This Oscar-winning actress is willing to work for her great looks and even confessed to her slacking in the fitness department.
She said, “I should exercise more. Lose a couple of kilos.”

Here’s a great interview from Marie Claire Magazine featuring Mad Men’s curvy girl Christina Hendricks – she shares her love for curves and tips on how to flaunt it!
As is often the case with celebrities, Christina Hendricks looks a lot smaller in person than she does on TV. Sans the bouffant hairdo, long-line-waist bra, girdle, stockings, and slip she dons as the smoldering Joan Holloway on Mad Men, it’s natural that she’d shrink a little. And yet, even off-duty, Hendricks is very much a womanly woman. “I can’t just throw on a backless dress or flimsy top with spaghetti straps,” the 34-year-old declares. “I need a bra!” As for that fiery red hair? “I’ve been dyeing it since I was about 10″ — a result of an obsession with the Canadian TV series based on the Anne of Green Gables books. Here, she shares her tips for dressing a Hollywood figure that’s more Monroe than Moss.
MC: Are you cool with people making such a fuss about your figure?
CH: In the beginning, it was odd to have so much attention brought to my body type. I thought, “Uh-oh, brace yourself.” But everyone has been so positive. During the first season, a woman came up to me at dinner and said, “I just want to thank you — watching you has made me proud of my body.” I thought, What an amazing thing for someone to say! To make anyone feel good about themselves makes me feel good.
MC: How has playing Joan Holloway affected your sense of style?
CH: I’m definitely learning from Joan. My personal style is very romantic. I’m drawn to things that have a feminine flair, whether it’s a ruffle or an embellishment. Joan is much more streamlined, so I’m learning how that works on my figure. I’m a fan of the pencil skirt now. I used to think they were so conservative, but then I realized if you wear one that’s tight enough, it’s really sexy.
MC: What is your mantra for dressing?
CH: Highlight the things you like. I like my small waist, so whenever I wear a dress or blouse, I always make sure you can see my waistline. It gives me more of an hourglass shape.
MC: What would you say to women who want to minimize their curves?
CH: Instead of trying to downplay your curves, find a designer or style that glorifies them. There are designers who simply don’t design for people with shape and there are those — like L’Wren Scott or Roland Mouret — who do exactly that. Once you find what looks best on you, stick with it.

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?

September 29, 2009 in Hot Models, Kelly Brook by Versus
You might wonder: What are these pictures for?
Possible answer: For a men’s magazine, hence the cleavagey, tight, rubber outfits?
Correction: No. They are in fact for a Charity Action, where, among others, Cheryl Cole is selling her fuchsia Rupert Sanderson pumps and Leona Lewis is offering her Stella McCartney strappy sandals with the hope of raising $1 million to fund research into women’s reproductive and gynae health issues. Hmm… interesting, I mean it’s a good cause, but most pictures that advertise the initiative (not just Kelly’s) are kinda sexy / raunchy / topless.
Anyway, Kelly’s figure looks impossibly hourglassy yet again.
There’s more after the jump! Check out what Kelly has to say about this event!
