The shortest stars. Low Russian celebrities

Greetings, guests and readers of my blog! Here, I have decided to dedicate this post topic like celebrity vertically challenged. Now I will explain why I want to talk to you about the stars.

These women, despite their short stature, were able to succeed, have a dizzying career, and, most importantly, their taste in style can only be envied! Please note that they did not begin to complex about low growth, and involuntarily, you begin to think that the career of a top model is not the most important thing in life! After all, the little ones are always more successful and look younger! So, are you curious to know their little success stories and style secrets? Then let's get started!

Small, but remote!

Most of the stars, if they used to have complexes about their height, now they are proud of the fact that they are taller than many, since they have left many competitors behind them.

So, the smallest height of the stars ranges from 150 cm to 160 cm. Let's first get acquainted with foreign stars who have won a place in the sun and are recognized as style icons.

Shakira

Her height is 156 cm and she weighs 46 kg.

Everyone remembers well the acquaintance with Shakira, and her famous song "Whenever Whenever". The Colombian singer has managed to ensure that her song Waka Waka has become one of the most viewed on Youtube. The singer has many honorary music awards from MTV, Grammy, Latin Grammy, Billboard Music Awards, Billboard Latin Music Awards.

IN Everyday life Shakira wears skinny jeans, short dresses and high-heeled shoes with a hidden platform. Her height visually seems higher due to the shoes.

On the red carpet, the singer mostly flaunts in sparkly dresses with sequins. Her slender and toned body is difficult to spoil with shine, which gives additional volume. Due to the fact that she wears such bright outfits, she minimizes the number of accessories. Pay attention to the photo, how much longer the legs look with shoes even with a strap, but not in contrast to the color of the legs!

Nicole Richie

Height - 157 cm, weight 42 kg. Quite a miniature Nicole also managed to conquer show business. She works as an actress, singer, producer, fashion model and designer. She is adopted daughter Lionel Richie. God-parents Nicole - Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones.

Nicole had a complex about her height for a long time, as she believed that any extra kilogram on her body was very noticeable. But, now she fell in love with her body, and leads healthy lifestyle life, playing sports and raising children.

Let's see how she dresses in everyday life.

Nicole prefers comfortable clothes, but in Lately, you can see her in boho style outfits. I’ve already said many times that boho style is great for those who have a small stature!

But on the red carpet, Nicole wears elongated dresses to the floor. She also tries to straighten and style her hair so that it looks neat.

And so, it is better not to dress up!

As you can see, Nicole looks shorter in these photos, and her legs are shorter. Therefore, try not to "cut" the length of the legs with the wrong shoes and beware of trousers with "crotch" and low waist.

Kylie Minogue

The singer and actress, originally from Australia, is the happy owner of a small stature, which is 152 cm. At the same time, her weight is 49 kg. Kylie is full creative life, during which she manages to act in films, give musical tours and shoot video clips. Kylie has the Order of the British Empire, which Prince Charles personally presented to her. Now let's take a quick look at her style.

In everyday life, Kylie wears long skirts and dresses. She chooses calmer colors of clothes. The singer knows how to chic combine loose pants and jeans with a classic coat or trench coats. Kylie's style has been dubbed "Parisian chic" by fashion editors.

For solemn events, the singer puts on both short and Long Dresses. Pay attention to the fact that she chooses a slightly loose cut that gracefully emphasizes all the advantages of her figure. Also, Kylie does not weigh down her images with jewelry.

Tila Tequila

Also, I want to introduce you to the record holder among low famous women - this is Tila Tequila. She's a scandalous model, pornstar and host, and her height hasn't stopped her from becoming a Playboy star and a highly paid model! Do you know how tall she is? Only 150 cm, and according to some reports even lower! On the Internet, you can mostly find nude photos of Tila, but I still managed to find a couple in outfits for you. I think this woman proved to everyone that petite women can be incredibly hot and overtly sexy.

Famous socialites and fashion designers

Now let's talk about Kim Kardashian and the twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Fuller Olsen.

Kim Kardashian

Kim, unlike her sisters, does not have model parameters and high growth, but nevertheless, the star of the reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" managed to become one of the most famous in the world! The socialite often appears on the covers of world-class glossy publications, and she has 58 million followers on Instagram! But one way or another, Kim does not leave the stripes of glossy magazines and Internet pages. Her height is 159 cm.

And now, let's look at the secrets of style using the example of Kim Kardashian.

How not to dress up!

