MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: A prominent American actress renowned for her roles in films like 'The Blue Lagoon', 'Endless Love', 'Sahara', and 'Alice', Brooke Shields’ height is 5ft 10 ½ in (179.1 cm), according to Celebrity Heights.

Is Brooke Shields a shoe model?
At 58 years of age, the actress, standing at a striking 5 ft 11 in in height even without footwear, holds a strong fascination for "exquisite" shoes, even though she isn’t specifically a shoe model.
She intentionally selects shoe styles that offer the most additional height to enhance her stature, and as a result, she often dons high heels.
According to NewsHub, she told Entertainment Tonight, "Shoes, I cannot get enough of them. I really can't. And the higher the better, even though I'm six feet tall."
"I don't care how tall I am, or the concussion I probably will get when I walk through the door. I think they're great and there are so many beautiful styles and I'm finally getting to enjoy them,” she added.
