Woman Dresses Like Celebs To Show That You Don’t Have To Be Skinny To Look Good (29 New Pics)
InterviewLooking stylish lies at the classy intersection of good taste and unwavering confidence in yourself. And it's really the latter that's the more important of the two. That's one of the things that the founder of the Megababe beauty brand and body acceptance advocate Katie Sturino wants to show the world.
The New Yorker dresses up just like celebrities and proves that you don't have to be runway model-skinny to look so darn good, you set the internet on fire. Check out some of Sturino's hottest new looks below. Remember to upvote your fave pics and let us know in the comments which of her outfits you loved the most and why.
"I’ve been able to really connect directly with my followers in a new way through Stories. I am sharing my personal beliefs more. I’m definitely not shooting as much 'street style' content," Sturino told Bored Panda how the pandemic had affected her projects. Read on for our full interview with Sturino about her latest projects, how she's been doing this past year, and how to feel more confident with yourself.

Katie Holmes
Her outfit looks better than Katie’s. Her top is better and her jeans aren’t corny.
Sturino launched her Squeaky Clean Hand Sanitizer via Megababe back in January 2020 because, in her own words, she wanted to create something that killed germs but didn't crack your hands.
"By March, the product sold out twice and the waitlist reached 15,000, but we were able to speed up our production to launch a bigger size as well as restock. We also launched the #MegababeCares initiative. We asked healthcare workers what would help most with long shifts, and sent anti-sweat, chafe, and odor products to provide comfort to these healthcare heroes. At the end of December, we launched our Squeaky Clean Sanitizing Wipes."
What's more, Sturino has continued with the Make My Size series. "It has been interesting to see how the media has covered weight gain and loss in quarantine. I always share that this is not news!" she said. Sturino added that she loves collaborating with Stich Fix and "their commitment to helping every woman find her personal style."

Heidi Klum
Reese Witherspoon
Sturino also had a straightforward but fundamental tip for anyone who's struggling with their self-confidence or is worried about their style right now: "I always say, put your confidence on first!"
She aims to empower women of all sizes, make them more confident, help them celebrate their style, and to raise awareness of size inclusivity. Her Instagram page already has over half a million followers who are raring to get her newest updates, looks, and insights about the beauty and fashion industry.

The length of the jacket and dress should be the same. That’s what makes the outfit on the left. Otherwise you’re just wearing a sundress and jacket.
Chrissy Tiegen
Lily Collins
The New Yorker also runs her own weekly podcast called Boob Sweat which, like you could've probably guessed from the no-nonsense name, tackles taboo topics. From divorce to dating in your 30s and more.
Back in June 2020, Bored Panda spoke to Sturino about her campaigns, movements, and her plans for all of them. “Though size inclusivity in the fashion industry has made a lot of progress in the past few years, it is clear that there are still some brands that will never extend their range. We have a long way to go,” the activist told Bored Panda.
She explained that she, like many other women, feels frustrated when she can't find any fashionable clothes in her size while out shopping. “And I'm a blogger! In NYC!”
Mila Kunis
Simone Biles
Kendall Jenner
The jacket on the right isn’t form fitting enough and the lapels are tooooo big. Her shoes are cuter than Kendall’s though.
Fortunately, she's been able to make some changes to the industry, having partnered up with Veronica Beard and Diane Von Furstenberg, whose pieces she described to us as “fashionable and inclusive for all women.”
What's more, Sturino collaborates with Stitch Fix which she said was a “total ‘pinch me' moment.” With how many different projects Sturino works on, we sometimes wonder when she finds the time to get her beauty sleep.
Tan France
It isn't french tucked! Tan is wearing something without a French tuck! The apocalypse is nigh!
Yara (يارا) Shahidi
Isla Fisher
Emma Roberts
That looks like a super comfy outfit. Proof you can be comfy and still cute
Kate Middleton

Honestly, slavishly following celeb looks does nothing for her different type of figure. She needs a more structured hourglass cut, she' needs to balance her top-heaviness.

Mindy Kaling
Alessandra Ambrosio

Does anybody else think she looks a bit like Kirstie Alley from a few years ago in this one?

The one on the left looks like a painters overalls without sleeves, where as the one on the right also looks like a painters overalls without sleeves.

