She has long legs. 5ft8 seems legit for her. Not any higher though.

5'9" now I think, she's a skinny girl and despite her height, she wouldn't weigh 137lbs at 5'8", she's a celeb after all. I agree with Ally that if the claim was made age 17, she would have grown, but her claim would've been when she was 17. She was probably about 5'6.25 when she was 15, 5'7.25 at 16, 5'8" at 17, 5'8.5" at 18 and 5'9" by 19.

She's clearly 174 to 175 cms. She said she was 5'8 when she was 17 years old. At that age, people don't get measured very often. She was probably relying on measurements from a year or two ago. Definitely taller than 173cms now.

She looks every bit of 5' 10" to me. Girls today are much taller than 20 years ago. There is a 16 year old at my church who is already 6' 4" and she is beautiful. I am 5' 11" myself and my husband is 6' ". We make a very striking couple. Tall ladies should be proud of their height. It's a beauty feature.

First of all she said she is 5'9 which makes sense when you see her and chris and she has heels on they are the same height..he is 6'0 or 6'1 he said so. And in the video of her and T.I he had to stand on wood to bee as tall as he they showed it i the making of the video on much music.

Hey guys I work at an airline, and last year had the opportunity to escort Rihanna to her plane, and she was no taller than 5'7 MAX, her heels were about three inches tall, and she was about 5'9.5 with them, so barefoot, I'd say 5'7, 5'6.5

because of the way models perpetuate heights when they say sum1 is 5'10" u expect 2 see a tree or sumfin but in reality u are not suppose to be as tall as a tree. but to be very clear women hardly ever get to 5'10" and even men hardly get to 5'10"

Where did you come up with this 5'6 listing for T.I. He claims 5'9, which I seriously doubt, but I know I've never seen a 5'6 listing. Is this just your estimate, or do you have source to show this number?

I don't even think 5'10 is really tall, dont worry about it, I see lots of girls that height, I'd say starting at 6' is really tall for a women. and trust me 5'9 doesn't even look really tall at all these days.

I saw her in real life outside of MuchMusic and the first thing I thought was "my god, she is tiny", like most celebs. She was in kicks and was probably 5'4 max. She is usually in 4 inch heels so everyone thinks she's tall. She's not.

Good pic Rob. There is a music video of that song they performed where they are all standing next to each other in a straight line. Rihanna is clearly the tallest, and there are several 5'6" to 5'8" range girls there like Mariah, Beyonc and Ciara.
That pic actually doesn't fully highlight how tall Rihanna looks in the video because she is so far from the camera. But it does highlight how Ciara is also wearing massive heels, yet still looks plenty shorter than Rihanna in the video.

I never said you can't get more than 3 inches out of heels. Some of those pictured with the thick platform, I can certainly see her getting between 4 and 5 inches.
However (a) the talk of 7 or 8 inch gains is ridiculous
(b) I still don't see more than 3 inches excluding the platform, simply because I have measured someone wearing heels equally steep as all of those pictured, and I know for a fact she gains 3 inches of height.
Rihanna is a solid 5'8" and I'm happy to see Rob not responding to the downright ridiculous comments on this page and keeping her height at 5'8"

there are some big heels amongst those girls, ones that do give 3.5-4 inches.

In my opinion, Rihanna 's around 1m73 or 1m72. Just see the live performance of divas in "Stand up to cancer". Ciara was listed 1m72 and was wearing extremely huge heels, I think may be 15cm, and rihanna was wearing 12cm heels, but rihanna was still an inch taller!!!.
I think wearing heels to much make her become shorter. Heels are not good for legs and spine since they can cause a lot of pressure on these part of the body.

When i watched her on tou her heels were not high and she was still towering above all of her dancers who were also wearing heels.She has also always looked quite tall in her videos, so i think she must be at least 5'7 or 5'8 and probably taller.

