Skinny VS Curvy

What do these Hollywood girls have in common? Well, besides an ex, they both decided to wear jeans and black tops and took their boyfriends (or not, in Mandy’s case) out for a walk. Now Mandy looks like she’s been losing some weight and well, Nicole is always losing weight, so there, another thing they’ve got in common.

You decide! Who looks better? Who looks more appealing in jeans and flat shoes? The short and skinny Nicole or the taller and curvier Mandy? Skinny versus curvy battle time!

We all know what “skinny” means. As long as bones are showing here and there, we can call ourselves skinny. But what does “curvy” mean? Long story short, curvy means voluptuous, with pleasant curves in the right places – to be more specific and less delicate: boobs and butt. Now there are definitely not as many perfectly curvy women in Hollywood as there are perfectly skinny ones – so let’s be a little indulgent and extend the meanings of our “curvy” term.

I know that we don’t all see Rachael Ray curvy and facts are that she is not the standard description of the word, but she sure is opposite to Teri Hatcher! Regardless if you include Rachael in the curvy or “could lose a few” category, let’s play Skinny Versus Curvy! Now it is up to you: which one of these ladies in sleek dresses do you prefer? The tall and super skinny Teri Hatcher or the shorter and plumper Rachel Ray?

Blake Lively is no Posh (skinniness-wise) and Hilary Duff is no Beyonce (curviness-wise) but hey, one is skinnier than the other and, you guessed, one is curvier than the other – at least in the above picture – even though I’ll admit that Blake’s got something (guess what?) from the curvy side. What do these girls have in common, besides blonde locks? Well, for starters, they are the same age (20) and, you guessed again, they were in the same place last night, on the same red carpet. And on top of that, in order to help us compare them efficiently and optimally, they both decided to opt for strapless dresses.

So, there you have it: it’s skinny versus curvy battle time! Which one do you prefer? The skinnier Blake or the curvier Hilary?

Versus’s expert verdict: I’ll take Blake’s legs, Hilary’s hips, Blake’s arms, Hilary’s cleavage and Blake’s waist. To go, please!

Couldn’t come up with a more contrasting pair, don’t you agree? While Victoria Beckham has been the standard for “the ultimate skinny figure” and sometimes even for “scary skinny”, Beyonce is comfortably settled at the opposite pole, where she proudly represents the curvy figures. What do these ladies have in common? Well, they both attended the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala last night, where they wore these light-colored dresses (no, Beyonce didn’t get bored of the mermaid dresses, apparently).

So, which one looks better? Who rocks her dress more? Who is more appealing, more stylish and overall more fab? Skinny versus curvy battle time! Choose your side: pin thin Victoria Beckham or voluptuous Beyonce?

Versus’s expert verdict: Let’s see: Sexier? Beyonce wins by some (many) hip inches. More stylish? Victoria, who looks like a high fashion magazine cover.

P.S. Yes, that IS David Beckham’s ear I cropped right there.

Sarah Jessica Parker has been skinny all her career long and she is not about to disappoint the skinny lovers any time soon. Kristin Davis has always been curvier, especially in the lower half, to be more exact. In fact, her character on the super-popular Sex and the City admitted in one of the first episodes that she was too self-conscious about her thighs (at the same time, Carrie was mentioning her, umm, nose).

So, there you go: two ladies, one on the skinny side, one on the curvier side. One has some pin thin legs, the other has shapely legs and thicker thighs. One shows more bones all around, the other shows more curves. One has a leaner figure and a gaunter face and the other has a rounder face and a fuller figure. The question is: which one do you prefer? The skinny or the curvy?
