Raven-Symone in a Green Dress
October 22, 2008 in Body Type and Clothes, Raven-Symone by Versus
We aim to present a wide range of celebrity body shapes around here – and even if Raven doesn’t perfectly fit in our curvy category, I’m pretty sure that she’s got a common body type.
Looking at these pictures of Raven, I’m immediately thinking that she’s got a typical V body shape – we can call also call it reversed triangle or cornet: wide shoulders (virtually wider than the hips), large bust, broad back – long story short, she carries more weight in her upper half.
Now a sleeveless dress that embraces the hips isn’t exactly a MUST BUY and MUST WEAR on the triangle body shape. But what would be ideal for Raven?
Turn the page!
1. YES to A-line, fitted skirts (that are ample at the bottom) – Ironically, this type of skirts also flatters the opposite body shape, the pear – but in the pear’s case, the A-line skirt is meant to camouflage the hips, while in the V shape’s case, it has the role to create a balance between the broad shoulders and smaller bottom.
2. YES to V necks – Raven is sporting some V neck herself, but she’s look even better with a deeper V cleavage.
3. NO to (multiple) ankle straps – unless you’re skinny or tall, since they unnecessarily cut the leg – multiple times.
4. YES to well-fitted blazers that accentuate (or virtually create) the waist.
5. NO massive accessories on the arms / neck / chest, but YES to delicate ones or to very long thin necklaces that create the illusion of a longer torso.
OMG!! What happened to this girl?? She looks BAD! IMO, she looks like a man dressed in drag. Sorry!
in the first picture her face looks so crumpled like she has just bitten into a lemon.
Def. the worst outfit for her figure.
Oh, and I think it’s funny she’s trying to do the “skinny pose” with the hands-your-hips, sucking-it-in stance.
How dumb its not exactly funny but hey at least shes Trying to look good while being a little on the heavy side. Have you seen her Now? Lost weight haha go laugh at that
fuckin ewww.
so terrible. Not only is this dress making her body look terrible but her face has dramatically gone wider and fuller. but hey, shes proud of her curves, right =\
1. Her face looks darker than her arms. 2. What means IMO?
wow she looks awful
IMO = In My Opinion
Ashley: She puts her hands on hips to balance her wide shoulders/wide back, it because she has narrow lower hips(common on Inverted triangle Body Type)
Thanks musko:)
not class A hot
she looks like at least 40 years old
i feel like she’s gonna be the next Kirstie Alley
she really needs to start taking care of herself
she looks horrid
i feel bad for the girl
I’m sorryyy, cause i think she’s a lovely girl, but she looks revolting /:
totally wrong outfit, makeup, and hair!
I used to watch her in That’s So Raven, and she had gorgeous curves, and was so stunning, now she’s just gone so huge. and it’s looking bad !
Poor girl.

There is nothing wrong with Raven’s figure. I think she’s georgous. The only thing I would say is the dress she’s wearing doesn’t flatter her figure. I don’t even think she’s fat. She’s average.
I think her main problem is not so much weight as shape. She’d look much more aesthetically pleasing I think if she had a pear shape. She could have dressed better for what she has but I can understand not wanting to wear the same styles all the time. I do like the dress but it’s not flattering on her.
I think she looks beautiful skinny or curvy. Her curves and her humor made her beautiful IMO.
