"In Beyoncé, we have a full-figured woman, a style maven. She cares about her clothes, and her overall look, and she has a gorgeous skin tone. She does what she does with great confidence, which is a factor with all of these women, but especially so with Beyoncé. We may not always like how the singer/actress appears on the red carpet; but she does get it right. Beyoncé is sexy, but not even remotely vulgar. There is something to be learned from her. She knows how to dress her figure, and helps celebrate the full-figured woman."

Are you a curvy queen like Beyoncé? Opt for fabrics that have a little give, like 2 percent lycra in jeans or knit skirts that allow your body to breathe. Accessorize with the confidence and class.
