads!!!!
Glenn said on 7/Sep/06
She had heels on and Im slouching.Depp would tower her.thats how I knew 5-7 was BS.
Anoynmous said on 7/Sep/06
I recently saw that Blackadder movie that came out a few years ago. I remember she was in it, and 5'11" Rowan Atkinson towered over her. At the time I wondered how she could be a model, she looked tiny.
Anonymous said on 4/Sep/06
She wouldn't be able to be a model if she was smaller than 5ft 7, as that is the minimum height for fashion models, so she is at least 5ft 7 .
Glenn said on 3/Sep/06
Bad frost job and weight due to meds.snuck into event.begged her.normally not an easy photo with.

Soccer Club? Im only a little antsy cause I have yet another 120 new pics to go.and if I do fashion week,then it might be another similiar number.you have a couple of your own pics up your sleeve? thanks.

oh nothing to do with moss, just sittin ong pics (tv folk) I'd like to put up but can't. Something to do with soccer, yes.

Sure, I'll get through the ones of you in the last batches, one a day. You have dyed hair beside Moss, or highlights?

5-4.surprised you dont have this pic up.

not to worry, I'm still putting those metal band ones up, then moss/thurman and other actors after...I'll try to ensure one a day. Heck, I've only put up 1 of mine in last 3 months...well that's more to do with a soccer club top issue

ralph, there is NO WAY kate moss is 5' 3"!!! You could be the most gorgeous human being on earth, and if you were 5' 3", there would be absolutley no chance you could get signed! IF she was 5' 3", she would be up to other models hips when on the runway, a lot of the female models are taller than me in heels which would make them at least 5'9". Some models height and measurements are exaggerated a little, but not that much!
ralph said on 25/Aug/06
kate moss is 5'3". models are always listed when they are in mega-heels.
theheightguru said on 18/Aug/06
Lauren, According to most sites I looked at, Kate Moss weighs anywhere from 105-110 pds. If she's 5'7, how is that NOT 'teeny'? And no, I am not one of the 'FAT' people you think overestimates how much other people 'should' way in order to make myself seem thinner. Although, at 5'3 and 112 pounds, maybe I am fat by your standards. SCARY...
lauren t. said on 18/Aug/06
I have seen by her before a couple of years ago when I was in London and I am 5'7 1/2" & she was a little shorter than me, but only by about half an inch to an inch and we were both wearing flats. So she def is 5'7"ish, the reason why people think she looks tiny is usually because they themselves are fat..and the thing that makes people look "teeny" is small bone structure, NOT height.
dana said on 13/Aug/06
i saw her. she is 5'7" the same height as my friend. she has bad posture though and looks tiny because shes skinny
Anonymous said on 12/Aug/06
Well I think too that she is just about 5'6 as i have written before, but it is remarkable that a lot of people see her as smaller.. I definately do not believe that she is 5'8. no way.
erika said on 10/Aug/06
I actually recently bought her out of print book online "Kate", that is a collage of all her photos from the ninties, and in the book there's an intoduction from the editor of US Harpar Baazar and she was reflecting how she remembers when she first met Kate and how tiny & vibrant she was. They measured her on the wall and she was "a hair under 5'7"", and this is when she was a teenager, who knows if she grew? I just say she's 5'7", but if you want to get accurate 5'6.97". But it's unfair to call her anything under 5'6".
jen said on 29/Jul/06
Storm say that she is 5'8.5 that is such a li eshe is only around 5'5 5'6
Anonymous said on 26/Jul/06
Kitty, are you seriously joking? ALL pictures for magazines and ads are PHOTOSHOPPED! go look at the museum of art red carpet pictures and there is one where Kate is standing with Daria and Mario testino, Daria is one of the girls in the ad as well and she is well 5 inches taller than Kate, I can't believe you're actually going to believe and ad. most of the people that have seen her in person agree she's about 5'5.
and ANONYMOUS, I wish you all the luck in the world,just remember that Kate was discovered at 14 and mostly what they saw in her was her face and personality, those corinne pictures that made Kate a star were showcasing something new and grunge that changed the whole amazon thing they had going on at the moment, and that's why Calvin Klein hired her, from then on people started hiring her because of the stir she caused in those ads, so she was just lucky and at the right place during the right time, and she got the chance to become a good model, but even now most of Kate obsession is of her outisde of work, the way she dresses, her wild lifestyle and who she hangs out with and dates. but also keep in mind that Devon Aoki is like 5'3 so if they see something special in you, you might just make it.
Anonymous said on 25/Jul/06
i know that someone short like kate is rare in the modeling industry and she is so lucky to be where she is. I really want to model and im around her height, ive sent pictures to agencies, and of course got no reply. Does anyone happen to know of any reputable petite agencies out there that i could try?
kitty said on 25/Jul/06
if you look at the new versace ad - the other two models are 5 9 and 5 10 and there is no way she is about 4/5 inches shorter
meg said on 17/Jul/06
i am with storm models (kates agency) and I regulary bump into her. she usually walks around the office bare foot and i wear hardly ever wear high heels becuase i am ridiculously tall for my age anyway (im 15 and 5"11). she is way smaller than me. i would say around 5"6 or maybe 5"6.5. 5"7 is pushing it.
Anonymous said on 13/Jul/06
UNK in one of the pictures you posted Kelly has her head down and in the other one Kate is looking back and Kelly is slouching, which makes it seems Kat taller than she really is.
UNK said on 13/Jul/06
I can't see her less than 5'5" (maybe 5'4.75")... take the heels away and she's still about 4" taller than Osbourne. I think 5'6" is a stretch though.

