The tall Brazillian beauty, Camila Alves, was photobombed by an uninvited guest — her taller husband — as she posed up a storm on the red carpet of the premiere of the 2016 American crime drama film Gold.

Matthew McConaughey slid in behind the actress as she smiled on the AMC Loews Lincoln Square red carpet in New York.

Is Camila Alves tall?

Yes, she is. Standing a statuesque 5 ft 9 in (175 cm) tall, Camila Alves soars high above the average height of a Brazilian woman, which is approximately 5 ft 3 in (160 cm). This gives her a striking height advantage of around 6 inches or 15 cm – no small difference!

In a country known for its vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes, Alves stands out not only with her successful career and stunning beauty but also with her commanding height. She wears a shoe size 8. 5 (US).

So, when you think of the dazzling heights of Brazil’s most famous landmarks, like the towering Christ the Redeemer or the soaring Sugarloaf Mountain, don’t forget to add Camila Alves to that lofty list!

Camila took the title of her husband’s movie to heart as she dressed up in a gorgeous golden fringed dress by the ever-ethereal Marchesa. The sheer dress was doused in gorgeous appliques that faded out towards the hem of the skirt.

The handbag designer finished her look with a clutch from Edie Parker and a pair of Schutz “Amatista” platform sandals in nude suede.

Camila got to choose between two necklaces for the event, as evidenced by a video she uploaded to Instagram. The model seemed to opt for the second piece she displayed in her video, which covered almost her entire neck.

Camila Alves, standing at an impressive 5 ft 9 in (175 cm), is just a smidge shorter than her husband, the renowned actor Matthew McConaughey, who stands at about 5 ft 10 ¾ (179.7 cm). The height difference between them is approximately 1.75 inches or 4.7 cm.

The actress seemed oblivious to her husband’s adorable antics while she posed on the carpet. Matthew snuck up behind Camila and basically added some fun to her monotonous red carpet photo.

The Brazilian beauty later uploaded a photo of the photobombing incident on her Instagram.

You can shop Camila’s Schutz “Amatista” sandals on Zappos and Nordstrom.
