Tricks of the stars that will help hide flaws and highlight the strengths of the figure

The “apple” figure (type of figure “o”, “circle”, “oval”, “rhombus”) is considered the most problematic. Aristocratic posture, lush breasts, slender legs, and instead of a waist - a plump tummy. It was precisely these women that the great Rubens praised in his paintings. Choosing clothes for an apple figure is extremely problematic, especially if the woman is short. However, the “circle” body type is not a death sentence. You just need to know well the features of your figure and find out which style of clothing will suit you best.

Characteristic features of the apple body type

  • The waist is absent or weakly expressed.
  • The width of the shoulders, chest and hips look approximately the same.
  • Wide back and chest.
  • The arms are thin or thick at the top.
  • Legs are thin, proportional to the body.

It is believed that the “oval” figure type is the lot of overweight women. However, a thin girl can also have an “apple” silhouette. There are two types of figure:

  • Medium size breasts.
  • The largest volume is concentrated in the upper torso.
  • Fat is actively accumulating on the abdomen.
  • Waist almost equal to hips
  • Small buttocks.

In this case, we draw attention to a beautiful bust (neckline, chest-tight blouses) and disguise a non-standard waist (basque sweaters, six-piece skirts).

  • Large bust.
  • Weakly defined waist.
  • Equal volumes of chest and hips.
  • Large, slightly protruding buttocks.
  • Fat accumulates on the sides.

The apple shape can easily be confused with the rectangle shape. However, there are characteristic signs - a rounded belly and large breasts. With this silhouette, we recommend giving preference to straight, classic models. You shouldn't over-tighten a large bust - you risk looking bulky.

Tailor's tape and mirror to help

How to determine your body type

It is important to understand from which part of the body we begin to gain and lose weight - this will help with determining our type.

Determining the range of thinness, perhaps by wrist size:

  • up to 14 cm - thin figure;
  • 14-16 cm - average build;
  • from 16 cm - prone to obesity.

To understand what type of figure you have, use a tailor's tape. Use it to measure the distance between your shoulders. At the same time, keep the tape taut, like a ruler. Looking in the mirror, determine where your hips are widest, and then measure it. Take a close look at the line of your shoulders: are they sloping or straight? To get a complete picture of your silhouette, measure your hips and waist.

It will also help to assess your proportions - a photograph of the silhouette from the back in figure-fitting clothes.

Your body type is rectangle (H-silhouette, “slender column”), if you have:

  • equal width of hips and shoulders;
  • flat buttocks;
  • the intermediate line of the shoulders is neither sloping nor straight;
  • The difference between the waist and hips is less than 22 cm.

Weight matters

In the “rectangle” category, two subtypes of shapes are conventionally distinguished. Women of model appearance (“slender column”) have a fairly slender and toned body with small hips and breasts. They are often tall (from 170 cm), and with age a small belly may appear. The second subtype is “regular or full rectangle”. Women with this constitution tend to be overweight and have small or medium height. The main feature of their figure is the presence of large breasts with fairly slender hips and legs. In “rectangles” of the usual type, as a rule, the torso becomes fatter.

Representatives of the “Full Rectangle” type

How to correct imperfections and make an apple-type figure more attractive?

A common problem for all apple-shaped people is a protruding belly. Therefore, the main task is to correct this deficiency.

  • Visually lengthen your figure. Straight long dresses (columns) will cope with this task perfectly. The same effect can be achieved by using vertical seam finishing, color spacing or asymmetry.
  • Focus on a beautiful neckline or slender legs. Looking at them, others will not pay attention to the almost complete absence of a waist.
  • Avoid fabrics with very large or very small patterns. Plain clothes for the apple body type elongate the silhouette.
  • Wear jackets and jackets wide open - this will make you appear slimmer and taller.
  • Decorative details (ruffles, draperies) should be located above the chest line and below the hips.
  • Semi-fitting and loose clothing is your style. But the baggy one will add volume.

Rectangle body type: advantages and disadvantages

The rectangle body type includes female figures in which the shoulders are approximately equal to the hips and the waist is weakly defined. Moreover, most often rectangles have beautiful slender legs.

