5'11 models!?

splucy

Hi!

So I know I probably shouldn't look up to models for their weight and what not and compare myself with them...

but I wouldn't mind knowing the measurements and weight of a model that is the same height as me.

I am 5'11.

Would be a nice confident booster if my body was somewhat close to someone famous I'd love to do modelling one day!

Please tell me if you know of any models that are the same height as me and I'll take care of the rest.... and don't judge! lol :P

i guess none exist!

I used to do quite a bit of modeling. Since I am 5'10 I can afford to weigh more than 100 lbs like sitck models, but with my body type, I was always doing print, glamour, and "plus" I'm not a plus size at all, but when you wear a 12, and other models wear a 00, it's hard to compete. When I was modeling, I weighed 155, measurments were 36/29/34

I think most models we see(if we are talking catwalk) that are 5"11 are extremely underweight and unhealthy, and only 2% of women in the world look like that.
You BMI for a 5"11 should be between 140 - 171 lbs. I think the best role model for people aspiring to be model thin is Miranda Kerr, shes not too skinny, but she was obviously born that way!

Yep! And also I hear a very nice person which gives her extra bonus points in my eyes!

The only woman I know that tall is very underweight.

I think it would be a confidence booster to the model if SHE looked like YOU. You're beautiful! Don't let society make you feel any different.

P.S. Shorty here would kill to be 5'11!

yeah I know that there are disgustingly thin models but the victoria secret models have to be in the healthy weight range so I would love to look like one of them LOL
my bmi sits at 18.8. Anything below 18 is underweight.

Tyra Banks is 5'11'. The ever famous Gisele Bundchen, Shalom Harlow, Rebecca Romijn, and Uma Thurman. Not all of them are models, but they all that model-type body. Then there's Taylor Swift who's also 5'11" if you wanna consider her a model.

I cannot tell you how true this is!!!

I am graphic designer and I've done lots of Photoshop "touch-ups" in my day. Let me tell you, I can turn an overweight person into a supermodel. Seriously! I can make your skin blemish free, smooth and glowing just like they do in magazines....and I'm just an amateur. I've seen professionals work on photos. They use special tools in Photoshop to smooth out the stomach and take in the waist. They also make the legs look leaner too. Women try so hard to look like the magazines, then get so discouraged when they don't naturally look like that. 60% of a professional picture is Photoshopped. I understand how discouraging it can be because these photos are everywhere. I just wish all women could watch the process of "touching-up" an image. Maybe I should make a video and post it on here....

All of the Victoria Secret models are at least 5'9" or so and about 120-150lbs (you can find their stats on vs.com).

rlysrh

I don't know if this helps or not but I remember once when I was watching america's next top model a few of the models saying they weighed around 128lbs. I just remember because I was amazed because I used to weigh that much too (and hopefully will again in the not too distant future). lol

MFPAddict

I can't think of a single reason why you shouldn't be modeling right now.

PepeGreggerton

tall women give me the hebejebes

I believe Tyra Banks was around 110-120 in her modeling days. And when she quit, she said she was happy that she could actually eat again.

The standards for models of that caliber for body weight vs. height are ridiculous, unhealthy and unrealistic. My boss is 5'10", around 155 and she looks AMAZING. (And she was a model when she was a teen, but I don't know what she weighed back then.)

ADDING -- I looked at your profile and you look a lot like the women who do catalogue modeling. You might want to look into that now.

I do not have any modeling advice, just had to post thank you for those links! I know I feel better about my cellulite right now

eillamarie

Tyra Banks is 5'10 or 5'11.

There is a website mybodygallery.com, you might find what you want there.

Seriously, OP, you look incredible right now...

Don't mess with perfection.

karen_thinmint

Models are very tiny. Many are teenagers and they retire in their early 20s when weight naturally starts to build (example Gemma Ward who is acting now).

But to answer you question.. models that are 5'11" include Rebecca Romijn, Gisele Bundchen, Shalom Harlow, Catherine McNeil, and Abbey Lee Kershaw

juliesummers

I don't know any famous models' measurements (and don't care to look them up), but I know that my friend who is signed with NEXT Model Management is 5'11", 126lbs, 32-23-35.5 and the agency wants her to shrink down her hips even more but she can't because they're all bone.

JDMPWR

I could be wrong but I think the standard size for a model in clothing is a 2 or a 4?
