Editor RobIn the show I did think they were close, although I can see the chance of Melissa measuring a small fraction more than Chyler...

Why Google says she is 1.73? She looks much shorter than this, don't make sense to me...

She is about 5ft6 1/2" in Supergirl. , Rob has got the right listing , some are inflating her height just because she's so gorgeous , 5ft8 doesn't make sense

I think that Melissa is south of 5'7" and more than likely her listed height! I wouldn't rule out 5'6,75" though, by any stretch of the imagination!

She is at the very least 5’6.75” or 5’7”. She looks very tall on Supergirl. I am sure that Grant Gustin wore lifts on the show.

Editor RobI think from watching 1 season of supergirl I'd have said very similar to chyler (their footwear varies a bit), so 169cm may well be a decent shout.

The media has her listed as 5'8" and on the show the cast says she's about 5'9". More media BS. Now if yall could just realize this is also true about Henry Cavill.....

Grant Gustin had her by 5.75"-6 inches. This would make Melissa 5'5.75"-5'6" or grant Gustin 6'-6'0.25".

@Honest.
I guess in Europe 5'6.5"(169)/5'11.5"(181) isn't tall for women/men but in USA it's still tall.
But from where I'm from 6'0.5"(184) is when you start feeling tall.

5'6" looks correct, never looked tall, maybe tallish. Plenty of women 5'6" claim 5'8", a true 5'8" woman looks taller than her.

She looks tall on Supergirl, even though Grant made her look so small, but he's a legit 6'2, and I will not budge on that, he's eye level with Stephen Amell, who is a legit 6'1. So I see her as being 5'8. You probably should have taken a picture with her Rob, then we would know, eyeballing a person's height is inaccurate, unless we have a scale to work from.

In recent photos with her and Chris Wood who is just listed at 5'11.75 she looks this. At the most she's 5'6.75. Maybe 5'7 in the morning, but no more than that.

U probably already know that he appears in Supergirl recently and
last time u said he appeared "A comfortable 180 range".
Well considering he looks the same as Grant, looks over 5'11"
with Gyasi and Roerig (the guys u have met), I think he is
at least 181 maybe 182, but i cant see him anything lower than 180.
What's your thought on this?

@Bobby your ridiculous keep convincing your self grant and amell are eye level to idk try and justify that you'd be eye level with amell even though grant and amell would be taller you. Amell a weak 6'1 and grants a weak 6ft at best I met grant at comic con and I was in 1.1 inch sneaker he was in .6-.7" flats and I was 2 inches taller for sure and I'm 6'1 at night. 6'2 for grant is a frickin joke puts me at 6'3.5 lol

She's definitely at least this maybe 5'6.75 at the most. After seeing her with Grant Gustin and Tyler Hoechlin there is no way she is near the 5'8 she's listed all over the place. That would make Grant and Tyler 6'1/6'2. She's also a few inches shorter than Jeremy Jordan who's listed at 5'8.5 on here.

Melissa is completely taller than chyler. Jack w is right. Chyler's is practically on tip toe in those heels and melissa, not at all. In the pictures, look how close they are in height. If they were wearing similar heels, Melissa would be taller. Rob, I think she is more than 5'6.25. I don't think the listing is accurate. In supergirl, she and Jeremy Jordan are close in height also with 5'9 Jaimie Alexander. My guess her Google height 5'8 is accurate.

Rob, if chyler's 5'6.5, mellisa must be 5'8 even 5'9. In a picture I saw, chyler was wearing heels and Melissa wearing flats. Chyler was an inch taller than her and if she took them off what does that make her, 5'6.25?

Fair point. In some pictures I see of Melissa and chyler, when wearing same shoes, she's a tad taller even without the boots. I clear she's 5'7-5'8.

Silverhawk, Chyler's heels in those pics are absolutely ridiculous. Practically looks like she's on tiptoe. Apart from how uncomfortable those must have been to wear, her towering over Melissa in those contraptions doesn't tell us much. OTOH having now seen the Supergirl-Flash crossover (adorable!! Melissa and Grant should have their own show together!) Melissa was shorter relative to Grant than I thought she'd be in the scenes where she wasn't in costume. Starting to think the Supergirl boots add some serious inches, which would explain the Chloe Bennet thing too.

Editor Rob it's a tough clip to tell exactly how much and whether her heels are 2 inches bigger than whatever melissa is wearing.
I thought from watching the first season of agents of shield that Chloe was somewhere between 5ft 5 and 6 - I did find her claim of 5ft 6, although I still would guess her a bit under it. One thing is sure though, benoist isn't 5ft 8 range!

I imagine Chyler is a little shorter than her listing. Melissa's height seems right relative to everyone else in the cast (and relative to just-south-of-6' Grant Gustin in the promo pics and videos for this coming Monday's crossover ep). Also, I think Supergirl's boots give Melissa some significant extra height.

The only time she looked shorter than 5'6.5" Chyler Leigh on Supergirl was in the pilot, when Leigh was in heels and Benoist was in socks. Either Leigh is less than 5'6" or Benoist is more than 5'6.25".

Possibly 170? She didn't look that much shorter than Jeremy Joradn (Winn on "Supergirl"), but his 5'9" google height could be overstated, though.

In the same scene, another character speculated from the same low resolution image of 'Supergirl' that her hair was dark brown or black. The two characters were working for a newspaper and trying to impress their boss by giving her new info on the new hero from the first grainy image of her. Both were wrong.
