I think naomi is real tall,cause im really tall and everywhere i go people say i look like her,im about 5.9 Here says on 22/Sep/08
Right, you sound like you are lying to convince people that you are credible. Pleeease! Don't be so rude. You may have worked at a chef in the restaurant she ate at, but please don't let your imagination run away. Yes, Naomi is 5" 9.5 inches Right says on 4/Sep/08
Anonymous you are a complete idiot. I have worked with Naomi many times and had to take her measurements many times including her height. She is exactly 5'9 1/5". You should know what you are talking about if you are going to speak with such conviction, moron! yoney says on 11/Aug/08
She looks tall enough to be a model. 5 ft 9.5 sounds just fine. m says on 1/Jul/08
i saw naomi about 10 years ago in greece. i saw her at the beach, she was laying on her towel. she looked quite big, but thats the only thing that i can tell because i didnt stand next to her so i can tell for sure. Rocky says on 20/Apr/08
Most people nowadays stop growing vertical height at 16, girls at 12, quite literally. Weight-wise is a different story though. john says on 2/Apr/08
i was 5'2 around 16 and doctors were surprised how open my growth plates were. now around 21, i'm around 5'7-5'8. guess they were right! sweetchari says on 28/Mar/08
She is definitely a 5'9.5" woman no doubt about it and why would her agency lie? Plus you really cant do high fashion if you are too much shorter than that. Sabrina says on 20/Nov/07
I have worked with Naomi Campbell, my sister is 5'8 and Naomi is unquestionably taller than 5'8, I was helping her fix sometihng and we were both barefoot and she towered over me, yes it is true models lie about there height but I can categorically say to you, she is taller than 5'8, 5'9.5 minimum, I worked with her for over week, and was with her alot, she is very tall. And contrary to the rumors she was really really nice, she was so kind and thoughful to me and treated me really well. In all honestly I believe 5'9.5 or a bit more is accurate for her, as my boyfriend at that time we worked together was 5'10 and they were certainly similiar height. No way is she 5'8. hey babe says on 3/Oct/07
is he that tall Kena says on 2/Oct/07
Ok I work for a catering company and we catered a party in the hamptons, and Naomi was at one of them, I'm 5'8 and she was taller than me and she wasn't wearing heels. Anonymous says on 28/Sep/07
She's not 5'9.5", more like 5'8.5" if even that. I'm sorry but most people here don't know how much models exaggerate their heights in both directions. If a model is listed at 5'9" she is most likely 5'7"-5'8". How come you never see models listed at 5'8" or 5'7"? Is it because models are all taler than that? No, it's because there's a lot of lying going around. I've heard of cases where a girl who is 5'7"-5'8" is listed at 5'10.5" while a girl that is 5'11" is listed at 5'10". Anonymous says on 30/Aug/07
Naomi is no taller than 5'8. I've watched several pics of her with several other models- Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Eva Herzigova, Adriana Lima, Carolina Kurkova, Milla Jovonich, Gisele Bundchen, Tyra Banks, Nadia Auermann, Christy Turlingon, Elle Macpherson, Iman and she's obviously shorter than all of them. mohit says on 12/Aug/07
hmmm..5"9.5 i dont think so...here is a pic where she is standing beside 5"8 sushmita sen..

