With hardly any other garment, you can put the figure as perfectly in scene as with a dress. Hide curvy hips, emphasize the feminine silhouette or add a few inches of body size - the right cut and a matching color make it possible. How to reveal the most important styling rules.
See the dos and don'ts of the stars in the gallery (20 images).
Those who want to put their female hips in the right light, like Jennifer Lopez or Salma Hayek, should wear dresses with a flared skirt and at best emphasize the upper body. An exciting neckline or emphasized waist section are ideal for this purpose.
Narrow women like Jennifer Garner or January Jones like to take on figure-hugging or tailored dresses. Applications or pockets in the hip area also conjure up feminine curves.
Conceal curves
For curvy women like "Glee" star Amber Riley or Christina Hendricks ("Mad Men"): Instead of dresses with a large pattern, they should rather wear models of monochrome, flowing fabrics. In addition, one can direct the view with striking details on other parts of the body such as the cleavage.
Sandra Bullock is one of the tallest in Hollywood with her height of 1.73 meters. Just like "Gilmore Girls" star Alexis Bledel, however, she can easily charm away from her height. The easiest way is with calf-length dresses and large patterns. In addition, tall women should better emphasize their hips instead of the waist. The body appears optically a little shorter.
Small, but oh!
Reese Witherspoon chicks on a height of only 1.56 meters like a few inches, just like the one inch taller Christina Aguilera. This works best with short to knee-length dresses. In combination with high heels, every little girl gets big.
Important in every styling is always to emphasize the benefits and hide problem areas skillfully. With the right dress, every woman can get the most out of her figure.
