I know agencies lie about a models height, and theres an agency listing kate as 5ft8, but i don't see the point of lying about a model so famous 4 being shorter than usual.
brapp says on 13/Jan/10
a picture of her with 5'2" lily allen, side by side at the beach on flat ground, shows kate moss to be 5'4.5" Abby says on 15/Dec/09
If there isn't at least a 1 inch difference in your height and the celebs height you are trying to guess...it's basically impossible to know if they are the same height, an inch shorter, an inch taller etc. You can always be off by one inch.
Crystal- thanks for your comment, but have you ever met Kate Moss? No. I think you are the one who is "slow" if you haven't figured out yet that models heights get lied about. That's why storm lists her as 5'8. Obviously she has been measured before considering she's a model, but that doesn't mean that the general public can say how tall she is. I think she's 5'51/2 you think she's 5'6. Your guess is no more credible then anyone else's on here...including mine. I'm sure like a bunch of other girls out there you think you know everything about the modeling business, because you've read about it, but calling people "slow" because they have a different guess then you (and that's all it is) isn't really cool. Littlesue says on 12/Dec/09
There is a picture today in today's Sun and Kate and Posh Spice are arm in arm at some party. Kate is a good 2.5 to 3 inches taller than Posh, you can't see their feet but there is a separate full size pic of Posh from the same party and she is wearing her ususal skyscraper heels with platforns. I would say Kate probably just scraps in at 5ft 6. xyz says on 30/Nov/09
Just a general comment. It is actually quite difficult to judge another person's height even if you are standing side by side or face to face.
For example, I'm 5'2.5 and my friend is 5'4.5. When I face her or walking beside her, I feel like she and I are about the same height. I have a general feeling that she is not shorter and definitely not gigantic but I actually don't "see or feel" the two inches until I can see our reflections. Crystal says on 20/Nov/09
Um, some of you on here seem slow. If Kate Moss is a model for Victoria Secret...then I'm pretty sure that her height is accurate. She is a super model. They measure all runway models. They never guess their height. She is 5'6..she is no shorter.And for the rest of you who said that you met her and she seems taller...maybe you just don't know your height. For those who are saying "no she is taller than 5'6 because I'm 5'6 and she is taller than me" UURRRRR wrong...you're not 5'6, actually you're shorter than 5'6.
For those who are saying they are 5'6 and she is shorter than you...maybe you're not 5'6, maybe you're taller than 5'6. But trust me every super model gets their height measured...she is 5'6 point blank Abby says on 19/Oct/09
Oh okay, gotcha. Rob do you think you could put up a new page for Alessandra Ambrosio? She's listed as 5'10" right now by storm model management. She's quite a famous victoria's secret model. Abby says on 10/Oct/09
Rob I know these are estimites (obviously) I was just curiouse if a celebs magagement ever contacted you to put up their height or anything...but anyway. If you need to be 5'7 to be a model and you are 5'6, it is such a small difference that I don't think it would be a major issue, that is unless you are doing runway. We all know models lie about their heights.
[Editor Rob: not really, I may have had a very small handful inform me 'so and so' is such and such a height, but that's once in a blue moon!] Anonymous says on 9/Oct/09
Though Kate moss is "Kate Moss" she want special when she first started modeling, they wouldn't make an acception for you under 5'7"! I have been modeling 6 years! I am 5'7" as well! Just went to an open call at elite models! She said kate is 5'7" and she she actually picked me out of 13 other ppl! But was questionable becusa my height!! Now I am a nobody now, if I was ne shorter no way!! And kate moss was once in my shoes!! It takes more than just a ¶retty face to be a model!! I believe she is 5'7" Abby says on 9/Oct/09
Rob--Quick question. For "certain reasons" can you not put up a celeb's "real" height because of their management team, considering it could effect their image especially if they are a model.
On another note, I do agree with this height listing for kate, keep up the good work!:)
[Editor Rob: every page states the listing is an estimate.] Lee says on 23/Sep/09
Hey Britt: thousands and thousands of pics of girls every week these agencies get but how many of them are kate moss? jefferson hack's (her ex bf and father of her daughter) assistant said that kate is about her height and she is 5'5.5" barefoot. Anonymous says on 8/Aug/09
Kate looks pretty close in height to Lily Allen in the photo on this page: Click Here
Either Lily Allen is taller than 5'2" or Kate Moss is more like 5'4". Also, in respone to Britt - Kate Moss started modelling many years ago, and there were plenty of girls on agencies' books who were shorter than 5'8" in those days. Being born into a posh family seemed to be the number one criteria. That or looking anorexic - even then only magazines like 'The Face' would want you. Things have changed now granted, maybe because each generation is taller than the last. Michelle says on 28/Jul/09
I'd place her at 5'5.5"....maybe 5'6" on a good day. I hear models under 5'10 tend to add an inch or two to their comp cards. John says on 17/Jul/09

