I know that pretty much everybody is in agreement that if Mariah and her stylists picked out things that suit and fit her body right, she would look a million times better.

Well, I started watching Mad Men recently, and I can't but help being hypnotized and enchanted with Joan (Christina Hendricks). Every time she's on screen, I am so drawn to her. She's so strong, clever and sexy.

But I bring this up because she has a very similar silhouette to Mariah. A very curvy shape, almost like Marilyn. Big breasts (perhaps even bigger than Mariah's), wide hips and a big butt. And she always looks so damn amazing and classy. She exudes sexiness without showing too much skin or wearing clothes too tight for her.

I know this is an old and trivial topic, but everytime I see Joan, I can't help but picture what Mariah would look like if she wore something like that. I know it's not the 60's anymore, but a lot of those styles are classic and will always be fashionable. And these fashions are very much in style lately. Plus, we know how Mariah loves Marilyn, and this is very much in that era. What do ya'll think? Wouldn't Mariah look fabulous if she took some tips from Joan?

I think ya'll are misunderstanding me. That's what happens when you don't read further than the title.

I'm not saying I want her to wear those literal looks! I'm saying, these are the kinds of silhouettes and shapes she should be going for. Because I think this shows that you can have her kind of curvy body and still look sexy without wearing clothes that are too tight and too revealing.

She had some mild red hair going on, here but its kind of aging on MC.

She should get herself in on that dress designer Roland Mouret action, he makes some gorgeous styles of dresses not too disimilar to some which you posted, that look great on those hour glass shapes.

Thanks to sweet mariah for the image use.

yeah no those clothes aren't right for Mariah but I get what you mean. THey look beautiful on this character and Mariah needs something like this - just more modern.

Eeeeeewwwwwwww.....Sorry. But that would look HORRIBLE on MC.

Even the actress DOES NOT look good in these clothes.

It's all for love. L.O.V.E.

Why do I even bother with this stuff when people can't even read. People just missed the whole point.
It's not about the clothes, it's about the idea behind them. Showing off Mariah's curvy body in a classy, covered, yet sexy way that accentuates her hourglass figure. God, would it kill you to read?

Disappointed with you, Mama.
Whether this style would suit Mariah, I don't know, maybe not. That's not the point. But I don't see how you can be against her wearing more flattering clothes?!

As for the actress, I guess it's a matter of taste, but considering all men are drooling over her and the show is bringing back fashion trends says that most people would probably disagree with you.

Most men dont even know who that woman is. Plus Im willing to bet that the type of men Mariah likes and is married to is not checking for her.

Are you a man?
She was named the sexiest woman on television for a reason. And considering she's not a stick, I think that's a big deal in today's society. Just shows that if you embrace your body, instead of trying to fit into size 0, you will be so much better off.

Mariah doesn't have a body as good as the chick on mad men. she's not bootylicious enough. but she could look a helluva lot better.

There are plenty of men "checking" for her.

For sure. I'm not one to pick on Mariah for what she wears usually. I just think she can look so much better.
And you're right, Mariah is a bit more square and her waist isn't as small. But I think it would be a step in the right direction.

And, my point is, I do not find those outfits flattering at all, not even on that actress. I think the fit is rather fugly and does nothing for her or her body. Even if the style were updated, I'd still probably feel the same way.

And, those men drooling over her, are probably not the type of men I would be into.

I think fashion is a very subjective thing. And, I often disagree with a lot of what many would consider fashionable or appropriate for someone's body. So, in that respect, I wouldn't care if these people disagreed with me. I know what I like and don't like for my body, whether others like it or not, is not my issue---for the most part.

I'm not focused on fashion trends, I focus on what I feel most comfortable in. And, I think that's what most people should do.

And, I am in no way getting an attitude with you or saying you can't voice an opinion............we just disagree on this issue.

Wow @ you saying they're not flattering. I can't think of a better way to flatter a heavier-set woman. This is exactly the kind of style that Marilyn wore, and everybody knows that's the best way to accentuate an hourglass figure. Tell me, what better way would you dress somebody with those melons and a huge a**?

What you like or don't like for you body, is your own business. And that is subjective. As is style, to a certain degree. But there are certain things that are just more flattering to certain body types. And if you can't see that, don't quit your day job to become a fashion designer.

I never said to follow trends. But if everybody wore what they're most comfortable in, we'd all be wearing pyjamas and looking like sh*t.

Anyway, I just think it's ironic that a lot of fans here b*tch about Mariah's wardrobe, but have nothing better to suggest.

And as an aside, I just find this situation so empowering to women, and I assumed more ladies here would be glad to see this. Because there is finally a character on television that is plus size and is still considered a sex symbol. I can't think of anyone else recently in the same position. And it translates into real life and shows that you can be sexy at any size, as long as you're confident and know what to do with it.
Considering how much Mariah gets called fat and what not, I thought this tied in well. I just wonder where all those people are that said that she wouldn't be called fat if she wore more things more suited for her body size and shape.
