Athletic
Your Celeb Inspiration: Gwyneth Paltrow
Your Go-To Dress: Creates curves
Look for details like ruffles or pleated hemlines that add curves to your svelte physique. Take another cue from GP and opt for a fitted sheath with an interesting neckline (think: one-shoulder) – it will add dimension and draw the eye up.

Curvy
Your Celeb Inspiration: Sofia Vergara
Your Go-To Dress: Emphasizes the waistline
Like many va-va-voom ladies before her, this actress owns her curves by emphasizing her hourglass shape. To get the effect, choose styles with wraps, belts, or strategic colorblocking to visually nip in the smallest part of your body.

Petite
Your Celeb Inspiration: Kerry Washington
Your Go-To Dress: Tailored to a T
Kerry Washington serves up fearless fashion inspiration for the under 5’4″ world. Petite frames don’t have to shy away from novelty prints or other trending details – Kerry shows us that it’s all about proportion. Just keep prints small-scale, so they don’t overwhelm your shape.
