To think only thin people can be graceful and glamorous

[musesky]

I've always wanted to look graceful, but no matter how hard I try I know I don't. The glamorous people I see are always slim, tall and well groomed, and it's made me think it's hard to be glamorous if you're short, curvy and big breasted!

I've accepted I'll always look a clumsy mess

Yabu.

My best mate is one of the most glamorous people I know and she is a beautiful curvy girl- certainly not a stick.

It's how you style it out! :)

I think you can definitely be glamorous if you're curvy but it's harder to look elegant

You don’t need to be tall, but it’s much harder if you are fat.

Tall isn't a requirement imo. There are plenty of petite celebs say Kylie who can look as glamorous as a tall one like Halle Berry.

I don’t think of glamourous and graceful as the same at all. Lots of glamourous curvy women, graceful/ elegant I think is more a tall thin thing.

I don't think you're right, OP. I'm about as slim as it gets and I too am a graceless, clumsy mess There are plenty of larger, curvier women who blow me out the water on that front

Grace and glamour are two different things though. I think you can be glamorous with curves, but agree with you that being graceful seems to go hand in hand with being slim. Good posture helps though, regardless.

You can still certainly look good, whatever your size or height, if you make an effort, find clothes that are flattering and make sure you're well groomed. I do think it's easier, though, for tall and slim people. I think they can pull off outfits more effortlessly. Still need to make an effort with hair and skincare though.

you don't have to be tall and slim to be well-groomed and glamorous!! Its easier to look elegant if you are slim, but its still achievable - just harder work (speaking as a short, fat, occasionally glamorous woman!)

Yabu. Not at all. I think a confident happy person is much more attractive and graceful than a tall slim person.

I have seen some very large women styled really beautiful.

Gok wan had a slot on this morning last week.

All larger ladies dressed really elegant.

Honestly some of the most glamorous, attractive and put together women I know, are larger, curvy women. I also think a lot of their appeal is their confidence. They walk into a room and people look at them, but it's nothing to do with their size which I could imagine a person with little confidence would think, it's just this 'wow' factor they have.

I think if you do a lot of work on your posture and deportment you can look elegant and graceful when shorter/larger.

Poise and grooming look great on anyone of any size. Some people certainly seem to achieve this more naturally than others.

Definitely agree on graceful. Now I've put on 3 stone, I've become a klutz and keep banging into things, have fallen over from chairs and have lost spatial awareness.

Sadly, I think you are right

I think looking poised and graceful often comes from good core strength and stretching e.g. from yoga or Pilates. Glamour is about how you dress and feel about yourself.

when i think glamorous my first thought is of a friend who is a size 20ish

i am the least naturally graceful person in the world but years of yoga have given me a much better understanding of/control over my body. i would rate myself as a b- for grace currently, at a size 18. there's nothing quite like swimming for feeling graceful if you don't mind the bits when you're not in the water.

Glamorous and graceful are completely different things to me.

To be graceful you need to be medium height to tall and definitely thin. I don't think Kylie Minogue is graceful or glamorous to be honest. Pretty, yes.

My aunt was very glamorous, and overweight, and short. She just exuded glamour and sex appeal though, in a very classy way.

Sadly I am neither

This is weird I think grace is held in wrists a lot so maybe its all just mannerisms.

I've been told I walk gracefully....goes to pot when I'm sat or standing or interacting with anyone or anything

YABU I am tall and slim and definitely NOT graceful or elegant.

When I think of graceful, I imagine ladies with a lovely, almost feline, way of moving. Perhaps easier if slim.
Whereas I clunk about like a gelatinous robot 🤖

I'm plus size and can do glam. Graceful, nope. But that's because I'm just bloody clumsy

Not always! I used to be very slim and still am quite tall. All the grace of a giraffe in ice-skates.

I'm an 18 in a lot of shops and can look glamorous and elegant. Not graceful so much 😂
