Amy Adams, the American actress known for her roles in films like The Muppets, Arrival, Enchanted, Junebug, Nocturnal Animals, The Master, and American Hustle, stands at 5 feet 3 ½ inches (161.3 cm). However, she often rounds up her height in interviews, referring to herself as 5’4″.

To put it in context, this is slightly below the average height of an American woman, approximately 5 feet 4 inches (163 cm).

In an interview with Female First, the actress acknowledged that her short height sometimes limits her clothing choices. She explained that she isn’t drawn to particular designers but specific dresses and fabrics.

I love the art of fashion but I’m five foot four, so it’s not designed to be perfect on my body. My fashion is more practical because, alas, I’m not five foot ten and aged 16. It’s one of the comments I get: ‘Oh gosh, you’re so small!’ Ben Affleck said that.

Like her long-lost “twin,” Isla Fisher, Amy Adams frequently wears ankle-strap heels. We’ve also spotted Isla in her champagne-colored Sergio Rossi crisscross pumps.

In November 2012, the other “twin” wore a pair of black ankle-strap pumps wrapped in satin while attending the Gotham Independent Film Awards held in New York. The red-haired beauty used the shoes to punctuate an edgy peplum-detailed LBD by Giorgio Armani.
