Celebrities come in all shapes and sizes, but the easiest to recognize has to be the hourglass body shape. You’ll see a lot below, as the hourglass figure has been an iconic look since the days of Old Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe.
Some modern-day celebrities with that shape include Kim Kardashian - which makes sense since she wore Monroe’s dress to the 2022 Met Gala - Beyoncé, and Sofia Vergara. Also referred to as “hourglass body shape,” an hourglass figure is defined by hip and bust measurements nearly equal in size, with a narrower waist measurement. Though this particular body shape is one of the rarest, it should come as no surprise that there are many in Hollywood. Emilia Clarke of Game of Thrones and Kat Dennings of Two Broke Girls also have hourglass figures.
From Mad Men star Christina Hendricks to popstars like Megan Thee Stallion and Billie Eilish, you will recognize a lot of the celebrities on this list. Scroll on below to see more female stars who boast an hourglass shape. If you have a similar body shape, you can use these stars for style inspiration.
