Veronica Webb, at an exact 5ft 10 ½ (179.1 cm), is an American supermodel whose commanding height defined her runway dominance and glamorous image in the fashion world.
Her 179.1 cm stature made her a designer's dream, maximizing fabric display on the catwalk and earning her spots on covers of Vogue, Elle, and Essence as one of the first Black supermodels. Webb leveraged her height in acting roles, appearing in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever and Malcolm X, and In Too Deep.
As she noted, "being 5 feet 10½ inches helps a lot. Designers love to get as much fabric as possible in a dress." Her towering presence also shone as a writer and TV personality.
