Curvaceous: ten women with the silhouette the glossies never stopped loving

Magazine trends come and go by the season. The classic curved silhouette is the one look that has never needed a comeback, and ten women in the issue carry it. Heights run from 160 to 175 cm, and every shade in the line-up is represented: golden blonde, brunette, jet and copper.

A silhouette describes a line, not a whole person, so most of this page is about what matters more: how each of the ten likes to spend an evening, and the particular warmth the archetype seems to share.

Part one

The hosts

Bianka, 165 cm with hazel eyes and summer-lightened ends, notices how you take your coffee and always asks the sommelier for his personal pick. Rosa, 160 cm and curly haired, arrives with a faint scent of cinnamon and loosens the stiffest dinner simply by being relaxed. Michelle, 173 cm and dressed in shades of blush, will have a plate of something arriving before you admit you missed lunch. Thea, caramel blonde at 165 cm, makes a hushed Japanese counter feel like a friend's kitchen table.

Part two

The showstoppers

Milena, 175 cm and jet haired, dresses for impact: black satin, a high-shine trench and gold hoops you can spot across the room. Luna, 171 cm with dark auburn hair, favours a tailored scarlet suit and holds decided views on Burgundy. Danielle, 170 cm, in a close black dress and a red lip, is the calm point of any busy room, and people notice.

Part three

The live wires

Molly, 164 cm with big dark waves, warms up around ten and knows which house DJ is worth the late night. Roxi, jet haired and 168 cm, is at the boxing gym before breakfast and laughing through dinner at Gymkhana by nine. Nancy, golden blonde at 170 cm and in her early thirties, is the friend who turns a delayed flight into a story worth telling.

Part four

Evenings the archetype was made for

Warmth needs a little time to show, so this archetype suits the unhurried formats best: a lunch that drifts into early evening, a tasting menu with a wine for every course, afternoon tea at The Dorchester on a wet Sunday, a long dinner near Grosvenor Square with nowhere to be afterwards. Any of the ten would rather have one generous evening than three rushed ones.

Part five

How we write about figure

A word on tone, because this archetype attracts the laziest copy on the internet. We describe a silhouette the way a good stylist would, by what flatters it: a wrap dress, a belted waist, a tailored jacket with some structure. Then we stop. The women on this page approved how they are described and can change it whenever they wish.

Part six

Crossing into other archetypes

Nancy and Thea are two of the blondes, Luna brings the copper of auburn and red, and Danielle, Milena and Roxi appear with the raven haired. Michelle and Milena also stand among the statuesque, and Rosa is petite.

Booking from this page

The hosts in particular shine given time, which makes the double issue, a whole weekend with the same companion, priced as one sum before you commit, a lovely fit. Shorter evenings open at £400 for the hour, with each step between on the rates page. Whatever the length, she collects her fee herself when you meet.