Timberlake was wearing big shoes with Rihanna but Rihanna was wearing massive heals in her video with him and he was just a touch taller. Those shoes are massive Lana. They sure give more than 3 inches. I would say at least 6inches. It is hard to say maybe 8 inches. Similar to stripper shoes with the platform of about 2 inches in front. Again her feet are in a balerina position of vertical. The front of those shoes are occupied by just her toes. 5ft 8 just doesn't make sense she would tower of Timberlake in shoes like those but she does not and many people think Timberlake is just 5ft10-6ft tall. He certainly isn't in the 6ft1 to 6ft2 range. 5ft6 makes a lot of sense for Rihanna though. It is tall but not very tall and those platforms heels would give her something of around 6ft ish.
M.P. how do you only think she is 5ft 10 in heels and 5ft 8 without those aren't 2 inch heels. That makes absolutely no sense.

Now as for Justin Timberlake, I do not trust him. I but him in the Tom Cruise category. Sometimes he gives the image of 5'10, other times he look 6'1. I think that dude wears lifts, but I digress...
I can buy Rihanna being under 5'8, it's the under 5'7 I have a problem with.

me: No, I was talking about heels without a platform. If you don't have a platform, you won't get much more than three inches. But, these shoes have very large platforms. Of course, she'll get more than 3 with those.
I don't know the exact dimensions of those shoes, but the platform looks about 1.5-2 inches. The heels, minus the part that's the same height as the platform, will probably add an additional 2.5 inches. So, at the bare minimum, she will get 4, more than likely 4.5 inches.
I don't own those shoes, so I don't know for sure. But, comparing them to many other shoes, it's a decent estimate. I doubt she's ONLY 2 inches taller, or something crazy, like 6 inches taller.

Oh, I'm not saying the girl doesn't wear some hella heels. But, I have seen bigger, i.e. Shakira. What I would like to see is her in those big shoes, next to someone with a relatively known height (good angles, of course). If the person is like 5'10, and she's shorter, I will agree with you. I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong, but I really haven't seen any hard evidence. The smallest I've seen is 5'7, which is still pretty tall for an American woman.

The best pics to use are those where you can see the whole body, and have a straight angle.
Those pics with Kanye aren't horrible, but they could be better.
At the moment, I can't see under 5'7 for Rihanna.

Ian said on 30/Nov/08
Rihanna also wears platformed heels as well, I don't get where some of you think she does not and she wears some of the biggest non platform shoes going. She even walks on her tiptoes ballet style in the umbrella video, like a vertical position with her feet. She can get to heights a normal non ballet person can't get to. Her feet have trained to get into massive heels.

It's funny, as soon as you ask for some proof on this site, you get insults instead. "Fashion knowledge zero." How would you know that? Half of the posters may have degrees in the field. Just stick to the topic.
The fact is, regardless as to what I or Big T says we've gotten, and what you and the other side has gotten, Rob has posted pictures. He's the only one that has posted pictures on this subject. Talk is cheap on this site. Hell, people have claimed they saw a 5'2 Brad Pitt, and 4'11 Angelina Jolie. So, excuse people for being skeptical, but pictures are usually given. I'm in agreement with Rob, and have gotten similar results, so I don't need to post the same thing.
But, since so many people are in disagreement with him, post some evidence to refute what he's saying. Going back and forth with nothing to show for it is stupid.

Well, I AM a woman, so I can back up Rob's heel experiment. I have some pretty massive heels, but am never a great deal taller than my 5'3. Platforms will of course get you the full height, but not heels. Maybe, you should read his article, and do the test while using an actual measuring stick. I laugh at all of the people that think 4 inches of heel will get you 4 inches taller.

Also, when she was on Tyra, she wasn't that much shorter than her. Are you going to tell me that Tyra is only 5'7-5'8? Nonsense. Most of the celebs on here have inflated heights, but this is not the case. I think some of thi may be jealousy. I don't know why, because I would hate to be tall.
PS. I think many of the people here need to read Rob's heel height truth article. Even the biggest shoe will only get you around 3 inches. Besides Asian platforms, they are almost never over an inch and a half. So the maximum a person will be getting is 4.5 inches. These are what I call Shakira shoes. Rihana wishes her heels were as big as Shakira's.