A minor drawback of the figure is the lack of feminine curves of the body, the top is angular and sometimes even looks a little boyish. But there's nothing wrong with that! With the right clothes, you will look simply stunning.

So, our main goal is to give the figure more femininity, to “draw” beautiful curves of the body with the help of clothes.

We wanted to separate our advice a little: talk separately about slender rectangles (they are also called columns) and separately about girls with curvier figures. In most cases, the advice overlaps, but there are still differences.

What suits slim girls with a rectangle figure

1. Highlighted waist

. This can be done using a belt, print, cutouts in the belly area, draping, etc. By focusing on the waist, you visually outline the hourglass silhouette.

2. Fabrics that hold their shape on their own

Fashionable looks for girls with rectangle body types

What should rectangles avoid?

You have practically no restrictions. It is advisable to avoid tight-fitting clothes made from thin fabrics, so as not to once again emphasize the angularity of the figure. It is also not recommended to choose items made from very large knits.

Plus, make sure your waist isn't overloaded. For example, a large floral print. Top and bottom yes, waist no.

Choose your clothes wisely and be irresistible!

A properly selected wardrobe can present a woman from her best side. For most women, this statement is beyond doubt. However, not everyone has yet learned to follow the principles of this phrase. This article will talk about choosing clothes for women whose figure resembles a rectangle.

Features of the figure

A distinctive feature of a rectangle-type figure is the waist, or rather its weak expression.
It is practically absent in women with such a figure. Mathematically, this is expressed as a small difference between the volume of the hips and waist. This figure is less than 20 cm. The shoulders and hips are the same in width. The chest is wide, but the chest is often small. Basically, representatives of the fair sex with such a figure are distinguished by quite slender legs. So it turns out that the main drawback that can be found in such a figure is the unclear outline of the waist and the lack of a smooth curve from the waist to the hips. The following task is assigned to clothing - either to visually create a waist, or to divert attention from it and turn all attention to the hips and legs, and maybe the chest, if there is something to be proud of. Do not be upset right away that your figure is devoid of smooth and feminine lines. Many celebrities have this body type and still look stunning.

The right clothes will help any woman highlight all the most worthy parts of her figure in such a way as to look more attractive and seductive. All that is required for this in our case is to achieve a visual increase in volume in the chest and hips, and try to distract from an imperfect waist.

The goal can be achieved in two ways - by selecting appropriate clothing styles and the correct play of colors. The trump card is putting together an outfit in which the color scheme of its upper part contrasts with the color of the lower part. You should also learn how to correctly play with lines on clothes. As for patterns, you should be careful with them. It is better to avoid a small monotonous pattern.

Dresses.

A woman with a rectangle-type figure should choose dress models in the empire style. They are simply made for you. The bodice of the dress not only focuses attention on the chest, but also visually lifts it and adds volume. Immediately under the chest, the dress begins to expand and freely envelops the body with soft folds, under which it is difficult to guess your true outlines.

Nobody said you had to give up your dream of wearing tight dresses. They should be present in your wardrobe, but again they should be worn correctly. This means that you need to focus on the places you need. A pattern on the fabric of the dress will help you accomplish this. Combining horizontal stripes on the bodice and diagonal ones at the waist will work wonders and make you look very attractive and feminine.

Wrap dresses or robe dresses also have their place. They are quite suitable for creating more feminine contours of the figure. You can afford dress models with puff sleeves. But only if your shoulders are not very wide. Dresses with a side slit, decorative seams and lines that introduce some asymmetry into the image can confuse and distract attention from a wide waist.

The combination of a dress with a straight bodice and a lower part made in the form of a circle skirt will help highlight the waist and visually reduce it.

In any case, the most successful dress style will be a “sheath”. Choose one that fits your figure well, but does not restrict movement. The material for such a dress is preferably dense so that the shape holds well.

We've sorted out the styles, but what about the length? Here every lady should choose by looking at her legs. If they are slim and of the correct shape, then don’t hesitate to choose a mini. In other cases, it is worth hiding defects under the length to the knee, a little behind the knee, or even below.

