Curvy Beauty with “Cello” Body Type: Natasha Henstridge
October 27, 2009 in Body Type and Clothes, Hot Models by Versus
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?
Check out more pictures from other angles after the jump!
she looks awesome
She looks great!! I’m a bit jealous she looks better then most women in their 20’s.
she working it!! Go On Girl!!
the end.
Meow!
I think she looks beautiful, a very sexy, curvy women. I’ll have to google her to see what she has been on.
I agree with everyone here – she looks gorge.
(love your detailed description and tips, Versus! Any chance you could do pear or skittle next?)
OK, I’ll keep that in mind, I just have to find the right pics
What is a skittle?
A skittle is a body type that resembles the pear, but it has slightly smaller hips, no saddle-bags and a smaller booty. However, it has thick thighs and a small upper top, just like pear.
She used to be really thin when she came out in “Species”, then again that was more than 10 years ago. Regardless, she has a great curvy body, with all of her meat going to all of the right places. Also, judging from some beach candid pics of her that came out in August, her body looks just as great in a bikini!
Any guesses on her height/weight/dress size?
She is 5′10” / 178 cm.
I usually don’t like this body type (when the thighs are really close together and touching…not because they are big but because the thighs just turn in like that). But I don’t know, this woman is changing my mind. She looks really nice! She also has a pretty face!
she look great.
I love her, she is so beautiful !
wow…she looks hot…i think it helps that she is wearing the appropriate dresss for her body type.
She’s a beautiful and talented actress i remember her role in Species…I didn’t knew she was a model and that she’s that tall…just gorgeous!
i wouldn’t mind having Beth Ditto’s body with such a gorgeous face!!! BEAUTY!
Which other celebs are species? I think I finally have found my body type
Kirstie Alley is a Cello as well – you can identify her true body type when she’s in good shape:

I think that Kete Winslet has looked many times like a Cello – sometimes she looks like a vase, depending on her weight and dress – she has the bone structure to be a cello though:

She was on that TV show ‘Eli Stone’. I really liked that show.
this is exactly my shape! I’m soo happy to see this pic as i’m currently on a weight loss journey and its nice to see someone with my shape who looks fantastic!
she’s my new inspiration!
Good luck
She looks nice, but I’m not a fan of this kind of body.
And, is she pregnant? She has quite a belly, esp in the last picture.
she used to be way thinner… what happened?
i think she looks great but i’m shocked too to see her curvy because she use to play in that all girl show called “she spies” and she was very skinny and fit. but i guess thats what having 2 kids will do to your body. i like her curvy though.
This is my body!! Yay! Also, are there any more cello examples aside from older ladies who are out of shape (kirstie, oprah)? and Kate Winslet (who i LOVE and is gorgeous) but not always a cello. Am I getting greedy? Sorry! Thanks for including Natasha, she looks amazing at any size!