she is in no way taller than sush...a bit shorter than her but not taller.. Flower says on 11/Jul/07
Ohh well everyone lies in business. Supermodels always wear shoes with supremely high heels so you can't really judge that. I think they want to be taller to look greater than in fact which is a lie... Celebrities are obviously fake beauties and lie through their minging teeth. Erm.. does anyone wanna marry a celebrity? Hahahaha obviously not! Maria Ana says on 31/May/07
I went to madame tussauds a couple of weeks ago and stand beside her wax doll. I was in flat shoes and "she" was in high heels. I am 1.70m (5'7) and she was only 10cm taller than me. so 10cm of difference minus the 6cm from the shoes, she is 1.74. Laura says on 25/Apr/07
Im 16 years old and im 5ft10.25 (weird i know) thats, 178.4 cm according to a converter but ive grown roughly 1cm in the past four months. Ive always been tall since primary school though and my mothers tall. Im shocked to know that naiomes only 5ft9.5 seeing as i thought catwalk only accepted like the 5ft10-5ft11+ girls *-) hmmm glenn says on 7/Apr/07
5-9 is correct.she was always nice to me. Bud says on 6/Apr/07
She walked past me at a fashion show. She was wearing sandals (it was a sort of summer look). I was surprised at how average her height was. I expected an amazon but I'd say she was 5'8 - 5'9. traladada says on 5/Apr/07
There's not that much height difference between her and Kate Moss, right? I always thought Naomi was way taller (like 4 or 5"), but it's really her hair and her broader shoulders that make her look THAT much taller. I think 5'8" or 5'9" sounds right.
17-18 is just the average age girls stop growing. Some stop at 15, some at 19. I'm 20 and grew 1.5" the last year while I'd been 5'3" from 13 till 18 :-) greta says on 4/Apr/07
modeling agencies are wrong...i'm 21 and i have grown about 1 1/2-2 inches from the age of 17...i'm about 5'8 now. IMGmodL says on 30/Mar/07
actually leonne boys are done growing at around 20...but girls are done growing between 16-18....and considering you are 15 and have 2 more inches (if you actually do) to grow...you'll be done growing by the time you are 17 or 18...most modeling agencies assume that girls are done growing by the time they are around 16-18, hence the reason why they sometimes will take very young girls that are only 5' 7'' assuming they still have an inch or two to grow. glenn says on 23/Mar/07
she was always nice to me.people change. D. Ray Morton says on 23/Mar/07
Friend of mine knows her and told me 5'8"-5'8˝". Also said she's "really sweet." (Is "sweet" latin for "wretched"?)
It's secondhand info, but that's as close to Ms. Campbell as I care to get. leonne says on 14/Mar/07
hmm...IMGmodL i dont really agree that by 17 your done growing its more like 20 for boys and girls, i mean im a 5'8.5" 15yr old girl and i had a x-ray a while ago (as i had a minor leg injury) showing my growth plates were still open and the doctor was telling i have at least 2ins left to grow, but i guess it depends really kissy says on 23/Feb/07
Are the statues at Madame tussod in london real height? coze if they're she's 5.7", 170 cm not more than 172!!! randy says on 18/Feb/07
naomi is not 5'9"! she's only around 5'8.5". I watched her at tyra banks show. tyra is 5'10' and it was very obvious that tyra is taller than naomi. they were both wearing pumps. Chris says on 9/Feb/07
I met Naomi Campbell last year during the Fashion Week, and she's no more than 5'8" at most. I'm 5'9" and she was way shorter than me. I don't really care to be honest, but that's what I experienced. IMGmodL says on 22/Jan/07
ChicaBonitha 178 cm is not too tall to be a model, in fact, its quite the perfect height, usually the "perfect" model height is really anywhere between 175-180 cm....and btw if your 17, you're pretty much done growing. ChicaBonitha says on 17/Jan/07
hmmm that's not good...I'm 178 cm...i knew i was too tall...even Naomi Campbell isn't that tall..hahaha i know only differs 1 cm but i'm 17 i still have some growing to do...O god.. Pete says on 18/Dec/06
IMGmodL, there are some mens models at Pradas shows that are 5-10 and their stats say 6'. IMGmodL says on 13/Nov/06
THANK YOU TERRI!!!! I would be a little bit more lenient though and say more between 5'8"-5'11.5" for women and 5'11"-6'2" for men! kiki says on 10/Sep/06
You don't have to be 5'8 or taller to be a model. Kate Moss is a model and she is no more than 5'4. Agencies lie about heights all the time. Heidi Klum admitted too. She claimed to be 177cm, but next to Gwen Stefani who is 5'6, she looks the same height. They where both wearing flats.
