Iggy Azalea Height, Weight and Body Measurements

Iggy Azalea is commonly listed at about 5 ft 10 in / 178 cm, with a tall, slim build, and online estimates of her weight sit near 130 to 140 lb (59 to 64 kg). She hasn’t confirmed any of it, so treat the numbers as approximate. As of 2026 she is 36.

Quick facts

Height and stage presence

At around 5 ft 10 in, Iggy is tall for a woman and taller than many of her male collaborators, which became part of her visual identity. In her videos she’s often framed with long, low angles that emphasise leg and stride, and she tends to pair that with heels and bold silhouettes. Her build is generally described as tall and slim, and she has talked about changes to her look over the years, though she hasn’t published official numbers. The weight range above is the sort of estimate fan sites repeat, not a confirmed stat.

From Mullumbimby to Miami

Iggy grew up in a small town in northern New South Wales and became fascinated by hip-hop as a teenager. By her own account she wrote lyrics as a kid and decided early that she wanted to rap in the United States. At 16 she moved to the United States, living in Miami and later Houston, to try her luck in the music industry. It was a risky leap, and she has often described the early years as a grind of odd jobs and independent recording.

Mixtapes and breakthrough

Her 2011 mixtape Ignorant Art built buzz, and the video for “Pu$$y” drew attention online. She signed with T.I.’s Grand Hustle label and was named in the XXL Freshman class, a respected stamp for rising rappers. Her debut studio album, The New Classic (2014), was a commercial success and brought the singles that defined her peak.

“Fancy”

The single “Fancy”, featuring Charli XCX, became a worldwide smash in 2014 and reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, while “Problem” with Ariana Grande also reached the upper end of the chart; for a time she held the top two positions at once, a feat that had been achieved by very few acts. She was nominated for several Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist. She also drew debate over her authenticity as a white Australian rapper, a conversation covered widely in the press, and she has addressed it in interviews and in her later music.

The “Fancy” video, a riff on the film Clueless, added to the song’s reach, and the track became a staple of pop radio in 2014. It remains her signature hit.

Later releases

She released In My Defense (2019) and moved to independent releases, eventually starting her own projects, including fashion and content ventures. Her later music includes the album The End of an Era (2021) and a string of singles that mix hip-hop with club-pop. After the heights of 2014, she took a more independent route, working on her own terms rather than within a major label structure, which she has said gave her more control over her output.

Style

Known for high-fashion and bold outfits, she is often photographed in structured, statement looks. Her visual signature includes sharp tailoring and bright colours, and she has appeared on magazine covers and in fashion campaigns alongside her music career.

What fans ask

The simplest question is how tall she is, and most sources agree on about 5 ft 10 in. Fans are also curious about her accent, since she’s Australian but raps in a Southern American style; she has explained that she moved to the US as a teenager and adapted to the hip-hop she loved. Others ask what to listen to first. For her biggest moment, start with The New Classic; for a more recent snapshot, try the independent releases.

People also ask whether she’s still making music. She has continued to release songs and projects, and she remains active on social media, where she shares behind-the-scenes content and updates.
