Did you know, it’s really REALLY hard to put together a list of apple shaped celebrities?!
Most famous folk tend to keep their figures as slim and trim as possible at all times, meaning most of them are “celery” or “string-bean” shaped!
Mind you, there are some very famous *pear* shapes. For some unknown reason, big booty seems to be the flavour of the month – a la Kim Kardashian, J Lo, Beyonce and Co.
So back to apple shaped celebrities – famous women with a thicker middle; usually with great legs. Now, THIS was the key to identifying the (potential, should they actually eat a pasta dinner) apple shaped celebrities – by their legs, ye shall know them.
And the point of finding them? Style inspiration of course for the rest of us apple shapes! Whenever you see their pic in future, you may just find some style inspiration (even if it’s what NOT to wear!).
10 Apple Shaped Celebrities
1 – Liz Hurley. Liz makes it on this list purely because of her lovely legs and the fact that she works them, baby. Have you ever seen her on the red carpet without a thigh high split – or a short skirt like this one? She is deliberately drawing our attention to her legs, and not her waist – which I suspect may be her problem area.
2 – Amy Schumer. She’s baring the boobs AND has a thigh high split in this pic, so you’re too busy looking at them rather than her tum. Although I’m not sure the triangles on her torso are a good idea. They look like they’re pointing out her pot belly!
3 – Drew Barrymore. I really don’t like this dress on Drew; it just makes her mid-section look thick. It would have been so much better if it was fitted under the boobs. If you have an apple shape – take note!
4 – Catherine Zeta Jones. Wowza! She always looks great. But I especially love how she’s working the pocket in this pic – you wouldn’t catch a pear shape doing something like that! In this pantsuit, CZJ is drawing attention to the area ABOVE her tum – with a bright print, and making sure it is fitted at her narrowest point (under the boobs).
5 – Jessica Simpson. I know it’s usually a good idea to emphasize boobs (and legs) to distract from a pot belly, but this is going a tad too far in my boobs books.
6 – Adele. A show stopping jacket over black is a great look (though I’d prefer it shorter, otherwise all the volume further down can make an apple shape look big all over). I’ve noticed myself, that black hides a multitude of sins. The same dress in a light colour can make me look 6 months pregnant, but switch it to black or something dark and my tummy disappears like magic!
7 – Lindsay Lohan. Yes, she’s usually incredibly thin, but I’ve seen quite a few pics of her in a one piece bathing suit floating around on the web and it is NOT a good look on her. Just like when I wear a one piece. One apple shape can definitely recognise another!
8 – Kate Winslet. This dress started off well – halter necks can be very flattering for an apple shape, and the beading also keeps your eyes up – but then the fabric creases all around the tummy area. The lesson for other apple shapes? Steer away from fabrics which crease – or just don’t sit down 😉 !
9 – Dawn French. Dawn looks cute as a button here! This is one of my “go to” looks, expecially in the cooler months – a tunic, with tights or leggings, and boots.
10 – Lisa Rinna. Hooray for splicing! There’s nothing like it for creating a slimming look around the tummy area. It’s a trick I’m all too familiar with 😉 … see below!
Can you think of any other apple shaped celebrities to add to my list of style inspiration?!
