Skinny VS Curvy

Celebrities on the Scale

  • Anne Hathaway in a Little Black Dress

    OK, I am split in two:

    On one hand, love the look. The unexpected bob hairstyle, the classy little black dress with a twist (as in the puffy sleeves), the sleek appearance, the great legs, the shiny hair & shiny dress combo.

    On the other hand, I dislike the look. The disproportionate, unbalanced effect that the massive shoulders of the dress visually create on Anne’s skinny body with very narrow hips. I bet the dress would have created an optically perfect result on a pear body shape.

    How do you feel about it?

    Judging by these pictudy typeres, it appears that Michelle is a fan of neutral tones, paired with bright turquoise accessories, both when she is headed to a restaurant for lunch and to a fancy Hollywood event.

    Now while the skinny jeans would look better on Michelle if they weren’t… that skinny, the dress on the right sure makes her body look “hourglassy”, with balanced proportions, curvy hips and a small waist. I know that you will that she is carrying her weight not only on her hips, but even on her lower legs, but hey, that’s part of her charm.

    What do you say?

    This kind of silky, shiny fabrics are very unforgiving when it comes to slight lumps and bulges. In fact, these kinds of fabrics are responsible for numerous “Celebrity X is pregnant!!!” rumours which are almost always… false. Only some days ago Britney was, as tabloids were saying, “pregnant for the third time” in a silky purple dress and even skinny Paris herself was “knocked up with Benji’s baby” in a shiny green dress that reveled the fact that she had eaten that day.

    Now onto Liv: since Liv is carrying her weight in the middle area, yet manages to maintain skinny legs and arms (fact proven by some bikini pictures taken some months ago) she should say “no thanks” to this type of fabrics and to these sack-like dresses. Instead, she should choose thicker, more consistent fabrics and dresses that minimize her midsection, such as the empire waist ones.

    Jennifer Aniston’s wardrobe seems to be centered around jeans, comfortable pants and plain, basic tops. And since she’s got an athletic boy type, toned all around and fit as can be, these functional clothes fit her best (even though a bra would fit her just fine, too).

    Jennifer appears to put Comfort before Glam, unlike, let’s say, Kim Kardashian or, even more so, the queen of “Fashion requires sacrifices” Victoria Beckham, but without being as laid back as, let’s say, Jennifer Love Hewitt, who is frequently spotted in pajama-style pants.

    How do you like Jennifer’s body type and outfits?

    Jennifer Hudson in the Wrong Outfit

    I just did a post on Jennifer Hudson yesterday - even more, she was competing in the skinny versus curvy battle. Now I definitely wouldn’t have put the above picture as a representative for the curvy ones, because, you see, this is smart dressing and the above is NOT smart dressing, to say it nicely. And no, Jennifer did not gain anything in between, since the occasions are 2 days apart.

    What’s wrong with the above outfit?

    1. Shiny leggings flatter Nicole Richie - You know why? Because they make her look thicker!

    2. Six straps on the shoes, six cuts on the leg. Let’s save these shoes for Victoria Beckham, who needs to make hers look a little less twiggy.
