Hardly anyone would dare call today's birthday girl Christina Hendricks fat. The British woman captivated the public not so much with her acting talent (few people will remember the last film with her participation), but with her stunning forms. The actress is not at all embarrassed by her non-standard figure: Hendrix emphasizes her chic curves with the right clothes, which makes her look like a real sex bomb. A couple of years ago, Christina was chosen as “Most sexy woman America,” removing Megan Fox herself from the pedestal. Hendrix is ​​so good in her non-model parameters that the public does not believe that the star, having such feminine forms, did not resort to plastic surgery. In response to questions, she becomes furious: “I refuse to live in a world where a woman by default cannot be beautiful and curvy from birth!”

Congratulating the actress on her 42nd birthday, we remembered other famous beautiful girls with curvy shapes.

The 23-year-old is perhaps the only plus-size model to grace the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, where, as we know, only iconic beauties of the era manage to get on. The year before last, the blonde was recognized as the sexiest woman in the world, and in terms of popularity, the curvy girl has already eclipsed Cara Delevingne. Thanks to contracts with Bobbi Brown and Sam Edelman, Upton is one of the five richest models in the world, ahead of even Miranda Kerr. The girl achieved such success thanks to her curvaceous figure: the extra centimeters at the waist did not prevent her from becoming either the face of a swimsuit brand or one of the “angels” at the Victoria's Secret show. Now the bright top model is trying her hand at cinema with some success.

The most talked about heroine of the world chronicle has built a career on television on her “cool” forms. Shocking socialite influenced a radical change in the canons of beauty of our time. You can be skeptical about her, but it is impossible to ignore the fact that Kim Kardashian is the most talked about person of the last two years and the most popular star of social networks (Instagram audience - 31.2 million). She is called a star of a new generation - from a reality heroine to a girl from the covers of Vogue and ELLE. And she manages to successfully monetize her fantastic popularity.

Another beauty who broke the stereotypes of show business is the singer. Thanks to her undeniable talent and striking appearance, the British woman has achieved incredible popularity throughout the world. By the age of 27, Adele has an incredible number of awards in her treasury: Golden Globe, dozens of Grammys, Order of British Empire" and even " " for the song "Skyfall", which became the soundtrack to the Bond film. Adele's figure has always been different from Hollywood and European standards, but this only added to the admiration of her fans. Stylists believe that success lies in the right clothes: Adele’s figure is proportional, you just need to skillfully place accents. The singer herself admits that she never dreamed of being skinny; moreover, she is proud that she has the same figure as most women.

One of the most gifted actresses of our time, outwardly, is also far from Hollywood ideas about female beauty, but was never shy about it. Soft feminine forms did not prevent the British woman from earning recognition on both sides of the Atlantic, receiving dozens of leading roles, earning an Oscar and being included in the list of the most beautiful people according to People. Not to mention Richard Branson's handsome nephew, Ned Rocknroll, who was charmed by Winslet and became her third husband. Kate considers herself a “woman with a normal figure” and throws a scandal if her photo on the cover of a magazine is “slimmed” in Photoshop. “Personally, I’m not going to lose weight,” says the British woman. “I have more important things to do.”

“The TV screen always makes you 5-6 kilograms fatter, you need to lose overweight“- television producers refused to girls of non-model appearance. Over time, the rules have changed: the canons of modern beauty are increasingly shifting towards girls with curvy figures. Anfisa Chekhova achieved success on television as the host of the erotic program “Sex with Anfisa Chekhova”, without having the notorious 90-60-90 parameters. Viewers instantly fell in love with the beauty on the screen, because by her example she proved that sexuality is not synonymous with model thinness. “Why mock yourself? Find the positives in the state you are in,” this is Anfisa Chekhova’s recipe for beauty. The crazy ratings of the midnight show and the admiration of the country's male population confirm that it works.

Being thin is becoming less and less popular. The current trend is supported by bloggers with non-standard figures. Increasingly, fashion designers are being inspired to create collections. The tendency to express individuality allows women to enjoy life, be in harmony with themselves and not chase a photoshopped ideal.

Curvy women

One of these wonderful, inspiring and organic personalities is the American model Katie Sturino - a resourceful impersonator, a charming and brave chubby woman, and also a businesswoman!

In 2015 she started her own fashion blog on Instagram when she realized there was nowhere for plus-size women to get style inspiration. “It suddenly dawned on me that there are many plump young women, but there are few examples of how to dress beautifully and fashionably.”, - recalls Katie.

The proud owner of a size 54, Sturino learned to accept and love her body, which helped her gain self-confidence and happiness. In her blog, she clearly demonstrates that the life of a girl with appetizing shapes does not have to be sad, boring and hopeless.

The girl dresses according to the latest fashion trends and lives life to the fullest. Recently she became seriously interested in copying screen and show business stars. Katie deliberately chose thin women as her role models. By making fun of the fashion world in this way, she proved that fashionable and stylish things can fit perfectly on a plus-size lady.

The idea was accepted by the public with a bang. Without much effort, Katie has amassed nearly 150,000 loyal followers. And this figure is growing. The beauty approaches her creativity so responsibly that she even selects partners for photos. Accessories, poses and facial expressions are as identical as possible to the prototypes.

