Woman, 29, had world's second longest pair of legs - and loves showing them off ¶
Published on July 7, 2020
Rentsenkhorloo Bud, a 29-year-old woman from Mongolia, has the second longest pair of legs in the world. Her legs measure 52.8ins from hip to heel, just short of the 53ins world record held by 16-year-old Maci Currin, from Austin, Texas.
Originally from Mongolia, Rentsenkhorloo now lives in Chicago. She comes from a tall family, with her dad standing at 6ft 10in and her mum at 6ft 1in. Despite her extraordinary height, Rentsenkhorloo loves to show off her legs in shorts and high heels.
"I like to wear shorts and high heels especially so my legs look more long," she said. "I love my long legs, and I think they make me more beautiful."
However, Rentsenkhorloo's height also comes with its challenges. She often struggles to find clothes that fit, and doorways are often too short for her. "The doorways are so short for me. I hate to hit my head on doorways!" she said.
Despite these challenges, Rentsenkhorloo has learned to love her height. "When I was younger, I felt so bad because of my height. Some people made me feel uncomfortable, but nowadays it seems like I'm seen more as unique, so that's why I feel so good," she said.
Now, Rentsenkhorloo has even started to do some modelling work, working with a brand that specializes in leggings for tall girls. "Being tall is beautiful, and you can look so unique from other people," she said.
