And here is a second picture in which Dakota is actually standing up straight and almost reaches up to Elle's eyes ... still the same footwear disadvantage ...

@ayalo: I don't think Elle actually is 4 inches taller ... the following picture might be a good one to judge. Dakota reaches up to Elle's nose which would make her about 4 inches smaller ... and then take a look at the shoes ... Elle has about 2 inches platform advantage. And (eventhough this probably has no effect) Dakota might lose 1/4 inch from slouching slightly. So my estimation would be that Elle is between 2 and 3 inches taller than her sister, not more ...

Elle shadows her "big" sister in every aspect.She is at least 4" taller ,and much more attractive...

Elle is now 5feet 5 to 5feet 6 she definite sight taller than she sister
Dakota my person is like 5feet 3 to 5feet 5 is hard to tell. She and her sister wear 2-3 inches heels . So that made guess she like 4inches taller because her body type.

@Liz I don't want to be rude, but do you even know how to calculate feet and inches? You are completely contradicting yourself!
First you say that you think that her mother is "5 feet 10" and that she is a "couple of inches taller" than Elle. But then you also say that "Elle is not 5 feet 7 to 5 feet 8". Don't you know that 5 ft 10 minus 2 inches is equal to 5 ft 8? That is basic mathematics!
I think you should start explaining youself by using the metrical system. Because what you are saying in feet and inches is completely confusing.
Pedro said on 1/Aug/13
@Jamie That is a good point and the most absurd aspect of this discussion. Elle's mother's height was never really mentioned officially, but some people talk about it like it is a known fact. While Elle has been talking consistently about her own height, but people like to ignore what she says or they simply assume that she is not being honest.
About Elle's mother (Joy) I have seen picture where she looks slightly taller than her daughter, while in others she looks like having the same height. But I don't remember ever seeing a picture where I got the feeling that Elle looks taller. So I think that we can assume that Joy is slightly taller than Elle. Somewhere between 5'8" and 5'10". My personal estimation would be 5'9".

