Kate Moss Height
Kate Moss height: 5 ft 5.75 in (167 cm)

English Model. In a 1999 interview magazine article said: "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."

Rob, explain this to me, please. Why did you cite Kate's claim about 5'6 and then give her 0.25" less? A quarter of inch is not critical, but, as I noticed, you do in such way rather often. :) Do you think, that people like Kate Moss round their heights up?
[Editor Rob: I think most celebrities will say a round figure than come out with 5ft 5.5 or 5ft 5.75 etc.

in reality there are nearly as many people who would measure 5ft 5.5 as 5ft 6, but most who fall between 5ft 5.5-6 would naturally just round up.]

Paula Hamilton, giving her opinion about KM to Sarah Doukas who had just discovered her, clearly states in the kate moss years documentary that she was 5'4 at that time (she was 14 and a half). Unlikely she grew much taller than 5'6.

she look short for model. possible 5ft5 but not less. 5ft5.25(166cm) much happening.
Shaun says on 19/Sep/11
Spot on, just shy of 5'6" which in the super model world is extremely rare. Mostly comes across as around 5'6" to me.

Silke, so she's SHORTER than 1.68 m or 5'5"? Oh my. Yes, I have heard people say she's tiny in person, and has a great personality.
Odie says on 8/Sep/11
Sofiya: I am 5 ft. 4.75, but I tell people I am 5 ft 5. People like round numbers.
silke says on 22/Aug/11
I'm 1.68 m - surely NOT taller!!- and she is shorter than me..I met her in London on last june, and we were both in flats...anyway: she's GREAT!!!
Irshgrl500 says on 3/Jul/11
Well, Guinness World Records 2000, Millennium Edition, Pg. 94 (094) has Moss listed at 5'6" (NOT 5'7", James, so......)

Just because Kate Moss is shorter, it doesn't mean she can't be a model. And, if you're more of a photography model, which Kate Moss is, your height isn't as important as it would be on a cat walk.
Amanda says on 21/Jun/11
dude. i didnt even know who warwick davis was. n then i saw the pic n laughed haha.

btw, what's a 4b? lol. i hope i grow to 5-6" im 5-4"
me says on 14/Jun/11
She is 166 cm.
Odie says on 11/Jun/11
Tony Greene - You would not get Kate Moss, Brigitte Bardot or Audrey Hepburn etc. with that standard. Modelling has to do with selling clothes, and if you are perfect at 5'6'', you will still get hired! Kate is the proof:) Kate is a shortie, and 167-168cm sounds about right.
Emma says on 5/Jun/11
All you people that say that there is no way she is 5'5" or 5'6" because modelling agencies would never hire someone that short for a runway model, that isnt true. Usually they prefer models over 5'9", but in very rare cases, shorter models are hired.
Sofiya says on 23/May/11
Her own comments says she is 5.6 so why is 5.75 listed?
Pinky says on 27/Apr/11
to Tony Greene:
there is no LEGAL height to be a model. YES, agencies require a certain height, but there are models who lie about their height and that if they have anything else to be a good model, they simply put obviate that fact, dont' check it and they usually listed as 5'9.

And there are other great girls contrated by the agencies without care about their height because they have everything else, the IT thing.

There are plenty of models that are not between 5'9-5'11 which is what is required to be a model, just look at Victoria's Secret models.

The minimum height is required especially for the runway, catalog and other not so necessary. Yet there has been and will be a lot of catwalk models that not reach the 5'9 or even 5'8. Look for models such as Bambi, Laetitia Casta, Sasha Pivovarova, Audrey Marney, Mona Johannesson, Barbara Palvin, Hannah Holman, Zippora Seven, Devon Aoki,... All of them are high fashion models, not tall but have everything else and can overcome what for others would be an obstacle.

The television show of Tyra Banks is not completely accurate to the world of fashion and models, is a show.

As for Kate Moss, I saw a photo from years ago with Claudia Schiffer (around 6') in Cannes, and the difference is huge.
SAK says on 26/Apr/11
@Tony Greene, Moss is the exception to the 'at least 5ft8 rule'.

I believe she is 5ft6/168cm.
Julia says on 23/Apr/11
Tony Greene
Says who ?! HAHAHA no it's not...Calvin Klein or whatever believied in her and he wanted her to be a model...omgg...
Natasha says on 6/Apr/11
I was on the same flight as Kate Moss and she spoke very briefly to me. I am 5'5 and would estimate Kate Moss (who was wearing flat pumps) to be about 5'55 at the most. She has a very petite frame...I don't know why agencies lie about height...Kate Moss has proven that at her petite height you can reach every height in modelling. So many celebs around 5'5 photograph really well...There shouldn't be a restriction on a model's height as long as they can deliver great pictures.
Pinky says on 20/Mar/11
Photos of Kate with Naomi Campbell and Lindsay Lohan.

According to various agencies of Kate and Naomi, their height are:
Kate_5'7.5 (NY-IMG)________________Naomi_5'10 NY (NY-Marilyn)
1.73 (Paris-Marilyn)________________1.77 (Paris-Marilyn)
5'8/1.73 (Milan-d'management)_______5'10/1.78 (Milan-d'management)