Heels don't accomplish that major of a height difference. In heels, she is around 6-7 inches taller than him. Even if Wentz is 5'5 in shoes, a 5'5-5'6 woman will not look 5'11-6'0 in heels.

I watched Rihanna's joint concert with Chris Brown here in my country last November 16. When she had a duet with Chris Brown on the last song, she looked 2 inches shorter than Chris with almost 3 inch boots and Chris is 6'1"-6'2". So Rihanna may be a legit 5'8".

Thanks Jad that is what I've been saying about 5ft6". She can't be taller than 5f8 like you say. Somewhere between 5ft6 and 5ft8 would be where she is. It is hard to tell though as she is a big heel wearer. I've seen her without the heels wearing trainers and she doesn't look that tall.

p.s. maybe she looked shorter cause she was kinda meaty at the bottom. her legs looked stumpy last night. i'm not jealous- i guess she's gained a bit of weight. could have given the illusion that she was shorter though

I just watched her in concert last night-wasn't wearing heels but boots. She's a lot shorter than I thought she'd be. Definitely not taller than 5'9. Probably around 5'7.5-5'8.

Big T comparing Rihanna with Miley Cyrus what the heck she's like around 5ft tall, of course she is going to look tall next to her and Rihanna wears bigger heels than her and yeah they are more than just the plain 3 inch heels you're so ever familar with. My girlfrind has several pairs of heels that add more than 3 inches. Some add 5.5 inches to her height and she is a size 4. Heck her boots add 3 inches and her wedges add about 4.5" we have measured her with the on and with the off and subtract the difference. No imaginary lines drawn halfway down the heel??ROB?? which is just guesswork.

did anyone see all of those female singing stars lined up for that "stand up 2 cancer" song? Amazing opportunity for height comparisons
I think Rihanna might even be a little underlisted here as, out of about 12-15 famous singers, she was the tallest by miles. She towered Mariah Carey, Ciara and Beyonce, and she was 6 inches taller than Miley Cyrus, who was standing next to her. And Miley was in heels! Rihanna was, of course, wearing some huge-ass heels, but all of the women were wearing heels of some sort. Watch the video, she can't be under 5'8", no way. In comparison to the others she looked 5'10" and that's taking into account that they were ALL wearing heels
I also think she's a tad underlisted here. She's nothing under 5'8" that's for sure. She's more around 5'9" IMO.

All this discussion about heel height - when women (or men!) wear heels, the back arches to compensate the balance so you don't get the full height. There are some other factors which lose the full heel height as well I would guess but I can't think of them.
The higher the platform, in general, the more the wearewr will be raised.

im 5ft2 with size 4 feet and i can reach way past the 3 inch mark, rob can only get to 2.85 what size feet does he have
no shes have no platform at all at the front, they always have some kind of base, ive got a pair of high heels that make me 5ft8 and im 5ft2

Measuring a mark on your ankle bone and putting heels on and measuring the mark on your ankle bone relative to the ground is incorrect way as seen in the elevator shoe article because the ankle bone moves forward as you pivot your foot giving an incorrect measurement. I've measured my girlfriend using this technique and the by True measurement is by top of the head to the ground and the top of head measurement and there is a discrepancy. Always measure the height shoes give by top of height. After all that is your true height.

With or w/o heels she's kinda tall. She's almost 6ft with her heels on so 5'8" makes alot of sense. And she's got to be taller than Beyonce', who really isn't that tall to begin with. If Rihanna is 5'6 then Beyonce' is only like 5'3!!...doesnt make much sense does it? So yea i'll take 5'8 b/c she's taller than me and Im almost 5'7.

ok, here's an example of heels that give less than 3 1/2 inches
Click Here
Note the added inch of heel at the front, and the severity of the angle your foot needs to be at. Now, please show me a heel which gives over 4 inches.

ok, I just checked
Height of the stem on my gf's highest heels- 5 inches
Height from bottom of stem to top of shoes (where my gf's ankle would be)- 7.5 inches!
Platform at front- about 1 inch
Actual height increase- about 3 1/3 inches
Seriously, these are some heavy duty heels, the angle is severe and they regularly attract comments. The full height from top to bottom is 7.5 inches- but the actual height she gains is only 3 1/3 inches. Once again, I suggest reading Rob's heel height article to understand why. Unless you are in full ballerina mode, or have huge feet, you can't gain more than 3 inches from flat-foot to full tip-toe position....anything extra comes from the platform at the front of the shoe

