WEARING BELTS TO CREATE A WAIST?

Have I been wrong this whole time? Has Meghan Markle been using the styling hack or technique of wearing a belt in order to create a waist? Is her proclivity for sloppily tied shirt dresses, trench dresses, and other belted looks done with the goal of enhancing her waistline? If so, is it working? Does it serve it's purpose? Does that style trick give her the illusion of a smaller or more defined waist? Does it work for anyone?
Today's video is answering your questions and comments asserting that Meghan wears belts to create more of a waist since hers is not that well defined. We are diving into that styling technique in detail so that you know whether or not it is the right approach for you and your body, and your outfits. Did Beebs Kelley get it wrong?

Wearing a belt only brings attention to a small or large waist. It works on Catherine, but it’s hard to believe any stylist would add a belt to Meghan’s clothes, so it must be her choice.
It 100% is. She was very offended when it was implied that Jessica Mulroney was her stylist-she wanted it made VERY clear that she’s her own stylist. Oh-that’s obvious. No reputable stylist would want those choices blamed on them.
Of course, never fail to compare her to Katherine.
The way she ties the belts is dreadful. The huge bow is so sloppy.
I'm short waisted and know very well that belts look bad on me. So I never wear them. It just doesn't work to try "creating" a waist when you barely have one in the first place. What you should do instead is "skim over" the problem area by NOT calling attention to it in the form of belts or of tucking your shirt in.
Right??? I am so short waisted. I love belts but honestly other than a brief time in the 80s with low slung hip belts, mostly belts tend to make a good outfit look like a costume on me.
Interesting. Are you able to wear mid-rise and low-rise pants? Due to my long torso and short legs, I cannot. Are you short waisted ladies and gents able to?
@@feonaarabellaparaiso1786es I can . We are complete opposite’s, love all shapes and sizes ! I have a very short body , I’m 5ft 4 but I don’t mind as it make me look like I have very long legs and people always think I am taller . I would love to wear high waisted jeans but they literally come up to my bra .. not a good look 😂 also I never would wear anything Meghan wears always so wrong for her shape .
I am too curvy. Low rise have actually fallen down while I was walking.
But some have looked cute when I am just in my room or posing.
Medium rise are better but tricky. What I make up for in lengthening the torso can make me look thicker through the middle. But in general it's the best choice to also look fashionable & less mom jeans.
Although Mom jeans are the most comfortable. 😂
@@kelsyham Ah, I envy you guys then. I love the look 70’s low-rise flare jeans with a body chain a lot (especially with a lovey crochet top that’s kind of see-through due to the loose knit), but I would never wear it.
Are people so thin-skinned now that you can’t define Meghan’s body type without being criticized or shamed? Good grief. It’s perfectly okay to do so. It’s necessary in order to understand the styling tips you are teaching viewers. Tell those who harass you or try to shame you to stick it.
Yes, don’t pussyfoot around the woke mob. Just offend them and never ever apologize!
She's a bit harsh, she should also throw in compliments. I mean she's got great skin, she's toned, athletic and has long limbs and slim hips. Also, most models have broad shoulders, which are considered sexy
@@courtneymeyers82 but what does she do with all these? What is the point of talking about her good points when all she does is accentuate her bad points? When you look at a person in a whole and only can see sloppy, unfitted clothes who cares about anything else? The point is that we are here to learn about the best way to look polished or in a Megain case, how NOT to do it!
She ONLY has the $$$ to spend on fashion BECAUSE she puts herself out there. It's perfectly fine to critique famous people who consider themselves fashionable.
MM is an perfect example of expensive fashion (and etiquette) mistakes.
Exactly. Beebs always mentions the positive aspects of her body such as her long legs. She also says that Meghan is a beautiful woman. So if you don't think Meghan is the most beautiful woman ever with the perfect body and fashion choices, you're a hater. I think not.
Beebs' analysis is spot on and very helpful. I have a short torso, long legs and a very well-defined waist. I never wear belts because there is so little space between my hip bone and bottom rib that a belt hurts my ribs. Her suggestions are honest, useful, and actually kind. No shaming, just dealing with reality.
Thank you Beebs. 😊
This was really helpful for me. I’ve always known that I can’t wear most belts, but I didn’t know why.
My answer? I’m petite. I can look good in some belts, but that’s rare.
Although Catherine has a figure to kill for, it’s a myth that every style suits her.
