All these actresses and models never took their height as a barrier to looking stunning in every event that they performed in or in their day-to-day casual lifestyle.

↓ 10 – Shakira
Height: 5′ 1.5″
37 years old Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, is a Colombian singer-songwriter, dancer, record producer, choreographer, and model. She became the first public figure to cross 100 million Facebook fans. You probably would have never noticed that Shakira could be only 5 feet 1 inch. Yes, she made this possible with her right choice of outfits. For example, here, she is seen wearing a waist-fitting dress, which stretches her silhouette upward and makes her appear taller.
↓ 9 – Actress Vanessa Hudgens
Height: 5′ 1″
25-year-old Vanessa Anne Hudgens is an American actress and singer. Hudgens has appeared in various films and television series for the Disney Channel. Viewers have been smitten by the High School Musical star ever since she hit the screens. She knows exactly how to dress up according to her height. She is as famous for her impeccable fashion sense as she is for her girlish charms. Below you can see her donning a white patterned gown slim fitted along her torso. Slim-fit clothing is great for creating a thin and tall appearance. Also, we recommend going for a one-piece formal instead of s shirt and skirt to trick others on how tall you stand. Her hair has been backcombed so that it stands a little taller than where her head ends, literally making her taller. Her glittering heels leave lots of space for her skin to show through and again make her look tall. And with that dazzling smile paired with those earrings – who will be able to look away from her face to notice that she is a petite lady? Here are 10 Short Height Plus Size Models Breaking the Stereotypes.
Surely no outfit can make you look taller than a jumpsuit with vertical stripes!
↓ 8 – Reality Star Kim Kardashian
Height: 5′ 2″
33 years old Kim Kardashian West is an American television and social media personality, socialite, fashion designer, businesswoman, model, and actress. With over 35 million Instagram and 23 million Facebook Fans, Kim Kardashian is one of the most popular fashion figures because of her unique style statement. She loves to wear skirts. Kim Kardashian famously repeats items from her wardrobe; perhaps celebrities are like us in some ways. She can wear the same shoes or top with many other outfits again and again. Often she has been spotted with her favorite Hermes heels many times with different outfits. The trick to choosing the right heels for short and curvy fashionistas is to find ones with a low-cut vamp. That means your shoes should not cover up your entire feet so that you can create the illusion of having longer legs. The effect her shoes have is evident in the picture below. The smallest of factors can make the biggest difference when you’re trying to look taller. Again, note how her dress emphasizes her curves; the plunging neckline and the slim pencil skirt immediately draw attention away from her height.
Here you can see her height as compared to her younger sister Khloé Kardashian.
Kim is the short heightened girl from the Kardashians, but she is just as successful as her taller siblings. This proves that height is never a barrier for any girl. She has a beautiful hourglass figure, which is a perfect match for the kind of height that she has. Nevertheless, she always wears tight dresses like body wraps and tight knee-length dresses to emphasize her body figure rather than her height. And she always pairs them up with matching or contrasting high heels. Her accessories like headwear and scarves centre the focus on her upper body so that nobody notices her height.

↓ 7 – Reese Witherspoon
Height: 5′ 1”
38-year-old Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon, known professionally as Reese Witherspoon, is an American actress and producer. You guys may have seen the ‘Legally Blonde’ lady a lot on the screen as she is extremely talented – and she has a short height too, like some of us. She is also a very successful producer and recently joined the fashion industry as a designer. Is there no end to this woman’s talents? I’ll add one more: dressing well.
The key among these actresses is that they always wear tight dresses to make their figures prominent rather than making their height prominent. We can also see here that she loves wearing midi dresses. Dresses that are cinched at the waist, especially lengthen your frame. Witherspoon has mastered the art of dresses and always pairs them with gorgeous heels to add a few inches. On the other hand, baggy or voluminous clothing will widen your silhouette to make you look shorter and chubby. She often styles her signature blonde locks with a slight backcomb, just enough to make her look taller but not enough to be noticeable.
↓ 6 – Actress Salma Hayek
Height: 5′ 2″
48-year-old Salma Hayek Jiménez is a Mexican and American film actress, director, and producer. Salma Hayek looks tall because most of the time she wears high heels. But actually, she is just 5 feet 2 inches, and yet she’s one of the most stylish and classy ladies in the fashion industry. Here we see her wearing a full-length maxi gown which is almost hitting the floor, a pro-celebrity tip on appearing taller. Dresses that are floor or ankle-length will elongate your figure. For her neckline, she has opted for a turtleneck which is a great option for girls as they too make you appear leaner, however, if you have a round face, then this is not recommended, and instead, you should go for deep V-necks. Note how her hair is piled on top, adding a good few inches to her overall form.
↓ 5 – Sarah Hyland
Height: 5′ 1.5″
Sarah Hyland is an American actress who is best known for her role as Hayley Dunphy in the award-winning TV series, Modern Family. So she’s another extremely talented actress and has a petite body. She has also faced different health issues from a very young age, but despite all this, she continues to be a style icon and also one of the hottest girls in the fashion industry. Sarah Hyland is undoubtedly one of the most hardworking actresses in the industry. Although she is short in height, still she has been offered some amazing work in many different and successful movies as well as TV series. She is also known for her looks and her unique but awesome fashion sense. She’s often seen sporting a high-waisted skirt or shorts. ‘High-waisted’ is a golden phrase for any petite girl. Raising your waistline makes your legs look longer than your torso, and that is where the illusion starts working. Moreover, she often wears pumps, but instead of round ones, she opts for ones with a pointy end. The reason? That they make you look much longer, of course.

