I have met Linda Evangelista a number of times and she is certainly not taller than Naomi Campbell at best she is 5'9, I would put her closer to 5'8, she walks very straight and upright and always wore heels and appeared taller. She is not 5'9.5 as she claims, she really is not. Sad to say having met her, she is superficial and full of herself, hopefully as she has gotten older this may have changed, but 5'9.5 she aint

I have to agree with Smoke on this one. I saw Heidi Klum standing next to Deion Sanders, who happens to be a combine 5'11" and she was noticeably shorter than him, and she was in heels. Although I do not know the number of inches her heels were I am comfortable enough to say because of the height difference between her and Sanders that she is not 5'9" or anywhere close to it.

I wouldn't be so sure, of course there is a traditional range or window in which agencies prefer to put their models into, but this is changing, and like I quoted Heidi Klum "EVERYONE lies, so why shouldn't I?", it's not just the shorter models who lie, the taller ones do as well. I for one, don't buy Adriana Sklenarikova's 185 cm claim, and I don't see any decreasing going on there either, even though she claims to be over 6'0". Bottom line, models themselves will always add height no matter how tall they are. Evangelista is no different, I saw her at her induction into the Canadian Walk of Fame and without heals, there is no way she is anywhere near 5'10". Just like I think Sklenarikova is boosting herself, I think Evangelista, and Klum are too. Just like with most people, models will never underestimate or round their own height down...that is unless they are visibly too tall to model, and neither Klum, Evangelista, or Sklenarikova are. I also posted some pictures of Veronica Varekova not quite looking 5'10" beside some 6'2"ish hockey players.

^What I mean is modelling agencies almost never tell the true height of models. If a model is 5'6/5'7, they will probably list her at 5'8. If a model is 5'8, they will probably list her at 5'9 or even 5'10 in some agencies. But of course if a model is over 5'10, they will tell her true height...BUT if a model is over 5'11/6', then they will actually decrease her height. I know about this, believe me. So, I think you should change her height to 5'9.(As I said she might actually be even shorter than that)

She's definitely no taller than 5'9. Go to her modelling agency website: dnamodels.com. They list her as 5'9 and dont forget that modelling agencies lie about height almost always.( they add about 1 or 2 extra inches...) So I would say she is about 5'8.

[Editor Rob: Ah, I'd left her height at the 5ft 9.5 what she said she was. Back in the early 90's beside some of the other models she did look this, but we know that some models might add a 1/2 inch here and there for good measure! Her agency does in fact list some models with 1/2 inch mark and as you say she is 5ft 9 on agency site...maybe they measured her properly recently, or just all those years of heel wearing affected her back to the tune of 1cm ;)]