britt im not a heigth expert but thier is no way kate moss is 5'7,just like rob said 5'5 5'6. britt says on 14/Jul/09
i dont know why you all insist models who say theyre 5'7 or 5'8 are actually shorter than the average woman-theyre NOT. im a model and have been for 7 years, and despite the fact that i myself am right under 6", i know that agencies do not sign girls under 5'8 unless its for commercial modeling. i dont care how beautiful your face is, if you are 5'5 you will never be a fashion model- agencies get thousands upon thousands of photos of beautiful and tall girls WEEKLY- why would they pick a girl whos 5'4?? im sorry amye, but you wont be a fashion model- youre 2 inches too short. thats the way this industry is. kate moss IS 5'7; ive met her twice, and she is only about 3 inches shorter than me- and she has a one in a million face and body- meaning they made a big exception for her...and if youre even shorter than THAT, youd have to have a 1 in a trillion face. and francophile, none of those models are 5'4-5'5- your estimations are way off. laetitia casta is 5'8 and josie moran is 5'7 (MAYBE 5'6 1/2) they have to stand next to 5'10 models and noone is going to hire a girl who looks like a midget next to all their other models. im sure it makes you feel better to think theyre of average height, but sorry, theyre not. britt says on 14/Jul/09

Cool im 5'6 1/2 and would lnve 2 be a model...hopefully. im inspired by her bcuz i feel short. Francophile says on 5/Jun/09
I used to be a buyer at Barneys New York in the late 90s/early 2000s, and Kate stopped by frequently. I do not believe she is over 5'5, and agree she is closer to 5'4 than she is to 5'6. Models such as Kate Moss, Devon Aoki, Laetitia Casta and Josie Maran are in the 5'4-5'5 range and NOT in the 5'6-5'8 range their respective modeling agencies claim. i am 5'11" says on 4/Jun/09
kate moss photographs tall, and she is 5'7", says AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL, most models have to be at least about 5'9", and she doesn't do runways too much, so she is fine, but modeling agencies do not like to hire models under 5'8", and preferably taller. anon says on 10/May/09

More than "4.25 inches" height difference, i think, and in HIGH heels(looks like with small platform). Heels are shown, along with more pictures proving the greater height difference, in this daily mail article: Click Here
4.25" is practically laughable.
there are also many pictures with pete doherty online, who's height is right around david williams', to reference. Angie says on 2/May/09
Yeah. she has to be 5'6 or 5'7... J.J. says on 26/Apr/09
She is 5'6.5" this 5'5.75" listing is crazy. I found a picture of her standing next to this 6'3" David Williams & she was about 4.25" shorter than him. This means that she was wearing a 16cm heel that gives her 5.3" in height so she was standing at nearly 6'0"(5'11.8") to be precise. This makes her a a solid 5'6.5" J.J. says on 26/Apr/09

Yes. I doubt Sasha is 5'8. She's 3" shorter than Vlada, who claims to be 1.74m, but I think is listed at 5'10.
Anyway, I would say Kate is about 5'4.5 even. Not quite as low as 5'4. Debbie says on 7/Apr/09
Who were you referring to? Who is Sasha P. Do you mean Pivovarova? I am not sure if you did but she is 5'8. Anonymous says on 5/Apr/09
The better the face, the less that height matters. As long as the body is proportioned well, a girl of average height could be a successful short model. Just look at Sasha P. Debbie says on 3/Apr/09
I definitely think she is 5'4. You just can't deny it when you see her standing next to 5'2 Kelly Osbourne. It really does surprise she was a runway model being that height. Doubt you could do that today. Although I believe her unique face is what sets her apart from other models. She does have a beautiful angled face that is perfect for photography.