Rhonda, my GFs heels are over 5" (I measured)and that doesn't include the front either.
However, the ACTUAL HEIGHT she gets is just over 3 inches.
Seriously, read Robs heel height article if you don't understand.
My gf is 5'7" and has a US size 8 foot, she weighs less than 120lbs and is completely obsessed with high fashion- so it's not as if she's short/cumbersome/bad balance/small feet, and she certainly knows what she's talking about. She has told me that she can't buy higher heels than this (without platforms) and that the severe foot angle required for her to wear them is the maximum possible.
My point is the actual heel height on these heels is 5-6 inches, but you only actually gain about 3 1/2" max in real height.

ok big T i think you have no idea what you are talking about, im a female and ive got at least 10 pairs of shoes that give me at LEAST 4 inches they dont have plat forms at the front either oh and they arnt the biggest shoes i have either, no shoe is completely flat at the front
as for your gf and her 'mega heels' im sorry but if shes only getting less than 3.5 inches then they are NOT mega heels
ive got a challenge for you, go into a womans shoe store and take a look at all the shoes, take a measuring tape and measure the heel on them and i bet you will find at least half of them to be 4 inches or more

I'm just going to have to say I don't believe you and leave it at that
I actually went and measured myself at full flat-footed height, and then at full tip-toes stretch, and it was only 4 inches. I couldn't walk around like that either.
My girlfriend is 5'7", she has a size 8 foot and only reaches 5'10 1/2" (actually a fraction less) in MEGA HEELS. She is an avid heal-wearer and said those are the biggest heels she can get.

Big T, I can gain 6-7 inches and that is not even on my tiptoes not even full stretch of the feet, I'm no ballerina lol, I have a size 11 UK(12 USA). Anyway Rihanna can stand like a ballerina on tip toes. The umberella song is a good example to what she can get to with her footwear. Sara agrees and she is a woman. My girlfriend can get to over 5ft8 with non-plantform stiletto. She is 5ft2 in the morning, she has a size 4-5 UK foot. My girlfriends sister can to 6ft in stiletto heels and she is 5ft5-6. It's really suprising to what they can get to in heels like that. Unless you know a woman height before shoes, It's really hard to guess theie heights when they are in footwear like that. My girlfriend's dad was like what are you wearing those for to her when she was like his height when she is usually a small thing.

Ian, when I stand on my tiptoes, absolute maximum, I gain 4 inches over barefoot (3 inches or less over shoes!). I just measured.
I wear a size 11 US shoe! I doubt Rihanna's feet are bigger than that.
You can't gain more than 4 inches over barefoot unless there is some sort of lift/platform.

5ft 6-7 in my opinion. She wears massive stiletto heels. It depends on the size of someone's foot what would be the maximum lift they could get off a custom made stiletto heel. A quick search reveals some really big non platform stilettos in the region of 6 inches to 7 inches. The height those would give would be a little less than that though as that is that back of shoe. It could get her up to the 6ft region with them on.

Here's Rihanna and T.I. Now, even taking 3 inches of footwear difference into account (which would only be possible if Rihanna was wearing mega platform heels, given that T.I. also has shoes on), she still has to be minimum 5'8". The way she is leaning is insane....she can't be shorter than him unless she's actually standing on a box

"sara says on 1/Sep/08
Of course there are heels that add 4-5 inches and riri is often wearing those.Just find her photos on kids choice awards...and see her heels there.I couldn't beleive that she could walk on those!!!!!"
No there aren't! Not unless they also have a platform
Stand on your tiptoes as tall as possible, you will see you only gain maybe 3 1/2" inches. Therefore, you can't gain more than that in heels unless they are platform.
My fiancee, who is a shade over 5'7", has an enormous pair of heels, the highest she could get....if they were any steeper she wouldn't be able to put them on. They may be the best part of 5" high at the back, but this doesn't mean they add 5" of height!
Also, when women are in heels in pics, the guys will probably be wearing dress shoes. The footwear advantage is only about 2 inches! My 5'7" fiancee is still over an inch shorter than me in mega-heels, and I'm only 5'10 1/2".

