clothing for "ScarJo" body type?

Hey! It's my first post in here so i hope that i'm posting under the right category LOL!

I have a body type that looks veery much like Scarlett Johansson's. The only difference is that i'm a bit taller (5"5/166 cm), a bit slimmer than her (114 pounds/52 kg) and my hips aren't as curvy.

My question is... what THE HELL am i supposed to wear? My breasts are quite large (Cs) and i can't wear anything that exposes cleavage throughout the day because it really looks too much (my tastes aren't even modest), i feel like my legs look very short and stumpy in ANY kind of pants and the only clothes that suit me are skirt + loose blouse combinations or simply "sexier" dresses suited for more formal events/ night attire.

Outside of premieres Scarlett seems to be wearing a lot of yoga pants and overall casual clothing which isn't my style at all. I don't think i've ever seen her frequently wear more "put together" outfits so it's really hard to find some streetwear outfit inspo because she's the only celeb that truly matches my body type.

I also have a problem with my "flabbier" stomach. I don't have a lot of body fat or anything like that and my body is moderately toned but it's also a bit "soft", exactly like Scarlett's. She also has the same "problem". It's not very visible/anything drastic, but you can still see a bit of her lower stomach fat when wearing tighter clothing/dresses.

My tummy area looks just the same when i wear clothing that's a bit more tight or thin. Even a normal t-shirt could look unflattering on me depending on the material. My body only ever looks good with sexier attire but i can only dress like that on special occasions. I mainly wear skirts and loose blouses and that's fine with me but i sometimes feel like my style is too preppy for my age (i'm only 16) and i look weird around my classmates/friends who for example wear crop tops/"trendy" clothing. Also i get tired of wearing the same outfits all the time (they're not literally the same but way too similar).

I definitely need to freshen up my wardrobe but i have no ideas.

Welcome to the forum!

I don't have a lot of suggestions for what to wear from experience (although I am quite curvy on bottom, I am a little flatter on top), but from your description of yourself, you sound like some kind of Romantic in the Kibbe typing system. It might be helpful to do an internet search for clothing suited to Kibbe's Romantic type. (An example of a Romantic would be Marilyn Monroe.)

A "recipe" that might help you for putting together outfits is to combine one tighter piece with one looser piece. So, if you have a flowy top, you could wear it with a tighter-fitting bottom (flowy button-down with skinny jeans, for example). If you have a fitted top, you could wear it with a less-fitted bottom (fitted t-shirt with wide-leg jeans or cropped flares). That would still give you some body definition without emphasizing every single curve.

I find it helpful to look for "curvy fit" bottoms, because those have extra space for the rear end and therefore don't look as skin tight.

Curvy fits sound like a good idea to me. Also, the high waist style in vogue now may really be your friend...

I would go with a wrap dress and some sort of boxy topper like a blazer or jean jacket.
For tummy coverage you can get yourself a thick belt or else find a dress with shirring.

You can also try a skirt and top and pouffe out the top a bit to cover your tummy.

I think jersey (tshirt fabric) or tibknit is really good on va-voom figures.

Good luck!!
