As a successful American actress, producer, and screenwriter, Jada Pinkett Smith has tackled her career head-on. Famous for her work in The Nutty Professor, A Different World, and Girls Trip, Jada also played Niobe in three of The Matrix films.

Jada is short, at only 4ft 11 ½ (151.1 cm), compared to the US women’s average of 5’4”. “When I have on heels, I’m probably Five-Two…depending on the height of the heel, but with no heels, I’m probably like Five feet, maybe Four-Eleven,” Jada told Wired in 2019 about her petite 4ft 11 ½ (151.1 cm) height.
Jada Pinkett Smith’s shoe size is 6 US. When converted to other shoe size systems, it approximately corresponds to 4.5 in the UK, 37 in the EU, and 23.5 in Japan.
She often turns to high heels to boost her height, and Your Next Shoes has featured her stylish choices. Whether wearing bold Christian Louboutin pumps or elegant Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, Jada’s footwear always adds sophistication and height to her red carpet looks. Her favorite footwear brands include Fendi, Jimmy Choo, Alaïa, and Gianvito Rossi.

Jada’s petite stature becomes even more noticeable when she stands beside her immediate family members. Being married to the towering American actor, film producer, and rapper Will Smith would make most women appear shorter, but this is especially true for Jada.

As if this weren’t enough, some women stand even shorter than Jada, with singer and actress Kristin Chenoweth being just 4ft 10 (147.3 cm).
Despite her small stature, Jada Pinkett Smith has made a big statement in Hollywood, showing women worldwide that it is okay to be short.
