The tallest and shortest women in the world recently shared a heartwarming moment over afternoon tea in London. On Guinness World Records (GWR) Day, Rumeysa Gelgi and Jyoti Amge, two extraordinary record holders, met for the first time at The Savoy Hotel. This iconic “girls’ day out” was a celebration of their unique journeys and mutual admiration.
Rumeysa, who stands at an impressive 215.16 cm (7 ft 0.7 in), holds the title of the tallest woman living, while Jyoti, at just 62.8 cm (2 ft 0.7 in), has been recognised as the shortest woman living (mobile) for over ten years. Despite their remarkable height difference of 152.36 cm (five feet), they quickly bonded over their shared love of fashion, self-care, and, of course, delicious tea and pastries.
The meeting was a blend of laughter, stories, and inspiration, showcasing the strength of their individuality and the joy of embracing life’s unique paths. As Guinness World Records described it, the moment was “a lavish girls’ day out” that celebrated the beauty of diversity.
