Curvy Girl Style: Dressed To The Nines

We've pulled together the hottest curvy muses to inspire you in the many ways to flaunt your shape in style.
By Alexandra Phanor-Faury · March 16, 2010October 29, 2020
01
Mo’Nique

Mo’Nique’s pleated Grecian gown lays flawlessly over her frame.

02
Sheryl Lee Ralph

Sheryl Lee Ralph looks hot in this slinky, strapless gown in fiery red.

03
Niecy Nash

Niecy Nash is a red carpet ‘do’ in a ultra-flattering one-shoulder gown.

04
Mariah Carey

We’d love to see Mariah wear more dresses her size like the beautiful Valentino number she wore to the Oscars. It’s refreshing to see her not popping out of her clothes. Mariah looks not only classy but slimmer with a dress that fits well.

05
TK

Love your legs? Than keep the focus on your gams in a mini-dress.

06
Sherri Shepherd

A wrap dress is the curvy girls best friend. This shape is ideal for creating the illusion of a smaller waist,camouflaging hips and lifting the bust for a sexy cleavage.

07
Amber Riley

We can’t stress enough just how beautiful draped Grecian gowns are on curves. We’re glad Amber is taking note of this lovely silhouette.

08
Jennifer Hudson

Micheal Kors’ electric blue chiffon dress is simply irresistible on Jennifer Hudson.

09
Raven Simone

The shoulder cut-outs of Raven Simone’s form-fitting dress are a great new way to show some skin.

10
Jordin Sparks

An empire waist ,where the fabric hangs effortlessly from the bust down, is a great cut for busty and curvy women.

11
Queen Latifah

Dark shades aren’t the only hue curvy girls can rock. Look how breathtaking Latifah is in white. Again, it’s all about a great fit.

12
Oprah

Navy is the new black. Oprah is one of the many red carpet celebrities turning to this shade as an alternative to black.

13
Mary Mary

Both ladies accentuated their middle with waist cinching dresses for the Grammy’s.

14
TK

A little bit of cleavage goes a long way.On the other hand, a whole lot of cleavage can sink any ensemble, so make sure to keep your bust fully covered like this voluptuous beauty.

15
Jazmine Sullivan

Jazmine Sullivan’s navy jersey dress is sexy without being too revealing.
