Celebrity Bricks To Inspire You

Jennifer Hudson Brick Shape Celebrity

Jennifer Hudson

The American Idol singer effectively wears a Peplum dress which creates curves around the hips which gives her a killer hourglass silhouette figure.

She cleverly wears an open neck line to break up her shape.

Dark tights are essential when wearing a frock above the knee as they are needed to shape the legs and they act like a giant shadow, reducing the appearance of the knees which results to an exaggerated curve to the calf area.

Other celebrity Brick's include Dame Judi Dench and Kim Cattrall.
