Cheryl Cole has accepted the fact she will never have a supermodel’s figure.
The Fight for This Love singer is regularly voted one of the world’s sexiest women but she says she will never be blessed with the figure and height of someone like Gisesle Bundchen.
She said: “We all want to look like Gisele and look good in those sparkly leggings and then we wear them and don’t look good in them because that’s Gisele’s shape. We have to accept – well I have to accept – that I’m never going to be 6ft 2in. When you do that and start to dress for yourself and wear what makes you feel good, then you start to feel comfortable. It’s important to figure that out.”
Cheryl, 28, recently said she learnt the “hard way” with her fashion choices and has now accepted what suits her and what doesn’t.
She said: “It’s hard to know how to dress sometimes. I learnt the hard way that, just because something looks nice on someone else, it doesn’t mean it’ll work for your height, size and figure. I tried and failed miserably in my teenage years, but now I know to take things as inspiration and adapt them to work for me.”

Nicole Scherzinger started counting calories when she was 14.
The X Factor judge says she was aware of her body shape from quite a young age and admits it started take over her life.
She told Shape magazine: “I started jogging and counting calories when I was just 14. I’ve been on every diet you can imagine. By the time I was in the Pussycat Dolls, I was on the scale all the time. It became my enemy because I noticed that when I exercised really hard, I’d gain weight.”
However, the 33-year-old beauty says she’s more relaxed with her diet and doesn’t deny herself anything.
She said: “Now that I’m in my 30s, I’ve stepped off the scale. I just go by how my clothes fit.
“I’m more accepting of my body and have learned to really embrace it. These days it’s all about finding balance. My new motto is: ‘Stay active, eat everything in moderation, and stop being so tough on myself.’ “

Miranda Kerr refuses to deny herself anything.
The Victoria’s Secret model says she has always eaten healthily as she knows it’s very important for her body, but at the same time will allow herself the occasional treat.
The Australian beauty – who has a 10-month-old son, Flynn, with husband Orlando Bloom – said: “My grandparents had a vegetable patch and taught me a lot about growing food and eating organically. I eat super-healthily, lots of vegetables and fish, but that’s not just because I’m a model. It’s to give my body the fuel it needs. And I don’t deny myself anything. Life is about balance, and you have to be able to have some treats now and again – it’s good for you.”
As well as eating healthily, Miranda says she maintain her stunning figure by exercising regularly.
She told Britain’s Hello! Magazine: “I do a lot of yoga, pilates and strength training all year round. I also have a trainer who makes me focus on the butt area, with squats and butt-lifts with leg weights.”

Kim Kardashian admits it’s “hard” work to maintain her stunning figure.
The 30-year-old socialite – who is famed for her womanly curves – says her love of food means she has to work out very regularly to stop her from gaining weight, which isn’t always easy.
She told Britain’s Hello! magazine: “I love to eat, but I also love to work out, so hopefully they cancel each other out. If I need to get in shape for a photo shoot or to get back into my bikini, I cut back on processed foods and carbs for two weeks.
“I have always been curvy and for a long time I’ve been doing a class in West Hollywood called Barry’s Bootcamp. But recently I started working out with Tracy Anderson. It looks really easy but is really hard work. After 12 weeks working out with her, I really saw a difference. But it’s hard because I really love food and have a really sweet tooth. My weakness is ice cream and frozen yoghurt.”
Kim also revealed how she isn’t a fan of Botox after once using the non-invasive fillers.
She said: “I’m totally not against plastic surgery. I tried Botox and wasn’t impressed. That’s the only thing I’ve had done. My eyes looked different, but it didn’t make me look any younger, so I’m going to stick to anti-wrinkle cream for now.”

Pamela Anderson is to release her own range of lingerie.
The former ‘Baywatch’ babe – who recently launched a collection of stockings – has signed a global licensing deal with Secrets in Lace to produce, market and distribute the line and ahs promised buyers won’t be disappointed.
The mother-of-two told WWD: “I am very pleased with the initial collection. I love every one of the styles because they cover every fashion occasion. I’ve always loved lingerie. I like to dress up. Fantasy is something I respond to. There’s a time and a place. Usually if I can’t find a place, it’s not worth my time.
“I have an incredibly diverse collection of lingerie. I actually have too much tucked away in storage. I haven’t bought lingerie in a long time – building my house took much longer than it should have. Now it’s done, it will be a wild playground soon enough, my lair, my boudoir. Anyone who enters – beware.”
Daniel Whitsett, president of Secrets in Lace, added: “We liked the idea that Pam is very into being a mom with two boys and very into being a woman. We’ve been very active and successful with retro looks. All of our 15-denier and 10-denier stockings are made with machinery from the 1950s, and the yarn is 100 percent nylon because Lycra can’t be used with these machines. We like to say ‘guaranteed to run’ because the deniers are so fine.”

