When it comes to Rihanna's height, she's 5 feet 8 inches tall, according to Capital Xtra. That happens to be a few inches taller than the average height of women in the United States, which is 5-foot-4, per the Cleveland Health Clinic. Of course, Rihanna was born in Barbados, where the average woman is around 5 feet and slightly more than 4 inches, according to Medicine Net.
On top of that, Rihanna may seem taller than she actually is thanks to the fact that she tends to wear shoes that add a few extra inches to her already impressive height. Just take a peek at her very own super-stylish brand of Fenty Shoes, which features high heeled options with names that almost sound like song titles such as "Don't Be Square Slingbacks" and "Caged In Sandals," per WWD. In fact, when famous shoe designer Manolo Blahnik opened up to Vogue in May 2016 about working with the fashionable singer, he recalled, "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, and I loved that and I respect that. I like a woman who knows what she wants."
While there's no doubt that Rihanna is of formidable height, it turns out that she's not quite as tall as someone who happens to be quite close to the star.