First of all everything looks like she pulled it out of her dogs mouth. Iron / steam those clothes at the least. Second buy a size up being a stuffed dove is not cute. Third this is just a slap in the face of woman like mindy who has hard time loosing weight but does her best. And again there are clothes and shapes of clothes that suit different body types.smh
LOl "stuffed dove". I'm a size S small woman but sometimes i buy size M ou even L tops or shirts, depending of the shape of the clothes. Looking squeezed in an outfit is far from classy. In french we call it "saucisson" or being "saucissoned" for obvious reasons if you click on the wiki link with saucisson picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saucisson#/media/File:Saucisson_01.JPG
Load More Replies...Well yeah.. uhm, she didn't look good in any of the photos, so I'd consider this a gigantic fail.
The reason most of the celebs looked good was because they chose clothes that were flattering to their size/shape and the clothes were ironed. She looks untidy with ill fitting clothes in most of these and therefore her message didn't translate well. Also the material of her clothes looks cheaper and the not ironing thing made it look even worse.
I read in some magazine (InStyle? Vogue?, IDK) that not only do celebs have stylists, but most of their "photogenic" clothes are custom tailored so they fit well. Almost nothing is just off the rack.
Load More Replies...Please... this content is driving me away from BP. She is a normal looking woman with a few extra kilograms who wears clothes similar to celebrities. This is not interesting. It detracts from the website... on the 'plus' side, at least its not another 'Disney Princesses' reimagined series.
when you say a few extra kg, "few" usually means 4-5, in her case she has to lose like 15kg at least TO BE HEALTHY. so not a few. a lot.
Load More Replies...Stop calling slim people skinny. Being slim is not a problem, being overweight is. It is a problem to your health, ask any doctor.
a recent study showed that over 90% of models are *underweight*. Being underweight is just as bad for your health as being overweight (but for different reasons). It weakens your immune system, weakens your bones, mental development issues... etc. Being clinically obese is worse than underweight and overweight, so we certainly don't want to promote that. The problem is that so many of the images we see are either underweight models, or obese people saying "I deserve to look pretty too!". We never see the two categories in-between.
Load More Replies...Some of them were spot on and others it’s like she missed the point of the outfit and just got the cheapest fake recreation, without understanding why it looked good on the first person. Overall as a lover of fashion, I think it’s cool to get inspiration from specific people you like, and even to copy exact outfits, but you have to understand why it looks good in order to copy it! Mindy Kaling and Kate Middleton have awful style though, so jeez, what people to copy from!
All the clothes looked either frumpy or pulled from a trash can. I saw no style, no class, nothing that remotely looked like someone who cared about their appearance. Kate Middleton got closest to Diana's sense of style. But for the most part, frump seems to be the go to position.
I don't understand this type of trashy articles. She didn't try to copy styles that look good on her and her body type and try to iron and use good quality clothing. It looks like she was mocking them
“You don’t have to be skinny to look good”. Sure. “You can throw a cheaper, wrinkled version of a celebrity’s styled outfit on a person with a completely different body type and it will look just as good”. Maybe not so much.
The worst part is that she's not really enhancing her own shape, she's copying women who clearly are nearly anorexic (Amal Clooney!!!) and can wear those shapes. It's ludicrous. She looks ridiculous.
No, she isn't skinny. Few people are. But she is beautiful and does have a great figure. Skinny shouldn't be our objective. If your weight is in a healthy range then it shouldn't be an issue. Some women are naturally thin, and that's fine. If you are not naturally thin you shouldn't be aiming for it. Over the past few years I've come to realise that this is a rod women have made for their own backs. Men aren't ogling skinny women for it to lead to this being the 'chosen' body image of women. Instead it's the media by women for women that is the betrayal. I started REALLY paying attention to this when my daughter was old enough to pay attention to these things and start to have her own hang-ups. So much I'd never questioned before suddenly came into focus. we have to stop allowing this to be done to our children
Teaching people to love the body they’re in isn’t promoting obesity or an unhealthy lifestyle. It means letting people know that life doesn’t begin when you’re thin, that people of all weights and sizes can live a happy, fulfilling life, and that people don’t have to hate themselves or the way they look simply because they’re heavier.
You are right. But choose your clothes well for your body and your size. You can be beautiful, but choose to iron your clothes, buy quality, and use fabrics which are beautiful on your body. She does not teach anything.She looks like wearing another girls ill fitting, ill ironed cheap clothes, which is a shame. A smaller girl can use very thin fabrics, if you are bigger or normal size you might have a little roll here and there and need more heavier fabrics, cause they fall more nicely over your rolls. Its not about fat, its what to do with your body. She would be veautiful like the stars if she tells through clothing about herself, instead of copying others.
Load More Replies...You don't have to be skinny to look good, but you do have to be able to afford expensive clothes in order to wear expensive clothes?
I have cheapo clothes which look expensive. The cut and fabric should flatter your body and should be ironed if need be, and you can oook like a thousand bucks on walmart prices.
Load More Replies...Sorry, but the "celebrities" win, hands down, especially Kate Middleton. There's no comparison.
