Skinny VS Curvy

2 in 1 post!

First request: Some of you wanted to see the beautiful Kimberley Walsh (Girls Aloud) at the Cosmopolitan Awards – well, here she is, looking stunning in long white dress.

Second request: Many of you wanted tips for curvy pear shapes – I’ve already answered in a post, but since the requests keep going strong, here they are again (taking advantage of the fact that Kimberley here is a classic pear herself). So here are some basic tips and tricks on how to dress your pear shaped figure!

What You Need in Your Closet:

- A-line skirts (but not too wide)

- belted coats, jackets and trench coats (the belt should be on your on waist, not lower)

- flat-front pants and skirts, make sure they don’t make any bulges on your hips

- you can wear puffy sleeves or more volume on top, especially on your shoulders (like ruffles) to balance out your figure

- flared jeans, classic jeans, wide-leg pants, just nothing too tight

- long boots, till the knee (with heels even better) will balance your body

- dresses! you can wear many kinds, especially the ones that hug your waist and fall nicely on your hips, A-line dresses, wrap dresses, middle-length dresses (you can even try pencil dresses IF they have slightly puffy shoulders, you might look great in them). And check out how great Kimberley looks in this backless dress right here!

- classic pumps or peep-toes elongate the legs as well, especially the nude-colored ones with thinner heels

- ideally, but not mandatory: light or bright colors on top, darker colors on the bottom (but not just black, try navy, deep green, deep violet, burgundy, browns, grey)

- unlike V-shapes, you are advised to wear accessories on top – necklaces, big earrings, scarves, etc., they will attract eyes on your top half

- ANY top that shows off your waist

Here’s someone we haven’t seen before: 35 year-old actress and former model Natasha Henstridge.

Natasha is the owner of a curvy figure that Trinny and Susannah named “The Cello”. Basically, a cello is a slightly wider hourglass, a very proportionate curvy figure with a larger bone structure. Cello girls have broad shoulders, a relevant bust, curvy hips, waist definition (yet not your typical super tiny waist) and strong thighs, sometimes a slight tummy and they look great even at higher weighs, since their weight is evenly distributed and they’ve got a larger frame.

In case your figure is similar, here are a few fast tips on how to dress to make the most of your curvy body:

- V necklines that flatter your impressive cleavage and elongate the torso

- Pencil skirts and A-line skirts, but not so much balloon or puffy skirts

- Structured, tailored tops that accentuate your waist, but not so much baggy clothing, layering and pointless volumes

- Smart blazers, buttoned cardigans that hug the figure, office shirts, 50′s and 60′s dresses

- Pretty much anything that says “formal” and “classic”

How do you guys like Natasha’s figure?

The 7th Annual Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party took place yesterday and a big bunch of young celebs attended – first one on the list, Raven-Symone, who wore an all-black outfit and some silver bling.

Raven looks best in outfits that accentuate her waist line, doesn’t she?

How do you like her look?

Hilary Duff made an appearance at Bryant Park in New York City on Saturday night and she looked really good in a classy little office-like outfit.
