Plump Melanie Lynskey, it seems, is tired of masking those extra pounds and decided to emphasize them in a body-positive way. Two fresh examples prove how different the same figure looks in two dresses of different designs, but the same color scheme.
A pink dress with a thin black belt was a kind of revolution in the fashion world. The combination of beautiful pink and straight black was daring, unexpected and very desirable. Not only because of the brand Oscar de La Renta, who made this dress part of their spring-summer 2004 collection.
This dress appeared in the series "Sex and the City", becoming one of the main and favorite outfits of the main character for all seasons. Fashionistas and women of fashion loved this trend so much that other brands shamelessly copied it, and women looked for this combination or created it themselves, tying pink dresses with black belts.
The time of this fashion trend seems to have passed, but it's time to remember the well-forgotten old in the new realities. This was decided by the stylists of Hollywood actress Melanie Lynskey, who appeared at the HCA TV Awards 2022. Two outfits of the actress were pink, but one was successful and the other was not.
The first outfit resembles the trend described above, which seems to be tailored to the body-positive agenda. In this short puffy dress, the actress herself looks short and puffy. Lower and wider than it actually is.
Several points are emphasized at once: the top and bottom expand; the neck, despite the V-shaped neckline, seems shorter; the belly and wide waist are emphasized; hair, devoid of volume, enhances the disproportion. The whole emphasis is on the figure, which has become immense.
The other dress is also pink, but its design presents Melanie's curves in a different way. There is no hyper-volume, which visually increases, and instead of a rigid fabric - weightless, flowing and pleated, which, coupled with the length and pattern, stretches the silhouette vertically, making a figure slimmer.
We look at both dresses side by side. Between these photos one day. A good example of do's and don'ts. How best and not worth dressing if you have a full figure and a big love for pink.