I think people should really stop shaming her about the clothes not matching and not looking good in them or they are to tight I feel like she did this to try and get people to have more confidence to show people you don't have to be skinny and it's kinda sad that people are saying she didn't look good or the clothes weren't ironed she is trying to raise peoples self esteem and people are just tearing her confidence down.
This article and this lady are missing the point. There's nothing wrong in admitting different/cuts and shapes other than what Katie Holmes wears is more flattering for your body type, if you're trying to achieve a flattering look. Also attention to detail is everything. Celebrities have specific clothes with specific details, not to mention the quality of the clothes. It's not about matching the same colours.
To me, what this article really demonstrated is that many celebrities have horrible taste in fashion, but they get a pass because they're famous.
She looked good in all the photos, and it was great that she felt comfortable in herself, but fat is not good. Being obese can kill you, or make you more vulnerable to COVID. Be comfortable in what you look like, but try and stay an average size.
Being anorexic like the majority of professional models is bad for your health, weakens your immune system and makes you more vulnerable to COVID too. Funny how people rant about unhealthy eating habits for the overweight crowd, but keep quiet for the underweight. They are both bad for you.
Load More Replies...No. Put that same effort into eating healthy and you won't have to make your life about justifying being unhealthy. Find me a nutritionist or doctor who thinks being that big is consequence free. Should you be allowed to be as fat as you want? Of course. Should you try to promote it like it's something it's not? No. And to do this many of these pics means she has serious issues. I hope she comes around and goes for carrots over justifying being fat.
Yes, imagine!! A heavy girl trying to look good! Shame on her!! Except where did anyone say a word about justifying anything? What makes you think anyone owes the world justification for being themselves?
Load More Replies...Im sorry but most of these dont look good- please just stick to your own style.. instead of copying theirs. besides, celebs normally dress hideous But clothes go with your shape and more- its very complicated tbh.Nobody really has your body, so it doesnt look great. Not shaming! But its just \- n o
First the bigger women can change by eating less. Also stop eating sugar foods like cookies, donuts, ice cream and sodas. Next people should stop lying to them by telling them they look great. No one likes to look at obesity. I've noticed mainly women say the overweight people look good so they won't hurt their feelings. Skinny isn't attractive either. Over weight women stay away from the tights/leggings whatever you want to call them. It's an eyesore. Then there's the real problem with weight. Health issues like diabetes, heart, shortness of breath etc. It's a no win situation. A lot of you will think this is rude but not only it's the truth but people need to be given the facts and stop sugar coating things. They can change their health and weight.
I don't like the way she looks in this whole article. I'm sorry, but she should not be trying to emulate these fashions- it's not working for her.
I don't think it's about being thin or thick while pulling off an outfit. It's the outfit that they carry out. Needs to be without any creases and of good quality. I think the woman would've carried it out in case the clothes were of good quality and yes, ironed.
Fatphobia has deep ties to religion and white supremacy, and the mere idea of slenderness has racist roots!
So, if youre normal sized, you are racist, white, and are a religious twat? Instead of focussing so much on other girls bodys, maybe you should heal yourself and start to love yours. Not with eating or not eating. Heal your soul, your body will follow. Carbohydrates are like drugs. They make us feel good. If you eat less carbs, you might feel lije you are on a withdrawal. Then you might start to feel your deepwr issues. Its hard, but its worth it. You do not need your fat as much if you have dealt with everything in your soul needing an armour.
Load More Replies...Fat-shaming is just another way for people to try to control other people's bodies, most often women's. Admit it: you don't care about a fat person's health. You are just afraid of being out of control yourself!
It is your fear, not mine. My weight is stable. If i eat too much, i eat a little bit less the other day. Like a pendulum. Its not an issue. I love myself when im eating, and when im not. I do not fear eating. I love it.
Load More Replies...I'm seriously disapointed in people, and thank you for sharing opinions no one asked for. If you're not gonna be nice don't say anything.
Load More Replies...We live in a society that teaches fatphobia... This policing of people’s lifestyle choices and discriminating against them because of their body size, is just another way to exert control over others and elevate the status of thin people in our society....Fatphobia is built on false beliefs and drives negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviours towards oneself and others. It leads to fat-shaming, extreme dieting and unsustainable exercise habits that are quickly abandoned.

At it’s worst, fatphobia is contributing to people developing eating disorders, the prevalence having doubled since the 1960s." https://www.balance365life.com/fatphobia/
Thus proving that there are many garments that should never be manufactured above a size 10.
Wow! Why all the negativity? She looked great in most of them. The only one I saw a real problem with was the first set, and that is because no one looks good in those glasses. Like no one. Otherwise, all these negative comments, maybe you need to check your biases at the door.
How old is she though? She could be 25 or 45. Some people are out here looking much older than they are. Anyway, it’s not her age. She could be 60 and pull it off if she were pulling it off. She doesn’t come across as fashionable. Age doesn’t dictate that.