Sometimes Catherine can’t wear belts either, the difference is that she doesn’t wear them when they won’t look good.
Over the years we can see that stylists have advised Catherine well, and she has taken this on board. It was a clever move because we look at her now and she always looks fantastic.
It took a lot of effort for her to look that effortless!
💛
You said a key phrase- Catherine has been coached/ taught. But she had to listen, learn, and accept help.
I think Catherine has an eye for what looks good. Her mum and sister always look good too. It's innate
@@keithgriffiths9864 I absolutely agree. If you look back at the photographs of Catherine and Pippa pre marriage, they both still looks amazing. But they don’t look polished, poised and pulled together.
Catherine has had a lot of help, as has Pippa. Pippa’s husband is wealthier than William was (that may have changed since William became Prince of Wales and inherited the Duchy of Cornwall).
Btw I see a stylist in a large department store here in the UK. I go twice a year, it means that I can look good without thinking about it for; work, events, holidays etc. I’m no Catherine, but you would not believe the difference a good stylist can make.
I used to wear a belt, then when I was in my teenage years someone was honest with me and said " a belt doesn't suit you it makes you look larger than you are" I was hurt and upset at the time, but I took a look at myself and thought yes there right, I'm in my 50s now, but it seems nobody is honest anymore, people are afraid to speak the truth and give advice for fear of hurting people's feelings, so everyone thinks they look great
well when you go to wally world and see what folks actually dare to wear, ya realize why people stopped being honest.
A lot of people could use the advice of visiting a mirror, but as a society, we have decided that hurt feelings are the ultimate betrayal. We would do a lot better if we could go back to the rubber and glue days.😂
I have a shape like Meghan’s - no real difference between the size of my waist and my hips. My waist is also low. Belts on dresses always hit me under my ribs and they are so uncomfortable! I stick with skirts and pants, sweaters and blouses, or sheath dresses.
And every time I see that god-awful striped and belted dress, I wonder what she smoked before putting it on.
I completely endorse this advice. I have similar proportions to Meghan except that I am taller, long but shapelier legs, and a Bust (capital B). I avoid belts except under jackets, and the mid-low rise trouser works best. The blousing effect works well too. Skinny belts only. Excellent advice Beebs!
I sincerely wonder if a dress in the "Matilde" vest dress by Alex Mill style might be workable for people if the 2 side adjustment/ belts were in the right spot, as in tailored to fit a person's waist placement and bust. It has sort of a reverse straight line effect than a blazer over belted pants, but has a flat front panel. A blazer could still go over the dress, as well.
@@lizhyink5636 I've just had a look at 'Mathilde' and I think it would definitely work. That slim V created at the neck, continuing into the vertical line of the buttons but no belt I think could look very nice on Meghan's / my shape. It probably depends on the fabric. Linen is probably good for us ordinaries, but I'd look at a drapey, non boxy but still substantial fabric like wool crepe which would give a smooth and elegant outline. I'm a seamstress, so I might actually try making and tailoring one for myself. If you're shopping 'Mathilde', it is actually quite easy to move the position of the back-tied belt to match your waistline.
Some of the outfits Meg’s worn, you wonder if she owns a mirror. Those sleeveless dresses with a double row of buttons down the front, and a belt sited just under her boobs were totally wrong for her. And as for that number with the stripes going every which way, finished off once again with a tie belt! It’s just about the most horribly unflattering thing she’s ever worn.
Her narcissism makes her believe she’s as thin as Catherine and as tall. She literally cannot see what she actually looks like. When she looks at herself,she doesn’t see as you and I.
@@HGCUPCAKES that's not only an assumption but also a very judgemental, uncharitable one. Why are you thinking that?
@@HGCUPCAKESwhy so much judgement and hateful comments about a woman who you obviously don’t know personally and has never done anything wrong to you!
@@HGCUPCAKESshe just doesn’t know how a mirror works.
@@tymondabrowski12 give HG Tudor a listen, and you’ll understand the narcissism.
Why am I thinking about Sponge Bob Square Pants, and chicken legs. 😊
Please, please, PLEASE, take a look at Princess Mary of Denmark and her fashion choices. I just love her!
Yes, I love her style!