Katie posted photo collages with Hailey Baldwin, Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence and Amal Clooney. The hit of her parodies were the famous newlyweds - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. “Megan is a natural choice to follow. The world watches her every appearance! She has a simple and clear style that is pleasant to interpret for women of any size.", - Sturino commented on the pictures.

Katie stated in one of her posts: “It’s not about who wears the best outfit. The point is that anyone can wear anything! Start with self-confidence!”

“People should accept their body as it is, and not depend on stereotypes and exhaust themselves with diets to please others.”, says Katie. However, she notes that society is not yet ready for such changes and there is a lot of work to be done. Unfortunately, they are even often considered unattractive.

A healthy attitude towards her own body helped the girl not pay attention to online bullying on the Internet. They called her “fat” and “whale”, bombarded her with phrases “Cover up!”, “Lose weight!”, “It’s impossible to look at this!” Katie challenged her detractors by posting a photo of herself proudly posing in a bikini.

Sturino seeks to debunk the conventional wisdom that clothing size has a direct bearing on physical health. Katie plans to continue to inspire women to talk and think well about their appearance and value yourself the way nature created them.

If your parameters are far from model standards, then you have probably often been faced with the question: how to choose clothes wisely in order to look attractive and stylish. Therefore, the basic rules for creating a “non-standard” wardrobe are undoubtedly already familiar and learned. True, it must be said that all these so-called “rules” are very relative: any figure, both plump and thin, has its own characteristics. And even among figures that are not distinguished by their slenderness, one can note different types of structure. Accordingly, the rules for choosing clothes will be purely individual. So don't blindly follow everyone fashion tips. Use only those that will help you at least partially hide your flaws and fully emphasize your advantages.
The tips below will not work for everyone. But perhaps they will help someone decide which of today’s fashion trends can be advantageous for girls with curvy figures.

Maxi dresses and skirts

Floor-length dresses and skirts are still at the peak of popularity. And if you still don’t have things of this style in your wardrobe, then you should think about purchasing them. A long dress or skirt slims the figure, visually stretches and lengthens the silhouette.

However, when choosing a maxi, there are some points to consider. Firstly, avoid finely pleated fabrics - they plump even the slenderest figure.

Secondly, refrain from dresses with frills and ruffles, which can also optically increase your volume.

Catchy, rich colors
The trend today is color blocking - a combination of several catchy colors in one ensemble.

But this does not mean that you should completely abandon bright, saturated colors and dress in gray, dull tones. Good decision An image decorated in one bright color can become an option, since plain outfits visually lengthen the figure. Great option There will be a bright dress of the appropriate style and length. By the way, for full figures, the most advantageous length is knee length.

Flared skirt
If you have a thin waist and wide hips, then a flared or pencil skirt with a peplum at the waist would be ideal for you. Don’t be afraid to choose weightless, flowing materials for such a skirt, for example, chiffon. They will give your appearance airiness and lightness, and will also visually reduce the volume of your hips and make your figure more proportional. You can pair your skirt with a beautiful strap that will highlight your slender waist and complete your look.

Prints
The most popular color of the season is the floral print. But plump girls should avoid blouses and tops of this color. But the dress with floral print, perfectly tailored to your figure, will greatly refresh and decorate your appearance. Again, the length of the dress can be floor or knee length and suit your style. You should not choose colors that are too small; it is much better if they are medium or large-sized drawings. Colors with vertical and diagonal stripes will also make you slim.

Neckline
Perhaps to some, such an insignificant detail as the neckline will seem trivial, but it’s the little things that make up the image. And even something as seemingly inconspicuous as the shape of a collar can make you look slimmer. Blouses and dresses with a V-neck and a wraparound chest optically lengthen the neck and elongate the contours of the entire figure. In addition, they attract attention to beautiful breasts.

In order not to weigh down your figure, jewelry and it is better to purchase jewelry of medium size. A thin chain will make your neck graceful, and long beads will visually lengthen it. Long dangling earrings will also lengthen your neck. Hoop earrings are also a great option, just make sure they are not too big or chunky. Wide bracelets visually widen your wrists, but several thin bracelets that match each other in style will greatly decorate your hands. You should not buy rings with huge stones; medium-sized matte stones are more suitable for full fingers. Bags for curvy girls should not be prohibitively large and voluminous. An abundance of patch pockets and accessories and a combination of several prints in one item are contraindicated. A good option is a maxi clutch.

Normal volumes have finally come into fashion. You can stop exhausting yourself with diets and remorse. Large, round hips are especially popular today. They can be inherited, pumped up in the gym, or increased in a plastic surgery clinic. But if you want to get fashionable volumes immediately, lingerie stores and even ordinary clothing markets are at your service, where they are already selling “Brazilian butt” panties with false pads on the buttocks.

Nicole "Coco" Austin

American model and actress, wife of rapper Tracy Marrow, declared herself " best booty world." The tabloids assure: there is evidence that Nicole has gone through several operations.

Be that as it may, "Coco" is in vain boasting, she is not at all "the best butt"…

Nicki Minaj

...after all, the best is singer Nicki Minaj, the idol of millions. The richest rap singer is allegedly not proud of her curvaceous figure, inherited from her African-American parents.

Today, attitudes towards the female body are contradictory, as is female logic.
