Alicia Keys: Use Colorblock to Show off Curves

The long white panel on Stella McCartney’s “contoured colorblock” dress nips in at the waist and widens at the bust and hips, highlighting Keys’s every curve to create a voluptuous look that’s totally modern. Want to try it for yourself? You’ll find similar sheaths, pencil skirts and tops in stores now.

Fun fact: McCartney’s universally figure-flattering dress was such a hit, versions have been worn by everyone from Nicole Scherzinger to Kate Winslet, LaLa Anthony, Mel B., Liv Tyler and Jane Fonda!
