Beyonce’s Height Revealed: Exactly How Tall is The American Singer?

How tall is Beyonce? Beyonce’s height is 5 feet 7 inches or 1.7 m tall.

Watching Beyoncé dish out energetic, fierce, and commanding performances on stage would have you believe that she is some 6-foot tall Amazonian princess. But alas, this is not so, and the superstar singer and business mogul is much more down to earth as far as her height is concerned. She has, however, not let this hinder her as she has gone on to become not just one of the world’s bestselling recording artists ever but also one of the women who have defined the last century.

While it is an accepted fact that being tall can be a confidence booster, the likes of Beyoncé, perfectly balanced on her high-heeled footwear, go on conquering the world one album after another. She has also consolidated her resume as an actress and is determined to use her creative works, be it films or music, to shed a positive light on the culture that she represents.

Exactly How Tall is Beyoncé?

Beyoncé Knowles is 5 feet 7 inches or 1.7 m tall. This is obviously average and the singer, therefore, relies on high-heeled shoes to boost her height. Luckily for her, she has mastered the art of wearing them and has no qualms walking the red carpet or giving her trademark performances in them. Wearing high heels is not easy though and Beyoncé has confessed to this reality. While pregnant with her first child in 2011, the singer continued wearing high-heeled shoes. However, by the time her child arrived, she traded her signature heels in for loafers and oxfords which she found very comfortable. She resolved to buy more of them onwards and still boost her height by wearing shorter heels.

Beyonce’s Height Compared to the Average American and the Average Hollywood Celebrity

Beyonce’s 5 feet 7 inches height means that she is taller than the average American woman out there. Data from the CDC has it that the average American lady is 5 feet 3 inches (1.6 m) tall, meaning that Beyoncé is 4 inches taller than her female compatriots. It is, however, a different ballgame when it comes to the men. Statistics show that the average American man is 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) tall, meaning that Queen Bey is two inches shorter than the average American guy out there.

The situation is also the same when narrowed down to the showbiz industry. Statistics show that the average Hollywood male celebrity is 5 feet 9.5 inches (1.76 inches) while the average female celebrity is 5 feet 4 inches (1.62 inches). It, therefore, means that Beyoncé is three inches taller than most of her female industry peers and 2.5 inches shorter than most of the male folks.

How Tall is Blue Ivy?

Beyoncé and her husband have three kids together including eldest Blue Ivy. Blue is already creating a buzz in the industry by accompanying her parents to various award ceremonies. She has also cameoed in one of her mother’s tracks that went on to win a Grammy Award. The young lady is very much a star in the making and another thing that has impressed fans is her height. Even though she is yet to clock 10, she already reaches her mom’s shoulders. It is estimated that Blue Ivy is presently 4 feet 5 inches tall. Of course, as she gets older, she will pile on more inches and perhaps grow to be even taller than her mother. This isn’t far-fetched given her genes. Her father is 6 feet 2 while her maternal grandfather, Matthew Knowles, is 6 feet 5 inches.

The ladies all remain good pals till this day and a reunion may not be entirely out of the question.

With regards to their height, Michelle Williams is the tallest member of Destiny’s Child at 5 feet 9 inches or 1.75 m. The second tallest member is Kelly Rowland who is 5 feet 8 inches or 1.73 m tall. This leaves Beyoncé as the shortest member of the defunct group.

Beyoncé has collaborated with many artists over the years, several of whom are female, but one notable person that she has yet to collaborate with is Rihanna. Fans have been yearning for that particular collabo for years now but it has yet to materialize. This has led to speculations that there could be frosty relations between the two but there is no proof for that. They regularly pose together on the red carpet and Rihanna has even hailed Beyoncé as a queen on Instagram. Fans, therefore, remain hopeful, and should a project emerge from the duo someday, then you can expect Rihanna to slightly have the upper hand with regards to height as she is 5 feet 8 inches which makes her an inch taller than Beyoncé.

This is in fact true as the latter is only 5 feet 2 inches or 1.57 m tall which means that Beyoncé is five inches taller than her.
