Small On Size, Big On Beauty: The Hottest Petite Celebrities

Oh, yes, we love petite hotties simply because we look tall.  Just kidding.  We like them small women because there’s something about them that makes them hotter than usual.  Oh, yes, and cuteness…  hotness plus cuteness is just the best.  Those two combined…  just irresistible.

Now, we’ve compiled the hottest petite celebrities and this is in no order of hotness.  So get ready to feel huge and handsome with this listicle.  Oh, and if you know one who is not on this list, please comment below.

Kristin Chenoweth stands 4’11”

Kristin Chenoweth‘s petite stature is no match for her incredible vocal range!  At only 4’11”, the Broadway star has one of the most powerful voices ever to grace the stage.

The “Slow” singer is only 5 feet tall, but her voice is much larger than that.  With seven UK number one and numerous awards under her belt, the Australian singer is a force to be reckoned with!

Hayden Panettiere stands 5’0″

For a total of 5 feet in height, nobody would call Hayden Panettiere tall or above average in any way.  But the beautiful actress’s lack of inches in the vertical department is in no way determinant of her ability to own a room with her presence.

Hayden Panettiere

Panettiere’s breakthrough role was as the cheerleader in the sci-fi TV show Heroes.  Her illustrious career, which she started at just one-year-old, is not the extent of her amazingness.  She’s also heavily involved in charity work.

The eldest of the sisters is also the smallest.  With model sisters Khloe and Kendall towering over her, Kourtney’s 5’0″ frame is frequently dwarfed in family photos.

The reality TV star’s height, however, is no match for her global fame!  Kourtney, like the rest of her famous family, has her own brands, earns money from the eponymous long-running show, and is one of the most family-oriented members of the clan.
