M.Y. Mystery: How tall is Beyonce?



Before reading the newest issue of Ebony seen above, I thought she was 5'6. According to numerous other sites, my thoughts seem to be accurate.

Normally, I don't waste my time on certain things like this but this kind of confused me and I do not enjoy being confused. With that said here is the quote that appears in the article titled "The Soul Of Beyonce" that appears in the April 2009 issue of Ebony magazine,

"On a sunny, crisp day in New York, Beyonce is feeling great and looking even better. She strolls into the photo studio, all smiles and on time. She greets people-many whom she's never met-makes eye contact and asks how they are doing. Her abundant, curly hair is pulled up from a youthful face that has yet to be made up. Black leggings with zip accents hug her hips; her black-white plaid shirt is topped with a crop black jacket with silver shoulder accents. The black patent leather Christian Louboutins with heels at least 6 inches high make it clear why so many mistakenly think that the petite 5-foot-3 inch superstar is really tall".


I've seen Bey in concert (she can put on a mean show) and she does not appear to be 5'3. To further add to my confusion, I recall watching the HBO First Look: The Making Of Dreamgirls, and actress Anika Noni Rose who played Lorell said she had to don really high heels to compare to the heights of Jennifer and Beyonce on film, and she's 5'2.

Things that make you go hmmm, Thursday's Scooby Doo mystery. Is this a misprint or am I being fooled?
