Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts: “I’m a Size 6(UK)”
March 5, 2010 in Celebrity Weight & Measurements, Nicola Roberts by Versus
Everyone keeps talking about my weight, which I find so ridiculous.
I’m a size 6 and I’m not ashamed of that – I have a naturally small frame and it’s the way I’ve always been. I’ve not been starving myself or exercising every day.It’s irresponsible for people to obsess over it because I don’t want girls to feel they have to be the same shape. I’ve never been a gym bunny,’ she laughs. ‘Walking the dogs is my only exercise – that’s enough for me.
… says Nicola (24).
she IS very small-framed…
but she looks good, overall.
She’s always had the best figure in Girls’ Aloud (although nobody noticed because she was the plain one). She does seem to have lost a bit of weight recently, though, which she totally didn’t need to do.
I really see no bones popping out or anything thats out of the ordinary dont know what a size 6 uk is im assuming maybe a two here or 4 so whatever. She looks like a regular tiny gal.
More like a 0-2.
a small 0
Wow! It’s crazy how Jessica Simpson is a size 4 and Jessica looks 4 times bigger.
They have different sizing in Europe, like Natasha O said a Uk 6 is equivalent to an American 2 or 4.
more like a 0-2. i know an AU 6 is a US 0. AU sizes are a tiny bit smaller than UK ones. our 6 seems to be their 4-6 and so on.
shes always been this slim since she made Girls Aloud in 2002, Her ex-bandmates always claimed she had a high metabolism which hey were all jealous off because she can eat whatever she wants and won’t gain as fast as a normal person would. How mean, im so jealous. Shes stunning though, love her look, she doesn’t try too hard.
What do you mean ex-bandmates? They haven’t split up they’re just taking a break. And they said they’re gonna start recording the album in 2010 so they can tour again in 2011. They’ve got a recording contract for 3years, but that thing about the high metabolism is true.
Her head is very disproportionate to the rest of her but I don’t follow Girls Aloud, so I have no idea if she’s normally like this. She looks like a very petite woman. I like her legs.
Amen! I HATE it when people always assume skinny people starve themselves or work out religiously. Genetics actually plays a big part. Both of my parents are tiny as anything and not very tall – it wouldn’t make sence for me to be a big person and I believe its the same with her!
Sizing: size 6 uk is a 34 eu and a 0-2 us (personal experience talking overhere); funny thing is i am also a size 6 uk – that’s what tags say, so i suppose – and i look a lot like her. Judging only by this pictures, however, i don’t really know who she is. But that’s about how my legs and arms look in pictures, too. Weird, i’ve never seen a celebrity looking so much like me.
She’s a member of the british girlband, Girls Aloud.
I honestly think that she’s beautiful. Look at that skin! It’s flawless and just so pretty. Her hair compliments it so well.
When one is naturally a size uk6/us0-2 they don’t have bones poking out. That said she doesnt’ have an inch of fat but isn’t bony. Great figure and she really knows how to dress for her body
She’s cute. I like her unique look.
she looks way skinnier and narrower than me and im a zero. no way a UK 6 is a 2-4. There is just no way.
Nahh it’s more of a US size zero.. my mate went to the states, she’s a size 8 here and she was getting size 2 clothes there. =]
UK sizes are 4 sizes bigger than US.
So a UK 6 = US 2.
UK 8 = US 4.
US 10 = US 6.
And so on.
From my experience (years of living in all places), a UK 6 is a US 0, a UK 8 is a US 2, UK 10 a US 4, etc. Though of course vanity sizing is constantly changing things…
well technically, 2 sizes bigger but 4 numbers bigger. lol sorry
I think she looks great and she’s really found her own sense of style within Girls Aloud. She got SO much stick when they first started out and was horribly labelled as being the ugly duckling of the group, she’s a strong girl and she should be proud of herself like she’s now become. She’s got a lovely figure and looks fab!
UK size 6 is supposedly a US size 2, but with the obesity epedimic and vanity sizing I’d say it’s more a US size 0. I think the US uses more vanity sizing than we do here (from personal experience).
