Alexandra Shipp, precisely 5ft 5 ½ (166.4 cm) tall, commands the screen with a petite yet powerful presence that enhances her versatile roles. Her stature adds an intimate intensity to her portrayal of singer Aaliyah in the Lifetime film Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B (2014) and Kimberly Woodruff in the Oscar-nominated Straight Outta Compton (2015).
Shipp's height perfectly suits her breakout as the commanding Storm in the X-Men franchise, starting with X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), where her compact frame belies the character's elemental might. She shone as the relatable Abby Suso in the romantic comedy Love, Simon (2018), her 166.4 cm frame amplifying the film's heartfelt charm, and as Susan Wilson in Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tick, Tick... Boom! (2021).