Chris in that pic- 6' + shoes=6'1"
Rihanna in that pic- Maybe 6'
Wearing heels- Give her around 3 inches from barefoot (heels don't give much more than this....there is no such thing as 5 or 6 inch heels, they don't give that much height!)
Therefore, that pic is yet more proof that Rihanna is between 5'8" and 5'9"!

You people need to realise, no matter how big her heels, unless they are platform she is only gaining between 2-3 inches on a guy wearing normal feetwear
If Rihanna is under 5'8" then Pete Wentz is under 5'4"

For me, I kept growing until I was 20 years old (stopping at 6ft). It is very possible in the last three years she continued to grow. I thought she was shorter than the 5'8 she says she is, just based on a few pictures I had seen. But now that I've taken a closer look, I would believe she's 5'8. Especially since my sister is that height and has shorter arms and legs which make her look shorter than she really is, too.

she is 5'8" and nothing else, the girl is tall, why do you think she gets to the same height as many 6'0-6'1" people on the red carpets. She is always on a 5"-6" & her minimum is 4" heels. At many events she is the same height as Chris Brown's height when in her heels and Chris Brown is 6'1" for real. for a guy 5'8" might be the shorter side of average but for a woman that is real tall any woman from 5'7" is tall period!

At many events she is the same height as Chris Brown's height when in her heels and Chris Brown is 6'1" for real. for a guy 5'8" might be the shorter side of average but for a woman that is real tall any woman from 5'7" is tall period!

I'm not the one getting defensive, nor am I being rude. It seems that you're the one taking offense to my post. I just simply stated that if she was wearing 8" heels it would add 7" (6.5" at the very least), not 5". And yes, Beyonce does wear massive heels, but usually they are 5" max during an event. 6-7" are usually in her music videos (which I stated before), and she's not frantically dancing in them, just posing or whatever else she does in her videos. I was making the point that Beyonce, an obvious massive heel wearer doesn't wear 8" heels (and most often than not she does wear larger heels than Rihanna-- it makes sense since she's also shorter). Besides, you simply cannot walk in 8" heels. They are usually for show only (unless you're in Japan, but those are 8" massive platform boots-- a huge difference).
Also, I didn't say Rihanna wasn't wearing big heels (it's obvious since since she looks around Brendan Fraser's height in the pictures), but they would be within range. 4"-5" tops, and even then she looks over 6' in them. So, again, the woman is clearly in the tall range, even with large heels. The 5'6" and under claims are ridiculous.

C., that was just my observation. I never said it added 8 inches, if they were 8 inch heels. All I know is that the heels were big. There's no way they didn't add a good number of inches. That was why I said 5 inches. And the front of the shoes were platforms. Stop getting so rude and defensive about it. It's a forum and I can disagree if I want to.
Earlier you stated, "Beyonce does wear massive heels. I've even seen her with 6-7" inchers in her music videos which is just baffling." But there's no way Rihanna would apply to this? Please stay consistent with your arguments.

Do you know what 8" heels look like? Hardly ANY woman can walk in those (not even Beyonce, not to mention they usually are in platforms since they are so huge). And if she was wearing that large of a heel and was 5'11", she's be 5'4-5", as an 8" heel would not give 5", but nearly 7".
And if she's 5'8"-9", why would she tower over Jessica Alba who's 5'6"? That's only a couple of inches. Not to mention the angles are terrible in that photo and you can't really judge much of anything, but even then, with Rihanna further out from the picture, she still has a few inches on Alba. However, both of them also don't have the best posture either. In short, the picture tells nothing.

Not to be difficult, but I've seen other pictures of her with Brendan Fraser. She was not the same height as him. I don't know about the angle of the ones posted here because in other ones of that event, where they are both standing straight, she looked around 5'11 in really tall heels. If you saw her footwear, I would say it added around 5 inches even though they were 8 inch heels.

