‘Almost Bikini Treat’: Hilary Duff
August 2, 2011 in Hilary Duff by Versus
Hilary Duff is not exactly in a bikini like Adriana in the previous post, but she’s still having fun in the sun in a little black number.
Looking nice and healthy!
See her more!
she looks better than before!
i see some weight loss?
She looks better than expected from the back:)I don’t get why she wouldn’t wear a bikini,it would show off her lovely figure more and not to mention she must get the strangest tan lines from that
Very average/slightly chubby. Broad shoulders, boxy frame, and no waist. I can think of 100s of people I’d rather look like :p
yea well I have broad shoulders also but thanks for being a b*tch and saying that is unattractive
Lauren, don’t let such comments get to you so much. Everyone has their tastes and Angela was just expressing her’s, which honestly she has a right to..she can not like broad shoulders if that pleases her.
However, if it makes you feel better, not everyone feels that way. I love broad shoulders on a woman, as long as they are not broader than the hips. Candice Swanepoel is a perfect example…I don’t know, the broad shoulders on figures like that just make the body look so ideal and developed (like one’s genes told their libs to develop to their full potential, weird, I know, but that’s what I feel), and also emphasize the waist, and you can wear clothes really well.
limbs not libs.
Yeah, don’t take it personally Lauren, I have broad shoulders too and they are my favourite thing about my body since they balance me out.
:)
I completly agree. My shoulders are the same width as my hips and they make my body look balanced
Casey- I always thought Candice’s shoulders were slightly wider than her hips- for example in the photograph on the right in this link: http://tinyurl.com/3wo9lee
I’ve got shoulders slightly broader than my hips and I hate them- I always look in the mirror and wish I could transfer a couple of inches from my upper to my lower half! Ah well
@Zoe,
I think in some pictures it looks that way, probably because of angles and such, but in most of her candids they look about the same width.
What if Lauren’s shoulders are wider than her hips? Then do you not like her shoulders anymore?
@Alyssa
Depends on how much wider, and the overall body, which is the key point…it’s hard to say whether anyone will like anyone’s body based on one feature alone.
Really though, a preference is not something a person can change. You seem to getting yourself very upset over this notion, feeling like people can force themselves or should force themselves to find something attractive when they don’t.
Like I said, I don’t usually find Hilary’s type of body attractive, but on her I do. Was it because I forced myself? No, I looked at her and felt, “That’s a good body,” and that’s all.
It’s innate, not deliberate. And the best part is, not everyone feels the same. For everyone who thinks her shoulders are too broad, there’s one who thinks her shoulders are the perfect width. In fact, even more, if you go by this thread in which case 80% of people are complimenting her.
lauren dont get mad, for everyone who doesnt like a body feature theres someone who does, like for example my cousin doesnt like my wide hips, but alot of other people admire them, so you cant please everyone and thats fine,,just know that
I don’t like narrow shoulders, am I being a bitch?
No, you aren’t. Although I have narrow shoulders
Actually I like them on me. The only thing which bothers me is that my narrow shoulders emphasise my pear shape-ness.
lol “hazal” ya i like the hips to be slightly wider than the shoulders (like cintia dicker) the only bad thing about narrow shoulders is that if you wear a spagetti strap shirt the straps kinda slip off
I LOVE broad shoulders Lauren! I think they look regal and well-formed; and people with them always wear clothes really well to me.
Yeah, well, I bet you find somethings unattractive too. Would you be a bitch if you tell people your opinion? Come on, you are oversensitve about your appearence. Relax. Angelas opinion shouldn’t at all be offensive to you,for it doesn’t represent absolut truth. Just an opinion. You can still be attractive to some people;
LOL as if it were a personal attack… please get over yourself and stop being so sensitive. This is a blog on celeb bodies & weight… people are going to make comments and pick apart everything. I doubt many people here actually judge random people in real life. Shoulders don’t make or break someone’s attractiveness either
yeah and she was entitled to reply- hence the reply button. and the poster was being a bitch. all she did was list everything that was wrong with hilarys body without one positive or pleasant note. if you are going to dish it out be prepared to take it.