I think Naomi is about 5'8-5'8.5, and the photo of Kate with L. Lohan seems both measure the same height.
To me Kate only reaches to 5.6 early in the morning, so during the day should be about 5'5.
Dino says on 1/Mar/11
I am only 5'10 and I walked past her at Heathrow airport, and I was shocked at how short she was for a model. I would say 5'6 tops. My 5'8 wife was way taller. It was also funny seeing the poor flunky she had carrying all her luggage
Kitty says on 5/Feb/11
Er No, I have osteoperosis from prelonged use of diet pils and not eating, let that be a warning to other young girls.
domino27 says on 29/Jan/11
she is short. Thats why people always said that short girls can also model, its because of katt moss. But you need to be extra special if you want to sucess though. Don't care if she is 5'4 or 5'5 or 5'6, she's still make big money in this industry.
Phaedra says on 10/Jan/11
I met her once in LA. We were both in flats. I'm 5ft7. We were almost exatly the same height. She's 5ft7. She may be 5ft6.5 at the SHORTEST. The only reason she seems petite is because she's constantly in the company of other models who are around 5ft11 so she's short in comparison. But compared to the average woman she's actually pretty tall.
Phaedra says on 10/Jan/11
Kitty - that's crazy. You must have some kind of hereditary bone loss deficiency or something. I too used to model and most of the girls I lived with were either bulimic or heavily dependent on cocaine, but I never heard of them losing over an inch of height in their 20's. I'm ashamed to admit that I struggled with both an eating disorder and drug problems to help me stay thin. It was horrible for my body but even I didn't lose any height. In fact I grew an inch at 21 yrs old. That's crazy that u said you lost an inch of height in your 20s!
Kitty says on 1/Jan/11
Sak I think you might be a little wrong, I know plenty of models because of drug abuse and eating disorder have lost height in their late 20s early 30s. I myself have lost about an inch. I started modeling at 14, by the time I was 21 I had started sprouting hips and boobs, i took these diet pills that were the in thing amongst models during those times, turns out they were a form of speed, im paying the consequences now all these years later, I have osteo problems and have lost an inch of height, and im younger than Moss, At 13/14 I was 5ft11, im now a incy bit under 5ft10. Take it from me, eatind disorders and drug abuse are rife in this industry, and they do affect your bones, loss of height being a symptom
leonari says on 28/Dec/10
SAK: Moss wishes to be a full 5'6". She is the exception of the rule that models are tall.
SAK says on 28/Dec/10
Kitty says on 18/Dec/10
I clearly remember her being measuered at Westwood as 174cm, ive been on the same runway shows as her, same parties, same gigs etc, ive been in her company quite alot.She maybe a little shorter now because of age.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you realise we dont lose height in our 30's, or even 40's, (unless u have had an accident or something), You start to lose height much later

I think Moss is a 5ft6, no lower
Joanna says on 28/Dec/10
I am 5 ft 6 (168 cm),and when i met her she was quite shorter than me ,i give her 5 ft 5 (164-165 cm) !
Kitty says on 18/Dec/10
I clearly remember her being measuered at Westwood as 174cm, ive been on the same runway shows as her, same parties, same gigs etc, ive been in her company quite alot.She maybe a little shorter now because of age. Shes not always in heels, infact when she was going out with Docherty and on the london music social seen, I frequently saw her in black flat mockison suede boots, she wore them all the time, and she is most deffinetley not under 5ft7, I think she is 5ft7 straight now, she is about an inch shorter than 5ft8 Agyness Deyn, and about the same height as Alexa Chung, these are people ive been in the company of on the London social seen, and I know how tall they are
James says on 16/Dec/10
She is 5'7" (169cm)

Guinness Book Of Records measured her.
Get over it people.
Jess says on 14/Dec/10
Kitty, 170cm=5'7. 171cm=5'7 1/2. 172cm is about 5'8 but still a little under. 173cm=5'8. 174cm=5'8 1/2. 175cm=5'9.
If you're still unsure, check out some celebs who are 5'8 & some who are 5'7 1/2 [rob also adds how many cm their height equals]. Im thinking kate is just a tab bit under 5'6..Shes seems very tiny
crazynetboy says on 14/Dec/10
no way , she doesnt have 174, near to naomi she is very short and naomi is 177 3 cm is not so much ..even carolyn murphy is taller than kate! she is for sure 170 not much
zwip says on 1/Dec/10
dana : he has shoes too :
1,75 +3=>1,78 , 1,67 +7=> 1,74 , 1,78-1,74 = 4cm ?
claudia says on 30/Nov/10
wow shes very beautiful and about 5'6
i hate the way her agency tried to claim she was 5'8 when she really is more like 5'5
dana says on 29/Nov/10
yes but she doesnt look THAT short... i dont know, she is very thin and that gives her extra height, but i dont know, she cant be only 5'4,it seems..strange
jtm says on 26/Nov/10
dana that's because she is not since depp is actually 5'8 so that would make her 5'4.
dana says on 25/Nov/10

well if he`s 1,75 tall, and she`s 1,67- 1,70, and she`s wearing high heels, why isn`t she the same height as he is?
Kitty says on 25/Nov/10
Would like to agree with Britt, she is spot on with that, agencies do recieve thousands of pictures each week from girls, very beautiful girls, but if you dont reach the required height requirements you are not going to be a runway/ fashion model, Devon Akoi is the only one I can remember and she got in because of her connections, she has a great face though
Anonymous says on 25/Nov/10
Kitty: if ur 4cm taller, then that means ur 5'8 and ur agency uses a ruler that purposely gives models several inches
kitty says on 24/Nov/10
174cm is around 5f7 and a half actually. In 1996 I saw her get measured she was 174cm, and I remember she was about 32,22,32, she has very little waist/hip deffinition to, her legs are quite short with a longer torso, but look longer because she has very little meat on her. I remember her being a chain smoker who are very little, she has a unique face though
paige says on 15/Nov/10
1999 book of guinness world records lists her as 169cm as the worlds shortest supermodel..so i think that would be right.
Jess says on 14/Nov/10
She does look 5'6, 5'6.5 at the most. &Kitty, If kate moss were 174cm like you say, then why on earth would she even claim to be only 5'7? being 174cm tall is right under 5'9.
