she's 5 ft 7.5 in/171 cm. I think the 5 ft 7 in - 5 ft 8 in range is the perfect height for a woman.
Mike says on 9/Jun/13
Rob, could she be as low as simply 5'7? Because she claims 5'8, she very well might be 5'7.5 and rounds up. However, she could be 5'7 flat and just gave herself an inch? I don't know.
[Editor Rob: 5ft 7.5 I think is reasonable for her, I believe she might measure near enough that mark ]
Ian McGrinty says on 1/Jun/13
She adds the ol' 2 inches now.

I read a lot and yes people do continue to grow but not for free. You'd have to stretch a lot to gain height. I was 5'7.75" at age 18. At age 23, I managed to grow to 5'8" And now I'm 30 and managed to grow to 5'11". You have to stretch your ass off and an extreme strict diet to to it. I bet that's what Jennifer has done. Because of my experience I'd say she's probably 5'11" now like me if she done the daily stretch workouts.

On the Oscars red carpet she said she's 5ft 8

Rob, I have met her. I have been measured 15 times in the last 2 years (on 6 different tape measures and doctors offices) and it says i'm 172 cm (5'7 and 3/4) Same height as Tom Cruise, and it looked like she was exactly the same height as me! We both met eye to eye! So your calaculation was almost exact Rob! :)

@Liebling, Hoult is closer to 6f3 then 6f2. Lawrence looks 5f7 in that pic.
Liebling says on 27/Feb/13
In an Golden Globe interview, she listed her height as 5ft9, and in an interview around the same time, she said she was 5ft8. I used to find her endearing, but she is obviously giving contradictory claims about her height. I believe people can grow half to a full inch in their twenties, but not 2-3 inches.

If Nicholas Hoult is really 6ft2, how can she be 5ft9?

Many people grow a bit in their twenties but not 2 - 3 inches or more, and many women lie about their height..as if being tall is some great accomplishment or makes them more attractive. I truly do not believe she was around 5'6 at age 18 and 5'8 or 5'9 now. In photos next to Charlize Theron when she was 18, she was obviously average height. She is prolly wearing higher heels than Anne Hathaway too.
little sue says on 26/Feb/13
She was at the Oscars with her Mom and Dad, her Mom was tiny, under 5ft so she obviously got her height off her Dad who looked around the 6ft mark.
Jake: 1.83 m- 1.85 m says on 25/Feb/13
Masterful performance in 'Silver Linings Playbook'. She's talented and very attractive.
Anne says on 25/Feb/13
I stretched another inch from the age of 20 to 22. My sister grew more than half an inch from 20 to 21. I don't know how normal that is for girls but it does happen, so I think it's possible that Jennifer grew a little since she was measured at 5'7 1/2". I'd put Jennifer at a little over 5'8".
Liebling says on 25/Feb/13

I wonder what mega heels she wore here. She looked a full inch taller than Anne.
Hailey says on 24/Feb/13
She just said 5'8 on the Oscar red carpet. But I see her as a sting 5'7!
[Editor Rob: I've said before on her own website before she hit the big time she had put down 5ft 7.5, I suppose her rounding to 5ft 8 is better than 5ft 9 some believed she was.]
Sophie says on 24/Feb/13
She's 5'7 and no more I don't know why she claims to be taller than she actually is.
Grace says on 18/Feb/13
She is 5'8. She said it in an interview for the Golden Globes 2013: Click Here

One of the real hot girls of hollywood who is not obsessed with weight. 171cm. I thought she was 5 foot 8.
Pedro says on 21/Jan/13
According to this interview, Jennifer is 5'9'' tall: Click Here
Lexi says on 16/Jan/13
She said so herself on her website that she's 5'7.5", so that's how tall she is. You can't all just say she's 5'8" or 5'9" because you think she's grown or looks taller. It doesnt matter much anyway, she's gorgeous!
Sunny says on 16/Jan/13
I would say that it does matter. She is proportioned so well and has a sexy round voluptuous body. Why is it that everyone is consumed with her height?
tallish girl says on 15/Jan/13
I think shes 5'8 or 9. I am 176 or 7 cm tall (more than 5'9) and i dont have long legs,so i get tht people think shes shorter than she really is
Conti says on 13/Jan/13
I would say 5'8 barefoot.
Balrog says on 12/Jan/13
She was 21 at X Men First Class. What is the chance a woman of grown after 21? Very low.
PEOPLE LISTEN says on 10/Jan/13
she's young enough it's perfectly possible she WAS 5'7.5" when she did First Class and then grew to be 5'9". Honestly what kind of a woman would lie to make herself TALLER when she knows men are intimidated by a tall woman next to a male lead
Balrog says on 10/Jan/13
171 cms seems legit. Funny now she's famous claims 5'9''. The two inch rule of Hollywood!
hello says on 25/Nov/12
I thought she was 5'6
Raz says on 9/Nov/12
A basketball has a diameter of 9.5" (24 cm). Based on that fact, and the picture with her holding a basketball, she is almost exactly 5'7.5" or 171.5 cm.
little sue says on 9/Nov/12
If the heels are about 4.5 inches they would give about 3 inches actual height
[Editor Rob: if they have a 3cm platform they've a much better chance of actually getting 4 inches, I've measured one person with a 6-inch and she got 4.25ish out of them, the platform was nearer 1.5 inches though on the front which is a big amount.]

