Tyra is 5 feet, 10 inches tall. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the average American woman stands 5 feet, 3.8 inches tall, so by that standard, Tyra Banks’ height is quite exceptional. But how does the “America’s Top Model” host stack up against others in her field?

Tyra’s height makes her taller than supermodels Naomi Campbell (5 feet, 9.5 inches), Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington (both 5 feet, 9 inches), and Kate Moss (5 feet, 6 inches).