I also like Queen Máxima's looks oftentimes
Don't know about the shape but I found out that wearing a metal belt around my hips suits me well and also peplum blouses accentuate my waist without a belt. At my age I don't expect to have an hourglass figure but my waist is 29 inches . Regarding Meghan, I think for her it would be better to wear camouflage outfits, whatever she buys it looks like she is wearing a paper bag. Camouflage outfits would blend in nature and give her privacy 😂😂😂😂
She needs an invisibility cloak!
@@kpax2066 🤣🤣🤣that would be best case scenario! 🫣😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
💥😆
Some body told her belts help her look and she keeps doing it even though it doesn't work.
To me she looks like she's trying to make everything into an Empire line dress.
You have convinced me to finally donate a dress of mine that I have always felt looked a little off, but I could never quite figure out why--and now I see that the problem is that the attached belt on the dress is too high for me, so it mucks with my proportions and makes me look more short-waisted than I want to appear. Thank you! Someone else will get good use out of it and I will be wearing other things that look--and feel--better on me, and that's a win-win.
🙌💛💛
Yes, it’s always better to send your dress on to someone who will love it and wear it
This is helpful in affirming what it took me 30 years to observe and recognize in myself. I, too, have a dramatically, disproportionately short torso. This makes finding dresses and suits incredibly challenging. I did figure out that belts, gathers - any detailing at the waist, at all - does me zero favors. I appreciate your tips for working with various body traits.
Meghan doesn't have a short torso. It's actually very long. She's tall.. taller than Kate Moss. She just has awful body proportions, a thick waist despite being stick thin, an underbite, masculine face Nd body, big shoulders, and no personality. She's not short at all. She is not feminine at all.
@@doxasophosmoros Meghan is 5’6”; Kate Moss is 5’7”. Neither of those heights are considered particularly tall in this age when a significant percentage of Gen Z females are 6 foot or taller. And I think you better take another look at the photos and diagrams Beebs uses. Meghan’s torso is about 1/3 the length of her thin legs, and yes, this does lend to the appearance of a thick waist.
Hi Beebs; 50 years ago, fashionists said that belts should be worn to draw the eye to your center. Period. I agree with you. It depends on your shape.
😂😂😂 3:34 loved your pause at 'her pregnancies'!!
Beebs, I agree with 99% of what you say and I’m learning about wardrobe misses and hits and styling tips from you. The woman has no waist to speak of and does not flatter herself with her choices. She DOES call attention to it with the belts. I have a similar issue. I don’t wear belts unless I’m in jeans that need to be held up a bit. You are on point.😻😽👍🏽
Why doesn't Harry help her. He has grown up with some of the most stylish,classy women in the world.
Because she seems to think she knows best and therefore chooses not to listen to advice.
I’m 5ft 2 inches & I never wear belts. They make me look like a sack tied in the middle!!
Same height as you. My ribs basically sit on my hip bones. I used to joke that if I wore high waisted slacks I wouldn't need a bra.
I don't know about anyone else but my eyes aren't ever drawn to her shoulders. Markle insists on wearing belts almost all the time and I'm consistently drawn to look at them because they nearly always look bad. Apparently *she* thinks she looks great. Pretty sure she's the kind of person who doesn't take well-meaning advice in any way, shape, or form.
Hi Beebs! You are such a lovely person, you are kind and considerate to everyone. I am usually, but when it comes to Megsi.....well..." You cant make a silk purse from a sow's ear" ... xxxxx
For anyone. If you don't have a waist or have *lost* your waist, wearing a belt only emphasizes the fact. A "princess" style can disguise n this as can a jacket, sweater, well cut overblouse, or "bolero". Speaking from experience.
I love the "princess" style. It's hard to find these days.
Yes. When I wear a belt, I look like Obelix.
@@behawiorystka98 😂😂😂😂😂😂 thanks for your comments had a good laughs
Once I embraced my ‘flaws’ it made dressing so much easier for me. Yes, I’m 5’7”, but I am petit on top and a ‘tall girl’ in my legs. Honestly, sitting down I’m the same height as my 4’9” sister in law, but I wear 34” length pants. Why no one told me when I was a teen that I can wear petite tops even at 5’7”, I don’t know - but it would have made a world of difference to me!
I’m 5ft9inches & I can wear petite tops, the arms are usually too short if it has long sleeves though
I hate belts. Born tiny waisted with a bigger bottom. There's enough attention on my more than ample ass. I wear tunic blouses, etc to feel covered up. Belts are the worst!
