Are there any 5'6 models and if so how much should they weigh?

Answer 1

If you are asking if there are models of that height with the fame level of Gisele, then your answer would be no. However, I do know that 5'6" is the minimum height required for most modeling agencies. As for a weight, it would be best for you to compare the BMI (Body Mass Index) of models such as Heidi Klum and match that number to a height of 5'6". So in Heidi Klum's case, her agency measurements were (pre-baby) 5'9" at a weight of 119lbs, making her BMI at that weight and height 17.6. For a height of 5'6" you would have to weigh a mere 109lbs to have a BMI of 17.6. Please remember that the BMI doesn't account for more than an average amount of muscle rather than fat which means that you could weigh more and be muscular (muscle weighs more than fat) and have just as great of a figure. Lastly, please note that a BMI that falls under 18.5 is considered underweight and dangerous. I know that it seems like a small difference but when you factor in that having a BMI of 30 or more is considered obese, you can see how sigificant being .9 points underweight really is health wise.