Skirts and trousers.

When choosing your trousers, pay attention to how slim your figure is in general. A woman with a delicate body constitution can choose tight-fitting models that are tapered to the bottom. Women who have some problems with excess weight will no longer allow themselves such trousers, so as not to once again draw attention to their problem. They should opt for straight-cut trousers or flared trousers that start from the knees. Buttocks that lack a rounded shape can be visually corrected with the help of decorative tricks such as patch pockets at the back.

A-line skirt will help out women with a rectangle figure, because it can add much-needed volume to the hips. This will create a contrast between the “plumper” hips and waist. The same can be done by “sun”, “half-sun”, “tulip”, “flared” and other voluminous styles. But straight-cut skirts that are very tight at the hips are contraindicated for you to wear. However, the “pencil” style can only be worn if it has a semi-fitting silhouette without a belt and is made of thick fabric.

It is advisable to select skirt models with a low waistline. Wide belts and sashes will help to visually reduce your waist by a couple of centimeters. They should not resemble corsages starting from the chest. Because this is the other extreme.

Jackets, blouses and tops.

Tunics are a win-win option for women of this body type. Not all of them, of course. They should be made from airy fabrics that create a flowing silhouette. The neckline should preferably be deep, round or V-shaped. The length should be to the hip or to its middle. If all these recommendations are implemented in one product, then you will have the ideal tunic for a “rectangle” woman. You can also experiment with corsets over blouses. They will help tighten your waist at least a little, and present your chest and hips in all their glory.

T-shirts, tops and T-shirts should be long ones that cover the stomach and reach at least to the beginning of the hips. It is advisable to avoid narrow straps on products - they create a contrast against the background of a wide chest and shoulders. Various flounces, frills and ruffles in the chest area, on the contrary, are welcome. Because they help create additional volume in this part of the body. A large drawing can also cope well with this task.

Jackets, jackets and blazers should be chosen with a fitted silhouette that fit well and do not hang out. There is no point in choosing long models. It is better to stick to slightly shorter versions or reaching to the middle of the thigh.

Swimwear.

Feel free to buy two-piece swimsuits, because one-piece swimsuits will present you in an unfavorable light. Your destiny is a bikini, and in bright, saturated colors. It is advisable to avoid drawings on the product. It's always easier to choose something from solid-colored swimsuits than to guess whether this floral bikini is right for you. Models with thongs are not created for you, because they will emphasize a wide waist. This is not the first year that swimsuits with a decorative belt on the panties have been in fashion. This is a great move to visually add width to the hips. So don't miss out!

If you still decide to shine in a one-piece swimsuit, then take care to choose an interesting model with a diagonal pattern or stripes. This could also be an option when the swimsuit seems to be separate, but is connected at the front by a strip of fabric concave on both sides and reminiscent of the seductive curves of a woman’s body.

Accessories

Bags, jewelry and other decorative elements in clothing should be a continuation of the rectangular figure. Choose items with clear lines and right angles. Curves, a circle or oval shape are not recommended for you, because they will immediately create an unattractive contrast between the angular figure and the smooth outlines of the accessory.

Non grata for "rectangles"

Since nature has endowed you with a rectangle-type figure, you are strictly forbidden to wear clothes of the following styles:

  1. Forget about skirts that don't have a waistband and the top is gathered with an elastic band. Such models of skirts will not only not hide your shortcoming, but will once again emphasize it.
  2. Do not focus attention on the waist area, using various draperies on clothes, narrow belts, horizontal patterns in this particular part of the body, etc.
  3. Do not combine short tops and blouses that expose the stomach, and skirts, jeans, or trousers with a low waistline in one ensemble. This duet will demonstrate to others your not-too-thin waist.
  4. Don't go to extremes. Very tight clothes don’t suit you – you already know why. But you don’t need bag-like clothes either. Such clothes generally flatter few people, because they hide even the most feminine and smooth curves of the body.
  5. Avoid tight-fitting skirts and trousers. In such an outfit, your waist and hips will merge almost into an even line, which is very undesirable.

