Ugly Betty’s America Ferrera was spotted at “Save The Children” Benefit, held at Esquire SoHo, in New York City and she looked curvy & shapely in a little black dress on the red carpet.
Remember America at her heaviest a few years ago? No? Well then, here are some stills from her movie “Real Women Have Curves”:
More of America in her little black dress after the jump!
Spotted: Kelly Clarkson, her favorite comfy boots, hot pink shades and a green salad
Where: At a Manhattan restaurant in NYC
When: Yesterday
P.S.: Was her hair this red before? See on the next page!
We’re committed to featuring celebs of all shapes and sizes on this site (plus I’ve had some requests to post about this girl), so here is Nikki Blonsky in a black dress at The Cinema Society’s screening of Chéri held at the Directors Guild of America Theater in New York City.
Fast FAQ: She’s from Hairspray, she’s 20 years old and she’s only 4′10” (147 cm).
She looks happy and smiley!

Or, to be fair to all visitors, Kelly is 75 kg and 160 cm. Which would imply that she has a BMI of 29.2 (overweight range 25-29.9), says an expert from Star Magazine:
“Kelly’s much heavier frame shocked fans at KIISFM’s Wango Tango concert in L.A. Fitness expert Joe Catalano says: “She looks like she weighs about 165 lbs. At 5′3″, that’s almost 35 lbs. over her ideal weight.”
Hmm… does that sound accurate to you?
Star Magazine also reports:
“I’ve always been thicker,” she’s said. “I don’t believe in dieting.” And even now, says a friend, “She’s happy where she’s at. She doesn’t think being thin should be a big priority in her life.” Plus, she wants to continue to be a good role model for her more voluptuous fans. “She gets tons of fan letters telling her to stay curvy,” the source says. “The last thing she wants to do is betray those young women who look up to her by going on a crash diet.”
But even though she’s just fine with being on the fuller side, Kelly’s starting to consider making a change. “She’s nervous about her health,” a friend reveals. She knows she needs to do something about the extra weight.”
I just realised that we haven’t talked about Queen Latifah on our little site yet – and since she’s a little more than curvy (she’s reportedly a little over 200 lbs. at 5′10”), I think she deserves a post!
So, here she is looking very purple on the red carpet last night in an empire waist dress.
How do you like the gown on Queen Latifah’s full figure?
Second bikini stop in the brand new 2009: 46 year-old Star Jones, in a two piece white bikini!
It’s pretty obvious that Star didn’t maintain her super thin post-surgery figure – and since she’s got a fuller, curvier body now, I would have chosen a more flattering, non-white, one-piece swimsuit.
Lots of pictures and lots of angles after the jump!
Oprah recently opened the old and overly discussed subject again: her weight. Here’s what she had to say:
“I’m embarrassed … I can’t believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I’m still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, ‘How did I let this happen again?’ ”
For starters, the fact that her thyroid was out-of-balance gave her “a fear of working out,” she says. “I was so frustrated I started eating whatever I wanted – and that’s never good.”
Having slimmed down to 160 in 2006, she admits, “Yes, you’re adding correctly. That means the dreaded 2-0-0…”
Choosing a gown for the Barack Obama inauguration coming up in January, however, made Winfrey realize her self-image was no longer jibed with the person standing on the scales – though the real low point occurred last April.
“I felt like a fat cow,” Winfrey writes of the occasion when she sought to skip out on a Las Vegas show taping with Cher and Tina Turner. “I wanted to disappear.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Winfrey’s weight and height rank her as obese, with a body mass index of 31.8 – putting her at “at higher risk for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol,” says the CDC.
Winfrey intends to address the issue on The Oprah Winfrey Show, which will kick off “Best Life Week” Jan. 5.
Let’s hear your thoughts!
A while back, Jordin (who is 5′11” and a US size 12, according to most sources) gave some tips to plus-size girls on how to dress for their shape. The tips are a little old, but Jordin gives some great advices, definitely worth posting. Here they are:
1. Baggy clothes can make you look bigger. You want something that hugs you in all the right places — just not too much, where it’s too tight and you’re hanging out all over!”
2. I have a tiny waist in proportion to the rest of my body, so I like to wear corsety things that hug my waist.
3. Darker types slim your legs down. A lighter wash jean makes everything look bigger.
4. V-necks give you an elongated neck. A crew neck can look like it’s choking you!
5. Dainty necklaces are nice. Chunky ones cut (your figure) up.”
We aim to present a wide range of celebrity body shapes around here – and even if Raven doesn’t perfectly fit in our curvy category, I’m pretty sure that she’s got a common body type.
Looking at these pictures of Raven, I’m immediately thinking that she’s got a typical V body shape – we can call also call it reversed triangle or cornet: wide shoulders (virtually wider than the hips), large bust, broad back – long story short, she carries more weight in her upper half.
Now a sleeveless dress that embraces the hips isn’t exactly a MUST BUY and MUST WEAR on the triangle body shape. But what would be ideal for Raven?

I thought and I thought some more and then I realized that in case I would have called Jennifer “curvy”, some of you would have jumped to say that she’s not curvy, that Scarlett is curvy and that J is just… chubby / thick. And yeah, you might be right.
So, you know what? Place Jennifer in whatever category you please and label Kelly with “skinny”, “emaciated” or “just fine” – but in the end, the point is that these two girls are as different as you can get in the celebrity world.
It might also be a battle between “underweight” and “overweight” – and yes, I’m sure you prefer something in the middle, but hey, this is the game!
The questions: Whose body is hotter? Whose body would you rather have? Who looks better?