Anonymous says on 4/Sep/06
A supermodel doesn't have to be 5''9 to 5''11, they have to be at least 5''8. So she is probably 5''9 or whatever people say. Glenn says on 1/Aug/06
Wrong Terri.they LIE sometimes.Kate Moss is 5-4.5-9 ish is correct on Naomi though.nothing more marat.thats Bungalow 8.Im always there.say hello if you see me. marat says on 31/Jul/06
i met her i am 5'10 we were both barefoot and she was an inch taller than me.maybe two Terri says on 7/Jun/06
I swear you people are sooooo ignorant. A SUPERMODEL has to be between 5'9 and 5'11! It's an industry standard! She is 5'9.5! I have met her several times @ bungalo 6 in NYC. She is not short at all! §Nateż says on 10/May/06
I love how z and kats ALWAYS try to degrade celebrity heights for some reason, maybe cause they're short and they wanna make themselves feel better to discredit celeb heights? I'm not sure but anyways my girl who's in the modeling gig isn't big yet and stands at 5'9 has met naomi briefly once and has stated she's a little taller like 5'10 and she looks it 2 standing next to 5'9 mariah she looks a good 5'10 Kats says on 13/Apr/06
Since I think Beyonce is taller now, Naomi might be 5'8. I still think around 5'7 though. Maybe 5'7.5. Her attitude is definitely 10'10 though. Ujane, Moscow says on 12/Apr/06
It is all the same for me is she 174 or 177 - she looks fine, her posture is great, I like this blue-eyed panter! Don`t ya`ll too? Kats says on 5/Apr/06
I think Naomi is 2 inches taller than Beyonce. I didn't want to judge their heights while they're walking because different strides make a difference and I could be off. But Z's second link suggests Naomi is 2 inches taller at the most. I did take into account Beyonce's hair, and Naomi's slouch.
I've said this a lot lately, but Beyonce has been found out to be probably no more than 5'5 (see her page where she is pictured with Glenn). I think she's 5'4.5. So I wouldn't be surprised if Naomi is a little under 5'7! I'll give her 5'7 for now though.
I remember always feeling heights for models were always legitimate, but now I feel like lying is just as strong for models as for other celebrities. Nrcorkr says on 3/Jan/06
Keep in mind, though, that in those catwalk photos, Beyonce's fluffy wig adds about an inch to her height, whereas Naomi's is flat. It also looks to me as if Naomi is slouching a bit. (Notice how her neck appears short, and her chin casts a prominent shadow on it...her head must be thrust forward at least slightly.) I'd say there's up to a three-inch difference between the two, so if Beyonce is 5'6", Naomi is around 5'9". The first link 'Z' posted best shows this. britop says on 7/Dec/05
She's dramatically shorter than Tyra at the VS Fashion show. I don't think she could go over 5'8" reasonably. LMAO says on 22/Nov/05
i met her many times and shes between 5-8 and 5-9 no more than that. rr says on 10/Nov/05
i am 178cm and when i went to madam tussauds i took a pic with her wax model. she was around 1/2 an inch shorter than me but with her heels on! Z. says on 8/Nov/05
Editor, if her agency is saying 176 cm, why are you still listing her at 177cm? She could even be under that, you know, we all know that agencies lie=))) So i think you should downgrade to 176 cm.
[Editor Rob: they list in half inch measures and probably round down in converting to cm...] What says on 2/Nov/05
She really is only 5'7-8". She is shorter than Iman, who I met last night and asked her what her real height was. She said "almost 5'9" (which means 5'8" - and I'm 5'8" and she was dead on with me). ~Nate~ says on 10/Oct/05
Looking at pics of her and 5'9 Mariah as well as 5'6 Beyonce, I'd say Naomi is pushing the 5'11 Mark!! Blue says on 3/Sep/05
Do you notice how taller models like Naomi Campbell have smaller feet? To understand me better, take these few examples: Naomi Campbell wears a size 9 shoe, Cindy Crawford wears a 9.5 and Gia Carangi wore a 8.5 shoe. These are all tall models. My neighbor, who is 5'6.25" female wears size 11 shoes. It just seemed weird how petite models feet actually are, or my neighbor is bigfoot. Nate says on 18/Aug/05
Actually I met Naomi at a shoot in canada and not only is she very beautiful in person shes very tall! I'm 6'0 and she was wearing maybe 3 inch heels and I was barely to her shoulder! Im guessing she is maybe 5'11 without the heels. Seh's very tall. Woodi says on 29/Jun/05
No, he isn't shorter. Because when he was in Germany at "Wetten, dass..." he was nearly so tall like Thomas Gottschalk and Thomas is something about 1,90 cm.