That's the equivalent of around 133 lbs. She's more in the range of 145-150 (which isn't bad at all for her height), but she yo-yos so sometimes it's hard to tell. She has a thin upper body but solidly built legs so it's possible that she was that when she debuted (looked smaller at the time in general).
But the pic with Brendan Fraser gives it away (who is 6'3" according to this site). She's 5'9" (she even looks taller than that actually), but doesn't always stand up straight so she looks shorter. No way is she average height at all. Even during the Grammys or VMAs or during some music awards she looked nearly identical in height to Jay-Z in heels. That's why the 5'6" stuff is just nonsense. Anyone can see the woman is tall. Also, who says she couldn't have grown since her debut? Many women stop growing at 14-16 years of age, but not all.

what kind of heels should se wear to be almost as tall as Brendan Fraser? she looks 6'1-6'2 there. you know, 8 inch heels - thats just too much. Fraser is what, 6-3 or something? so you got it. and we all know that 8 inch heels don't normally add 8 inches of height, see heel truth section on this site. so she IS tall. she had been saying shes 5-9 in a few magazine interviews i read. also, i read "almost 5-10" for her. this girl need an upgrade rather than downgrade imo.

Beyonce does wear massive heels. I've even seen her with 6-7" inchers in her music videos which is just baffling. You also can't see weather or not she's posing with her knee bent or anything. She is not 5'5-6".
What I do know is that she and Ciara aren't the same height nowadays. Ciara looks taller. So if she is indeed 5'8", Ciara is 5'9" at least.

Guys, doesn't the photo down below of her and 5'9 Pharell tell the truth? Just look at Nana's post on November 3, 2007. The guy is 5'9 and she is wearing high heels and is the same height as him. There is no excuse for that one. A lot of people make up stories of seeing people in person. She's 5'6 and until I see her in person, I will believe that.

Some of you guys make it seem like 5'8"-5'9" is extreme Amazon tall. For younger people, it's not that big. Any of you ever stop and think that's sort of offensive to those around that height?
Exactly. If 5'8"-9" is extreme Amazon tall, well then I'm also an extreme Amazon. And the women over 6' are just 'giants'. Seriously people, runway models are usually between 5'9" - 6' tall and no one says anything about them (as 5'8" is short regarding that), not to mention WNBA players whom are much taller. However, I'm not going to say it's by any means short or the norm, but it's not uncommon.
@ Sasha: You've got to be kidding. If she is 5'8", she is by no means 'average'. She's tall, but not extremely so. However, I still think she's 5'9" as during the Grammys she was only a smidgen under Jay-Z in high-heels (who is around 6'2" or a weak 6'2"). Also, you could very well be taller-- I thought I was 5'9" for the longest until I was measured at 5'10" recently. The opposite could also be true as Rihanna could have grown since her debut. Not to mention people often make mistakes when judging others' heights when they have little experience pegging others' height or just aren't good at it. Not saying that you aren't, but it happens all the time. Especially since on this site people have claimed her as low as 5'6" to as tall as 5'10" or so.

If Rihanna was 5'6" (or 5'7" for that matter) she wouldn't have to be leaning or bending so much, especially when she poses with Beyonce. Anyone can clearly tell she's taller than her, unless Beyonce is 5'4" which I highly doubt.

I'm 6' - the reason i was curious about Rihanna's height was in the Shut up and drive video when she was between the 2 cars going back and forth before they started racing she looked like she was where i would stand (flat foot) next to cars like that. I'm not saying she is 6' or anything but in heels she very well could be. (if she's 5'9" thats only a pair of 3 inch/non platform heels) She looks pretty tall for a celeb. in some of the pics i notice her doing some of the things i do in pictures to look a little less like a giant next to shorter people; standing w/ her legs crossed over, leaning forward, bending her knees etc. even at 5'8"/5'9" shes gonna be taller than most female celebs.