Bar Refaeli says a “healthy lifestyle” is the secret to her amazing body.
The model is renowned for her stunning figure and while she is quite disciplined with her diet and exercise regime, she still knows how to have fun.
She said: “My secret is living a healthy lifestyle. It’s really important because looking glamorous and looking sexy comes also from the inside, so if you eat healthy, if you work out, if you keep in shape; also having a sense of humour about life, taking things easy – it’s a big part of the way you present yourself.”
Bar – who recently split from long-term boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio – also revealed how underwear is just as important as the clothes you wear over it.
The 25-year-old beauty – who is the face of Passionata lingerie – said: “It is important for me to feel glamorous when I’m wearing lingerie yet also playful – and Passionata has that combination of feeling like a sexy woman but not boring and not too provocative.
They have just the right balance between sexy and playful and that’s what I love. I am comfortable walking around all day in it and it feels like it’s a second skin.”

Gemma Arterton says it’s hard to find clothes that suit her curvy figure.
The stunning actress admits she sometimes struggles to find outfits that flatter her hourglass body and can’t just wear anything so often relies on Italian fashion house Gucci.
She said: “My shape means I can’t throw on an outfit. Gucci tends to design best for my hourglass figure.”
Gemma is also a fan of tailored jackets as they go with any outfit.
She told Britain’s Vogue magazine: “I wear my tailored jackets to death – Armani, Givenchy and Margiela.”
As well as wearing certain clothes, Gemma also sticks to the same perfume and make-up.
She said: “I do love a red lip – Nars Jungle Red is my favourite.
“My scents always have hints of Jasmine. Right now, it’s Balenciaga Paris – it’s floral, light and musky.”
Gemma has previously admitted she likes to keep her style simple.
She said: “For me it’s kind of simple really. I don’t really go for anything too embellished or fancy or frilly or girly and it has to be easy because I haven’t got time for anything that’s too difficult!
“I just like putting on a pair jeans and jacket and going, although I do like heels – I’ve got a passion for shoes, but I always end up wearing the one same pair of shoes. But it works with my lifestyle because I’m always running around so it doesn’t work for me to wear tight skirts and corsets, or whatever it is! Jeans are definitely the way forward.”

Jessica Biel credits martial arts with helping her maintain her stunning figure.
The beautiful actress is famed for her amazing body and she admits she works hard at it but has now found an exercise which makes her look and feel good.
She said: “I’m really into martial arts now – it’s the most amazing workout ever! And, since I’ve been working with a partner, I’ve learned some awesome self-defence moves and most importantly, how to redirect someone’s energy. It gives me a real sense of empowerment.”
Jessica is also a fan of yoga as it helps both her body and skin.
The 29-year-old beauty told LOOK magazine: “Yoga definitely helps me with my beauty routine – when I’m stressed, it starts to show in my skin. Anything I can do to relax my mind will give me better body and skin.”
Her other tip to looking good, is getting plenty of sleep and drinking lots of water, saying: “I don’t always have perfect skin, and I’m sure most women feel that way. I think healthy skin comes as much from within as from the outside, so a healthy lifestyle is important, drinking plenty of water and getting lots of sleep are essential. Plus I incorporate omega 3 into my diet and lots of coconut oil and coconut butter.”

Megan Fox believes treating herself on the weekend is the secret to her stunning figure.
The beautiful actress – who is often voted one of the world’s most sexiest women – recently gained 4lbs and sources say she’s happier than ever because she’s got some of her curves back.
One told Now magazine: “Megan’s relaxed her strict diet and has been treating herself at the weekends. On weekdays she sticks to protein with salad and veg.”
As well as following a healthy diet, Megan also works out with husband Brian Austin Greene.
The source added: “He’s always worked out – and he got Meg into it. She does cardio and weights twice weekly but focuses on yoga and Pilates, which she loves.”
While Megan, 25, is happy with her body, she has previously admitted she hates showing it off by wearing attention-seeking clothes
She said: “If you wear anything interesting, you become instantly noticeable. I have this gorgeous Dolce and Gabbana white trench coat for winter, but I can’t wear it without drawing attention to myself. And I try to hide. I want to be unseen.”

Jennifer Aniston stays slim by avoiding junk food.
The ‘Horrible Bosses’ star insists she doesn’t stick to a strict diet to maintain her stunning figure and just limits her intake of fatty meals.
She said: “I’ve never been a fanatic when it comes to what I eat. I’ve always discovered that I can stay fit by avoiding junk foods and eating healthily, while running or exercising regularly. I don’t have any formula.”
The 42-year-old actress’ favourite exercise is yoga and she works out every day because she feels more energetic after working out.
She revealed to new! magazine: “I love to do yoga. I have more energy if I can do workout for 20 minutes every day. If I exercise enough I can eat what I want and not worry about my weight or how I look.
If I put on a few pounds, I just eat more fish and salads for a week and exercise four or five times a week as opposed to two or three times.
The important thing is to stick to a healthy routine. I feel better after a good workout and it gives you more energy for the entire day. I try not to worry or stress about things anymore ¬ I just like to get on with my life.”