And in a video of Usher, she was standing next to him and was one head taller then him!! And Usher is 178-180 cm.
So she has to be taller then 177 cm!! Viper652 says on 28/Jun/05
If shes taller then Will Smith, then that would confirm Smith is shorter then 6-2. Woodi says on 28/Jun/05
On a picture she was bigger than Will Smith and Will is 6'2.
I don't believe that she is 5 ft. 9.5 in!!!! Never ever!!!!! Massimo says on 12/May/05
And what about Andre' Rousimoff ? At the beginning of his career they use to say he was 7'7", a few years later 7'5", then 7'4", then 6'9" 1/2 ! That's the reason I started calling him Andre' the Midget ! Smoke says on 4/May/05
Yes Raz I fully agree with you! I am of Northern European decent and in Finland, where I have roots, the average height for the male population is 5'10", however I have been informed by our Finnish height informant Lmeister that the average young Finnish male is 182 cm (almost 6 foot). From my visits to Finland I have never noticed the young people to be particularly tall, in fact I noticed that in Finland people were generally a little bit shorter than in the neighbouring countries of Russia and Sweden. But yes, generally in Northern Europe, and generally in many parts of Europe the average height is generally higher than in say the US. BTW for hockey fans out there, to me there is a noticeable difference between the Finnish national team and teams like Canada or Russia as far as height and size goes. It might be the uniform's effects or what not, but it looks like this to me. Raz says on 3/May/05
Let's not forget that these heights aren't at all abnormal in any way.
For "white" women in the US, around 5% of the adult population is taller than 5'8", and probably around 2-3% are at Naomi's official height or above. And other ethnicities have higher or lower height percentiles. Massai women, for instance, have female average heights of over 5'11"!
Also, in northern Europe in general, people are, on average, taller than in the US.
The average for young male adults in Sweden (where I'm from) is 179.5 cm, or close to 5'11".
In the US, that average is just over 5'9". Ethnicity could play a part in this, of course, but averages are still averages. What is normal in one place might seem abnormal in another.
Palladium says on 3/May/05
Couldn't agree, more like Smoke 5'9.5"/10" with heals yes. Anyway, she looks to be a tall woman, even 5'8" is sensibly tall as a woman. Smoke says on 2/May/05
Pretty interesting post Z.! Her "official height" is 5'9".5" yet she is listed just about everywhere at 5'10", picture her minus the heals in this shot and you have a girl who is probably 5'8" at best (she still looks an inch shorter than Beckford even in heals). Again the 5'10" is most certainly a fabrication.
Some of us say that women aren't quite as guilty as men when it come to lying about height, yet I think the modelling world would even make Hollywood heights look credible.

Yes,the official height is 5'9.5 = Campbell, Naomi#
Height: 5'9-1/2"
Bust-waist-hips: 34-23-32 ( Alt.supermodels frequently asked questions) Z. says on 2/May/05
Her official height, (at which her modelling agency lists her) is 5'9.5 BUT all the people who saw her in person say she is about 5'8/5'9. So, I think( and I'm quite sure) that she is 5'9. Smoke says on 2/May/05
Boy, this is one person who's REAL height I'm dying to know! Could she quite possibly fit into the "everyone" that Heidi Klum refers to in the modelling world? Could she be one of the very rare breed of models who is honest about their height, let's just say past cases are not on her side! But next to Tyson Beckford, she does look atleast relatively close to this. |