I have a short torso. Jane Austen dresses and pinafores! No belts in my wardrobe!
But, why does Meghan keep repeating unflattering styles for her body type? Just because you like a style doesnt mean that style is for you. Again, does Nutmeg not have a mirror?
Not owning a mirror: nice expression - How about putting it like this: getting dressed in the dark?
I wonder if she's dressing to emulate someone else. Unfortunately that person who ever it is has a completely different body type.
Thinking about it she probably has more than one person she copies. Diana and probably Chelsea are two people she tries to copy.. but for the life of me I am not sure who else she is copying.
@@MG-dd9kj haha MG, that's perfect!
if she owned a mirror she would see her undergarments are ALL wrong in most of her outfits
@@savannahsmiles1797 haha No kidding.
As a petite and hourglass figure , I never wear a belt
Another great video, thank you Beebs ❤. This reminds me of the white shirt and pleated skirt MM wore to Wimbledon with the black belt. It made her look huge in the waist and was extremely unflattering.
💛 thankyou
You are so right! I never could put my finger on it. Her shoulders are very broad indeed.
Thanks for discussing this. I have a short waist and avoid belts. I've had women vehemently argue with me that I should be wearing belts. So many ppl think belts are a universal fix for waist/torso issues.
Yes, the opposite, especially if you're short waisted and an apple shape - good grief no! I've watched talk shows where they've done makeovers on plus sizes doing this to "create a waist" please quit it. It doesn’t work. A wrap dress with a blazer and nice wide-set heels would be so much better
I'm short with an hourglass figure and a short waist. Even I can't pull off belts. But, shirts that tie at the waist or dresses that have a natural pull to the side at the waist look awesome.
If Meghan would give up the belts and wear colors that don't wash her out, she would look nice.
Just my two cents. 🙂🙃🙂
She is SQUARE. SHE DOESN’T HAVE A WAIST. when she does wear a tie belt…wtf???
No, you have NOT BEEN WRONG!! Meggsy is stuck in the 80s!!!😂😅😂😅😂
You look absolutely FAB today!!! By the way: you made me buy a blazer (well actually a suit - didn't wear one in ages) & I love it :-)
🙌💛💛 & thank you
I've been wondering this exact same question. I suspect the whole intent is that she's trying to create a waistline by wearing belts, but she simply needs to follow your advice!!
I seriously doubt Meghan ever follows advice. The only reason she looked good on Suits is because she wasn't given any choice as to her wardrobe.
I'm short waisted as well, but I have great legs. I learnt as a young teen never to focus on the waist, skim over it. A-line dresses are terrific, without a seam at the waist. I have used belts that are shaped to sit on the hips just below the waist, in this case the top must be fitted, usually dark. The skirt can be full, but not dirindel, more a circle cut type skirt. I seldom wear skirts even to the knee. A few inches above is perfect to show the interior line just above the knee. I wear slim pants with blazers, and leggings with black tunic a-line tops to just above the knee. I think Meghan needs to simplify. She always looks so blousy and over worked. I love Katherines style, but honestly, she isVERY long waisted. Sometimes she looks odd. Sorry;-))) My style is classic-arty....which I think is what Meghan wants....but she's just too fussy flea markety still. I'd hate to see her at a buffet. She'd need 2 plates. She needs to FOCUS. And tell me. Why do the girls never wear stockings?
I agree, Kate's torso is too long. Yeah it gives her a small waist, at the same time it makes her look too thin and straight up and down sometimes
@@courtneymeyers82I don't agree with you. She doesn't have too long torso and she is not too thin. She is very atletich.
@suzannetevlin8439, Agreed! MM should consider simplifying. Yes, Catherine has a long torso - her shape is similar to Kiera Knightly (actress).
i think the shapes in body shapes are often giving advice on what to hide. Kibbe on the other hand gives advice on how to reel in on your prominent shoulders and little waist definition. It is much more positive standpoint which i prefer. I think she is flamboyant natural.
Mothers are sometimes the person who can impart fashion wisdom for each of our unique shapes.
MMs mom seems to have been absent during those important formative years. She may not have experienced the early coaching that comes in handy in life.
A waist cincher could help give her more of an hourglass. Or she could finally hire a stylist or look at a celeb with a similar body type and use her for inspo. Jessica Chastain has a short waist/boxy torso, but still manages to look good.