Elle is between least 5feet 3 to 5feet5
Mom is couple inches taller than mother so I say say about 5feet 10
Elle is not 5feet 7 to 5feet8 she around 5feet 3half to 5feet 5
Jamie said on 21/Jul/13
How do we know for sure how tall her mom is?
Pedro said on 7/Jul/13
@liz Yes, those shoes give Elle 1 or 2 inches advantage over her mother. But you have also to take into consideration that Elle was walking on that picture and that her legs were more separated from each other than her mother's. People lose 1 or 2 inches while they are walking, as you can see in this picture: Click Here .
So I think that if both would stand straight, then Elle would have pretty much the same height as her mother with those boots. Which would mean that with the boots Elle is between 5'9"-5'10", but without them she is between 5'7.5"-5'8".
Here is another picture from last year of Elle together with her mother. But this time both have exactly the same footwear. As you can see, the difference between them is not big: Click Here .
Lizzie said on 7/Jul/13
Elle flats on she around @5 feet 24 to 5 feet 5 compare to mom who almost 6 feet tall . Elle looks m3 to 4 inches . Can believe she look an more like couple inches shorter than mother which make her 5 feet 3 half. She don't growing anymore. 15 years old.
liz said on 27/Jun/13
Wow. that's a lie we is wearing like boots that give her 2 inches so basically she would be 5 feet 8. But, without boots and high heels she will be 5feet 3 to 5feet5. I don't she will get any taller than now. Elle is now 15and 3 months and Dakota. Dakota was taller than at June event. Dakota around between 5feet 4 to 5feet 5. Elle is no taller than me.
Pedro said on 25/Jun/13
@liz Here is a recent picture of Elle walking next to her mother: Click Here .
As you can see, Elle has here almost the same height as her mother. She only appears to be an inch shorter. Taking in consideration that Elle has also slightly more footwear, we could say that there is like a 2 inch difference between them. So basically this would make Elle 5'8" and her mother 5'10".
liz said on 21/Jun/13
TO her mom( 5feet 10) she least 3 inches to 4 inches shorter than her. It very hard to see her real height because she always wears 2-3 inches heals.
Pedro said on 18/Jun/13
@liz Do you at least have some pictures that prove that Elle is as short as you say? Because you are always repeating the same message, without adding anything new to the discussion.
liz said on 13/Jun/13
Elle is around 5 feet 5 to 5feet 6 without shoes. I don't think she will grow anymore. I believe that done growing now because she has early growth spurt already. Elle is now 15 year old she look still like kid with 3 inches shoe made her 5feet 9 to 5feet 9 half. Elle is mostly between 5 feet 4 to 5feet 5.
when I was her I was 5 feet I grew 5 inches I looks like 5 feet 5half to 5feet6. I think I am tall or same height Elle.
Pedro said on 4/Jun/13
@mina You also have to take the footwear into account. I think that the heels from Mary Elizabeth Winstead were pretty high and Elle was wearing some kind of platform shoes. In this video you can see Mary's shoes very well, though it is more difficult to evaluate the ones from Elle: Click Here .
In Elle's case I find it funny how I hear people always exaggerating her height in both ways. There are the ones who say that she is around 5'9" or 5'10", while others try hardly to put her under 5'7". Why can't people simply accept the height that she claims for herself? I mean that she has been pretty consistent with it, taking in consideration the expected growth patterns for girls in that age.
janelle said on 2/Jun/13
Just because you're tall doesn't mean you have big feet. I'm 174 cm and my shoe size is 7 and my 6' tall sister's shoe size is 8.5. Anyways, anything over 5'7 for Elle is ludicrous.
mina said on 1/Jun/13
@Pedro Wowzers.Elle did quite a bit of growing within the last 3 years! Lol
She looks a solid 5'7 next to Mary Elizabeth Winstead.Maybe 5'7.25.
liz said on 31/May/13
@Sorry for the confusing posts. But I make a general statement because I know I about women
Pedro said on 31/May/13
@liz Yes, Elle often wears 3 inches heels to make herself taller. But ALL WOMEN do that on the red carpet! That's exactly why I say that you should compare Elle next to other 5'8" women, who are wearing high heels as well.
No offense, but you should always re-read your posts before sending them. Because you make a lot of grammatical mistakes and sometimes your posts are very confusing to read.
liz said on 30/May/13
Because its true. I am 5 feet 4 3/4 to 5feet 5. she is between 5 feet 3 to 5 feet 5 not 5 feet 7 0r 5 feet 8 because she always 3 inches to make her self taller. She not much taller than she is actually
Pedro said on 29/May/13
@liz I don't understand why you always keep bringing up your own height to this discussion? What does that have to do with anything? Have you ever met Elle? If not, then why is it relevant?
It doesn't matter if Elle is 4 years younger than you or not. She is 15 years old and most girls are already done growing at that age.
Elle doesn't just say that she is tall. Everyone who ever meets her says that about her. Just look at pictures of Elle next to other 5'8" women, like Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
liz said on 28/May/13
@Mina and Pedro Its Hollywood fault to make this poor girl 15 years to make her seen 22 years old. She looks older than me but I am four year old than Elle fanning. I think Elle just says she is tall! I do think around 5 feet 3 to 5feet 6 range . I am 5 feet 43/4 to 5 feet 5 half
Pedro said on 23/May/13
@mina Yes, celebrities often lie about their heights. But, in this case, Elle's height claim makes total sense and is as expeced. She was 5'6" at the end of 2010, 5'6.5" in the summer of 2011, 5'7" at the end of 2011 and now she is 5'7.75" at age 15.
Here is a picture of Elle together with Mary Elizabeth Winstead (who is 5'8"). They look like having similar height: Click Here
mina said on 22/May/13
I would have guessed between 5'5.5-5'6.5 for Elle.But 5'8 is way too high.Magazines usually lie by adding 1-2inches.Sometimes more! I've heard it/watched on Fashion Police.
Pedro said on 22/May/13
@Saman Not in her profile-picture. But if you check out more recent pictures from Elle, you can clearly see that she grew a little since 2011. So I don't see any reason to doubt her "five-seven-and-three-quarters"-claim. Because she could have easily rounded it up to 5'8", like most people would have done.
Saman said on 21/May/13
She is not taller than 5.7
liz said on 11/Apr/13
elle is not tall 5feet4 to 5feet5. Dakota 5feet5 to 5feet7 with heels
Dakota 5feet4 but look sighly taller. elle is least half inch tall than Dakota
Elle is now 5 feet 3 to 5feet5 but looks tall but she doent look 5 feet 7
Pedro said on 7/Mar/13
@Liz Yes, Elle can be much taller than Dakota. Girls have their growth spurt much earlier than boys. So when girls are 15 years old, they are normally already done growing. Here is a chart where they compare growth on boys vs girls: Click Here .
If you are wondering why the young sister became so much taller than the older sister, it is actually not that unusual. Both of their parents are tall. Their father is listed as being 6ft3, while their mother looks like 5ft9. So, the fact that Elle became so tall, is therefore completely normal. The bigger surprise is that Dakota became so much smaller, with only 5ft4. But she probably took more from their grandmother, who is small as well.
Liz said on 6/Mar/13
She only 15 years old and I looks older than that of high heels.two years ago 5feet 3 not 5feet 6 now. She cant be not much taller her sister only 5feet 4 done growing.,I am last year of school I about 5feet 5 but look taller maybe 5feet 6. Elle not 5feet 8 she looks more than 5 feet 3 to 5feet 5 she not much taller than me
Pedro said on 5/Mar/13
@Liz I know that those women wear this kind of high heels to make them appear taller. That's exactly why Elle seems to look from 5ft10 to 6ft in some red carpet events.
Per example, in this picture from the "We Bought a Zoo"-premiere in December 2011, she looked like having the same height as Matt Damon (who is 5ft10): Click Here . She was wearing these shoes on that day: Click Here .
I would say that Elle was at least 5ft6.5 while promoting "Super 8", around 5ft7 while promoting "We Bought a Zoo" and she is 5ft7.75 right now. Elle will be turning 15 next month, so she is probably close to being done growing. I think she will still make it to 5ft8, but that's pretty much it.
Liz said on 4/Mar/13
It is hard to tell because these girls wears 3 to 5inches heels. If I were wearing this heels I probaly be taller the both them comband.
Elle looks in these picture like 5 feet 6 to 5 feet6 1/2
In the movie we brought the zoo Premieres 5 feet 4 to 5feet 5 feet 6
Elle looks to me very short which means like 5 feet 4 but might look bit taller than that. She nt 5feet 8 to 5 feet 10. I am same age as Dakota but lot taller than Dakota. I between 5 feet 5 to 5feet 5 feet 6. We look like almost the height Elle.. Elle is now 5feet 3.half to 5feet 6 half but no more than that.
Pedro said on 3/Mar/13
@Liz Have you even seen more recent pictures of Elle? Here are pictures from a Rodarte event in September 2011, where both sisters have similar high footwear: Click Here . The height difference was already pretty clear at that time. And Elle has grown 1 inch since then.
The high height difference between them is almost embarassing for Dakota. Everyone who sees Elle, immediately comments on it. So, I don't understand how you keep claiming such a ridiculously low height for Elle? Dakota is the one who is between 5feet3 to 5feet5.
Liz said on 3/Mar/13
I am same age as her sister I am 5 feet 5inches