I do think that she was somewhere near (below) 5'6 when she was signed, but by now its quite possible that she has shrunk a bit. Shelly says on 28/Mar/09
She's at least 5'6, but not taller than 5'7. When she was younger, there was a documentary of some sort in which she was measured at right below 5'7 and she was laughing because her agency lists her at 5'8. I'd say she is 5'6.5. n3 says on 26/Mar/09
1. Shorter girls do not have smaller bone structure, that is dependent upon the person.
2. Having broad shoulders does not correlate with having a larger bone structure, it's a physical trait. Most runway models are a) tall, b)small-boned, and c)have broad shoulders. Little Red says on 17/Mar/09
julie-that's not true. shorter girls don't always have smaller bone structure. just look around. there are a lot of short people with broad shoulders and wider bone structure. there are a lot tall naturally slim girls too. and it's not the models fault they are so thin anyway. it's their job. using healthier looking models starts with the designers. they need to make their clothes bigger. Brad says on 17/Mar/09
Weak 5' 5", just over Madonna by an inch or so from what I've seen. How she got to be a model at this height is worth an article, most gals this height are led out the door before showing their folder. Julie says on 16/Mar/09
It's sick if she's really that short but yet set the standard of how thin models should be. Shorter girls have smaller bone structure. No wonder all the girls on the runways these days look sick and anorexic. They're trying to be the same size as someone 4 inches shorter. Little Red says on 14/Mar/09
i have no idea why storm lists her at 5'8". i think that is so dumb because everybody knows she's not. some people will argue that she is 5'7" (lol) but everyone knows she about 5'5". also, selita ebanks who is represented by women model management is listed as 5'9.5" which is also sort of a joke because everyone that has met her says she is 5'6" to 5'7" tops. even marisa miller is apperenly quite short in person like 5'6" or so. she is listed at 5'8" also. you'd think the agencies would list a height at least sort of believable like 5'7" for kate and 5'8" for selita. i still don't get some agencies and their height listings...

I love kate moss i think she is great! well done sarah doukes because without her and kate, fashion would not be what it is today! I have seen her personally,she was wearing heels and im 5'8 and she was roughly same height as me with flats on! She is so beautiful with stunning features! Blackdiamond says on 21/Dec/08
I guess what Sarah Doukas saw first in KM is her incredible features not her height. And who cares about height, it's all about proportions. She was very clever to bet on her considering how successful KM became. It'd have been crazy to discard such incredible model material because she's small. Now to quote Karl Lagerfeld the height is not that so important as long as the face is exceptional. Damn he's right! UNK says on 10/Dec/08

