Jennifer Lopez's Height: Exploring Her Striking Physique, Stunning Legs and Fashionable Footwear

We’re excited to feature the best outfits and shoes worn by Jennifer Lynn Lopez, an American singer, songwriter, actress, dancer, and producer.

Is Jennifer Lopez short?

No, she’s not. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average height for adult women in the United States is about 5 feet 4 inches (162.1 cm). She wears a shoe size 8 (US).

This means that Jennifer Lopez’s height of 5 feet 4 ½ inches (163.8 cm) is slightly above average compared to the average height of American women.

However, she has claimed to be even taller in interviews. “I’m 5′ 6″ and I weigh 120 pounds so I’m not thin, but I think that’s why women identify with me and I’m liked by men. I’m just a normal person,” Lopez told Sunday Mirror in an interview.

“I’m not a size 0 or 2. I’m not 6-feet-tall like a lot of the models that come around, and I’m like, ‘Wow, I’m really short compared to models!’,” she admitted in an interview with Vogue magazine. “I’m just a regular woman. I wear a size 6. You know, when I eat a little too much over the holidays, maybe a size 8. When I’m in shape, maybe a size 4.”

Jennifer Lopez may be happy with her height, but she’s not one to shy away from wearing heels to add a little extra boost.

The superstar has a collection of high heels that would make any fashion lover jealous, and she’s even shared some of her tips for wearing them comfortably over the years.

In a 2017 interview with Vogue, Lopez advised, “Try to find shoes with a little bit of a platform, even if it’s hidden. It makes a huge difference.”

She also suggested practicing walking in heels at home to improve posture and distribute weight more evenly, which can reduce the pressure on the arches of the feet and prevent pain. “By wearing heels frequently, you figure out how to distribute your weight and posture so that all the pressure isn’t only on the arches of your feet, which is what usually causes pain,” she explained.
