I feel like I could look great in some Dramatic-Natural-Gamine but also in some from Ethereal-Natural-Gamine. In both of these two styles I also see clothes that would make me feel rather uncomfortable.
Could you give me a hint, so I could distinguish between these two?

This style identity calculator was so incredibly helpful for me! I found out Im a Romantic Ingenue and it answered so many questions I had about why I looked young but still mature/feminine at the same time! Thank you so much! (It thrills me that Marilyn Monroe is in the same category) but I'm still confused about my season. My coloring is extremely close to Hayley Atwell's and I really can't tell if she's a Deep Winter or an Autumn (like myself)-- what do you think?

Sometimes I try to decode celebrities for fun. According to me many of them are being put in wrong categories by "experts". One example: Britney Spears. You always find her in the category of soft natural, but I would say she is a natural ingenue. Possibly a natural-ingenue-gamine. She has yin, but she is kind of girly not sexy in the romantic way. She is also youthful. Another example is Salma Hayek. You always find her in the romantic category, but I am not so pleased with that. She is absolutly romantic, but I wonder if she is a full romantic. Her body is curvy and she has yin features, but her face shape is rather angular. I think there is some yang to her as well. I have wondered if she could be a tr or a soft dramatic but somhow that doesn't fit either. What do you think? Ideas anyone? Rachel?

I'm not Rachel, but as far as I know, those "yin" and "yang" things, as well as "soft" are from Kibbe's categories, whose system this site doesn't use ;)

And to the other Rachel above, I totally get what you mean, I'm myself a Romantic-Ethereal-Ingenue, and like you, I also look young but still feminine at the same time :)

Hi Christina, I'm Rachel but not THE Rachel.

Oh man, I know what you mean about decoding celebrities. I've been really obsessed with these style guides and my boyfriend mistakenly asked me about them-- final result is I taught him everything I knew over a couple hours and now we can play "What's Their Style Identity" at all times! I'm not as familiar with Kibbe's guide as I felt like Truth is Beauty really nailed the different styles, so I'd guess soft natural is a natural romantic? Yeah, Britney Spears doesn't exude that overwhelming sex appeal that Romantic types do but she does have Yin in a girly way for sure!-- I'd honestly peg her as a Natural Classic Ingenue because her face has that relaxed but symmetrical girly look. Her body, as well, is not overly curvy or cute like a Romantic/Gamine, it is very Classically symmetrical but with that slightly boxy look that Naturals have (with slight feminine curves like an Ingenue). Kibbe doesn't have the Ingenue style so that could explain why she's pegged as a Soft Natural :/

As for Salma Hayek I think you're spot on about the Dramatic Romantic face thing she's got going on. It's very blunt and has strong features while still having the sex appeal of a Romantic. Maybe she's just one of those cases where her body is a straight romantic body but her face is a Dramatic Romantic?

Hi, Rachel!
Yes, you are right a soft natural is a natural romantic. Really interesting that you think Britney Spears could be a natural classic ingenue! I 've never seen anything classic in her, but I'm no expert. Maybe she is symmetrical, but does she really have that mature sophistication of a classic? Well, at least we agree on her being a natural ingenue. Kibbe is not the only one who has pegged Britney as a soft natural by the way. Rachel too has pegged her as a natural romantic.
I don't know if Salma is a romantic dramatic. Somehow I don't think she looks like the other romantic dramatics in that category. Do you think she has anything in common with Sophia Loren or Sofia Vergara for instance?

Rachel

I guess I'm going by Rachel's websites definition of Classic where she says their faces are symmetrical but not a lot stands out-- a perfect yet forgettable face. The only largely distinguishing trait I see on Britney Spears are her droopy eyes but those could easily be a natural trait. And there's an overall girlish femininity that definitely suggests Ingenue when I was looking at her with your suggestion in mind! :)
As for Salma Hayek... Sophia Loren and Sofia Vergara both have a very angular Dramatic quality, I feel like Salma Hayek doesn't look similar to them because she has a blunt Dramatic quality? They both still channel that masculine aura but in a different way. If Salma Hayek reminds me of anybody, it's the burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese who I've seen categorized as a Dramatic Romantic. I can definitely see the non-similarity between Salma and Sofia/Sophia! What do you think about Dita Von Teese and Salma being maybe a different branch of Dramatic, Christina?
Also, since we're speculating about celebrities here, what would you guess Hayley Atwell is coloring-wise? I think she's a Deep Winter but I'm not sure, she could be a Dark Autumn. (I'm also guessing she's a three-way Romantic-Natural-Ingenue but I really don't know, what do you think? (I love this discussion!))

Hi Rachel, I love this discussion too! But Salma doesn't at all remind me of Dita von Teese. Using the Kibbe system Dita probably is a TR and using the Rachel system she is probably a Dramatic Ingenue.
I've been doing some rethinking about Salma. We have been assuming that her yang influence is dramatic, but what if it is natural? Maybe she is a Natural Romantic? Or a Natural-Romantic- Ingenue? I checked out the outfits Rachel recommends for the nri categori and it wasn't bad at all. What do you think?

Rachel, you asked me about Atwells style category and her season. Honestly, she is totally unknown to me! But now I have looked at some pics of her and I will give you my first impressions. Category: I'm thinking Natural-Romantic- Ingenue.
Color-wise I don't think she is dark enough or deep enough to be a Deep Winter. Besides that I think she has a warm undertone of her skin so she can't be a Winter. She could be a Deep Autumn or any other Autumn, but Im not sure. It's really difficult to analyze celebrities because they always wear a lot of make-up in every picture and they always dye their hair. But we don't have to analyze Atwell in order for you to find your own true colors. Maybe she is an Autumn. Maybe you are something else. So let us analyze you! Did you know that there are some new muted seasons ? Check this out! http://www.prettyyourworld.com/the-colorbreeze-seasons.html Maybe that link will help you find your season. It was useful to me anyway. I already knew I was a Soft Autumn, but I didn't know which one. Now I know I am a Smokey Soft Autumn.
My advice to you is: don't rule any season out. Keep an open mind!

Christina, just to let you know, this site uses a totally different system than that in prettyyourworld (plus that "color breeze" system has *way* too much categories and they're not clear-cut at all, very confusing!)
Please scroll to the "color analysis" part of this site and see the categories (seasons) used here, which align with Sci/Art (and 12blueprints), the gold standard of color analysis, I'd say! I'm just saying it can get really confusing for other users of this site if people start mixing other seasonal systems with their wholly different categories here ;)

Melina, I quote Rachel: "Lora Alexander’s site, Pretty Your World, is incredibly fun and informative. While you’re at it, check out her wonderful blog.": http://www.truth-is-beauty.com/references.html

I'm wondering how much importance to place on colour in the calculator. If I treat it as more important, I get Dramatic-Romantic-Ingenue, if I treat it as less important, I get Romantic-Ethereal-Ingenue! I'm a True Winter.