I'm new here but I personally think Rihanna is around 5'9" as she claims. I don't think she'd lie about her height (although of course plenty of celebs do, otherwise this site wouldn't exist) as people often comment on her height. And honestly, that's not always a good thing (as it can be quite uncomfortable), unless you're a supermodel wanting to brag about your height.
Being a tall girl myself at 5'9", growing up I was more likely to slouch, and for a time even down-graded my height to around 5'8" unintentionally. Part of this has to do with the fact that tall females are more so than their counterparts to be insecure with their height and sometimes want to appear shorter than they actually are. Now, for males as well as for a short/average height female celebs, it's another story, but I don't think a tall woman like Rihanna is trying to UP her height; quite the contrary.
Those whom have seen her in person, listing her as 5'6" or so seems quite iffy. Especially since she's definitely taller than Beyonce (and people claim her as tall, when she's more or less average height). It also may be best to get your own height checked. (Although, oddly enough the doctor/nurse isn't always accurate either.)
And as for people stating that she couldn't have grown-- well, I grew an inch this past year (hadn't grown anymore since 14, I might add) and I'm nearly 21. So it is still possible for Rihanna to still be growing. And as I mentioned before, Rihanna appears that she would be more likely to down-grade her own height, rather than boosting it. [And for an inch just seems a bit ridiculous.]

I know it's unlikely for her to have grown, but it's a little weird how she at least appears to have grown in comparison with Ciara between May and November.

They both seem to be wearing shoes with big heels in each picture, although I think Ciara's may have been bigger in the first picture. Even then, it looks like they went from about the same height, less than inch either way, probably, to Rihanna being clearly taller. What do you think? Is it their posture or the angle before, or is she really that much taller now?

They both seem to be wearing shoes with big heels in each picture, although I think Ciara's may have been bigger in the first picture. Even then, it looks like they went from about the same height, less than inch either way, probably, to Rihanna being clearly taller. What do you think? Is it their posture or the angle before, or is she really that much taller now?

Sophy having long legs and long arms does not necesarily mean your tall. It just means you have long limbs. Seriously people trying to justify height based on limbs is stupid and not to mention totally irrelevant.
She looks 5'8ish or 5'7ish i dunno. Heres a clip of her on ellen performing SOS. Fast forward to the end where ellen approaches her Click Here . Rihanna is taller than the 5'6 ellen (as stated on this site)

Saw her on the replay of tyra banks show. c'mon guys, she didn't look as tall as tyra. she was SHORTER. one of the karaoke girls was a lot taller than her too. my estimated height for rhianna is 5'7-5'8. also, when she was receiving her final MTV award, she wasn't wearing heels at all! and she looked really short!

I agree with nana. Pharell is 5'9 and she's wearing high heels and does not tower over him.

Just look at her in "Umbrella" video. Her legs look verrrryyyy long, she has looong waist and long arms. Now look at her tiny tiny head! It's impossible, SO it means her head is fine, but her other body parts are extremely long. So it mean she must be very tall. 5'10" can be accurate. And 5'8" isn't tall at all!! So 5'10" looks real.

rihanna is very tall.. she was in toronto and she came to a private party me and my friends were doing for tonic..it was last minute but she managed to make it..she had 3 inch heels and looked to be around 5'10" - 5'11" so definitely 5'8" would be an accurate height. ALTHOUGH.. her structure and body build will of course make her look above 5'8"

Maybe we should agree, that she's 5'10... Bear in mind that Rihanna still is a teenager, and technically still can be growing.

Rihanna must be taller than 5'8. Even taller than 5'9.... Check out picures from "Dsquared Collection Presentation - 09/26/07". She's amazingly tall walking next to the Caten brothers. I know they are not the tallest men in the world, but they are not dwarfs, and Rihanna is still like a head taller at least.

Maybe you should upgrade her height to 5'8 1/2, I think that makes a little more sense, because she can look as tall as 5'9 but sometimes look 5'8 but a little bit taller.

Guys, Beyonce looks very leggy and tall and she's only 5'6. It is very possible that Rihanna is shorter than she claims. I still haven't forgotten the performance with 6' Chris Brown where she is still at least 3 inches shorter in 6 inch heels. And even if the heels don't add 6 inches, they had to have added at least 4 which should have made her 6'0 as well.

