At just 5ft 1½ (156.2 cm), Emma Roberts is considered short compared to the average American woman. She wears a US shoe size 6, which translates to a UK size 4, EU size 36-37, and several other international sizes, including Japan size 22.5 and Mexico size 3.

The famous movie actress often looks taller on the red carpet and is an expert at elongating her silhouette by adding the illusion of height through her fashion choices.
