Prince and the height of his women

Were any of P's girlfriend's taller than him?

From what I can tell, Vanity was taller than P. I don't know if I have ever seen the two of them side by side, but based on pics Ihave seen, it appears that she is tall, plus the way she was bent of on the RS mag cover..so that she would appear taller than him.

I don't know if he actually dated Nona Gaye, but she appears tall too.

Vanity was not tall. Roughly the same height as Prince.

Nona Gaye on the other hand - around 6 foot tall.

eek No way could Vanity only be 5'2"....those are not the legs of someone that is that short. Brenda and Susan would have to be under 5' if that were the case. Look how long her legs are and how much taller is is than Brenda and Susan. confused

I know tall women, trust me, my girlfriend is 6 foot.

Vanity may have been slightly taller than Prince, but she is a shortass herself. Very petite. Just has a nice body, though...well proportioned.

In the movies "Action Jackson" and "The Last Dragon", Vanity appears quite petite and small in stature. mrdespues is correct - she's about the same height as Prince.

As for this particular Vanity6 photo, I think Vanity just appears taller due to being a bit closer to the camera, whereas Brenda and Susan are more towards the background so they seem shorter by comparison. (Vanity was the focus of the group, therefore I think the photo was meant to reflect that and make her stand out a little more.)

And she might just have long(er) legs for a petite woman. I've seen women like that. Plus she's very slender which also adds to the impression of height and leg length.

Kim Basinger is taller than Prince. She's 5'7".

Wow! I always thought Vanity was a tall, leggy beauty. I never would have imagined she was a shorty. smile

Ok, it must be her legs that are throwing me off. I just knew she was at least 5'6"... lol

Thanks for mentioning Kim B. I kind of suspected that she was taller than P. She never struck me as short.

It looks like all the other women that he has been with or speculated to be with, are about his height.

Yeah Vanity's legs do look mighty long for a petite woman. smile

Before I posted my last comment I looked up Kim Basinger's height and I was actually a little surprised by her being 5'7"! For some reason I thought she was much taller than that, even! lol I always pictured her towering over Prince but with his heels on I guess they'd be about eye to eye.

Yep I think P usually stays in his general height range. smile