Previously, Kim wore leggings with various cuts, sparkly dresses and lots of costume jewelry. Such outfits visually made her height lower, and the beauty herself thicker. Also socialite preferred neon outfits, flared skirts and jeans. Thus, it was clear that she had a small stature.

Now her style has changed a lot, and it deserves to be followed by an example with Kim. She wears the following:

  • high-waisted trousers and pencil skirts;
  • tight dresses below the knee and pencil skirts;

Also, Kim prefers to wear outfits with neutral or muted shades.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Fuller Olsen

Despite the fact that Mary-Kate and Ashley are twin sisters, their height and weight differ. The first sister is 157 cm tall and weighs 41 kg, while the second sister is 155 cm tall and weighs 40 kg. The Olsen sisters have had an astonishing career in filmmaking and are now designers, producers and filmmakers.

Let's take a look at their style.

The sisters prefer Street Style and boho chic. Their look mostly consists of sunglasses, tote bag, loose sweater, boots, baggy pants or skirt. They also often combine expensive branded and inexpensive clothes in one outfit.

Mary-Kate is considered the queen of boho chic, which is why the New York Times called her a "style icon".

So let's see the photo.

Not frilly style, but it attracts attention! Mary-Kate Olsen has created an amazing casual look that looks luxurious at the same time.

Looking at the previous photos, it becomes clear that every girl can adopt their style. But the sisters prefer to wear black outfits for special occasions. As a result, they look stylish and elegant.

A successful duet is black and the style of the dress is on the floor.

And we have beauties with small stature!

I want to note that we also have many Russian stars, who are small in stature.

  • Julia Volkova - 154 cm.
  • Maxim - 160 cm.
  • Julia Savicheva - 153 cm.
  • Natalya Yeprikyan - 152 cm.

As you can see, and Russian show business there are many small and stylish women who do not have any complexes about their height!

General style rules for petite women

After analyzing most of the photographs of the stars, I came up with a few general rules which you can take on board. If these famous women world could become famous and loved, why don't you take advantage of their rules and create the perfect wardrobe?

  1. Properly selected clothes and shoes.Sleek heeled shoes can make any short woman look taller. If you are 150 cm, and you wear shoes with heels up to 12 cm, then your height will be 162 cm. At the same time, you can look at shoes with a hidden platform in the toe. Clothing should be stylish, elegant and fit your body type. It is very important that the things you choose fit well on you.
  1. Hairstyle.Hair pulled up, in the form of a high hairstyle or ponytail, as well as a bouffant in the parietal region and a bun, visually increase your height. If you have short hair, then you can make a beautiful styling, while lifting your hair up.
  1. Correct posture.It's no secret that a straight back always adds height! So never slouch or lower your head.

But, about stylish actresses with small stature who conquered Hollywood and flaunt on the red carpet, you can read in the next article.

On this, I say goodbye, do not forget to follow my posts and subscribe to the blog! Also share this post with your friends in other social posts! See you soon!

Often they cannot boast of high growth, corresponding to their screen status. It is even more unusual to see actors together who looked about the same in the movies, but in life they are different like David and Goliath. Why is it so?

According to historians, the average American man in the 19th century was a couple of inches shorter than today; the female was still about an inch short. Theater sets, seats, costumes - everything was done to this standard, and the cinema that appeared in the 20th century naturally inherited it. Changing views on proper nutrition, the influx of genes from abroad and many other factors gradually changed the face of the nation, but the cinema held on to its positions: although there were ebb and flow, the general demand for not short actors remained dominant.

The dictates of the moment invariably resulted in a return to "normal." So, the demand for tall artists who could jump into the saddle without the help of a catapult was noted in the Western era in the middle of the last century (remember John Wayne with his 193 cm) - but disappeared along with the cowboys. The burst of 1980s action-packed muscle mass has also fizzled out, proving to be a temporary phenomenon. Despite the fact that the infrastructure, "sharpened" for the "classic size", loosened and slowly changed over the decades, today it is still easier for a short actor to find a job in Hollywood than a tall artist. And he has a much better chance of reaching class A stars. Why does cinema cling to the “middle peasants” so much, you ask? There are a number of objective reasons for this.

Peter Dinklage and the cast of "Pixels"

Firstly, the standard cast of any film has a standard average height. From a purely technical point of view, it is more convenient for filmmakers to work with those who do not try to break through the upper border of the frame with their heads, especially in group scenes where the actors act in an ensemble and everyone needs to fit into one picture. If a short artist who needs to be made “higher” can still be placed on an apple box or filmed at a “winning” angle, then it will be much more difficult to “shorten” a giant.

