As celebrity journalists, we can say with certainty Hollywood is the land of tiny people. Whether that means short or svelte, nine times out of 10, your favorite singer or actress is pint-sized—well, compared to the rest of America. The big screen deceives us: We think these A-listers are larger than life, when they’re in fact smaller than meets the eye. It’s witchcraft, to be honest.
But these 11 women are anomalies. They’re all 5’9″+ of pure, glittery sexiness. A few on this list may surprise you. (For instance, did you know Jordin Sparks is 5’10”?! Yup.) Take a gander at these tall beauties, and let us know what you think in the comments below.