also look at this pic of Kate and Pete in Glastonbury, there's more than a foot of difference between them so if you take the 1.5 inches off the boots Pete's wearing plus his height, which it's been said around 6'3 or 6'4 there ya go...

Tara said on 10/Jul/06
even if Kelly is 5'2, add the height of the heels plus about 2 inches more and it's pretty much the difference between them.
UNK said on 10/Jul/06
hmmm tara, now that i see kelly is pretty much barefoot and kate has at least 3 inches, i am back to thinking less than 5'6". keep in mind though i think 5'1" for kelly is underestimating.... i'm pretty sure she says 5'2".

yeah, looking at that pic..she really does look 5'4 ish.
bella said on 10/Jul/06
fair enough leonari ;) .. lets put her at 5'6 then, then everyone is happy :) .. but I'm telling you that a catwalk model at 5'6 today would be almost impossible, because put her in heels she is 5'10 .. that's shorter than most of todays catwalk models - without heels.

I saw her in person not very long time ago at a fashion event where I was modelling representing my danish agency. She was wearing a moderate heel and was slightly shorter than me - I was wearing 3inches heels or so. I'm 5'5
Tara said on 8/Jul/06
I know the picture you're talking about, it was at the wireless festival, I've seen the full picture you can see them on any website and Kelly is wearing flats while Kate is wearing high red ankle boots, and there's not a whole head of difference, plus Kelly has said before she's 5'1
UNK said on 7/Jul/06
First of all Drew Barrymore is taller than 5'2". Second of all there has never been any concrete evidence of Kate being shorter than 5'5". There are thousands of pictures of Kate with varies celebs. She is one of the most photographed people in the world.... and still no real evidence of her being less than 5'5".

I saw a pic of Kate the other day with Kelly Osbourne (not worth posting because you can't see their feet) but she was almost a head taller than Osbourne.

She is super thin and fragile looking making her seem petite and small. But I am tellin ya, if you throw her up against a wall and measure her, she's gonna be over 5'5".

Haley said on 6/Jul/06
listen if you look in the latest Vogue magazine with Kate Hudson on the cover, on page 134 there's a picture of Kate Moss and Drew Barrymore and there's only about an 2 inches of difference at the most, look in the rest of the pics and you can see they are wearing similar height heels, Kate's actually have a bit of platform in 'em, and Drew has said so herself that she's only 5'2, so you do the math and then stop being so rude! nobody is desperate enough to lie about something so stupid as someone's height especially when seeing them in person. last time I post anything here.
Anonymous said on 30/Jun/06
I did a show with Kate a few years ago in Spain. I was wearing flip flops and she was wearing tall heels (probably 4 inches or so.) I looked at her eyes and they were the same height as mine. I'm 5'8". You do the math.
Steven said on 29/Jun/06
Seen her in Blackadder Back and Forth and have to say she's more in the 5'5 range. Tony Robinson looked almost exactly Tony Robinson's height, give or take an inch.
Tara said on 28/Jun/06
haha, Haley is my roomate, there's three girls living in this house sharing one computer, so don't doubt any of the encounters because all of them are true, I was actually the one behind them who measure their height (Kate and Haley's) and I am 5'5 hence the reason I think James Blunt is that height.

holy jesus!!! I just saw Kate in Detroit at the Yeah Yeah Yeahs show about a week ago, I stood next to her, I can't believe how small she is, definitely 5'4, we were both wearing heels of the same height. I almost didn't recognize her cause I always thought she was taller, she was in town doing a spread for W magazine. don't believe she's 5'8 people, this girl is tiny, very beautiful and polite though but she left me stunned about her height.

