LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rihanna is capable of performing on any platform, no matter how large. She is a Grammy-winning recording singer, a halftime performer at the Super Bowl, an actor, a fashion designer, a philanthropist, and a beauty tycoon.
However, Teen Vogue once claimed that RiRi still occasionally experiences body shaming.
While RiRi openly acknowledges and appears to love the ways her body changes, one aspect of her physical appearance is unlikely to change significantly: Rihanna's height.
How tall is Rihanna?
According to Capital Xtra, Rihanna's height is as tall as 5 ft 8 in (173 cm), taller than the height of an average American woman, which is 5 ft 4 in (163 cm). That excludes any high heels or platforms, which could lift Rihanna up to six feet in height!
Rihanna often wears sports shoes that extend her already amazing height by a few extra inches, which may give the impression that she is taller than she actually is.
She received praise for her legs in 2007 when she was given the Venus Breeze 'Celebrity Legs of a Goddess' award. Following the honor, the 'Work' singer insured her legs for a whopping $1 million!
The 'Umbrella' hitmaker also received recognition for her 9 shoe size, making history as the first female recipient of the 'Shoe of the Year' award from Footwear News for her partnership with Puma.
Rihanna's love for high heels
Rihanna, 35, is known for both her chart-topping music and her daring and flamboyant fashion choices.
She has continually pushed the limits of fashion throughout her career and has earned the respect of a large following worldwide. Rihanna is famous for her daring sense of style and passion for high heels.
Despite Rihanna's height, over the years, the singer-stylist has been spotted wearing a range of high-heel looks, from traditional pumps to edgy, avant-garde styles.
In fact, prominent shoe designer Manolo Blahnik recalled to Vogue in May 2016 about his collaboration with RiRi, "We talk about high heels. She wants heels! I was like, 'No, no, you can be sexy and beautiful with a flat shoe.' But noooo! ... She wanted high heels."
Despite keeping up her sense of style "throughout" her entire pregnancy, the 'Umbrella' hitmaker found it difficult to fit back into stilettos after giving birth to her son in May of this year with her boyfriend, rapper A$AP Rocky, 34.
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna stand tall together
Because of Rihanna's height, she was literally standing side by side when her partner A$AP Rocky attended the Fashion Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London in December 2019.
When the two of them are standing together, especially if RiRi is donning high heels, one might observe that Rocky is almost the same height as Rihanna.
The rapper is 5 ft and 10 in (178 cm) tall, per Capital Xtra, which complements Rihanna's height.
Also, Rocky stands two inches higher than Rihanna. Regardless of their exact heights, it is obvious that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky make an excellent duo.
