Celebrities—they're just like us!
Sure, they have personal trainers, nutritionists and dedicated entourages with the sole purpose of making said celeb look and feel their best. But underneath those toned abs and flawless skin is a body shape much like the average Joe and Jane. (Shocking, isn't it?)
So how do our red carpet style stars always look so good? Well, first, they choose pieces that flatter their body type. The always-sultry Sofía Vergara, for instance, has curves for days, while Tilda Swinton constantly stands correct and statuesque. Different as they may appear, both actresses always make an impact on the red carpet because they play to their assets.
And now you can too. Whether you're long and lean like Tilda or curvy like Sofía, there's a perfect gown for your body type. Are you smaller up top with wider hips? You pear-shaped ladies can balance out your proportions with structured tops and A-line silhouettes. Do you have broader shoulders and a slimmer bottom? You and Angelina Jolie have something in common. Do you feel like you're constantly swimming in fabric? Fellow petite lady Emma Roberts can show you how to fake a few inches.
We've handpicked celebs who can give you a crash course in dressing for the six most common body shapes: hourglass, petite, rectangle, pear, inverted triangle and full-figured. Keep in mind everyone is built differently, but whatever your attributes, these tips can help you look red carpet-ready.
Now all we need is a celebrity-worthy wardrobe. Designers, do you hear us?
