Zilin Zhang 張梓琳 182cm (UPDATED)

Zilin Zhang (張梓琳) was the winners of both Miss China and Miss World in 2007. No Asian had ever been crowned Miss World before her. In school, Zilin Zhang was a good student and also a great athlete, who excelled in hurdle and triple jump. Competing in a high level sport surely contributed to her fit figure. Combined with her height and an beautiful yet amiable face, it's by no mean a coincidence that she won those beauty contests. 

She is very tall (182cm = 6') for a female even by the Western world standard. In the popular China-based forum 'Tianya', there was a thread discussing about how Zilin Zhang always outshines other beauties in group photos. Her towering height may be a decisive factor of that, in additional to her gorgeous face.

Kumai Yurina 熊井友理奈 182cm

Kumai Yurina (熊井友理奈) is a Japanese pop singer belonged to the idol group 'BerryZ Koubou (Berryz工房)'. Back when she was at the age of 15, Kumai already reached 178cm (5'10). As a result, Kumai has always been dwarfing other members of BerrryZ Koubou when they stand together. One of Kumai's best friends in Berryz since childhood is Tsugunaga Momoko (嗣永桃子), who is only 149.8cm (4'11) tall. The 32cm height difference (身長差) they present is absolutely stunning in some of the group photos.

A common estimate of Kumai's height since she stopped growing is 182cm (6'), although she claimed to be only 178cm (5'10) tall. The average height of Japanese female is only 158cm (5'2), so it's not hard to see why Kumai always stands out.

Mai Phương Thúy 184cm

Mai Phương Thúy was the 10th Miss Vietnam. On the English Wikipedia at this point she is recorded as 188cm (6'2) tall. In the Vietnamese version, however, she's currently recorded as 179cm (5'10.5). On the other hand, the majority of the material I found with Google claimed she is 184cm tall, so I just took this median value among the three as her height in the title. Mai might look quite mature but she's only 25 years old now, as she's born in 1988.
