Beyonce’s stage presence is nothing short of iconic. With her charisma, confidence, and undeniable talent, she easily commands the spotlight—not to mention her dance moves that captivate her fans.
When it comes to appearances, the stage may be tricky, though. The costumes and heels that Beyonce wears on stage may give the impression that she’s taller than her real height.
For example, did you know that Lady Gaga is only 5’1” tall? Probably not because her stage appearance makes her look taller—the same goes for Beyonce.
So, can you guess Beyonce’s height? Find out all about it here.
What’s Beyonce’s Real Height?

Beyonce’s real height is 5 feet, 7 inches. However, her toned and athletic shape gives off the impression that she’s taller than that—being on the stage also probably makes you seem taller than you are.
The star has been accused of trying to make herself taller than she is because she’s insecure about her height. Some people also wrote that she always chooses to wear high heels to give an illusion of being tall. However, that’s highly unlikely because Beyonce isn’t even short.
The average woman’s height in the US is 5 feet, 4 inches, which actually makes Beyonce taller than average.
How Does Beyonce Maintain Her Great Shape?
How do you think Beyonce stays in great shape even as she grows in age? Well, the answer is pretty obvious, though easier said than done: working out and following a strict diet routine.
Harsh Workout Routine
It’s not uncommon for stars to have vigorous workout routines. Their job needs great stamina since they dance, sing, and hype up the crowd—sometimes in very tight clothes, which makes it hard to breathe.
Back in 2015, Beyonce’s trainer, Marco Borges, revealed how she maintains her shape by sharing her leg workout plan. At the time, he was responsible for her fitness regime, and he even influenced her conversion to veganism, though she’s no longer a vegan.
The workout plan consisted of jumping lunges, plié Jumps, pelvic lifts, and reverse squat kicks. Of course, that was 9 years ago, so she’s now probably following a different routine, but at least you have an idea of what her exercises look like. She reportedly now follows a mix of weight lifting, calisthenics, and interval training.
One fan once followed a similar workout routine and expressed how hard it was, even though she only followed it for one week.
That great shape didn’t come by easily, after all!
Strict Diet Plan
Working out isn’t the only thing Beyonce does to stay in shape. She reportedly also follows a pretty strict diet plan with no bread, no sugar, no carbs, no fish, no dairy, no meat, and no alcohol. It’s mostly a plant-based diet with a significant calorie deficit, and it helps her stay within the recommended weight limit for her age and demanding job.
She stated that her diet didn’t only improve her shape and help her stay slim, but it also improved her skin and overall health.
How Did Beyonce Become Famous?

Beyoncé, born and raised in Houston, began her career performing in talent shows and singing in choirs before joining the group Girl’s Tyme, which later became Destiny’s Child.
Her standout talent led to a successful solo career, earning her 23 Grammy wins and 66 nominations, including record-breaking victories in 2004 (five Grammys) and 2010 (six Grammys). Beyond music, she starred in films like Dreamgirls and Austin Powers.
Married to music mogul Jay-Z in 2008, they are now the highest-earning couple in Hollywood history, with a combined net worth estimated at $3 billion as of January 2025.
Final Thoughts
Having a body like Beyonce’s doesn’t come as a hit of luck. Even if your genetics are in your favor, you have to work hard for a body like that, which is what Beyonce does. She follows a strict diet and exercise plan that helps her stay in shape for her highly demanding job.
That’s why even though she has an average height of 5’7”, her figure is perfectly proportional.
