Although I think that celebs sometimes only make clothes that look great on people who are shaped like them, other famous designers are guilty of maing clothing for super skinny people too. It's not like this is something that is uncommon so, no I wouldn't not say that celebs are unfit to sell clothing.

I mean...I "wouldn't say"

Ok, that size 6 girl does NOT look like a size 6. Same with the 8 and 10. They look much smaller than that.

those are UK sizes...size 6 is a US size 2, and size 8 is a US size 4

Sizing is different in the UK. Size 6 is a US 4, size 8 is a 6, size 10 is a 8 and so on.

in my opinon the only acceptable ranges i think are the ones by actual REAL designers like the viktor and rolf for h&m or stella mccartney for new look.

thank you for clearing up the uk vs. us size differences b/c i was about to say the size 8 girl definetly looks smaller then that b/c she doesn't have much hip to make her need a large size.

i personally think there should be advertisements like this where the do show what it looks like on a "any clothes looks good on me" body versus a few sizes larger... b/c then you can get an idea of how it will look on someone with bigger boobs/butt/hips/etc especially if you plan to order online.

It motivates me, and makes me feel bad about myself all at the same time.

I think it wouldn't be a problem if these size 00 celebrities designed clothes that were cut for all body types. It wouldn't be an issue if they made items other then slinky dresses or skinny jeans. And even in the real world thin people still have curves and those styles still might look a bit wonky. I think they should just design them for everyone, the mass public.

...and i think that the vest and shorts are not flattering at all on the size 14. the vest would be better if she had a smaller chest size tho. otherwise i think the kate moss outfit looks best on the size 10.

I am so happy you posted this, I think all celebrities should think about the audience in which they are selling their clothing, they should think about modern day women, that don't have time or funds to have a personal trainer and private chef.

I think the size 10 looks the best in the Kate Moss outfit, and NOBODY looks good in Madonna's outfit.

I also believe that if they designed clothes meant for "regular" people, no one would be interested in them, no matter what they say.

I just keep thinking Kate Moss bears a very close resemblance to David Coverdale in this photo... hm...

I was gonna say, no way is that first girl a size 6 and the next an 8...I am a 6 and shes definitely smaller

I just think the collections are kind of boring. Especially Madonna's. And that kimono style dress would do nothing for my size D's. I'd be falling all over the place.

The UK size 6 girl (US size 2) is the only person who can wear the outfits well, in my opinion. The UK size 8 girl might look cute in it, but the vest is stretched way too tight across her stomach.

I liked the comparison a lot. And I agree designers should design more fashionable and wearable clothing for women who aren't a size 0-2.

I'm sorry, but I'm happy the clothes run small. Hopefully, I'll finally find womens clothes that fit me.

I just had to correct what clutch26 said - UK size 6, as a few others pointed out, is a size 2. The largest of the women pictured, the UK size 14, is an American size 10. I'm kind of annoyed at the paper - I'm a UK size 14, and that's not really what my body looks like at all. For a tall girl with big boobs and hips a size 14 doesn't really look like that woman does - she's likely a lot shorter than I am. I bought those shorts online, and absolutely love them - they're supercomfy and they may be supershort but they're also cut really well.

Confidence and a knowledge of the type of body you have is what allows you to wear this kind of thing, not the body of a supermodel. There's a big difference between a size 14 who's 5'9" and a size fourteen who's five inches shorter. You can be a size 14/US size 10 and be healthy and fit and look great in short shorts.

On the other hand, that kimono dress is kind of hideous. Y'all are right - nobody really looks good in it. The dress's fault, then.

this is soooooooo cool! i always wanted to see what celeb vs real people look like when you try on their clothes! thanks for this fitness!
i'm a size 8 so is that a uk 10?

Very interesting post Fit! I personally am on the fence with this one... I do think that their clothes should be fashioned and sized towards the mass public however we all know that doesn't happen. So I really think it's best that you just shop where you know the clothes will fit you well and are most comfortable in. I also think that fitting into a dress you really like is motivational with *any* clothing line or designer.

wow, that's really interesting to look at!!

On average Size 8 - 10 look the best in most the outfits. Though ironically Size 14 looks the best in the blue dress.

I just posted a picture of me wearing one of my M by Madonna dresses. It's surely a larger size than Madonna wears but I think I look outstanding. Plus, Madonna's H&M sizes went all the way up to size 16 and I was shocked and happy to see that.

hazelnut: UK 6 is a US 2, so just add four to get your UK size. If you're a US 8, that's a UK 12.