*sarcasm*
Oh come on.
Saying someone has broad shoulders and narrow hips is not the same as calling someone fat or a porker. The word fat has come to carry such a negative connotation that it is rarely used to simply describe anyone anymore. There are ways of stating someone is large without using “porker” and “fat,” so that if those words are used, you know they are being hurled as insults.
You are basically saying no one can say, “Bar Rafaeli’s legs are short,” or, “Candice’s waist is incredibly tiny,” or, “Adriana Lima has black hair.” Seriously? What can we say then, according to you?
And the thing about those facts is, there’s two sides to each of them. Some people love Bar Rafaeli’s legs, some people hate Candice’s waist. And people debate whether Adriana should go lighter or darker in terms of hair all the time.
When you call someone fat and porker, you are not expressing simply which side you stand on. You are deliberately putting someone down.
I’ve spent a lot of time on this site, so I’ve seen a lot of that.In fact, I usually point it out and criticize it. But I have to say that everyone who has criticized the original poster has thus far made a weak case in how they have gone out of their way to be unnecessarily mean. That’s because it’s very hard to make that case as the original poster simply stated her opinion and the reason why she feels that Hilary’s body is average to her, by using non-connotative descriptions.
Lauren, I agree with you that it was an insensitive comment. This is the perfect example of why people shouldn’t be so mean when discussing celebrities’ bodies, because clearly people take it personally.
exactly. i dont know why, but people get this huge catharsis from finding someone who is famous, then finding one thing they dont like, and putting them down for it.
No idea why, but it seems to make them feel better.
you look a princess to me babe xxx
suck it up. everyone is entitled to their own opinions. you’re the one in the wrong here, responding rudely to a post that did not at all appear to be malicious. don’t be so hypersensitive.
Exactly. Why is Lauren on a site like this then? It’s self-sabotage if you’re going to take EVERYTHING so personally and think EVERY comment is about YOU
Agree Angela. I don’t like Hilary Duff’s body either. Too boxy looking. And, that bathing suit is doing no favours to her midsection, as it makes it look even more wide and shapeless. Don’t like her short muscular legs either.
I don’t think it was an insensitive comment. The original poster simply stated what they thought (Hilary Duff is average), and the reasons why. She didn’t make judgments about Hilary, (OMG SHE’S SO FAT SHE MUST BE UNHEALTHY WHY DOESN’T SHE WORK OUT MORE), nor state that broad shoulders is ultimately unattractive (MAN SHOULDERS, as I often hear). The latter things to me are the characteristics of an insensitive post.
It’s good to check rude posts because it stops the spread of insecurity, but we can’t be so domineering that we prevent people from stating their opinion in a fair way just because that opinion happens to be negative. At some point, people themselves need to be a little more confident.
If such a comment hurts you, your self-esteem is not where it should be. In that case, should you really be spending your time on sites like these? We can’t put people in protective bubbles. They have to be able to handle someone not liking what they are, and have to be able to remember that not everyone feels that way. I don’t flip out every time someone says they don’t like someone’s body because it’s too slim for them. So should no one else about whatever their body might be.
How many people are going to tell her the same exact thing? Sod off, I’m pretty sure she got the point by now.
Agree, Mina. I don’t think Angela meant to be insensitive either, but then again, Lauren’s comment got quite a few thumbs up so perhaps a lot of other people found what Angela said offensive? I don’t know :/
Agree with Angela and Anastasia. Nothing special, body wise anyway.
I like her teeth tho. I always have. I’ve also assumed she had horrible teeth to begin with (like Miley or something). The work was well worth it in my opinion.
I’m sick of people like you making absolutely rude and discouraging comments and justifying them by the fact that you have an opinion. There is NO good reason to share your dislike for someone else’s body structure. So what if it’s your opinion? Get over yourself. Just because you have an opinion doesn’t mean you have to post it. If posting that kind of degrading comment makes you feel better about yourself, you’ve got problems that require healing that you only distance yourself from by making such a comment. If your opinion doesn’t uplift anyone, it shouldnt be shared. I like to visit this website because it’s comforting and encouraging to see people I can physically relate to, among the variety of body shapes and sizes, looking fit and healthy, enjoying their lives. Seriously, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
And if your feelings are too easily hurt then don’t read comment sections. Seriously get over YOURself.