Diet or what can rectangles eat with benefit?

Nutritionists have noticed that exercise is necessary for losing weight, but without adjusting your diet for any body type, including a rectangle body type, it is not sufficient, since you can end up with pumped up muscles with a layer of fat above them.

By adjusting your diet towards healthy foods, you can get the ideal shape of a slender “banana”.

To do this, you need to include in your diet:

  • High-quality proteins: white meat poultry (turkey breast or skinless chicken), lean veal and beef, tuna, shellfish, beans, whole grain bread;
  • Difficult-to-digest carbohydrates: fruits, non-starchy vegetables, brown rice;
  • Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids: sea salmon, sardines, halibut, nuts, avocados, flaxseed oil and olive oil. Use coconut oil for cooking as a product that stimulates metabolic processes in the body. They will help you burn more fat and prevent the intake of toxins that hinder your weight loss process.

What foods are contraindicated for “rectangles”?

Eliminate simple, easily digestible carbohydrates from your diet: highly refined starches (white rice and bread, including products made from wheat flour, potatoes, baked goods) and confectionery, carbonated drinks, foods high in various sugars (including hidden types in the store assortment).

What can a combination of low-calorie, but balanced nutrition and specially selected exercises provide that will positively affect the rectangle body type? Amazing result! Especially if you are not lazy and follow the advice of professionals...

How to choose clothes for an apple body type?

To make the recommendations clearer, we visualize them. Below are clothing options for the apple body type with photos.

Young ladies with an “apple” female figure type should be guided by the following recommendations for choosing clothes when putting together a fashionable look:

  • Asymmetrical clothing – adds dynamics to the silhouette, making the lack of a waist invisible.
  • Clothes with a V-neck, which visually lengthens the neck. This style is ideal for women with a large bust.
  • Clothes with a square neckline (bob) - attracts attention to the décolleté area, and also visually lengthens a too short neck.
  • Blouses for those with an apple shape should fit close to the chest and be loose at the waist.
  • Clothes with a smell. Looks better on slim people. For a full “apple”, the smell on clothes will emphasize very large breasts and hips, which will give a monolithic figure.
  • Jackets with an elongated, semi-fitting silhouette.
  • Jackets in the Chanel style (straight cut with a bare neck) are also suitable for “Apple”.
  • Long, slightly fitted jackets with one button.
  • High waisted dresses. This style will emphasize the beautiful small breasts and hide the excessive fullness of the waist.
  • For girls with an apple figure, one-piece swimsuits with multi-colored patterns that break up the solidity of the silhouette are suitable. It is best to choose closed models with high cutouts at the hips and wide straps. Sunbathers should choose high-rise panties. This is the only way to hide a full belly.

What should women with a rectangle figure wear?

Remember: the purpose of clothing is to create the appearance of a narrow waist or, conversely, by focusing on something else.

A female “rectangle” figure requires adherence to the following rules when choosing a wardrobe:

  • Avoid tight-fitting outfits: they will emphasize your waist, or rather, the lack thereof.
  • Give preference to a loose fit.
  • Focus on your hips (voluminous skirts and various pleats will help you) or on your décolleté: wrap or pleated dresses, bright accessories or a large pattern on the top will help you with this.

What things should “rectangles” avoid?

  • From clothes with a contrasting thin strap. A dark wide belt or belt on loose-fitting clothing in the hip area (light shades) will suit you;
  • From high-waisted trousers combined with a tight “top”;
  • From double-breasted jackets and tailored coats: it is better to replace them with the now fashionable oversized coat;
  • From a combination of straight-cut clothing (for example, a combination of a pencil skirt and a straight jacket/jacket that does not add volume to the hips.

What items should women with a rectangle figure definitely include in their wardrobe?