If you haven't heard..Rihanna broke her toe and has been wearing a cast on one foot and a high heel shoe on the other foot for about the past 2-3 months. You can see the cast in one of the Mischa Barton photos, and the same thing at the 2007 VMA's..that's why she has been looking shorter as of recent. I think she is 5-9. The link below is her on Ellen's show..she has on regular sneakers..at the very end of the video she is side by side with Ellen..and is 3-4 inches taller than her.

I'm sorry guys, the video is not available anymore, maybe you will find it on youtube if you type "rihanna mtv vma" or something like that, but it's worth watching to speculate on her height.

I dunno mary j blige looks taller than 5'5 to me. I think rihanna is around 5'8 truly and MJG is probably taller than she claims. Some people claim to be shorter just as much as some claim to be taller.

Just to prove my point, did she take off her heels when she took the award? Mary J. Blige (5 ft 5.5) looks considerably much taller than her in this vid!
Pay close attention from 0:30 to 0:45, maybe the people saying 5 ft7 or less aren't off really...

Again, you guys need to check out the VMA's when she received te award for best video of the year. Dr. Dre is 6 ft 1 supposedly, she was wearing heels and he still quite tall next to her, I man he looked 6 ft 2. I think she took off her heels which would explain why he looked 6 ft 2 but still...

6 inch heels do what they're meant to do. My heels certainly add the height they're intended to. That's the first time I've heard anyone say that they don't. But, Rihanna may very well be 5'8, but I would still believe that she was shorter. But 5'6 would be the least since she is definitely leggy.

Editor Rob some manufacturers measure heel height through the stem, others from the very back, there's no uniformity though. Through the stem is closer to actual height of course.

I dunno, she was on the tyra show yesterday and looked about the same height as tyra, maybe an inch shorter. I think shes 5'9. And 6 inch heels dont really add 6 inches of height, just to let u know!

I saw a picture of her next to Chris Brown who is about 6'0 after their VMA 2007 perfomance together. She was three inches shorter in 6 inch heels. She is not 5'8. She is 5'6 at the least. She was the same height as 5'5 Nicole Scherzinger when she received her "single of the year award." You guys would be surprised what heels can do.

i think rihanna is around 5'7. yes she has long legs but shes always wearing huge heels. When you look at photos where mischa barton and rihanna stand next to each other and have almost same heels on you'll see theres a big gap between them like 5-8 cm ....

Well, Ras, unless you are a human osteologist, you can't really say. Fortunately I have studied bones for years and physiologically people continue to grown until their early 20's, the last bone to fuse being the clavicle. Yoga doesn't stretch your bones out, and won't make you taller. Height is genetics; exercise only determines the density of bone, and one who is sedentary (and she is not at all) will still grow taller, but will be weaker, will slouch over etc.

"still has some 2-4 years to grow taller."
Some could argue she wouldn't grow really, with more reason being a girl. Though I bet if she got into some kinda routine like yoga she could grow over 5'9.

Perspective: She has amazingly long legs and an incredibly beautiful form. I think anyone would be abundantly pleased to look like her, and be her height whether she's 5'7" or 5'9" - she ain't short. She is a mere 19 yrs, still has some 2-4 years to grow taller. But anyway, let's face it - she has it all plus or minus an inch!

What's the big deal about an inch? So many people are arguing she's 5'8" and can't be 5'9". An inch is nothing, how can you tell from a picture or a tv show about an inch. I'm 6'2" and I see people in the mall that I think are taller than me, when they walk past me they're way shorter than they appeared from a distance. Unless your face to face with someone it's hard to judge their height.

Everyone agrees she looks more 5'9", so change it to 5'9". One of my girlfriends was that height, so I know what 5'9" looks like. In my opinion it's the tallest a girl can be to not hinder her beauty... If it was down to height, I'd choose caucasian girls between 5'4" and 5'9"... asians can be a lot shorter and still attractive. Of course, in real life, I'd never judge because of height, it's a minor, unimportant detail.
