I have to correct myself. An Italy Size 38 is a Size 0 in the USA.
Exactly! I do think she is a Size 0 though with her measurements.
I also saw people say she has an hourglass figure, and I was like, What, how?? I don’t even wanna begin counting down all the people that could be considered hourglasses if she was considered to be one.
She is clearly a column figure. She is rail thin, struggling to gain weight as she once said in an interview. She is very narrow in shoulders and hips, flat-chested and has a boyishly tapered waist.
You’re right. Lily Collins is decidedly not an hourglass. She isn’t a curvy type like AT ALL. She is very straight up and down and rail thin. So Lily Collins definitely has a Rectangle shape. There’s simply no arguing about this.
I know that not every Rectangle will be as straight (and definitely not as tiny) as Lily Collins. But Lily Collins is the most typical textbook Rectangle that you can think of.
Exactly! I don’t know why so many people seem to believe that she could have a US Size 6 or 4. I think some of the confusion might stem from the fact that she probably wears a Versace Size 38 (Italian size). However, some European countries have their own sizing system next to the general European sizing system (like France, UK or Italy as mentioned earlier). A size 38 in “general” European sizing would be the equivalent to a US Size 6. An Italian size 38 would be a 34 which is an XS! Though I think she might even have smaller size than that sometimes. Sizing can be really weird, differing from brand to brand, but looking at her measurements she really does give off the Size 0 vibe!
The weight, height and measurements listed would not be a size 6 US. She is TINY! She is between a 4 and 6 UK which would be a size 2 US at the most.
