tallest person
Loftiest of all
The tallest person is whoever exceeds all others in height within a given group or context.
The phrase often refers to the record holder globally: The tallest person ever recorded was Robert Wadlow, who stood eight feet eleven inches.
In everyday use, it simply identifies who stands highest among those present: The tallest person in the room had to duck through doorways.