You do look especially pretty today…and you are totally correct about the belt situation on her…..she just doesn’t know how to wear a belt…..and probably won’t take advice from someone who could help her…
Thank you 💛
We all have wear what suits us, once we can figure it out, it's not always easy to come to terms with but it is actually liberating to create and develop our own unique style ❤
Beebs, I have to tell you I first started watching your channel because of the ‘train wreck’ factor of Harry’s wife, but I’m continuing to watch because your content is great, and very helpful! I’m an inverted triangle, so I am learning a lot from the examples you give! Yesterday was casual Friday at work and I’d thrown on my favorite skinny jeans, black tee and a military style drawstring waist jacket I’ve had for years. I looked in a mirror and realized if I pulled the drawstrings on the jacket, it gave definition to my waist (I still have a bit of a waist, but three babies in four years a quarter of a century ago has had a long lasting effect😉), as well as adding a bit of fullness to my hips so that my shoulders were no longer the widest point of my body! Thank you! I look forward to learning more from your videos about how to dress for my body type!
I Suits, the costume department dressed her in high, straight skirts and it seems that she takes her fashion cues from that and puts her belts at the same place that the skirts would sit. It looked unusual, but the skirts and tops were styled nicely and they were always pressed and perfectly fitted, something that is missing when she dresses herself.
Somebody needs to teach her how to tie a belt .. if she is going to continue wear belts.
Yk, since she has a flat stomach, narrow hips, she should try one of those chain belts that hang down onto the hips, or similar low-hang belts midrise on fitted shirts, dresses. They would also give her some asymmetry to trick the eye, while showing off her slim athletic figure
One of my favorite tricks is wearing a long white tank under my shirts and leave it peeking out below across the hips - this fills out my narrow hips, draws the eyes to my long legs and makes my torso look longer
You look super pretty! Love your channel. Thank you for all the tips
Thank you so much!! 💛
I say, yes belt. Like small, slim, minimal. Lowered. But not for every outfit. If she's going to hike her waist under her boobs No, no, no. that look will work for the larger, apple shape.(like me😊).
I think lower the waist, make it a wrap, make it flowy and cap sleeve. I think she hikes up her waist on purpose because someone told her that she can get away with it on a pencil skirt. Great for her too with a flowy top.
And always correct size and correct undergarments 😁
Just MHO
Best way to create a waiste if you don't have one is PRINCESS seams! NEVER a belt.
What do all women's magazines and the entertainment celebrity magazines feature at least once in each issue? Figures, who has what kind of figure, the 'who wore it better' features, and for the past decade 'full figure' and 'plus figures' have fashion dissections on what to wear and how. Women's magazine have at least one undergarment article, bra types, tummy smoothers. On and on, clearly the fashion displays in Vogue are for the very few.
Meghan has Meghan's Mirror online since the engagement to Prince Harry and it is all about clothes--Meghan's take on fashion. Meghan is said to be open to gift clothing and on loan fashion, which may account for the lack of tailoring if necessary to return. You can't believe Meghan purchased the engagement photo outfit, described as a "showstopping number" featuring a sheer, beaded bodice and cascading tulle skirt from couture house Ralph & Russo, and valued at $75,000 US.
Big name fashion houses, seemingly competitive to outdress, well, everyone, whatever the result. When Beebs showed Meghan wearing a dress compared to the magazine layout of the dress, clearly Meghan was drowning in the fabric, looking like she is wrapped in toile curtains. It is down to what Meghan sees in the mirror. Two issues, Princess Catherine's clothing is most often relatable--you can picture yourself in the outfit. The second issue is the opportunity Meghan blew right past: What about promoting black fashion designers: "Anifa Mvuemba, Dumebi Iyamah, Fe Noel, Rihanna, Carly Cushnie, Aurora James, Mowalola Ogunlesi Grace Wales Bonner known for perfection in tailoring; Liya Kebede, Ethiopian model and designer produced by artisans across Africa with a foundation for African women for healthcare, education, and jobs; Tracy Reese Hope for Flowers has designed for Michelle Obama and Regina King, board member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America launching new brand, Hope for Flowers focusing on sustainability and ethical production practices; Stella Jean; Camille Perry fashions described as “breezy, romantic, yet fashion forward pieces”. www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/fashion/g33312113/black-fashion-designers/
Thanks Beebs!
