Jean Shrimpton, at an exact 5ft 9 (175.3 cm), is an iconic English model and actress whose statuesque height became central to her 1960s fashion revolution.
Her commanding 5ft 9 frame and famously long, pretty legs—highlighted at 125 pounds—distinguished her leggy silhouette, embodying the era's ideal of elegant, towering glamour.
Key highlights include Harper's Bazaar naming her one of the 26 best models of all time in 2009, and Time magazine listing her among the 100 most influential fashion icons in 2012.