  • Bra with push-up effect;
  • Layered sets, for example, a loose shirt over a top or a jumper combined with a shirt;
  • Bright accessories, prints, non-standard color combinations, in general, everything that is fashionable now :)
  • Tops and sweaters with round necklines that reveal the neck;
  • A-line skirts and/or dresses (again, you're in luck :);
  • Loose long tops and cardigans;
  • Boot-cut
    jeans, perhaps with a slight flare from the knee;
  • Clothes with a contrasting stripe at the waist, preferably dark shades;
  • Any clothes that visually increase the volume of the hips and chest;
  • Any stylish and non-standard items where the emphasis is not on the waist.

Hourglass body type, celebrities

This figure is considered the most feminine. The famous “watch women” achieved a lot, perhaps thanks to their external data. Bright representatives of type X include Monica Bellucci, Jessica Simpson, Halle Berry, Scarlett Johansson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, as well as the legendary Sophia Loren and Marilyn Monroe.

Full hips and solid breasts attract viewers and speak about the sensuality of the owner, which is why Latin American performers often embody sexuality and attractiveness. Even though Pear and Hourglass body types are popular in the West, celebrities can still be slim and flat.

Celebrities with a pear body type

It should not be surprising that there was practically no place for the “Pear” figure type among celebrities of the post-Soviet space. If a woman has such a figure and performs on stage, then we are talking about a star of the last generation, a middle-aged or older woman. In Russian show business, this is Elena Vaenga or Irina Alegrova. Young stars today must attract people, fascinate and even seduce with their appearance, so extra pounds are not for them. So, slender, busty and long-legged girls who are distinguished by narrow hips and flat tummies appear on stage. The slightest changes in figure often become fatal for singers from girl groups. Producers do not tolerate obesity, and viewers do not want to look at unattractive performers.

Western stars are less strict with themselves, but this does not mean that singers or actresses allow themselves to gain weight. On the contrary, simply extreme thinness does not become a path to fame. Beyoncé, Shakira, Aguilera, Adele, Jennifer Lopez and many other performers keep themselves in shape, but do not lead to exhaustion. It is perhaps difficult to find among Western stars those who strictly meet domestic standards of appearance. Among all types of star figures, it is the seductive and feminine “pear” that predominates.

Body Types: Guide

An ideal figure is a rather rare phenomenon. Most women have a body type that needs some, shall we say, improvements. All body types have certain features, pros and cons. Based on this, you can not only learn how to dress correctly, but also create an individual set of physical exercises that will help reduce shortcomings to a minimum.


Shape associations: body types – apple, pear, hourglass, rectangle 34155

So, how to determine your body type? Undress and go to the mirror to look at yourself in full length.

Body type “A” (“triangle”, “pear”)

How to determine this silhouette? This type of figure implies small breasts, narrow shoulders and a thin waist, but the hips are quite wide and heavy. The fact is that in this case, fat accumulates mainly on the hips and buttocks, hence the manifestations of cellulite.

If this is your body type, don't despair! There is good news. It has been proven that men most often prefer women with a pear-shaped figure - they find her the most attractive and feminine. Yes, you quickly gain extra pounds (you just need to relax a little!), and getting rid of them is not easy. But - the second good news! – if you work hard and still reduce the volume of your hips, your figure will become almost ideal.

Stars with a pear-shaped figure Meryl Streep has a pear-shaped figure 34854

Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, Halle Barry, Jennifer Lopez have a pear body type.

If this is your body type and you dream of losing weight, then try to jump as much as possible, enroll in a dance studio (for example, rock and roll!), sweating profusely is good for you. Train everything below the waist. Active dancing will perfectly burn excess fat from the buttocks and remove the “breeches”.

Body type "X" (hourglass)

How to determine your body type if at first glance everything is perfect - the width of the shoulders and hips is the same, the waist is thin and clearly defined? Congratulations: hourglass is truly the ideal body type for a woman! Even if you gain a couple of extra pounds, they are deposited where they are needed, maintaining beautiful proportions.

Men are delighted with such a figure. The only drawback is the appearance of “ears” on the hips if you are overweight.

Stars with an hourglass figure Scarlett Johansson have an hourglass figure 34268

The hourglass figure type is perfectly represented by Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Scarlett Johansson, and Salma Hayek. As you can see, they are all beautiful in fitted dresses, although they also have their own nuances in choosing a wardrobe.

