The American actress Sigourney Weaver, 66, is at 1.82m (6’ 1”) claimed to be the tallest actress in the world.
However, according to IMDB the “bible” of the film industry she is “only” 5’ 11, making her shorter than Brooke Shields, Gina Davis and Alison Janney among others.
Whatever her exact height, the star of Alien, Working Girl and Ghostbusters and now also a film producer, is quite tall. The native New Yorker made her film debut as a minor character in Woody Allen’s seminal movie, Annie Hall, before coming to prominence in 1979 in the lead role in Alien.
At SoSensational, we love the great colours of these two outfits but our approval stops there – at least it stops there for the two outfits: the red knee-length dress is okay – it’s not “wow”. And at SoSensational, we believe that with her height, her great figure and her dramatic colouring, Sigourney Weaver should look “wow,” even at – especially at – 66.
The long orchid-pink evening outfit perfectly demonstrate how the wrong outfit can make even the most glamorous and striking woman look unglamorous. Ms Weaver, have a look at our Tall Style Tips right now. You will discover that a key piece of advice is to avoid wearing a plain colour from neckline to hemline. And if you do – break it up with belts, jewellery, scarves and a cross-body bag – anything to counter the lengthy expanse of fabric from neck to floor. And, we hate to break it to you, Sigourney, but that little brooch doesn’t cut it.
So, when we say Steal Her Style, what we mean is borrow some of her style, but do it better.
With the short red dress, we would suggest adding a statement necklace and a bangle or a bracelet. She is wearing ankle strap shoes which with her long, slim legs she can and, indeed, should…
As for the long pink evening gown, we wouldn’t advise a very tall woman to wear that dress. We concede that it does make the wearer look very slender (which could be the aim here though we can’t see why, as Ms Weaver appears to actually be very slim, toned and well proportioned). But with her height the dress definitely needed (and would need, if we were stealing her style) some serious accessorising….
What do you think about how we have developed Sigourney’s style?
