Style star! Gwyneth Paltrow.......

Gwyneth is a long lean gorgeous rectangular shape. She accentuates her best assets and shows off her shape effortlessly. Below are some of her beautiful  looks! :-)  The key is to keep your styling feminine, to add shape and curve. Gwyneth is fortunate to have a great set of legs....not very common amongst rectangles. Bows, ruffles, sheer laces, and satins, are great for you!! Because you are tall - you can carry it off beautifully!!! Gwyneth you are gorgeous!

Rectangular/ruler shapes

Below are some celebrities that share your shape! The shoulder, waist and hip is normally more or less the same, and this frame is often called a 'boyish' frame. Uma Therman, Cameron Diaz, and  Nicole Kidman are probably some of the best known 'rectangles' that  style themselves beautifully

Appleshape - Please do not wear......

Short, boxy jackets - the jacket ends near stomach area and of 'broadens'the are you would much rather camouflage. Pleated skirts - add volume to your shape, and is often unflattering. Broad, horisontal line - are a big 'no-no'. This accentuates the stomach area. Please don't believe the lie - that you have to wear baggy longer tops, - it only makes you look even bigger! Empire lines or wrap styles are great for you hun :-))

Appleshaped celebrities that works their style. My favourite here is Drew - The diagonal lines on the bust create a slimming effect and do you see how she wears a dress that is not fitted, but just skims the hip and waist. My concern is the manner in which she 'poses'shows off her lines - Tip - watch the pose....or opt for a deeper colour?? I must admit - I do not like Jessica Simpson's dress - there is the danger that it might accentuate the wait and bust even more, but she pulls it off well. I know their secret - slimmers!!  Don't go to your flashy event without it hun.......Do you know it slims you almost by 2 sizes?