My feelings aren’t hurt. My point was: there is NO good reason to post negative comments. So why go out of your way to be discouraging?
they’re more than likely not going out their way some of us are just mean little bitches who no matter what we say will always seem as such.
An opinion is an opinion; freedom of speech people. We can say what we like, even if it means you don’t. It’s called having preferences and tastes; not everyone is GOING to like everyone’s bodies, and well, why should they? And I think it can be said tactfully.
Considering this site is called skinny vs curvy, I couldn’t think of a better or more appropriate place to state your opinions on someone’s body. If you guys don’t want to read the comments here then leave.
I just have to reiterate: yes you can have an opinion and you can have preferences. But there’s no point in voicing the opinions that only serve to tear people down. Freedom of speech… Your actions and words shouldn’t reflect what you CAN do and say but what you SHOULD do and say.
All I’m proposing is that people only COMMENT on what they do like and appreciate. In no way does that involve stripping anyone of their right to an opinion.
Just have the decency to keep useless and hurtful opinions to yourself.
have you read the credo of the site? A place where we can see and celebrate bodies of all shapes and sizes, how does ‘boxy, broad and not enviable’ celebrate anything??
Yeah.. what if you made a coment like “i dont like how dark skin looks” isnt that kind of rude?
She is anything but chubby. Don’t be fooled just because she is short and broad in build. Her body fat level looks pretty decent here. There are many skinnier girls who are way way flabbier.
Very harsh, you can think of hundreds of people you’d rather look like, but what DO YOU actually look like? I would be very interested in.
i love her. fit, not skinny.
She looks ok, but what’s up with her upper right leg in the second picture? It’s pointed!
There is a towel blocking part of her leg. It tripped me up too.
ahahahahaha that confused me too til I saw the towel!
nvm it’s the towel in front I’m dumb lol
Silver26- No you’re not because I totally thought the same thing at first too!
She looks great and I actually like her body type, its not the standard hollywood thing, but her weight is evenly distributed and she rocks this very weird bathing suit.
I like her figure here.it suits her built and it doens’t look like she’s straving herself or counting the calories to attain it …she actually looks really good from the back!!!…on a sidenote…is it me, or does it look like she is going to get hit in the head by that football in the first pic???
Hahaha! That’s the first thing I thought when I looked at it! She even looks like she’s just now noticing it and she’s freaked out.
not my ideal body type, she doesnt look good or bad…i just prefer skinny girls i guess.
she seems genuinely happy though and will always have one of the most beautiful faces to me
It looks as if she pees in the last pic LOL.
I don’t like Hilary Duff, but I think she looks amazing in the last picture. Like if I saw a girl like that, I’d be like, “I want to look like that!” She has a butt, no flabiness, just right.
I don’t know why people always give her such a hard time. I think she has an amazing body despite it being so different from my usual tastes and from my own body.
I think she has the kind of body that is usually not that attractive, so people automatically dismiss it, without acknowledging just how well it suits her. To me, she is the perfect example of, “all shapes/bodies can be beautiful.”
Casey!!! I remember you gave me some advice some weeks back.In the previous post you recommended torso twists and bellydancing for a a most defined waistline curve. Do you think yoga or pilates could help as well? I’ve been exercising with a trainer and she does a lot of bicycle crunches, planks, sits up and a couple of other floor ab exercises with me; some involving the medicine ball. Now I’m scared my waist is going to get bigger…it’s already quite large (28.5 inches) and I would like for it to go down 2-3 inches. I’d rather be slightly soft and have a smaller waist measurement than have flat stomach and larger measurement…I never seem to get rid of that slight pudge in the lower belly either way.
Anywho you always have awesome advice!!! are there specific sites you visit for nutrition and exercise? Also you were right! I wasn’t getting the amount of protein I thought I was; turns out on days I work out I need 20 more grams than usual…which I wasn’t getting…I’m trying to get better now!
