Celebrities are mortal beings just like the rest of us and their bodies are plagued with the same issues as ours, however one thing they do have that a lot of us don’t is access to constant styling advice as to how to dress according to their body shape. They also tend to acquire quite a good familiarity with their basic body shape, understanding what works for your shape is the first step to becoming happy with your body and looking great in the clothes you wear.
The basic thing to remember is that what you want to achieve is balance – you want to balance out the difference between your large areas and your small areas of your body. You can find your body shape at Learn Your Body Shape.
Today, let’s have a look at pear shaped celebrities and some outfits that have really flattered their figures. A pear shape is when your hips, bums and thighs are a bit wider than your shoulders and quite a lot wider than your waist. Generally speaking, pears also have smaller busts and small sloping shoulders.
One of the most obvious pear celebrities is probably Jennifer Lopez, JLo, the woman has totally embraced her ample toned lower half and works it to her full advantage most of the time but even she gets it wrong occasionally.
The dress on the left suits her shape perfectly, her tiny waist is emphasised but the edging along the shoulders creates interest above also, her boobs are shown but not in an over-the-top manner. Even her legs look fantastic as the toned, slimmest bit is the part that shows. The dress on the right is a different matter entirely, it really does nothing for her body, her waist is over-emphasised, the dress is too tight around her bum and hips and just hugs her curves way too much, she has done nothing to balance out her shoulders and her hips…you get the gist.

Kim Kardashian is probably the most voluptuous pear shaped celebrity at the moment and she definitely seems to be happy with her body and her booty.
The first two photos below are examples of how pears shouldn’t dress. In both these photos the lower half is simply far too over emphasises. The outfit in the leftmsot photo also makes her shoulders appear narrower thereby making her hips even larger, the curve pattern on the front of the dress also adds width. In the rightmsot p[hotos, she got the colours right, light colour on top, dark colour below but the skrit is simply too thight, it’s even creating a very slight muffin top and she has a really tiny waist!
Now in these photos, she looks fantastic, in both of them her tiny waist is shown off without her bum and hips being the talk of town. She looks elegant and pretty.

Firstly, you got Kim Kardashian's body shape wrong. She has an hourglass shape not pear-shape as her bust balances out her hips and bum. Secondly, you're basically saying that curves should be hidden under skater-dresses and flowing material. I disagree. I think that curves should be flaunted and taken advantage of (obviously wearing the appropriate length and undergarments), afterall the hourglass shape is the shape desired most by women. Moreover, skater dresses and voluminous skirts add bulk to the lower part, especially when you have a prominent butt, and definitely do not go well with heavy bust.