Love your channel and gentleness. Thanks for being kind in your approach. Your info is always very interesting and timely. Thanks a million for your work! ~Ali (Nova Scotia, Canada) 🇨🇦
Thank you 💛
She would look so much better with fit and flare silhouettes.
I have never really been able to wear a belt, especially a tie belt. Even when I was quite slim, they just don't work with my body. If there is a tie belt on a dress I look better when I just tie it at the back of the dress, it still pulls it in slightly but not that tightly or noticeably.
When Markle has been shown in something like a swim suit, it's fairly obvious she has no waist. A belt in where a waist should be only shows this more. She does have long legs which would be more attractive if they were more shapely.
Beebs your hair looks very pretty today and the colour suits you.
I wear belts with pants but always under a jacket or cardigan. I am a plus size gal. If I buy anything that comes with a tie belt, the belt is immediately discarded, I hate tie belts. I am fortunate in having a long torso with a defines waist, I guess you could say hour glass/pear. Long torso's can have their set backs too, like with the rise in pants, bodies and swimsuits not long enough. For this problem I shop in the tall section. I am not tall 5ft 4 ins so dress length can be a problem, quite often with a midi dress I have to shorten it as they hit at my not so long legs and make me look dumpy. Just below and covering my fat knees is best for me.
Apart from her wide shoulders, as you say rightly, she has a short torso and for her belts end up almost under her bust.
Why oh why do people tie a belt in a bow right in the middle, when they look much more flattering tied to one side.
Thank you Beebs😊you look beautiful!!
Thank you 💛
I don’t have a short torso but I still feel that belts make me look wide af. Idk how she doesn’t see it for herself.
She sees herself as the most beautiful woman on earth lol😂
Sometimes the type of belt is the issue. A belt that adds bulk ( the tied and bows) does not help. Some of the narrow, discreet, belts do look nice and add a positive effect.
Thank you for these videos! As someone who has a very similar body shape to MM, I really do learn a lot from you about how to style myself to not look so tragic
She had two ribs removed in January trying to get Catherine’s waistline.
Poor Megsy. I adore Catherine but I wouldn't stand next to her either! 🤣🤣🤣
I have a large bust, short waist and long legs. I used to have an hour glass figure and could wear belts, but middle-aged spread has set in. Now a look that is actually flattering is say, a sweater dress, with a loose chain belt sitting more on my hips, with a little bit of chain and a medallion dragging the whole deal toward my feet. I don't know why this looks okay but it does!
I have a torso much like Meghan's & learned decades ago that belting closer to the top of my hip bones was much more flattering, as well as simply more comfortable. I still wear hip-hugger pants & jeans...when I can find them.
You’re correct. Kate doesn’t even have an ‘ideal’ hour glass figure. Kate is also an inverted triangle but much more so than Meghan. Her shoulders are very broad but she has longer torso in comparison to her legs. Kates taller and also wears figure flattering clothing. If you look at pre duchess pics she too had some style mishaps. She tended to wear clothes that emphasized her broad shoulders and long torso which made her legs look shorter. Meghan has not learned. Her body type is more trunk like and if she only listened to stylist and chose more flattering clothes she too would look flawless. She needs to accept her body type. Instead she wears clothing meant for women with Marilyn Monroe and Katy Perry proportions and this is sloppy on her.
Beebs as a woman that is an inverted triangle with a rectangular, short torso, I struggle greatly with finding clothes that look well on my body. The problem is that a lot of the information I find seems to contradict itself. Sometimes I read that belting gives the illusion of a waist but I can totally see on Meghan that belting doesn’t work. Can you make a more comprehensive video on how to dress this particular body type with visual examples? You are the first person I’ve watched that seems to really understand what works for this particular body type. And if you decide to do this video can you make it more SAHM friendly? I wear more casual clothes on the daily but I’d like to look put together, slimmer, and more flattering even if I’m home caring for my littles.
💛💛💛 I will add it to the list!
Hi Beebs. Thanks again for an informative video.
A stylist helped my friend who has no waist and to give the illusion provided belts that drooped or had a vee shape, placing it on the hip bone rather than the waist. It elongated the torso but because it wasn’t straight across it didn’t accentuate her thickness. The vee, draped or u shaped belts also created an illusion of a waist but kept the eye moving so it was flattering. I have 2 friends that are straight without shape and they never wear belts or items that cut them in two like Meghan does. It’s strange because as an actress she had someone who chose clothes and a friend who was a stylist but despite spending a huge amount of money never learned anything from others.
