Kate Moss Body Height And Other Body Measurements
Unlike the tall and buxom supermodels of the late 80s (Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford), Kate Moss possessed a waif-like figure characterized by a very skinny body coupled with angular bone structure. Her eccentric body structure earned her the moniker “anti-model”. She is indeed one of the foremost fashion figures who made “The waif look” more acceptable in fashion circles.
In 1996, Moss faced severe criticisms over her weight following a Calvin Klein underwear ad campaign which emphasized her very skinny features. However, she always insisted that she was not anorexic. She eventually overcame the criticisms and was able to establish herself as one of the models to be reckoned with in her generation.
Being a model, you are right to expect her to possess the best body stats which should be a yardstick for other women. Yes, Kate doesn’t disappoint here; her bust is size 34 inches or 86.5cm, with her waist being 26 inches or 66cm. Coming down her hips, she is size 35 inches or 89cm. All these weigh about 55kg or 121lbs standing at 5 feet 7 inches. Kate wears a dress size of US size 4 or EU size 34. Her shoes are normally US size 7 or size 37 EU.