well, model scouts wont accept anyone over 5ft 8, and they prefer 5ft10's, to be honest, so I dont see how they would have accepted someone who is 5ft4 thats tiny in comparison. wenda says on 25/Oct/08
would you people get over thinking agency's don't employ anyone under 5'8"!
in the documentary "the kate moss years" even people who worked for her agency said she was 5'4" when she started at 14 and several people interview mentioned again and again how tiny she was compared to the other models Salla says on 22/Oct/08
All pictures and videos and catwalks I've seen, Kate Moss is quite short (compared to the other models) but maybe modelling agency saw something about her. Her face and figure is so unique that they just love her. As we can see after many many years the height doesn't matter so much if you are in other levels so unique and different. squashed says on 18/Oct/08
nah, she's at least 5'6. no modelling agency would employ a model under that, especially if they were discovered before the fame hit. Caleb says on 15/Oct/08
I would have thought that she was taller than the given height, but this photo with Lindsay Lohan begs to differ.
Click Here zoe says on 7/Oct/08
kate moss is 5"7. Pete Doherty is 6"2 and she [with out heels] was about 5/6 inches shorter. if tht. i wud actually say she was taller. her agency states shes 5"7 aswell. They dont employ girls unless there sure they willl make the 528.5 + status, if not then once they reach 16 they let them go. and she is well over 16 [shes 34 now] so i wud say she is definitely 5"7 cos they only keep on girls a TINY bit shorter and thts if there like AMAZINGLY good or hv something great to offer. and tht means they cn still only be a bit otherwise ppl wudnt have employed her. she did catwalk remember. wenda says on 28/Sep/08
how come her height hasn't changed? come on, she's not 5'7.5", that is very obvious.
how about you knock her down to 5'6" or something more reasonable? Marina says on 27/Jul/08
Johnny (Depp) is not a tallish guy by any means, and has always been with women on the petite scale wynona, kate, Vanessa Paradis. He used to come into the club in Miami I used to work in. I am 5' 6" and I had to wear 3 inch heels on the job. We were eye to eye when I served him. If you google Johnny Depp and Kate Moss you can find a whole slew of pics. Johnny is not a big guy...(in my opinion he stretches his height as well) and his height is often listed as 5'9" or 5'10". He often wear shoes with a thickish sole also. In this pic of Johnny and Kate he is "at least" 2 inches (if not more) taller than her (even with his thickish heels on). SO if he is 5'9" or 5'10", and she is at least 2 inches shorter than him in the pic... that would make her at least 5'7" or 5'8" in the pic with her 3 inch heels on....what is that? 5'4 OR 5'5"??? You do the math. check it out for yourself!!!

god that pic of kate and kelly... even taking into account the sloping ground Kate is MAX 5'4" Josephine says on 12/Jul/08
Yea she probably is 5'5" ish...no taller than that. It's not uncommon for agencies to hire models who are under 5'8" tall provided they have a very unique look. I mean whether you like Kate Moss or not she certainly isn't Cindy Crawford! UNK says on 7/Jul/08
Looks like Kelly has a slight advantage of the sloping ground.. but they are both in Uggs, so same heel height. I don't see Kate more than 5'5"(ish). Debbie says on 3/Jul/08
Did anyone see the picture of Kate and Kelly Osbourne awhile back when Kate was staying in Cotswolds? It seemed Kate wasn't more than 2-3 inches taller?? Maybe it was just the angle?? Not sure. I think you can view it here, try cutting and pasting.

Davey, it's nearer 5'8-5'9 for a min height for supermodels. UNK says on 11/Jun/08
I know they usually choose tall models Davey. My point is that it is not the LAW... Many people think it just can't be if you are under 5'8"... that is just not the case.. Moss isn't the only successful model under 5'8".
Also, "super-models" pretty much went out when Moss came in.. that term is rarely used with todays models.
Don't get me wrong - I agree, most models are tall. Dr. D says on 9/Jun/08
No, youre right Davey.. sad but those people really look for taller women, which is sad because it deforms our thinking of people. Its only because of those models that every girl (well, many) want to be tall and thin and think only thats the right way to be beautiful. But in fact those models are not perfect, you might say theyre strange, because there so tall Davey says on 7/Jun/08
UNK no,The people that choose supermodels normally only choose giant women.Not that kate moss isnt attractive which im sure she is too some people,But i always though the people who choose supermodels where height driven.Its rare to find a supermodel under 5`10 i would have thought. UNK says on 6/Jun/08
ha ha, you're joking right Davey? Davey says on 6/Jun/08
Weird hows she 5`5 and a supermodel. UNK says on 5/Jun/08
All you people that keep talking about having to be tall to be a model just DO NOT get modeling. There is an art to it, there are no hard cut rules.
Kate had/has a specific look that someone liked at the time - and obviously they were right.. she has come to be one of the most successfully models ever!
If you notice, she got out of runway work pretty quick, didn't she! Which is where they like to use tall models.
The girl is about 5'5" - get over the whole "omg, she is a model she can't be less than 5'8" - it's just ridiculous to think like that. mah says on 24/May/08

As a model, I can say that I see a lot of girls who are below 5'7".
A face comes first and then height second.
Many girls like Mona J, and Kate Moss have a beautiful, unique face, which is the reason why, both at no more than 5'5" have agencies and make a lot of money.
I met Kate Moss. I myself am 5'11", and this girl was in heels, and I'm in flats and she was still a good 3 inches shorter than i was. meg says on 11/May/08
i find it hard to believe kate moss is 5'7. I believe that if she were standing next to someone who is actually believably that tall she would be a few inches shorter. I reckon once people think someone is a certain height, in this case 5'7 or even 5'6, they don't see how they are usually shorter, because why shouldn't they believe the height? although, most people already seem to think kate is shorter anyway. that was such a rant.