Pregnancies!! 😂😂😂 She had “megnancies” 😊 I stole that from L C 😊
No. You are NOT wrong. She is tossing a belt around her waist which creates an optical LINE at an akward place on her body. The result is it negatively impacts PROPORTION and makes her look shorter and boxier. Great analysis!
Thank you for discussing this … you’ve explained it so well!
The belt below the waistline is better....hiphuggers.
I am thankful you are helping us, but we have to get off MM! Can’t stand her!
I think this is why she tends to look best in dresses that have a line/break/design that hits just above the hip
I feel like she would look best in dresses with a drop-waist. And, when it comes to belts, a belt worn across the hip could work…like what was big in the 60s.
Those belts in the middle of her short torso are sooooo wrong. Cuts her length in half.
Weird how she doesn’t see it.
5:10: Aha, we’re on the same page
princes kate is AMZING
She and Micheal Obumer trying to have a waist …she try’s to do everything Moocher does!..
It never ceases to amaze me that men don't worry about their belts. Have you SEEN Jerry Nadler?🤣🤣🤣
Great video as always! I'm really enjoying this video in particular because I'm of the wide shoulders clan I will accessorize a belt done well looks good on me I use the tricks you mentioned keep it up I love your channel...
She is a pretty woman, but everyone has a different body,I agree her choices are not always great fashion wise.Really good advice.
I am super short 4'11, so dressing is tricky in general. I, almost never, wear a belt they just don't work.
If the few episodes of suits I have seen , her wardrobe was extremely we put together. Without a professional calling the shots her style is all over the place
Edit “of”
I adore your curls, they look soft, bouncy and shiny. They're really catching the light today ❤. Now onto Megs, where do we even start😮💨
Thank you! 💛
I think her mother told her that to make your waist look smaller, you should belt it, and make sure there is something bulky in the middle to draw your eye inwards!
She didn't tell her that the belt needs to be in the right place, and not be tied like a child practicing survival knots
I thought the same thing myself because this is an extremely outdated technique.
You are right. Megha. Should lose the belts unless worn under a jacket. And the belt should be no wider than 1”. The thinner the better.
I have a short torso/ petite 5’1 and I’m super curvy 32 DDD with a well defined waist … I love belts but I can’t wear harsh contrast anywhere near that area
Asymmetry really helps me…
I would love to have access to a stylist to help with my body proportion challenges…. I am mind blown at rich women like Megan or even Salma Hayek who literally can hire anyone & still manage to mess up their proportions or fabrics… how is it possible to be that rich and not dress well
It’s just amazing how very seldom Meghan looks nice. How can she get it wrong so many times, I wonder?
NutMeg reminds me of the high-empire clothes some years back. But that style does nothing for fashion!!!
Good tips, Beebs!
Thank you for teaching us! Very helpful!❤
I love your comments . You explain so well all that doesn’t fit to us , simply , kindly how to enhance our body whatever our silhouette . Meghan has the opportunity to look like gorgeous but she chose :> But to be accepted as you are , Meghan , you just must be able to make everybody loves you because you are funny , pretty , kind , respectful benevolent… You are the best Beebs !
Thinking about an ironing board
Absolutely brilliant commentary! So practical and well explained! Thank you!❤
Great how to dress ideas!
She used wear super tight, high-waisted pencil skirts with a belt when she was on suits. Looked awful!
🤣🤣🤣how uncomfortable was it to say "rectangular" shape.
I am VERY short waisted (and short - 5’) …my ribs and hips are mere inches apart. I make most of my clothes and avoid belts. I would love to have MM’s long, thin legs.
So that is why belts at the waist never seem to work for me! 😅 My shoulders and hips are fairly balanced, and I do have a semi defined waist, though not that stunning hourglass waist. But I have a super short torso, and long legs.
I am tall and slim, so I always wondered why belts made me look so stocky. I guess the torso makes the difference here. Interestingly, I do like to tuck the front of the t-shirt, it seems to define the waist/hip area a bit better. Subscribed! 😊

Beebs, you are looking so pretty. You are looking well and rested and yes you’ve shed some weight, but your face looks so good. Only found you recently and can see you blossoming 🌸
Oh thank you! 💛