@SAK
I think she looks close to 5'11'' in that photo. But she must be wearing really big heels.

How tall does Jennifer Lawrence become wearing the heels in the pic above. Anyone??
J says on 10/Oct/12
She's exaggerated since her first Pscars, and it's likely her prior claim of 5'7.5" was a bit exaggerated too. 169cm on a good day.

Her recent Vogue article claims 5'10". She will be 6' tall by February at this rate. A strange world where people spin a 5'6" to 5'7" girl into some inaccurate height.
Silent d says on 5/Oct/12
171cm.
whaatatevskisss says on 1/Oct/12
Actually she is 5 foot nine
Jimba says on 28/Sep/12
No way she has 5'9", i have 6'2" and she is way smaller than me
Sean says on 24/Sep/12
Jos, watch X-men: First Class, which was released just last year. She looks 5'7.5" looks exactly right next to James McAvoy, who himself claims 5'7".
Jos says on 19/Sep/12
Rob I appreciate that you want to use credible sources, but how many years ago was it that you saw that site? I was not much more than 5'7'' at 18 and 1/2, two years later I was standing at almost 5'9''. Jen has been getting taller since you read that site-you forget how young she was/is. A female actress wouldn't lie saying she's 5'9'' when she's really only 5'7'' 1/2- she's not a model! Also, taller female actresses can be given a hard time for their height because of towering over leading men, it makes no sense for her to claim 5'9 if she's not 5'9. Come on now, you've got it on video: her saying 5'9, that is a more credible source than you saying you once saw an official site of her [when she was younger!]!. 5'9 is a height that makes perfect sense looking at her standing next to, e.g., 6'3' boys Liam Hemsworth/Nicholas Hoult. A lot of men in my family are that same height, and I'm 5'9'---the height difference between Jen and L & N are exactly the same as that between me and my male relatives, it really couldn't make more sense.
[Editor Rob: it was when she was 20 the 5ft 7.5 was published on her site. It's more credible to me because it is actually the height she looks to me and was before Hunger Games.]
Jos says on 12/Sep/12
You need to change her height, she said herself at the Oscar Lungeon that she's 5'9''. So it's confirmed. Plus, even before that I knew she was about that height. I'm about 5'9'' myself and it's easy for me to recognize women who are around that same height. Why do the people here at celebheights always feel the need to downgrade tall women's height? You almost give me a complex...
[Editor Rob: she got popular and raised her height...I saw with my own eyes on a page of her official site - the page was shortlived and removed, but in her own words she said - "I'm 5'7 1/2"!...her brother is the owner of the domain, so it's a good enough source :)

I'll stick with that since I believe she looks around her original pre Hunger Games claim.]
mina says on 7/Sep/12
Jennifer can pull off looking 5'9 on screen.Compared to actress Charlize Theron 5'9.5,you can definitely see the height difference.Jennifer is 5'7.5.
In the photo above,she look's 5'5-5'6.
Insider says on 1/Sep/12
this site wrong!! Jennifer Lawrence is 168 cm.
I\'m in Denial....? says on 21/Aug/12
hemsworth and cyrus on the beach, with that slant cyrus is at least half a foot taller. so calculate and work it out.
little sue says on 15/Aug/12
Girls of 5ft 9 can have long bodies and short legs!! My mate is 5ft 9 and only has about a 29.5 inside leg but she is pear shaped so her body is really long
Marie says on 14/Aug/12
She's claiming 5'9 lately which is total B.S. Her body proportions look like somebody who is around 5'5-5'7 at most. I'm 5'9 and my arms are a good 4 inches longer than hers and my legs are way longer than hers when she's wearing the longest heels. She has stubby legs! Girls who are 5'9 don't have short legs. Honestly, I think she's 5'6 or maybe even a weak 5'7.
5\'5\" says on 11/Aug/12
LaineyGossip described her as "petite" when she met her at the Grey Goose Party during Oscar season last year. Jennifer Lawrence is 5'5" at most by that description. 5'6" is a stretch for "petite", especially since Lainey herself is around 5'3".
Clara says on 6/Aug/12

Eddie says on 8/Jun/12
She's 5'6
Cliff says on 7/Jun/12
What cat said.......the 5'7 1/2" claim was made at an earlier age as Rob stated in the header. She's closer to her claimed 5'9."
theblacklab says on 7/Jun/12
Katniss Everdeen (a character play by Jennifer) had always been described as below average height in The Hunger Games books, however Jennifer is clearly above average height. I'd say she could be 5'6.5" at a minimum, and 5'7" at a maximum, which I think is a perfect height for a woman, very comfortably above average.
hahah says on 6/Jun/12
i find it so funny how people compare heights from what they see on tv & movies, you can easily make somebody taller or shorter on tv example tom cruise, so what you see on the screen is not always true, shes deff around 5'7 i wouldnt say any taller
MiniMe says on 2/Feb/12
Jen next to 6 ft 2.5 in Nick Hoult. Click Here Still looks 5'7 1/2?