I agree!! I’m from UK and noticed the discrepancy between sizes when I was in the US
UK size 6 is a US size 2 and an AUS size 6
UK size 8 is a US size 4 and an AUS size 8
UK size 10 is a US size 6 and an AUS size 10
These are the facts and if they don’t seem right it’s cause some clothes are vanity sizing. But if the sizes are the proper measurments than these sizes will correspond.
Well yes, facts don’t match reality. if you use fact, a eu 34 would be a us 4. Which is ridiculous. To put it nicely.
I am surprised the “Real Women Have Curves” brigade haven’t shown up yet *roles eyes*
Anyway Nicola has a great figure, some women are naturally thin, it doesn’t make them any less of a woman.
i think its pretty clear she doesn’t go to the gym, she has absolutely no visible muscle tone. As for whether she is truly naturally thin or not, there is no way to tell…the fact that she has no bones sticking out is meaningless to me…i have a BMI of 21 and still have chest bones sticking out, it means nothing.
I’ve never heard a song by this “band”, but it sounds like all these girls do is talk about their bodies and dress sizes. Fascinating….
you fool
She is a petite person so she looks fine at this size.
She doesn’t look unhealthy or emaciated at all.
The sizing all depends on the brand and the cut. I wear an UK8 in Reiss, a UK8 in French Connection, a UK8 or 10 in Topshop depending on the item, a US0 or a 2 in J.Crew, a Danish34 in Day Birger et Mikkelsen, a French38 in Chloe, an Italian 36 in Patrizia Pepe etc. Generally speaking the brands whose primary target is teen/ early 20`s will be cut smaller in compariso to a 20`s/ early 30`s -as seen on their measurement charts- e.g. a Topshop UK8 hip is 34, whereas a FCUK is 35.5.
As stated by a previous poster add 4 to a US size to find its US equivalent US4 +4 = UK8; generally speaking.
No names do not have this problem; i but most of my clothes from that as i have noticed the bigger the brand the smaller chances i find anything. I am a normal eu 34 but in the past year it’s been getting really hard to find clothes, as most brands don’t have smaller than 34 and that 34 is bigger than a no name. I’m from Eastern Europe, we didn’t have any problems with sizes up until about 4-5 years ago.
I’m pleasantly surprised to see that there are no comments along the lines of, “OMG SHE IS LYING! SHE STARVES HERSELF THAT’S WHY SHE IS THIN, ALL CELEBRITIES ARE LIARS!!” etc etc.
I believe her. She doesn’t have the most envious body, but hey, she looks good and happy, and that’s all that matters.
a uk size 6 is a us size 2.im a size 6-8 and us size2,3 or 4 depending on where you buy the clothes from.
i don’t think she looks like a six, unless it’d be really tight. more like an eight. she’s not tiny, really, just petite.
You’re delusional.
She is absolutely tiny, about 5ft5 or 5ft6 and only 8 stone!
that’s not too bad… at least she’s not going super skinny
Yeah I guess it’s just within the healthy weight range for her height and build but definitely the minimum.
Impressed – you managed to work out that from a PHOTO!! I’ll believe you because I’m totally confident that you’re a better judge of her clothing size than she is…..
She’s always been this size I think. All the other girls have fluctuated, but she was this skinny and it looks pretty natural.
I saw a film about them and she seemed very nice; it showed her driving home from London every weekend to see her little brothers – pretty sweet.
Cheryl Cole on the other hand needed a good slap. WHAT a bitch she seemed to be!!
I agree. Nicola and kim are the same size when they were in popstars
Nadine and cheryl have lost lots of weight, sarah has lost a fair bit.
i’m from the uk and the reason she doesn’t gain weight is because she has an illness which means her metabolism is very high, she speaks openly about it and how she cannot afford to diet as it is a health risk. shes a beautiful down to earth girl. and a uk six is a us 2 x
Yeah I also read about her having anemia and being hyperglycemic and saying that she couldn’t diet or it could make her very ill.
I wish i was a size 6, i am an 8 though… I think she looks great ..
She’s so interesting looking, i like
I think Size Six is becoming more common.
Yeah, because it used to be called size 8!