She is always listed as being 5'7, which I think she is. I too have never understood how she became a model, as I do not think her to be particularly attractive, especially when you compare her to models like Yasmeen Ghauri and Karen Mulder etc, who were around at the same time, and because the minimum height requirement for catwalk models is supposed to be 5'8. She also has a squint, and had pretty bad teeth until recently. But even she is better than today's models, who are just skinny and ugly or very weird looking. It goes to show that if someone is famous, the public is more likely to be brainwashed into thinking that they are better looking than they actually are. Anonymous says on 14/Mar/08

To be a commercial model you can pretty much be any height within normal range. To be a runway and/or fashion model, they most likely won't even look at you if you're less than 5'8" (which is pushing it). 5'7" and under is too short UNLESS they think you're special enough. Monica says on 5/Mar/08

Probably the agencies and end customers advertise for models that are taller than they need, because they know people exaggerate. You can most likely be an inch below a height requirement and it won't be noticed. LM says on 28/Jan/08
Keep in mind that as a model Kate ALWAYS has heels on. The requirement for runway models is 5'7"-5'10". Any shorter or taller, the model won't fit the clothes the designer has made and unless you have supermodel status, they won't be fitted for your shorter or taller frame. brapp says on 22/Jan/08

from people on the fashion spot who met her, this is what they said she was. Crystal says on 16/Dec/07
A model's height requirement really depends on what kind of job they do. Kate is mostly a print model, which doesn't require a model to be very tall.
Runway models are usually 5'9" plus. C. says on 9/Dec/07
Let's face it. Kate Moss can be shorter than the avg. supermodel b/c she IS Kate Moss. But the majority of models period are at least 5'7". You're supposed to be a walking clothes hanger, which a tall, gauntly woman gives off. So for all of the avg. or shorter women out there, why care about such a crazed 'beauty standard'? Most models are unhealthy looking anyways.
Kate looks 5'5", if that. She has a slender figure, but anyone with half a brain can tell she's not 5'7". Pretty woman, but with some serious issues. Sabrina says on 20/Nov/07
I met Kate Moss 11 years ago (so she was in her late teens) and I was shocked at how short she was, however she could have grown since then as she was younger, at the time we met I was 5ft 4.5 and she was no way in a millions years taller than me. I too was being asked to model, what it is to get modelling contracts at a height less than 5'8 is rare, the preferred height is 5'8 plus, but if they like your face they will bend the rules. Clients will ask for a particular height, preferring 5'8 and above, so that is why height is lied about, once you audition and get to the shoot they don't care, especially if it is your face they are interested in. Agencies just do not make it public as they would be swamped with girls and woman who think or want to model who are less than 5'8. Kate Moss is a classic example of she just had the right look, I did not pursue the modelling as I really really did not like the environment or the lifestyle, but I was inundated with offers, and again I was only 5ft 4.5 and Indian, but my face was different It was strange becuase in the Indian modelling circuit I had little success, but in the western market I did, they just liked my face. I don't think that means I am exceptionally beautiful I just think they have in there minds a certain look and if your it then you get offers, I saw many Indian girls and women taller and much prettier not get anywhere in the western market and be very upset about it, but it does not mean they are not beautiful it is not the look they are looking for at that time. But times change and trends change, what was in Vogue yesterday is not today sometimes. Kate is not 5'7 and every knows that she is between 5'4 and I would say a max 5' 5.5, but in that business lying about your height is common place, it's all about getting work and contracts. Mathilda says on 16/Nov/07
she's 5'5'' i remembered it in a newspaper article i dont think she 's 5'4'', even she is taller than that no doubt Adriana says on 5/Nov/07
im 1.68-1.69 and i look soo much taller than kate Moss i've never really seen her in person only on tv and mags and stuff but if she looks so short at 1.67 makes me think that i look that short too o_0 luz dulcinea says on 22/Oct/07
i really think that it's ok to be short even if u're supermodel..what's the fuss bout scarily tall girls?? think bout the short guys.. Anonymous says on 19/Oct/07
Usually agencies only bump the height an inch maybe an inch and a half and 2 in some cases. Agencies lie about the models so they will get more work. A client will obviously see that a 5'7" girls is not 5'10" but if they see her in person they might brush it aside where if they were to see 5'7" or 5'8" on her card they wouldn't give her a second look. Christy says on 9/Oct/07
