Your Celebrity Body Double

Bee

I’d say Emma Roberts. She has that same short but lanky vibe going on. Her hips are narrower than her shoulders and her legs are scary similar to mine, not just in shape but in skin color as well. She also seems to be flatter in the back than up top. Overall I think she looks pretty good. I do like her better with brown hair, though.

How about you guys? Who’s your body double?

This is actually a question that some stylists recommend you answer as you can then follow that celeb and take advantage of their stylists advice second hand which is an interesting idea.l am not sure that l can answer this though.l don’t tend to follow individual celebs that much and most of them are a lot younger than me these days anyway with a very different lifestyle to me obviously!

I can see that Bee.
I am in my 50s and she died in her 30s but I would say Diana, Princess of Wales. Especially in her teens and 30s.

I am bigger than her- wider. But I see that we have a similar frame and weight distribution. I think both flamboyant naturals too although I would say I am closer to a Soft Natural - she is a bit clearer than me.

Mine is Honeysuckle Weeks, from Foyles War.
I found this quote from her "“I’ve got a long body, short legs and a flat chest, which apparently is spot-on for wearing the fashions of the 40s,”

That describes me too, though like Sal, I am bigger.

Helen Mirren is older but not over weight, so a watch what she wears. Especially on the red carpet
Long ago I liked Twiggy as an example of someone who was not a sweater girl. I was sick of the curvy women of the 50’s.

An interesting question. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anyone, famous or not, that I feel is a body double. But it’s not like I feel I’ve got a unique physique. Hmm…

Hmm, I've never thought about a celebrity body double. Perhaps Halle Berry, but she's busty and I am not.

For myself the only one I can think of is J Lo. Although she has more width than me (especially now that she is really muscular), the shape of her butt and thighs especially are really similar to mine, along with a narrow waist. Sometimes when I feel really self-conscious about those body parts I look at pictures of her to get a confidence boost, but as far as style goes hers is wildly different to mine, so I rarely take note of that. Our coloring is also somewhat similar, and I tend to like the colors she wears (lots of neutrals).

The early 2000's outfits below looks like something I'd wear around that time myself though, lol.

I’d never really thought about a “celebrity body double” until I got into reading about Kibbe and and saw Emma labeled as a Flamboyant Gamine on an instagram page. I remembered from what I’d seen of her, our bodies were pretty similar so I decided to do a Google image search. When I came across the photos of her in the grey shorts and T, my husband (suffering from miopia and having mistaken her for me) looked from across the couch and asked me when those photos had been taken, and where… and most importantly by whom. When I gave him a closer look and told him they were of an actress, he said “Well, she should hire you as a body double”.

I’m a big fan of twiggy too. I was born in a country where curvy bodies have always and still are considered the ideal. So I was always “that skinny girl” (also, “that pale girl”) although it never really bothered me and I eventually came to embrace it. Twiggy and Brigitte Bardot are two of my favourite figures from the 60’s.

Funny you should ask...
The last time I had an answer for this question was when I started watching Ugly Betty and it occurred to me her boss - played by Vanessa Williams - was built a lot like I was/am. I learned a few things by watching how they dressed her and I got to thinking and wondering what else I could learn about how to dress... and that process is how I found my way to YLF.

Okay, I will play :). Hhhm, you got me thinking. I was going to say no-one but maybe Tina Turner. Great legs but carry any extra weight in my middle. I did wear cute mini skirts when I was in my youth.

Maybe Sophia Vergara- though I'm bigger than her atm. My mom is Brazillian too actually, but I fit the type more!

A lot of celebrities who have apple shapes like me wear things I wouldn't wear. They often wear quite glamorous dresses which is not me but LIz Hurley's street style makes me think she might have a similar body type to me (but thinner). Another celebrity, Amanda Redman often wears things I could see myself being able to wear if thats any indication. Both seem to have large busts and maybe their midsection is another place they store their fat but have slim legs like me.

I never thought of a celeb body double. I will have to pay more attention.

Echoing Joy.

I'm tempted to say Jamie Lee Curtis because she has the "all shoulders, no hips" thing going on but of course it would be the JLC of Everything Everywhere All at Once, and not the JLC of Perfect. Also she has a beautiful swan neck, which I do not. So maybe she's not it.

Hmm, that one is had to say but we’re talking body double not face or hair so I would say Cara Delevigne may come closest because she is just a bit shorter than me and tends to carry more weight in her legs, the same with Tilda Swinton and Maria Sharapova, Taylor Swift or maybe Jenna Elfman. They all have similar bony frames to mine.

My husband said we share a facial resemblance as well. I found this old photo of me and compared it to an old photo of her. We have some features in common… a strong nose, thin eyebrows, thin face… but otherwise I don’t t really see it.

There is some resemblance I can see, but having a similar hairstyle could make it look more so. You and her are both pretty for sure. I have never seen anyone with a very strong facial resemblance to me.

I have recently looked into Kibbe and have found it interesting and it seemed to provide helpful information for me. I have not gotten so far as this but will probably look into it as it seems like I could learn something from it. Fun conversation!
