Who is your celebrity body shape buddy?

Celebrities , like all of us, come in all all body shapes and body sizes . This article will help you find your celebrity body shape buddy .

Although research found that 58% of women desire an hourglass figure ,because it is perceived to be sexy and womanly, you should be true to yourself. The clothes which will flatter you best will depend on your body shape. Today the choice of clothes is so varied that there’s something for everyone no matter what colouring, scale, height, proportion or body shape you are.

When it comes to looking good, it’s not your size or shape that matters, it’s the fit of your clothes and if they create the needed visual balance. Wearing the right clothes shouldn’t be about following the latest fashion trends; it should be about choosing what actually suits you and what makes you feel comfortable and confident. It is a relief that it is not only us who don’t get it always right and find it challenging to rise to the occasion when dressing for the day, night or a special night out or work. Almost every single celebrity struggles or struggled in the past when they were starting out or just simply trying to find their style, personality and settling into a body shape that they are comfortable with. Sometimes it is easier to belong to a ” body shape group”, which is led by a celebrity. It shows that we are “represented and reflected” in the fashion universe. Unfortunately most are not leading by example, because they got they also got tempted by fashion and become a fashion victim because they like what is the new in the shop, what is the latest fashion trend or simply it was a “freebee”.When identifying your celebrity body shape buddy, please keep in mind that their body shape may change into another with weight gained or lost. The images below are based firstly on the body shape they have in the pictures but also where they got it right. So, it is best to have a few body shape buddies if that happens.

So, let’s see how your celebrity body shape buddy is:

Costume Institute’s American Woman Gala at the Met

The Costume Institute’s American Woman Gala at the Met , which is one of New York’s biggest social events of the year, brought the celebrities out in all force.

So let’s see how the ladies dressed for their personal colouring, body shape and overall look.

Ladies who wore neutral colour tones in their gowns:

All thumbs up to the nudes. Every single one works their body shape and their personal colouring. When it comes to the overall look it is more of a personal opinion. The one I am not convinced of is Sarah Jessica Parker’s – I think the big bow headband is too girlish and cute for her age

Ladies who chose colour and looked great:

I love seeing women wearing colour- it shows always more individuality and personality. All of these ladies did a great job choosing their colour right for their personal colouring and their body shape. The overall look looks perfect and it is nice to see that Kristen Stewart is dressing for her age and showing a bit of an edge in her black dress.

Ladies who didn’t execute their looks to their best:

Kirsten Dunst is giving us flashbacks of the “80ies” with the dress she is wearing combined with her hairstyle and boots! All this together and this event and place is really a misfit in style.

Katy Perry: The colour is far too light for her colouring and all the frill, tulle, ruffle paired with that shiny fabric makes it not to a winning outfit.

Rosari Dawson’ s pink/ violet dress is really clashing with her skin colour. It really drains her. On a personal note that dress is as well too “sweet” and young for her. It would have been nicer to see her in a more grown up gown with personality.

Vera Faminga: The colour is not so much of the problem as much as the style of the dress. The waistband looks very unflattering and the style of the dress is too young for her. Her look reminds me of a “Wild West” movie.

Lisa Maria Falcone must have worn the least appealing outfit of the night. The colour is too light for her, the dress doesnt fit her right- it seems that is falling of her, the billowing hemline is too much drama for her age. And on a personal note her body shape is too “toned”.

Brooke Shields should be avoiding a body hugging outfit when having a bigger bust and weight on your thighs. The dress looks very taut on her.

I am in love with Alice by Temperley

I am absolutely taken by Alice, the new line created by the designer Alice Temperley. It is simply a beautiful collection and full of investment pieces for the summer. Plus the price is right! So who is Alice?

ALICE by Temperley, the sister line to Temperley London, launched for Spring Summer 2010. With three collections a year, the affordable and easy to wear line offers strong separates, casual dresses, knitwear, statement jackets and accessories.

The ALICE girl is fun, inspiring and knows what she likes. She mixes feminine with a touch of rock-and-roll for an eclectic look. The ALICE by Temperley fanbase already includes a range of London girls such as Daisy Lowe, Amber Le Bon, Tali Lennox and Leah Weller.

And this is what Alice says about her new fashion line:

Temperley London - Presentation - Fall 2010 MBFW

Why did you create the ALICE by Temperley collection?
I love the idea of opening the brand up to a younger demographic and making it available to a wider audience. It’s been in the works for a while and based on all the feedback we have received now seemed like the perfect time to launch a line that is slightly younger and more accessible, but still fashion forward with fantastic prices and quality.

2. What were your inspirations for the ALICE by Temperley collection?
The collection is inspired by the London girl, British spirit in general and an independent sense of fashion.

3. Who were your muses in designing this collection?
London girls of the moment like Amber Le Bon, Alexa Chung, Alice Dellal and Georgia Jagger. I also used my girlfriends as muses. I asked ten of my girlfriends to show me their favourite summer and holiday pieces. I based parts of the collection on their requests as I got quite a clear picture of what wardrobe staples we were all after.

4. Who is the ALICE by Temperley girl?
The ALICE girl isn’t afraid to mix things up. She’s got a bit of rock-and-roll in her by nature and has fun with her look. She’s the one who always surprises you with her unique, effortless and ultimately covetable style.

5. What ALICE by Temperley pieces are your personal favourites?
I love the Animal Shirt Dress; animal prints are always a personal favourite of mine. The Eagle Leather Jacket, a quilted biker jacket in soft grey leather, is perfect to throw on over a feminine dress. The Mini Mimi Stripe dress is a really wearable, everyday/everywhere dress great for the beach, city or countryside.
