Curvy Figures Flattered by Victoria Beckham Collection

Despite her paper-thin figure, Victoria Beckham knows how to flatter the figures of curvier women. A piece from her Fall 2010 collection was chosen by Oprah herself to wear at the Maria Shriver Conference and she was stunning with a Victoria dress highlighting the cleavage and minimizing the waist.

According to Lifestyle MSN:

The one and only Oprah Winfrey (a master of dressing her bod to maximum figure flattery) chose a frock from Victoria's fall 2010 collection for a recent appearance at the Maria Shriver Women's Conference, and she looked as perfectly polished as always. The secret? The dress drew attention to the right places (that enviable cleavage and slim waist) and away from the wrong ones (the broadest section of her hips were quite literally hidden away under a swath of fabric).

Oprah's not the first curvy celeb to embrace Victoria's designs, either. We've seen both Jennifer Hudson and Ugly Betty star America Ferrera in the same black peplum cocktail dress.

The Mayor of Castellamare di Stabia in Italy is thinking of banning football games in parks, verbal blasphemy and miniskirts in his  town. The Council will decide on these matters on November 1, 2010.


According to the Christian Science Monitor:

Conservative Mayor Luigi Bobbio said that miniskirts and other provocative outfits will still be allowed as long as they are not too revealing.

"It's a matter of common sense, of common decency," he said.

A group of local female politicians is planning a protest in front of the town's city hall during Monday's vote. They have invited attendees to wear miniskirts.