Your body type is almost flawless, and yet, if you want to lose weight, try running, swimming or dance aerobics. You don't need to pump up your muscles - excessive relief will only spoil such beautiful proportions!

Body type “T” (“inverted triangle”, “carrot”)

Your body type can easily be called an inverted triangle if you have an athletic build and the width of your shoulders is noticeably wider than the width of your hips. Most often, this type of figure implies a weakly defined waist. Look at the athletes - most of them have just such a figure.

Weight gain first becomes noticeable in the upper body - in the shoulders, arms, and also on the stomach. As you lose weight, this type of figure becomes more graceful and attractive.

Stars with an inverted triangle body type Angelina Jolie has an inverted triangle figure 35289

This type of figure can be seen in the examples of famous girls - Angelina Jolie, Cher, Madonna, Catherine Zeta-Jones.

If your body type makes you feel uncomfortable, start workouts aimed at eliminating fat in the upper torso and adding volume below, that is, in the buttocks and thighs. The first step is to get rid of fat deposits on your stomach and back. Intense aerobic exercise will be required.

Body type “H” (“rectangle”, “banana”, “pod”)

Women with this type of figure are most often dissatisfied with their appearance - the shoulders, waist and hips are almost at the same level, and this type of figure is also prone to being overweight. As soon as excess fat accumulates, it immediately appears on the waist, stomach and back. Therefore, it is better to prevent excess weight.

However, this type of figure also has an undeniable advantage: women who are “rectangular” from birth have quite strong muscles that quickly respond to physical exercise and allow them to change the contours of the body for the better.

Stars with a rectangle body type Jodie Foster has a banana figure 34709

The rectangle body type is represented by Tina Turner, Jodie Foster, Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli. Alas, all kinds of straps are not for them, but there are a number of advantages in choosing outfits.

This type of figure can be improved by pumping up the oblique abdominal muscles. In principle, you don’t need to do anything else: your chest and hips are good without exercise, but you’ll have to lose excess fat from your waist.

Body type "O" (apple)

This type of figure is defined by a wide and rounded top - this is facilitated by voluminous breasts and a rather noticeable belly. Sometimes this type of figure is included in the “rectangle” type (considering an “apple” to be a well-fed “pod”). The main task of those with an “apple” figure is to prevent the accumulation of fat on the stomach, for which you will have to reconsider your diet and start pumping up your abs.

Stars with an “apple” figure Britney Spears is the owner of an “apple” figure 35281

Famous ladies with an apple body type are Britney Spears, Whoopi Goldberg, Fergie, Mariah Carey.

If you want to improve your body type, actively burn the fat that accumulates on your waist, chest and stomach. This will require considerable effort - for example, first try doing aerobics, and one workout should last at least 40 minutes. Exercises with dumbbells will also help.

The stars have an inverted triangle body type.

This body type includes Angelina Jolie, Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz, Sigourney Weaver, Renee Zellweger and Sienna Miller. All of these stunning women have narrow hips and massive torsos.

Do you still have a complex and consider Angelina Jolie an ideal? Yes, she is slender, proportional, she has gorgeous lips and eyes. But besides these charms, she is full of shortcomings: broad shoulders, rather narrow hips and a flat butt. A figure with a high upper balance - one wrong decision by the stylist immediately makes the upper body massive. The star's silhouette becomes similar to a conventional image of a men's toilet. Jolie looks so perfect thanks to her slimness, height and stylist, of course.

Rectangle Celebrity Body Type

Sometimes this type is called “sports” or “athletic” because it is characterized by muscular shoulders, slender legs, neat chest and even distribution of weight throughout the body.

It should be noted that many world-famous beauties have a “rectangular” body type. You may not have even noticed this, and all thanks to the fact that they always choose fashionable and correct clothes that hide their shortcomings.

“A rectangle body type for a star is not very good data, and you won’t get far with it,” you might think. But that's not true. Are you saying that Milla Jovovich, Mischa Barton, Julia Roberts, Anna Kournikova, Keira Knightley and Gisele Bündchen are unsuccessful and ugly? On the contrary, many consider these women to be ideals of beauty.