Secondly, it is necessary to take into account the psychology of the actors themselves: stars of short stature often feel uncomfortable surrounded by those who are taller, so they try to take advantage of their influence at every opportunity and surround themselves with lower colleagues, against which they would look more advantageous. Equally, and vice versa: in the cast, where all the participants are approximately the same height, the “tower” will look like a disharmonious element and, most likely, the casting will not pass.

The third reason why tall people don't get into movies all that often is the American education system that encourages success in sports. Those who have the appropriate physical data are more likely to choose a sports ground than a drama club, and for many this becomes a decisive factor in their further career building.

As for women, their height is traditionally “adjusted” to male: you must admit, it would be ridiculous if the screen partner of the star was a girl next to whom the heartthrob would look even lower than he is. When a short actress becomes a star, then they try to select partners for her - simply because too tall partners are sheer inconvenience. For example, in Four Christmases, due to Vince Vaughn's "long" height, miniature Reese Witherspoon had to stand on a box for half of the filming.

Frame from the film "Four Christmases"


To avoid such difficulties, they try to minimize the difference - and the chain reaction is not long in coming: first, a low star a la Elizabeth Taylor (157 cm) is selected with appropriate partners, and then they, having become famous, require girls to be lower. And with each new round, the well-known anecdote about mice becomes more and more relevant. We can only be glad that Danny DeVito chose a comedic rather than a romantic role - after all, this would definitely not have remained without consequences.

There is also a very banal reason why big men often do not pass the selection sieve: since the Hollywood machine is built on stereotypes generously drawn from the collective unconscious, they try to select actors for “deep” roles in accordance with their “texture”. For example, Vitali Klitschko or Nikolai Valuev, for all their "hype", are unlikely to be trusted with the role of a sensitive person - simply because with their height and complexion they will look unconvincing in such a role. Thick neck, heavy jaw? Sorry, there are no vacancies for you. Wait until you need a club bouncer or a goofy villain for some action movie.

On the evolution of the "dream factory" in different times influenced by both fashion and activity social movements- for example, the "subversive" work of feminism, which turned metrosexuality into a trend. As a result, actors who look like ordinary guys from the crowd have become regulars today even in porn (and have great success there), and in ordinary cinema they push back jocks with big guys even more.

It is not surprising that most sought-after artists who do not know the end of offers do not reach the mark of average height (today it is 5.9 feet for men and 5.4 for women, that is, 180 and 165 cm, respectively). A new generation of stars such as Daniel Radcliffe (165 cm) or Martin Freeman (170 cm) illustrates this trend quite clearly. This is how Hollywood selection works. Most often, the "short" screen heroes prefer to hide their true growth from the public, as "not very courageous", but in the work it becomes a great help. As long as there are platform shoes, being a short artist is not a problem, but impressive physical growth can become a hindrance to work and limit creative growth. So it turns out that low people in general, they have more influence on the film process than high ones, and nothing prevents them from constantly increasing this influence.

Daniel Radcliffe and the Swiss Army Knife Man


Of course, there is no conspiracy here, and there are exceptions to any rule: for example, the well-known Clint Eastwood, Liam Neeson, Vince Vaughn, Tim Robbins,

Fans who happen to approach stars for autographs often return home embarrassed. “Everything was great, but this actor…he's so tiny,” they tell their friends. "I'll probably never be able to look at him in action movies with the same feeling again." To prevent this from happening, we can only advise you to call on Google for help and find out the growth of your idol before you see it with your own eyes. Maybe that autograph of the destruction of youthful dreams is not worth it? As seasoned people say, sometimes it's better not to know what sausage, politics and Hollywood movies are made of.

When Chenoweth recently played Maleficent in the Disney TV musical Scions, some critics pointed out that her musical number was the only scene in the film that could attract adult viewers.

1. Linda Hunt (145 cm)

Everything in the world is relative. Linda Hunt is the shortest of the well-deserved Hollywood actresses, but she has a normal, average "size" by the standards of people with a congenital deficiency of growth hormone. So, her fellow sufferer Peter Dinklage is ten centimeters shorter. Hunt became famous when, in 1982, she unexpectedly convincingly played a man (!) of Chinese origin (!!!) Billy Kwan in the political drama dangerous life and received an Oscar. Since then, she has frequently appeared on screen as a colorful character actress and occasionally works as a voice actress. Since 2009, Hunt has starred in NCIS: Los Angeles. Actresses Bonnie Hunt and Helen Hunt are her namesakes, not relatives.