Angelina Jolie rarely brushes her hair.
The ‘Kung Fu Panda 2′ actress – who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt – is regarded as one of the most beautiful women in the world, but insists she keeps her efforts to look good to a minimum.
She said: “I my life, I hardly brush my hair very often.
“I try to be as low-maintenance as possible because of my kids, so I can just get up and get ready and do things and not take too much time.”
In keeping her with her no-fuss beauty regime, it was previously claimed that Angelina keeps her lips in good condition by using Shea Terra’s Menthe Orange Organic Shea Lip Butter, which costs just $4.
The lip balm boasts a variety of unusual products including raw golden beeswax from Uganda, virgin coconut cream oil, African potato, Namibian tsamma melon seed oil, rooibos, chamomile flowers and wild Namibian plum oil.
A source previously said: “Angelina stockpiles the lip butter to preserve her to-die-for pout. She likes it because it also helps to freshen your breath and Angelina hates chewing gum.”

Cameron Diaz has started eating healthily because she no longer felt “fine”.
The 38-year-old actress has made no secret of her love of calorific treats but realised not long ago they were not making her feel as good as she should with such an active lifestyle.
She said: “I’ve always worked out, but I woke up one day and realised that, while I looked fine, eating the way I was didn’t make me feel fine. So, you know, I just stopped eating it.”
Cameron recently admitted she has adjusted to her new eating habits well and is pleased with her new lifestyle.
She said: “I love it. I have never, ever watched what I eat in my life but I do now. I’m off the fried foods. I’m very thoughtful about what I eat. If you’re gonna do heavy lifting and you want to stay small you have to watch what you eat. You have to give your body the right nutrients and really think about what’s best for it.”

Heidi Klum has shared her exercise diary with readers of her self-titled website to encourage them to get in shape.
The German supermodel – who raises four children with husband Seal – announced plans earlier this year for her own site to give women advice on fashion, beauty, parenting, love and relationships and while she has assembled a team of experts, she is also using her own experiences to help her fans get fit.
She said: “So let’s really do this thing! I know it can be intimidating, and it may be easier to just say, ‘Eh, maybe tomorrow’. Trust me, I get it. I know what it’s like to juggle a lot of things: family, friends, work. We are all busy and sometimes exercise gets left behind. At the same time, I’m 37 years old and I definitely want to be fit and healthy. I want to look and feel good, and I’m betting all of you do, too.”
Heidi is also planning a style section on the site entitled Look of the Day.
The online venture is the latest in a long list of projects Heidi has been working on including her TV show project runway, launching her own perfume and focusing on her maternity and fashion lines.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley doesn’t always feel comfortable with her body.
The Victoria’s Secret model – who was recently named sexiest woman by Maxim and FHM magazines – has admitted she has “bad” days, where she doesn’t feel “radiant” enough.
When asked if she’s comfortable with her body, she explained to Complex magazine: “Well, it’s a day-to-day thing. I don’t feel comfortable in my body today at all.
“Any woman will tell you she has her good and bad days, and today I did not feel like I looked my best or felt radiant inside or outside.”
Although the British beauty – who is dating action movie hero Jason Stratham – has a perfectly toned physique, she has admitted in the past that she feels the need to boost her shape by putting chicken fillets in her bra.
The ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ star said: “I’m not a fan of that whole push-up look in the day, but, of course, you do need a lift with a sexy dress.
“Do what you’ve got to do girls – shove them in there. I’ve been known to have three in at a time for shoots – plus padding.”

Karl Lagerfeld likes Kate Middleton’s nose.
The Chanel designer says he is looking forward to watching the brunette beauty marry Prince William on April 29 and thinks she will make a beautiful bride because of her stunning figure and good looks.
He said: “She is a lovely person with a beautiful body. I like her nose.
“I will be commenting on French TV. Royalty is good for the crowd.”
However, the Chanel maestro isn’t too enthused with the idea of marriage in general, believing that people live for too long to be able to spend their entire lives with just one other person.
He told The Sunday Times Style magazine: “Marriage was invented when people died at 30. Now they marry at 30 and they have to do it for 60 years.
“Perhaps it should be based on more than sex. The idea that you will never look at anyone else, that is a problem.”
Yet Karl’s aversion to lifelong commitment hasn’t deterred him from agreeing to create Lily Allen’s wedding dress when she ties the knot with Sam Cooper on June 11.
The British singer was recently spotted visiting the Chanel studios and when asked what she was doing there, replied: “I’m here to see Karl for my wedding dress.”