Elle us now between 5 feet 5 to 5feet she doesnt seem taller than me.
Liz said on 2/Mar/13
Elle about with heels 2 -3 inches taller
elle is about my height but she taller than sister
Elle is about like 5feet 3 to 5feet 5 now.She is not any taller than that.
Pedro said on 24/Feb/13
@Liz No way. Elle is much taller than Dakota now. There isn't even a way to compare them. Elle is almost 4 inches taller than Dakota.
Liz said on 21/Feb/13
I agree with Mina. I am now same as Elle looks the same height as sister but looks taller than her
Dakota is no more than 5feet4 they look almost same height
Elle is now 5 feet 4 to 5feet 5 but looks taller that of she probbly measured herself as 5feet 7 in 2013 14 half. Elle is now closer to my height because I am 5feet 5
Pedro said on 11/Feb/13
I agree. The fact that they mentioned such an exact height can only mean that Elle measured herself recently. It would also make sense in therms of prediction, because she was around 5ft 7in at the end of 2011 when she was still 13.
Pedro said on 10/Feb/13
Elle is 5ft 7,75 in (172 cm) now. She says this in this recent article: nymag.com/thecut/2013/02/elle-fanning-fashion-as-after-school-activity.html
Editor Rob
seems like a quote she gave
mina said on 31/Jan/13
Elle is 5'6(168cm)
Tessa said on 6/Jan/13
Let's not forget that Elle usually wears some type of shoe with a heel or platform. I say she's still 5'7". That's judging from the pics of her with Dakota in south Korea, Elle is wearing chanel creepers with a 2-3 in platform while Dakota is in boots with a small heel or no heel (it's hard to tell from the picture)
Stephanie said on 5/Jan/13
Elle was 5' 7" at the end of 2011 but looks to have grown since then... see pics of her next to her mom and sister in 2011 and then in 2012. I'd say she's 5' 7.5" or 5' 8" now.
