Jennifer Love Hewitt's style trick:
Empire Waist
The raised waistline of empire tunics and dresses visually lengthens your torso. Plus, because empire styles fit just below the bust and flare out below, they're perfect for disguising a full tummy and wide hips.
Liv Tyler's style trick:
Short Hems
Skirts and dresses with shorter hemlines give the illusion of daddy-long legs. How? A shorter hemline brings the eye up, creating a longer vertical line. Above-the-knee is universally flattering for most women, but if you have toned legs, go ahead and flaunt your sexy pins in something shorter like a mini-skirt.
Kate Bosworth's style trick:
Killer Heels
Pop quiz: What's the number one wardrobe item women wear to look taller? You guessed it: Sky-high stilettos. High heels not only maximize your height, they also give you that uber sexy chest-thrusted back-arched stance. There's no need to go for towering styles, though, which aren't exactly practical for everyday wear. Even a sensible pair of kitten heels give your posture that sexy boost, minus the achy feet.
Lauren Conrad's style trick:
High-Waisted Pants
High-waisted trousers look especially flattering for women with a long torso and short legs because they visually raise the waistline and make you look leggy. A bootleg cut like Lauren's is flattering for most body shapes. Accessorize with a wide cinch belt to draw attention to your waistline.