Just one conclusion : buy what looks nice on you, and not blindly follow any trend. Style is an attitude !

They all look bad in Madonna's dress, IMHO.

HANG ON A SECOND:
If this is from a UK magazine, we need to bear in mind that the girls in the pictures are NOT what those of us in North America would consider a size 6 or 8 - euro sizes run much bigger. This means that the girls in the pictures are actually a UK 2 and 4. Something to consider, if that's what we're judging what average people look like in the clothing, man, I'm hopeless. I'll never even be as lithe as the comparisons!

i think the size 10 in kates outfit looks great! that is really cute i would wear it...however madonna's dress is not so good on anyone. what did they do to madge's nose in the pictures...she looks like she is going to peck my eyes out!

the size 14 girl cannot be a size 10 - i'm a size 8/10 and she looks bigger than me (or maybe im just delusional). maybe because i'm 5'7?

I think I would like it if someone more my shape/curves (read "not a size 0) would make clothes. Maybe Scarlett Johanson or Jessica Simpson. I like Daisy Fuentes jeans because I have a bigger butt and smaller waist and her jeans fit me well.

Obviously that dress of Madonna's looks awful on the size 14 girl. It looks 2 sizes too small. And the I think Kate Moss' waistcoat wouldn't look good on anyone any bigger (the size 8 looks a little chunky in the tummy in it).

I'm a US 0/2 but I have a DD chest (genetics, not surgery) - so no celebrity-styled anything works for me without having the possibiliity of looking VERY trashy - most of the celebs who design these things are much more proportionately built. However, right now I'm wearing one of the Madonna H&M shirtdresses and I've gotten nothing but compliments today. Like so many of the other women have noted, it's all about knowing what works for you.

They should have clothes for skinny people, they have clothes for fat people.

The larger sizes don't seem to be tailored as well as the smaller ones. Too much puckering and such on the sides. No excuse for that.

hey GeikoSera-this is my opinion of course, but-most lines WILL NOT make clothes that look good on bigger people, as they don't want to have big people wearing their clothes. For example, I could not go out an buy anything designer because for the most part, these clothing lines do not make plus size clothing...plus size women are not allowed to dress in 'cute' stuf like that so no one in the high end market makes it.

Cravingsugar, I think you totally hit the nail on the head! :/

all the models who are bigger than size 6 look terrible in the photos. the size 8 kate moss vest looks way too tight which it shouldnt seeing as size 8 person is smaller and skinnier than the "average" person. i dont think celeb lines cater for women over size 6.

I'll take Madonna ANY DAY over the usual crop of Vogue models. Madonna is only 5'4". She might wear a US size 2 but at that height, she doesn't need to be extremely underweight to achieve it. It's not like the 5'11" size 0 models we've been seeing on the runways. Madonna may be thin, but it's a healthy kind of thinness that's a lot more achievable than what we often see in fashion ads.

As for the poor fit of the clothes on other women... well, I've never been to Topshop, but this just seems like typical H&M to me. I never saw anything at H&M that looked good. They use cheap fabrics that don't drape well, they take shortcuts in the construction that cause an awkward fit, and nobody really looks good in the clothes unless the garment has been pinned in back and carefully arranged for a photo shoot.

why would a larger sized woman EVER wear horizontal stripes??!! Doesn't make sense to me...

the only reason they actally sell the cloths is because they are famous...i mean most of it is pretty ugly(thought i do like those shorts!

I'm so glad to see this! Even the UK and US size difference, needed to show that all the woman look just as good in all the outfits. If you pick something that's flattering for your body, you're going to look good. These are pretty common outfits- shorts and a dress. Which all woman wear. Very good comparison. Wish more designers would look at this and the replies. So what now they might have to be a certain weight at certain agencies, but not all, not a "mandatory" thing. So what 2 models died. They just want that money no matter what. When it's woman like us that buy the clothing in the stores. I think it will be a long time if ever, that the size 4 model will change.

Me too butterfly7.

I don't think it matters if the celeb is thin as long as the sizes run accurately and don't stop at a size 6.

Aw man, I was like, that size 10 looks the best in everything and I'm and size 10 so I must look pretty good, too, right?!? Cuz I'm like, jeez, size 10 is big but she looks thin. Then I read about the UK sizes.

It's knowing what style and suits your figure! not EVERYONE will look fab in hotpants.