What workouts are suitable for a rectangle body type?

The stocky body of “bananas” tends to be overweight, and fat reserves most often accumulate in problem areas of the abdomen. This makes the figure of the “pods” even less prominent, turning it into a “brick cube”.

The moderate metabolic rate inherent in “rectangles” makes it possible to quickly gain weight, which allows you to soon see a wide waist and a protruding belly.

Workouts that will help you shape your figure!

Selected exercises:

  • Continued aerobic exercise without using weights until your weight is ideal. Try to include before and after workouts, including stress on the abdominal muscles. This will smooth and strengthen your abs, giving you more energy for sports;
  • Separate exercises for pumping up the upper and lower abs, deep squats, push-ups, bicycle aerobics - any training for pumping the straight and oblique lines of the abdomen, as well as loads on the upper and lower back muscles with medium or high intensity.

For the whole body:

  • Long distance running including rough terrain, inclines, stairs, roller skating, the popular "5 Tibetan Pearls", long distance swimming, kickboxing, jumping rope (including weighted apparatus), exercise bikes, elliptical orbiter, skiing - all this must be done at medium or high speed.

What should “rectangles” avoid?

At the beginning of training, you should be careful with exercises that can cause discomfort in the lumbar region: vertical scissors, raising legs forward and to the sides.

But as soon as you pump up your abs and gain sufficient flexibility, these exercises will also become safe for you. They can be included in your sports schedule.

Apple body type, celebrities

Stars with an apple body type, like ordinary girls and women, have large breast volumes, however, the waist, alas, has the same volume, which in this case can no longer be called “enviable”. The middle part of the body is rounded, the abdomen is often pronounced.

Don't worry if you are an "apple" woman. Firstly, your figure can be corrected by training and the right clothes, and secondly, for many celebrities, their physique does not prevent them from always looking irresistible.

Celebrities with an apple body type include: Kelly Osbourne, Britney Spears, Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Simpson, Kelly Clarkson and Queen Latiffa.

Women's portal about beauty and slimness

Any woman is always interested in how she looks. She constantly compares her figure and the figure of her friends, her own appearance and what famous stars look like. By comparing, a woman adequately evaluates herself.

For example, a woman knows that she has a “Pear” figure, is embarrassed about her thigh loops and is ready to change her wardrobe. But you shouldn’t rush into this, but rather ask what famous actresses look like and what they wear, what diets they use. They are very popular all over the world, quite successful, confident in themselves and their irresistible data. What prevents every woman from feeling confident with any body shape?

Famous women with an hourglass figure

The Hourglass figure is considered the most attractive and feminine. World-famous women with such a figure have achieved a lot, and perhaps thanks to their charming appearance.

Lush breasts and rounded hips always attract viewers and speak about the natural beauty and sensuality of its owner, and therefore many Latin American actresses very often embody attractiveness and sexuality. Despite the fact that in the West, hourglass and pear body types are very popular due to their shapes, celebrities can afford to be flat and slender.

Famous women with a pear figure

There is no need to be surprised that it is becoming more difficult for women with the Pear body type to win their place in Russian show business. If she is distinguished by this type of figure and performs on stage, then it means that she is talking about a star of the last generation, usually an older and middle-aged woman. As for Russian show business, striking examples are Irina Alegrova and Elena Vaenga. And young actresses today must fascinate, attract people and possibly seduce with their beautiful appearance, so they cannot afford extra pounds. So, busty, long-legged and slender girls who are distinguished by flat stomachs and narrow hips appear on stage. The smallest changes in their figure very often become fatal for singers from girl groups. Producers can't stand being overweight, and audiences don't want to look at unattractive actresses.

In the West, stars are not so strict with themselves, but this does not mean that actresses and singers allow themselves to gain weight. On the contrary, simply being excessively thin does not become the best springboard to fame. Many famous performers, such as Shakira, Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet and others, keep themselves in shape, but do not exhaust themselves. Perhaps, among all the body types among movie and pop stars, it is the feminine and seductive “Pear” type that predominates.