if you look at the lastest pictures of Lindsay Lohan next to Meryl streep,who is definitely a very true 5'6 Lindsay looks about 2-3 inches smaller, then if you look at pictures of Moss with Lohan you can see they're almost the same height, Moss might be an inch taller than Lindsay so they're no way that Kate is more than 5'5
Glenn said on 24/May/06
Cant find the pic either.
UNK said on 23/May/06
Well Glenn could help us out with the 5'5" claim Melissa, if he would ever get that pic of him and Moss up... just bustin ya Glenn, I know your busy.
Melissa said on 21/May/06
heard from a friend who saw her a couple of weeks ago at club Sway in NY that she is at the most 5'5 no more

ford has commercial parts and hair and makeup divisions. i'm 5'5 and 16- i sent my stuff there. elite, the minimum is 5'6. people have told me that if they like your look enough who knows what could happen?
melanie said on 29/Apr/06
im 15 and about 5'4 to 5'5. do u guys think it is possible for me to be a model. it doesnt nessisarly have to be a runway model but maybe a commercial model or someting........if i sent my picture to elite or ford would they consider me?
lola said on 27/Apr/06
well as far as I know, kate moss is 5'6" and Lindsay Lohan is 5'5". To be a model your size or height does not actually matter, but when you move more into couture fashion they look for taller models(5'9" 5'10" is average). It doesnt matter much if your short and in film or any other area, but in fashion long and taller is much more desirable.
there is High fashion modeling, Glamour modeling (whatever floats ue boat, lol)
,Petite modeling (5ft to 5'4"), Plus size modeling (size 14 and over),Teen modeling, Mature modeling, Body part modeling (hand modeling, etc.)Male modeling (yeah guys model too, lol)Character or "real people" modeling.
pixie_gal said on 15/Apr/06
Katerina I think there is a chance for you to be a model there are plenty succesful models under the required height, Melanie Thierry 5'2, Devon Akoi (or something lol)5'5 and Kate. You could always do cosmetic modelling where it is just your face being shot, I have a friend who is 5'2 and stunning and she has been spotted by an agency for that.Being smaller just gives you individuality and it's all about individuality now!!!!
karenina said on 15/Apr/06
all my family members are really tall. the only two people that are short are my grandmother and mother...... i find it hilarious when i see my mother(5'2") and my aunt(5'8") stand next to each other.. i really want to model but i'm only 5'4", everyone that sees me in heels says i look really tall. what should i do? I think i have a nice face(my heritage is Italian and Latin), and a nice body(34b,25,37)! but not the required height! help! i wish kate moss height would be that lower however i think she is a 5'5"- she can't be 5'8"
Haylie said on 13/Apr/06
There are photos of Lindsay Lohan and Moss around just now and they look the same height the only problem is no one is sure of Lohan's height. Is it 5'4 or 5'5 or 5'6????????

I saw some, but couldn't make out their footwear

to Anonymous: if the agency likes your face and spirit and proportions, then I guess you should have a change especially if you are from America, since they have al sorts of models there. I am 5'5

i'm almost 16 and i'm short like Kate, I'm 5'5" 1/8. last month i sent some photos to Ford Agency. I don't know, does anyone think I have a shot?
OutOfLeftField said on 6/Apr/06
Just goes to show that you don't have yo be TALL to be a famous fashion model. Kate is one of the greatest "Chameleon" models, you can make her appear what you want her to appear just by dressing her up! Her secret? PROPORTIONS! Take her body and be it 5'4" or 6'2", the body PROPORTIONS are nicely done! She shares the same proportions as Jennifer Aniston and Ziyi Zhang...
bella said on 30/Mar/06
yeh, well Sally-Ann if you read what I wrote, I did not at all say that there was somehing wrong with being 6'0. As a matter of fact, you have a much larger opportunity of becoming a model where as shorter women got to have that extra something to have a shot at it. Just like Kate does.
sally-Ann said on 18/Mar/06
note to Bella who made a comment about 6'0 modals... Whats wrong with them i'm 6'0 and you have to be brave to cope with all the comments that get hauled at you. I think tall modals are gr8

