Rita Ora stands at a height of 5 feet 5 ½ inches (166.4 cm), and she often wears high heels to enhance her height and create a taller appearance. In a candid interview with Wired, Rita joked about her height, saying, ‘Well, I’d like to think I’m 5’11, but nobody believes me. I’m more like 5’7… maybe 5’6, 5’7… yeah, I think being tall is gorgeous.’
