Nicole Kidman - Slight Rectangle Body Shape Inspiration
Rectangle:
If you’re a classic rectangle shape like Cameron Diaz, this printed dress from Ted Baker will create those curves for you. The balloon sleeves will emphasise your shoulders and give the illusion of a slim waist, while the V neck shape and band under the bust will help to define and draw attention to your boobs.
A slight rectangle like Nicole Kidman would look amazing in this asymmetric shift dress from Lipsy. The angular neckline broadens your chest area and makes your waist appear smaller, whilst the bulky skirt exaggerates the curves of your hips.