So agree Casey, her body is the total opposite to mine (apart from the height) and I think she looks fantastic and fit.
I think Hilary has one of the most beautiful faces in Hollywood. Her body looks average and healthy – not too skinny and not overweight either. She seems to be a healthy size and she has an amazing butt!
watch out for the ball!!!
I think she looks fantastic. I also happen to love the swimsuit, it’s pretty sexy without showing everything, and it happens to compliment her figure exceedingly well, unlike many of the bathing suit selections we see on this site.
She seems like such a nice girl, and that really shines through, she looks great all the time. It’s funny to compare Hilary and Lindsay Lohan, they were both teen rivals on the same track, and now they both couldn’t have ended up more different. Sure, Hilary might not be the typical Hollywood actress skinny, but she’s seems happy and looks healthy. And I really like the swimsuit!
I think she looks good actually not the best i have seen her look but i have nothing bad to say and i wouldnt say shes chubby just average chubby is slightly over weight and shes average weight
meh..ive never seen her body as anything special…anyother shape would be odd hebut I’ve always loved her face it’s sooo gorgeous even with her “a horse is a horse of course of course” teeth
So cute! I usually hate bathing suits. I hate them on me and they are generally unflattering i think, but Hilary looks HOT in this suit!!! I can’t put my finger on it, but something about it just looks awesome! Love Hilary and great figure…Keep it up!
i think shes very adorable so what if shes not super skinny anymore? and that bikini does NOTHING for her waist just not flattering!!!
I was definitely not expecting that tank ninja style when she turned around!
if i worked more on my legs, i feel like i could look as amazing as her….keyword: could. lol
‘Healthy’. We love this word, don’t we? We’ve been using so much lately, that I wonder if it even means the same thing it meant 5 to 10 years ago. Funny.
I was under the assumption that you can’t tell if someone is healthy based just on a picture unless they were either extreme end of the weight spectrum
It seems like “heathy” is used when someone isn t as skinny as they were (when they were unhealthy skinny) and now they have a healthy weight but apparently don t look as good as before…or is that just my impression?
I wasn’t expecting the back of that suit
I like her body. It isn’t anything spectacular but it works for her build. I don’t think she would look right much smaller or bigger
I think she looks great, such a beautiful girl!
If i just hit the gym instead of starving at home, i could have the exact same body as hers. I’m the same size only taller and not so toned
Hilary has a beautiful face and a beautiful body; no cellulite, no poking bones, no rolls or flabs, just very smooth yet full and curvy.
I like
couldn’t agree more! <3
Please don’t comment on topics you are obviously very wrong and uninformed on. It’s astonishing how many people don’t know the difference between body types. As for Hilary Duff, she is the exact opposite of curvy, as she is a rectangle body type which is- scientifically and factually speaking- a masculine body type where the body develops in a masculine pattern. Rectangle shaped women, you can’t argue with facts: just accept and admit that you have a body type that is typically a man’s body type. Your rectangle body types are not curvy and are not feminine.
*I’m a black female who is 28 years old and still a virgin. Say what you will, but my body type is still one of the most curvy and feminine body types; that’s a fact.
Has anyone told you you’re really weird? How many times do people have to tell you nobody gives a crap that you’re a virgin? You don’t see anybody else posting about their number of sexual partners here. It’s really creepy, just stop.
I don’t care whether or not no body gives a crap that I am a virgin, but I have the right to state facts and my stating that I’m a virgin isn’t derogatory in any way. Also, considering that very few people remain a virgin for this long (I’m 28 years old), I definitely should be proud and I have the right to mention such an admirable, rare quality whenever I so choose.
Amen sister, at 28 and still a virgin you are incredibly strong willed. Your husband is in for some party night eh
Whoa! Why are you so angry? Yes, you have a right to state whether or not you’re a virgin…but it is a little strange and a little off-topic as we’re not discussing sexual history. However, I am glad that you are proud of keeping your virginity, and kudos to you, but I do also want to add that there is nothing wrong or non-admirable about those who choose to not stay a virgin as an adult. It’s about time that we opened up to the fact that sex is a perfectly normal and natural action…something people shouldn’t be embarrassed about.
