Red Carpet Insight: Lets talk number 9

Hello, Lady Gaga: Unique or Weird?

Talk about Bad Romance.. Does her outfits seems weird or would you call them unique? But hey, she sells millions and is famous for her really catchy, upbeat pop songs of this generation. Who really cares about how she dress right? Millions of people would still adore her nevertheless. Well, it could be she wants to stand out in the whole pool of really famous people like Britney Spears, Pink, Taylor Swift in the music industry. Personally for me, if its not for her unique and weird style, I would not even notice her. It seems that being weird in her fashion sense is her trademark besides identifying through her hot-listed songs. Well, I really would admire her courage to be different from other people in terms of dressing up. Seriously, I bet no one would even wear a dress full of FROGS especially when having an interview on TV! Thumbs up to her for daring to be the most unique!

What Clothes Flatter Your Body Shape?

Ever wonder what is your best body type or what type of body shape are you? Well... Your body type is the best body type! We are all different and unique in our own way and learning how to dress for your body type and embracing your body shape is the first step in looking and feeling GREAT!

First off, to know what type of body shape are you, you can use the body shape calculator (preferably for girls) or if you don’t have a tape measure handy, click on Body Shapes Page to read about the different body types to see which one most closely matches you best.

However in this post, I'll be explaining on the most common type of body type which are the Straight type, the Pear type, the Hourglass type and lastly the Oval type.

If you are the Straight body type.
Your hips and bust are balanced and your waist is not very defined. You probably have a bottom that is more flat than round. You tend to gain weight in your torso first and then your upper thighs and arms. Your lower legs are always shapely and one of your best assets.

How to Dress a Straight Body Shape.

The key to dressing a Straight body type is to proportionally dress the top and bottom of your body while enhancing your waist. If you are comfortable doing so, you can wear form fitting clothing (such as a tube-type dress) and create a waist by adding a wide, dark belt. However, to create a more curvaceous effect add volume (or the illusion of volume) proportionally to your upper and lower body by mixing and matching suggested separates.

Dresses with ruching or draping across the bust with a wide fitted waist and full skirt to help create the illusion of an hourglass figure.


If you are a pear body type.

As a Pear Body type (sometimes called triangle), you hips are larger than your bust and you have a nicely defined waist. You have an elegant neck and proportionately slim arms and shoulders. You first gain weight in your bottom and legs flowed by you tummy and upper body. Your waist is your best asset so don’t be afraid to show it off.

Look for dresses with full sleeves (flutter, princess, or extended caps) along with a wide necklines, fitted waist and an A-line skirt to help create an hourglass effect.


If you are a hourglass body type.



Lucky you! You have the Hourglass body type that most women strive for. Your bust and hips are well balanced and you have a beautifully defined waist. Your have gently rounded shoulders that align nicely with your hips. Your waist is obvious and gracefully curves out to your hips. You most likely have a rounded bottom and beautiful side as well as front profile. Your upper body is proportionate in length to your legs which are shapely. From top to bottom, you are a picture of harmony and balance.


Fitted dresses that are sleeveless, strapless or with simple, form fitting sleeves create a sexy hourglass look especially when paired with a wide belt that accentuates your waist.



If you are an oval body type.

As an Oval body type, you have a large bust, narrow hips, and a full midsection. You have a tendency to gain weight in your stomach, back and upper body. Your waist is undefined and the widest part of your frame. You also have a full, shorter neck and full face. Your buttocks are somewhat flat and your legs are slender. Your shapely legs are your best asset.


Belted coat style dresses help create the illusion of a hourglass figure. Vertical buttons elongate your body and draw the eye inward.

Well, hope this post helps in finding your right body type and shopping for the perfect clothing!

Red Carpet Insight: Lets Talk Number 10

One of the purpose of my blog is to talk about the latest red carpet celebrity gossips. Thus, hopefully by the end of december, I could post all my top 10 favourite best-styled hollywood celebrities. On today's post, I will be counting down from 10 and sitting on the 10th spot list is none other than the sexy, Scarlett Johansson.

Scarlett Johansson, who just turned 25 few days ago, is the face of Dolce and Gabbana's new make-up range which was recently launched at Milan Fashion Week and was charmed to be styled as Marilyn Monroe for the advertising campaign. Despite enjoying the chance to dress up, Scarlett admits her day-to-day style is far removed from the red carpet glamour most people associate with her. She absolutely love the androgynous look. She loves pants suits and the three-piece, jacket and pants with waistcoat. She also wears alot of Rag and Bone and look on style.com for fashion inspirations. She pulls vintage pieces and shop for herself.

As mentioned, Scarlett does not like the glamour glitz of the red carpet. She is more towards the jeans/pants rather than flattering dresses and skirts. Nevertheless, be it she's on the red carpet or not, her style is still effortlessly sexy.

Her Best-Styled Red Carpet look
This dress is absolutely looks stunning on her. I like the combination of pink and blue hues of the dress. It captures the elegance, flirty and feminine look of Scarlett.














Her Best-Styled Favourite look
She could definitely pull off this look effortlessly. This captures the sophistication with a touch of simple-ness in Scarlett. In addition, this style looks modest and can post as a trend towards teenagers today.













Her Best-Styled Simple look
A normal t-shirt matched with a pair of jeans for that everday look. It certainly captures how simple and effortlessly dressed Scarlett is. Even so, she still look gorgoeus in that normal and easy style. With the right matching colours and the right type of t-shirt and jeans that fit the type of your body, there is no way you could not look as great as Scarlett is in her most simple look.













That is the end of this post. Do catch my other posts of my Red Carpet Insight soon . Credits to style.com and photobucket.com