Okay, saw Theodora Richards over the weekend and she was 5'3" . She is always photographed next to Elizabeth Jagger, who is photographed next to Moss a lot. This clarifies to me that Moss is not over 5'5".
bella said on 26/Feb/06
Great model. Has reinvented herself through the decades. She beat the odds regarding height and looks, since she is neither tall nor a classic beauty. What's up with 6'0 models anyway? I'm 5'5, still growing, and I am a model.
niceperson said on 6/Feb/06
so what if kate moss is only 5ft6 im 5ft7 and only 14 but does height really matter?? lets be honest kate moss is a stunner shes made millions so just leave her alone who care if your not tall you can still earn millions!
Moi said on 31/Jan/06
No way is Kate Moss 5'8'' I'd say she was 5'6''. I'm 5'7'' but still growing (dubbed to come to about 5'8'' or 5'9'') but thats still pretty small to model isn't it given Daria Webowy's 5'11''...
UNK said on 18/Jan/06
Audrey there really is no strict rule. The Kate Moss story goes like this...

She was discovered at JFK airport by Storm Modeling agency... they liked her face... they were concered about her height and slight figure, but still thought she had something special. She got back to London and started auditioning, it was tough for her... she got shot down a lot. A few photographers loved her waif look and extrodonary face... soon Calvin Klein saw her and felt she was perfect for the new look he wanted. The industry was sick of big breasted amazons at the time. The rest is history.

I think the key is this - if you don't have a tall slender body, then you better have something else... Kate does... one of the most beautiful, unique faces known to mankind. Most of her success was do to timing.

You should be grateful for Kate... she opened a lot of doors for short flat chested models.
audrey said on 17/Jan/06
im confused on something. u see im planning to become a model in the future because right now im 14 and 5'5 and obviously still growing. i dont think i'll be more than 5'7, but from what i hear agencies are very strict on the whole rule of being 5'8. how did they even sign kate moss to their agency knowing that shes only 5'5, 5'6?
Anonymous said on 15/Jan/06
What is Kim talking about?? In the pictures with Gwyneth P., Kate is only an inch shorter (1.5 at best). Paltrow is clearly 5'7, so that makes sense that Moss is 5'6" or 5'5". Gwyn is not 3 inches taller in those pics especialy, by any stretch.
kate said on 13/Jan/06
I am from Croatia I m 5ft 7 ,most of the girls in C. are taller then me,so you girls who suffer so much about your height come here bcs croatian guys(about 6ft 3 eaven taller) dont have problem with short girls...and about KATE -who cares how tall she is when she and all of models in pics look about 0.3ft max....
Cris said on 10/Jan/06
Gem.. you dont have to be that tall, in all honesty. Things are changing and you can be as short as 5'6 for that stuff now.

Kate looks 5'5

Re Kate Moss's height... I passed her at Notting Hill tube station on Sunday and would say she's definitely no more than 5' 6" - she was a fair bit shorter than me and I was 5' 8" in my boots!

In regards to "Z."'s comment about moss being in the G.b.o.r as the shortest model, it's true. I don't have the book with me since I am out of state attending university but it is in the 1999 one.

at her bginnig of her career kate said she was 5 ft 8.
now, a supermodel and famous for her relativ short height, she says she is 5 ft6. and why? its definitely promotion. she wants to be more famous for her height as she is.

She does stand out. I used to runway model in NY and no one is as tall as you think save for a few real heights, like Giselle, who is really 5'10". Kate moss and I have been in the same room enough times for me to tell that she is clearly 5'5", not quite the 5'6" of most short models. And it does stand out...to her advantage.
KateFan said on 20/Nov/05
I could believe 5'6"..the bottom line is that she's drop-dead gorgeous from head to toe. An amazing beauty!

Kate Moss 5'6"? I don' think so.. or maybe it is.
She is quite tall but it is true that she is 5'6"?
S said on 15/Nov/05
I model for Elite, and on my info card it listed me as 5"8 1/2, when i'm really around 5"7 1/2. if you're pretty enough, the clients dont care if your an inch or two shorter. you can't tell in the pictures anyway. and on the runways, i just get stuck with the highest heels. the audience is none the wiser. and i've met kate, she's around 5"6, almost 5"7. but she's gorgeous so who cares?