But either way, you just sound really angry with what appears to me very little provocation. I just wonder why. Your opinion is as important as anyone else’s here….nobody is trying to attack you or demean you here, so I don’t think you need to be so defensive.
Yes you are so special. I’m 28 too and I’ve had sex with over 20 men. I am very proud of it as not many women can get so many hot guys to sleep with them. It must be because I have the most desirable body imaginable. Something, something about Hilary Duff….who cares let’s talk more about my sex life!!
Maybe we should all start commenting like that, would that annoy you? Because that is how you sound to the rest of us.
I’m thinking shes incredibly proud of the fact that her body is the most feminine perfect type imagineable and that she manages to say NO even though every man on earth wants to f her silly!
btw, I stayed up a virgin up til my early 30s. I am not ugly. Many many ppl have told me im beautiful! I even worked as a stripper for 2 years. Imagine that , a virgin stripper! But wait, I don’t go around bragging about it, or telling everyone ‘IM SO HOT YET I DIDNT SLEEP WITH ANYONE AND I SHOWED MY TITS’.
SRSLY
w t f
If you have had those many sex partners, then you are promiscuous and that is a lifestyle choice you have made; that’s your prerogative. However, I’m a black female who is 28 years old and I have personally chosen to remain a virgin and to respect my body, which is the opposite of you in regards to that behavioral pattern.
Moreover, looks have nothing to do with how promiscuous a person is or isn’t, as promiscuous people can be from the lowest end of the looks spectrum to the highest end of the looks spectrum and promiscuous women can possess body types that are the least feminine, rectangle-shaped, and/or the least desirable to those who possess the most feminine/curvy/great/as good as humanly possible and/or most desirable body types; basically, a person’s looks, body/body type, or any other things of that nature, doesn’t determine how promiscuous the person may or may not be, but it’s determined by many factors beyond that (most of the determining factors have to do with a person’s personality, personal beliefs, and things that are not of a physical or looks based nature).
There are very few who are still a virgin at 28 years old like I, but there are many who are promiscuous at 28 years old like you.
*This is in response to your comment below because, for some reason, I couldn’t respond directly to your comment below.
@ padme- Yes, CFAV is really starting to creep me out too…I agree, please just stop.
Another note: you sound like one of those groupies who attempt to brag about celebrities who they have had sex with. I laugh at those types of women because they have nothing good to show for it except for the fact that someone screwed them/used them for sex and went on to the next “hot” one when they got tried of them. Same with your claim of having sexed a lot of “hot” guys; they got their nut off and you just got screwed.
Again, I’m proud to be a virgin and I don’t want to be used as a screw as it seems you have been by “hot” guys (unless you just made that statement in jest or as an example).
Comments from a virgin- I think sure Padme’s comment was made ‘in jest- to me, it’s pretty obvious she was being sarcastic. Just like it should be pretty obvious to you that banging on about your virginity is downright annoying and I’m still confused as to why you feel the need to do so, even after people tell you it’s weird, irritating and unnecessary.
“You sound like one of those groupies who attempt to brag about celebrities who they have had sex with. I laugh at those types of women because they have nothing good to show for it except for the fact that someone…used them for sex…” You sound very conceited. I mean, how exactly do you think you differ from those women? Excluding the fact that you’ve slept with a lot less people, you actually have quite a lot in common.
If you think about it, they’re bragging about sleeping with celebrities… and you’re bragging about not ever having slept with anyone and having a supernatural body, which you seem to think puts you above everyone else (see the similarities?) I really think you need to get off your high horse because like the women you’re looking down on, it seems to me that you “have nothing good to show except from the fact that you’ve never had anyone…take your virginity.” (Trying to be polite here.)
If you really want to put yourself ‘above’ everyone else, perhaps you should keep the facts about your sex life to yourself and bask in the finery of your virginity in a more dignified fashion. Just a thought.
Hey guess what? I like having sex. It’s fun. Nobody is using me when it’s consensual. You have some weird notions about sex. It’s fine if you want to be a virgin,but that doesn’t make you better than anyone else. Most importantly, it has nothing to do with celebrity weight gossip so stop talking about it here.
well, she’s either a supreme idiot or troll
I really can’t say
Her entire persona is just so…out there
she looks more plump than last year, but she has everything in place. All the muscles right place!, I love this girl!
