"Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my savior. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important."
~ Elle Macpherson
There are models and then there are supermodels. Elle Macpherson certainly belongs in the latter category -- if for nothing but her elegant and tall figure.
Elle is super tall. She once mentioned her height as six feet and from what we have seen of her, we think she is just as tall -- she is definitely taller than Claudia Schiffer who is around 5'11" (180 cm) and as tall as the famous Uma Thurman who is known being very tall at six feet (183 cm).
Moreover, Elle appeared to be of the same height as Johnatan Ross, and Ashton Kutcher, who are both 6'3". Elle, of course, had heels on, but it still counts for something.
Another proof of Elle's super tall stature is her leg length, which is 123 cm (48.5 inches). This is very long but still possible for a woman of her stature.
Perhaps the only supermodel of Elle's era taller than her is Karlie Kloss who is around 6'2" (188 cm).
The real height of Elle Macpherson is
6" or 183 cm