Kate is 5'5". That is what I say. I have seen her and she is not 5'6" at all. But, if no one believes that she is 5'4", 5'5" it is. Next to 5'3" Sadie Frost, she looks 5'4" or 5".

she's something like 165cm if not a little less, i passed by her at the airport, we were both wearing flats, i'm 172cm and she's a fair bit shorter than me.
minime said on 10/Oct/05
How on earth would she have become a model when she's only 5'4"? She's known as the short model who introduced the heroin chick look into the modelling world. She's short for a MODEL, I believe the standard minimum for runwaymmodels is 5'8". If she was really smaller than 5'6" she would never be a runway model. 5'6" sounds about right to me.

i dont understand why u have to be 5'8 to be a model if your beautiful and cant take great pictures you should be able to have a chance as a model
Anonymous said on 4/Oct/05
I modeled for IMG for three years when I was 15. I am 5'8" and they listed me at 5'9" and sometimes I would se 5'9"1/2 on the information cards given to designers. That is just how you do it. Normal people fudge their height too. always up about 1/2 inch. And you always fudge your measurments as a model, by n inch or even 2.5 inches. The info you give a client has to be different than reality. You are selling yourself like a commodity. They don't show you what anything REALLy looks like in an ad. Why would they tell you what a celeb height REALLY is etc. I know from the industry that Kate is about 5'5". I am also sure that nobody in the industry would say their real height unless they are 5'10" or more since being shorter breeds an insecurity and an inferiority in the eyes of clients/fans. I am close to a lot of girls still working and rarely are any of them listed at their real height. we are all just SO thin when we're working that we do look taller IN PHOTOS / ON A RUNWAY. See us in real life and it's obvious. No big deal, really. Kate is a phenomenon, though. I mean, she is so so small for modeling but so so good.

Kate looks 5'5" to me. She is no way on earth 5'7" or 5'8"
Itziar said on 1/Oct/05
In that quotation she says she was 5'6'' at the beginning of her career. She started modelling at 14, so she can be 5'7'' right now. And she really looks 5'7'' to me.
~Nate~ said on 27/Sep/05
I think she is 5'6-5'7 she doesnt look 5'8 then again I've never met her. And when will people realize just because a woman puts four inch heels on does not mean that it makes her 6ft tall! It adds about 2.5 inches Max. The only way it will add the full four inches is if they are platforms.
CelebHeights Editor said on 26/Sep/05
From Interview magazine 1999, "In the beginning, my agent said to me, "If you were two inches higher, you'd have two more zeroes at the end of your bank account." I was five foot six and if I was five foot eight and had, say, a 4B cup, then I would have been fine."
kim said on 15/Sep/05
the difference between moss and johnny depp who is 5'9 does not support the theory she is 5'6! kate with heels on possible 3 inches would be the same height as johnny or almost the same height! im 5'6 and my dad is 5'9 the difference between our heights arent as big as u wud think! kate is possibly in my opinion no taller then 5'5! i would put her at maybe 5'4.5-5'5
Kisha said on 13/Sep/05
Her official site has Kate Moss listed as 5"8? That's odd. I'm 5"8. Since when was a 5"8 woman considered petite? People consider me tall for a girl. I think that modeling agencies rounded up her height so that she could get work. If I put on 4 inch heels I look 6". Kate Moss never looked 6" in heels. No way she's 5"8.

Z2 -I am curious as to what her height is. I meant, I don't care if she is 5'4" or 5'6", or any other height... but I do care to know the truth... although, not all that much, ha ha.
Z2 said on 5/Aug/05
Also, "UNK"--if you really didn't care what height Kate is, you wouldn't be asking for evidence.
Z2 said on 1/Aug/05
"UNK"--why you just asking me? Many people on this site believe Kate is 5'5". But back in the day, Kate was described as, "taking a chance on a 5'4" model". Modeling agencies "round" models heights so that the model can be successful and get work. Kate Moss is no different. Some sites will post Kate's height, anywhere from 5'5" all the way up to 5'8" to make Kate seem taller than she really is. Just because the Google sites have her down for 5'6"-5'7", doesn't mean they're true. I've seen pictures of Kate and she does look 5'4".
UNK said on 1/Aug/05
Z2 - What websites post her at 5'5"? Search google, they all have her at 5'6" or 5'7".

Towards the beginning of Kate's career, she was described as "Taking a chance on a 5'4" model." This would explain most of the websites posting Kate for 5'5".

kate's small size makes her look kool..and i dont see that 5ft 6 is a bad thing..she is tall yet her small size and skinny body makes her look shorter..thats the deal i guess.
UNK said on 17/Jun/05
Ha Ha... there is no way Kate is 5'3" dude... 5'5.5" at the shortest. I give her a solid 5'6", she gets listed a lot at 5'7", but that's the modelling agencies trying to up her. But 5'3", come on... she couldn't be a successfull fashion model at that height... look at her in catwalk pics next to 6'0" models... she is small, but not 5'3".

You can't see the bottom half of your pic... who knows what's going on with their feet.

If this is accurate for Kate, there are a lot of pictures with her and former fiance Johnny Depp. We can come to a better understanding of him, but beware the footware! How do you guys find those pics anyway?
