Woman In Full: Keely Shaye Smith

Every so often were going to focus in on beautiful woman in the public eye who isn't the cookie cutter Hollywood size 0 but is gorgeous, intelligent and doing her thing. Today were going to look at Keely Shaye Smith, the beautiful wife of actor Pierce Brosnan. Keely was featured this year as part of Vogue's "Shape Issue." In spite of the fact that Vogue is the worlds premiere fashion magazine its "Shape Issue" is usually a complete waste of paper. It should, in honesty be called "Issues with Shape."

That said, every once and awhile Vogue showcases an individual who is stylish, unique and outside the realm of their usual comfort zone. This year that person was Keely.



What I like about Keely's style is that its very classic. She has a look and she sticks to it, there's something very regal about the clothes she picks. There is a clear old-Hollywood influence. She reminds me of the golden age pinups like Rita Hayworth and Jane Russell. She is always dressed to the nines and favors classic labels like Valentino and De La Renta who focus on cut and shape as opposed to the latest trends. Add to this the fact that she knows how to accentuate the positive and isn't afraid of a daring neckline either.

Keely's Tips:

• "I never hide in baggy clothing."
• Sometimes it seems like bras are made to thrust your breasts outward. Its too much in your face, and a camisole helps tone it down a bit."
• "Fit is key, and oftentimes all it takes is a simple remedy to get it right. For example, if a jacket is pulling in the bust, I might just move the button an inch."
• "You don't have to look a mess just because you're at the beach. A pair of Jackie O. sunglasses and a ponytail will always look beautiful."
• "You can't have too many strands of pearls."
• "I probably have more handbags than I can admit."

Even Kaiser himself has nothing but love for Keely and he hates everyone.



Can we please talk about the look on Karl's face in that picture.

Apropos of nothing while typing up this post I couldn't help but think of how cool it would be for James Bond to have a love interest with some curvature. Eva Green is pretty but she's quite the waif. Then again I don't know if Daniel Craig could handle it :)
