In fact, she's quite fetching! With all the backlash against super skinny models and the new model regulations in Spain and Milan, I think a revolution is under way. An appreciation for a woman's natural curves is surfacing within fashion. What ever happened to the days of curvy screen sirens like Sophia Loren and Bridgette Bardot? I know times change, but these ladies were wonderfully womanly.
Life & Style did a recent story and glammed up curvy Ugly Betty star America Ferrera. We all can achieve her classic, Marilyn Monroe look with a shoulder-baring sweater, cinched belt and full skirt. I love this default look so much I put my own outfit together for Betty, er, America. Bombshells away!

I think America Fererra is absolutely gorgeous!
1I really like this post and see she is absolutely stunning. I especially like Fab promoting more retro styles. Keep it coming! I just love it.
2I love not only seeing retro styles but women with healthy curves and different ethnicities. Please keep showing that fashion is multi-cultural and multi-dimensional!!

She looks awesome! Especially compared to girls like Nicole Richie or Mary-Kate Olsen! And this is a look that looks good on everyone, no matter what size you are. The watch in this post is also gorgeous.
4I've always thought she was incredibly beautiful. They do quite a good job making her appear "average" in Ugly Betty, because she's quite stunning.
5This might be my most favorite post yet! YAY! Seriously...skinny...I'm over it. Bring curves back! Curves are sexy, and womanly...skinny is what a french fry is supposed to look like, not a human. lol
6She looks like that girl in Sisterhood of the traveling pants...is she??
7Yeah, she's the girl from the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
8this girl is GORGEOUS!
9to be honest, i never watch the show, but i think she's very pretty.
it kinda bugs me that they give a pretty girl braces and glass and suddenly she's "ugly". yech

11I loved her on Sisterhood of the travelling pants! Although she's the curviest of the four girls there, she's also the prettiest! She has a gorgeous face.
12ahhh, thanks guys..anyone who hasnt seen that movie i strongly suggest it!
13What a great role model she is for young women.
14I first saw America Ferrara in a movie called "Real Women Have Curves" which is a GREAT movie- inspirational and good for a younger audience.
From IMDB: Real Women Have Curves (2002)
This is the story of Ana, a first generation Mexican-American teenager on the verge of becoming a woman. She lives in the predominately Latino community of East Los Angeles. Freshly graduated from high school, Ana receives a full scholarship to Columbia University. Her very traditional, old-world parents feel that now is the time for Ana to help provide for the family, not the time for college. Torn between her mainstream ambitions and her cultural heritage she agrees to work with her mother at her sister's downtown LA sewing factory. Over the summer she learns to admire the hardworking team of women who teach her solidarity and teamwork. Still at odds with what her mother expects of her, Ana realizes that leaving home to continue her education is essential to finding her place proudly in the world as an American and Chicana.

15That sounds like a great film! She really seems like the perfect rolemodel for younger girls today.
16I think she is gorgeous...I have always thought she was pretty, even back in those "Sisterhood" days.
17Oh she is really pretty!
only 10 days to go
18I just love that show. I wonder if Betty will ever get a makeover on the show, though? I kinda hope not.
19WOW. She's hawt.
20she's gorgeous! and i love her role in ugly betty. definitely one of my favorites
21I love her!
22I ssaw this cover in the store earlier and my friend and I were thinking it was Mandy Moore! We coulcn't believe it was Ugly Betty!
23she looks pretty!
24I can't wait for this show to start in my country! Only in september though
25And I LOVE that cute leopard print box with the pink pillow- it's cuter than the watch in it!
26she looks fantastic!!! and i love her. she is my new fave
27She looks gorgeous. Period. You don't need to knock the skeleton patrol or compare. Her body is also average in the real world...actually she's a dress size smaller than the US average. She is the norm. Just a bit of a reality check.
t0xxic is pregnant? Is it K Feds?
28lets just hope she doesn't decide she needs to slim down now that shes made it big. us curvy girls need someone to let them know its OKAY to have junk in the trunk and not be skelatal...a la nichole
29she's so beautiful! i read sumwhere that it took em 40 minutes to make her "ugly" on the "ugly betty" set..
30America is gorgeous, they do a really good job of making her "ugly" for the show. I also like that she has curves.
31wow...the ugly character doesn't even look like her!
