Curves Rule: More Girls Want to Look Like Christina Hendricks Than Kate Moss

By The Editors of StyleList Posted Aug 31st 2010 04:30PM

Lots of men would tell that they wish that 'Mad Men' star Christina Hendricks ran the show in their office. And apparently lots of women would tell you that they wish they were Hendricks.

The UK edition of Cosmopolitan magazine claims that young women would rather look like the breakout 'Mad Men' star than iconic waif Kate Moss. Need a Kleenex, Kate?

"Joan [Harris, Hendricks' character] has had a huge impact on fashion and on women having the confidence to flaunt their curves," editor Louise Court told the Radio Times.

"This year loads of girls want to look like Christina Hendricks, not Kate Moss."

Hendricks -- currently starring in London Fog's new campaign -- has also recently been praised by Britain's Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone for setting a great body-image example with her hourglass figure. The voluptuous actress has become a pin-up thanks to her role as the 'Mad Men' office manager.

But don't beat yourself up, Kate -- at least the fellas want your body. According to a (very specific) new study, Moss has the perfect waist-to-hip ratio for attracting men. Feel better?

Meanwhile, check out Hendricks flaunting her curves in a lilac Zac Posen dress at the Emmys on Sunday night where her 'Mad Men' took home the Emmy for Best TV Drama.

What about neither? I just don't get the hype about either of the two.

The problem is we can't see your vagina through your clothes, unless you're wearing REALLY tight pants.

Yuck! and Yuck! Miley Cyrus has the perfect body type. These two look prety extreme.

Angela, I dont want to be argumentative, just to offer an opinion. You are right, Christinas boobs are WAY bigger than most womens, but the reason her body type is more realistic is that it is real. She isn't pumped full of silicone or botox, her face hasnt been sliced up into some ghastly mask by a plastic surgeon, she isnt starved to the point of emaciation,nor is she arobicised to the point that her muscles have the cut and defined look of a bodybuilder. She has large breasts and wide hips and she doesnt go to insane lengths to make her body into something that it isnt, and probably shouldnt be. She works with what she has, and she looks fantastic. You are correct that women should not go out and get implants to look like her. Instead, they should embrace her attitude of, this is the body I have naturally, I will accentuate the features that I like and de-emphasize the ones I dont like so much. Rather than try to conform to some ideal that no one can really seem to agree on anyway, and isnt natural or healthy, they should appreciate the body they have and present themselves in a way that is most appealing to themselves. You would probably be surprised at how many man think that that is attractive, if that is even important.