She has been dating Wells Adams for many years now, and despite a significant height difference, they both look too cute together, as you can see for yourself here.
↓ 4 – Actress Lucy Liu
Height: 5′ 2.4″
You always thought she was tall, right?
Height: Reports have said the “Elementary” star is anywhere from 5’1 to 5’3.
She is an Asian model and actor, but she is also one of the short actresses in the Hollywood industry. Here she is wearing a stunning knee-length dress with embroidery across the bust, instantly directing all attention above the torso. She accompanies the dress with nude-coloured stilettos. She is also wearing a neutral-toned shoulder bag. The size of the bag is another surprising factor that affects how tall you appear. For instance, some petite women go for oversized bags. They may be trending, but not every trend is made to suit you. Large bags will only emphasize how small you are in comparison and create an Alice-in-Wonderland-esque picture.

↓ 3 – Actress Kristen Bell
Height: 5′ 1″
34-year-old Kristen Anne Bell is an American actress and singer. Despite Kristen Bell’s height, it has never become a barrier to her elegant style. The blue-eyed beauty often chooses to wear form-fitted tops that draw attention to her face, so that her height is not the first thing you’d notice when you see her. What with her gorgeous eyes and witty sense of humour, her height is probably the last thing anyone will notice.

Twenty-one years old Cher Lloyd is an English singer-songwriter, rapper, and model. Cher Lloyd is a great inspiration for teenage girls.

↓ 1 – Anna Kendrick
Height: 5′ 0″
She is the sweetest actress in Hollywood, and she is also short like some of us. But she slays in every role that she plays. Here she is wearing a spectacular nude embellished dress with complementing jewellery. For her hair, she goes for loose waves most of the time which goes superbly with her mocha-colored locks. For makeup try to create a winged look with your eyeliner and eyeshadow. The prettier your face, the more you’ll draw the attention upwards, and you guessed it – upwards means taller.
You can see how short she is when standing next to fellow actress Olivia Wilde, in comparison.

She’s Mexican of Lebanese descent. I know this is true because I lived in Lebanon for many years and Hayek is a very common last name in Lebanon.
Salma Hayak is both Mexican and Lebanese. Salma has a White Mexican mother and a white Lebanese father. She comes from a wealthy family.

The spelling and grammatical errors in this piece is unbelievable!! In this day and age it is so easy to do a quick spell check but to put out an article without spell checking is ridiculous! Simple errors that should not have been made like “Kin”(Kim), “didnot “(did not), “sweasome”(awesome?), “she loes towear”(she loves to wear), “a lot”, (a lot), “os”, (is)….. and so many more! It was hard for me to make these errors, my phone was trying to correct all the incorrect words! This is out right embarrassing outfittrends.com!!
This is true … This has been done by a new casual writer .. we are fixing all of her articles .. Thanks for notifying
Way to throw the new gal under the bus. Perhaps you, or the editing team, should have reviewed before publishing??? And if you have to ‘fix all her articles’, maybe you should hire better writers??? I call BS
“The spelling and grammatical errors in this piece is unbelievable!!”

Just stumbled on this website and article. This is an interesting article however, I do notice the lack of diversity. Following is a list of black/brown celebrities who are also short:
Janell Monee 5 ft -Cynthia Erivo 5ft 1-America Ferrera 5ft 1 – Quinta Brunson is 4ft 11 -Zoe Kravitz 5ft 1. this is just a small list of the ones easily I found. I found over 20 total. An article does not have to be about African or African Americans or Hispanics to include us. We are just part of the world; every article should include some diversity. This is a big world widen your scope!
Thank you Joan for your feedback. I agree that this list needs to be updated. I will be having it done asap by the writer and of course we will be adding the celebrities that you’ve mentioned.

And petite women can wear anything they want to! Pantyhose under pants bright colors and happily too we’ve even seen short Miss Americas like Gretchen Carlson (5’3″) and short models too! I will ALWAYS love short women!