I love her face but i don`t like her body but she looks healty.
Love the swimsuit.
SHE looks great, but that bathing suit looks horrible from the back. I think it would look horrible on even Rosie or Candice. Wish she’d have worn a bikini, her stomach looks like it would’ve been flat and nice. Anyway, cute pictures, she looks happy.
not a fan of her work, but she looks healthy to me …
and it’s not in our hands what body structure we have!!!
she looks really good! im glad she works with her figure instead of trying to make it so cookie cutter like everyone else. she is a really good role model and looks happy and healthy.
I don’t mind that she’s not skinny, I think this weight is perfect for her. I don’t like her square torso and shoulders though, but it’s not like she can do anything about them!
That bathing suit is just awful!
Besides that, I no longer doubt that she has implants…
She looks good really fit, toned and strong
I love the swimsuit
she looks really good, prefer this to the skinny jeans she seems to live in
I think this might be her swimsuit
http://shop.mikohswimwear.com/products/santortini-one-piece
ahhh! wish i could afford, i think the suit is lovely.
maybe she felt bloated that day or something and wanted to wear a one-piece. she looks comfortable & happy ! cute girl
There isn’t much anyone can do to change natural shape. I don’t find the box shape all that attractive, but the girl is rich, her face is gorgeous, and she doesn’t seem to have any (or much) cellulite. Can’t have everything!
I can never not like Hilary Duff. I’ve watched this girl throughout my entire life & I always thought she had the most gorgeous face in the world. No joke. Her face is amazing!
& now that we’re discussing her body. Bravo Hilary! She gained a lot of weight for a while, then she lost too much weight, then she gained it back. & now she’s at an equilibrium, sometimes I find her a biiiiiit too box-like, but I don’t mind it, I’m VERY box-like. Another thing, her thighs are toned now, she doesn’t have a tummy any more (hard shit to get rid of -bytheway), and she looks very healthy & happy & good.
I think she looks great ++ no cellulite? O.O Lucky girl, that is.
People on this site are waaay too sensitive. I mean common, the minute someone says something along the lines “I don’t like this or that” here comes the cat fight. I think it’s petty. If you are pear shaped, are you going to be all defensive when someone says that JLo has wide hips?
Back to Hilary: she has the most lovely face, perfect hair and beautiful smile, but IMHO her shape is quite unfortunate.
boy, all of hillary’s out around town pics and casual ones, she looks good no matter what. another great example, although that’s an odd suit.
She looks a lot better, toned! I guess being on Gossip Girl made her go to the gym!
i think her body looks great here. Last post when she was wearing a bikini it emphasized her trouble spots. But a one-piece suit makes her muscular legs stand out and it slims her upper body.
Unfortch
Okay What I don’t understand why celebritys let themselves wear stuff like that that don’t fit thare body they have money I don’t. And I know What works for me and more. Importly What doesn’t
She looks average/okay. I just prefer bodies with more of a whr like candice. I realize we can’t control this. But its just my preference
.
She is very average; I definitely wouldn’t want her body.
I think she’s really cute…her body is pretty normal, the sort you’d see most places, she’s young and fairly fit, but I think her face is just so adorable…plus she seems like if you met her in real life she’d be nice and not all stuck up
I think she looks normal! That is all
She’s a cute girl with a cute bod.
she looks good! Nothing more, nothing less.
Kudos to you America. what other country has ever been able to justify saying whatever you want whenever you want with no regard for anyones feelings and justify it with ‘Freedom of speech’
She looks healthy. I really dislike that swimsuit, looks like it was attacked by a cat at the back…
i like her body, she looks healthy and happy.good for her
She’s stocky, but she doesn’t look bad. Honestly, if I had her boatloads of money yourself and managed to snag myself an even RICHER man, I would care LESS about how I looked. I can always buy myself some pretty
Does anyone know what brand of suit this is? I need this … thanks! lol
Repost from Pooja.
