Hollywood superstar Katherine Heigl appreciates clothes. Long To mirror Katherine’s style, keep fuss to a minimum. Tasteful fabrics drape her figure with smooth, graceful lines. Omit severely patterned fabrics and think fusion, not blocking. Skirts and dresses accentuate height, drawing the eye down a seemingly endless trail, while deeper necklines sit perfectly against an elongated décolletage.
Clothes needn’t be figure hugging to cling to a woman’s curves. Fabrics with a wispy lightness help silhouette the body’s shape without distastefully adhering to it. Silks, cotton-bamboo blends, voiles, chiffons and georgettes all perform dutifully in achieving that classic hourglass shape. Incorporate floaty pieces into a wardrobe of comfortable jeans and luxuriously soft cashmere cardigans.
Always classy, dressing in white gives a clean look. Don’t be afraid to maximize the imposition of white into a wardrobe - let it contrast with a navy cardigan, pair it with a floral skirt or shorts, and try wearing a tailored man’s dress shirt. The femininity of white is timeless, be it opaque or translucent.
Liberate the hair from those girly accessories and keep it moving and uninhibited, let it fall and tousle a little. Katherine’s short, fuss free hair lengthens her neck and is in perfect proportion to her slender body, making her appear taller. Choose a cut that not only complements your face but your whole body.
Choose handbags wisely. Katherine has an array of them that she uses to accompany her outfits. Opt for the larger sized totes rather than the daintier clutches; they’ll ooze that effortless ‘casual and relaxed’ chic.
Keep jewellery to a minimum. Don’t fuss with chains upon chains, and big, gaudy rings and earrings - just keep it simple and elegant with a key statement piece or simply beautifully bare skin.
Have a few structured jackets that can be worn with jeans, and a couple of glitzy sleeveless dresses - Katherine favours the one shoulder type. Finally, invest in some versatile boots, flats and heels – and you’re well on your way to walking the red carpet!