I don´t understand why the agencies lie about the models. The clients will discover the truth about their heights anyway when they show up. Maybe her agency lies because they don´t want every pretty girl who mesures 5'4 (like Kate) to try to become a supermodel. It´s unrealistic: Kate is an exception and the agencies still want the average model to be at least 5'8 Hugo says on 9/Oct/07
I always thought Kate was 5'4" as she looks it. Agencies like to round their clients' heights so that they get more work. In this particular photo, you can tell Kate's in heel so 5'4" would be correct. Alex says on 6/Oct/07
I'd say 5'5. Anonymous says on 28/Sep/07
She has always looked 5'5"-5'6" to me. Rachie..x says on 25/Sep/07
Kate Moss doesn't need to be tall, purely because she is Kate Moss. The fashion industry has moved on in the last decade or so, and it is not so accepting of shorter models anymore- even though they soooo should. I'd say 5'6.5, cos she's short, but not really short. Bru says on 15/Sep/07
that's exactly what I'm worried about. I'm five three.... and uhhh trying to make it in the fashion industry isn't easy. I'll do what it takes though ... :) Anonymous says on 2/Sep/07
IMGmodl IMG bumps lots of model's heights. Skylar says on 30/Aug/07
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! Maya says on 29/Aug/07
"Kate says on 23/Jun/07
I'm 5'6. End of."
Was that really THE Kate or just someone playing smart?! IMGmodL says 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 says 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! joana says 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 says 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... Queen of Sheba says on 6/Jul/07
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 says on 23/Jun/07
she looks lanky, I dont think shes any shorter than 5.5 Kate says on 23/Jun/07
I'm 5'6. End of. KylieBaby says 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 says 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 says 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 says on 21/May/07
a tv programme said she is the shortest of all the models at 5.6.5 val says 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 says 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 says 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 says 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. anonymous says 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. Anonymous says on 24/Apr/07
Kate is 5'5", no more than that. I'm a model myself and her agent told me so. Anonymous says 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 says 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 says 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 says 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 says 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 says 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 says on 1/Mar/07
Yeah, i've seen them once to, they are really good and professional. Kate wasnt there tho. Evanna says 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 says 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 says on 25/Feb/07
Yes, very skinny and fragile, and definitely not the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Julia says on 25/Feb/07
Evanna: Is she really that skinny in real life? Evanna says 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 says 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 says 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 says 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. Felix says on 26/Jan/07
Thanks UNK UNK says on 26/Jan/07
wow - great pic felix Bella says on 25/Jan/07
She is 5ft6.5. My model agent has met her and my agent can tell height instantly. Felix says 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 says 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 says 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 says 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 says 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". Anon says 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] Paul says on 29/Oct/06
"Guinness Book of records 1999" said that she was 169cm tall. IMGmodL says on 1/Sep/06
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! Haley says on 26/Jun/06
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. bella says 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. CelebHeights Editor says 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." MollyB says on 17/May/05
I actually saw Kate Moss in Dublin last weekend. She is definitely no more than 5 ft 6.. I'm 5 ft 5 so I was delighted as I had seen reports that she is 5 ft 8. CelebHeights Editor says on 2/May/05
Well, I see Kate has grown - I think Her official height of 5ft 8 would make Johnny quite a tallish guy! |
