Holly Willoughby: I want to feel sexy like Marilyn Monroe

Xtra Factor presenter makes the most of her curves

Holly Willoughby knows what flatters her shape best

Curvy Holly Willoughby loves the old-fashioned glamour of Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe.

'That's what I aim to emulate because it makes me feel sexy,' she explains.

Now presenting The Xtra Factor on ITV2, Holly also admires super-slim Victoria Beckham's sense of style.

'People say she hasn't got much fashion sense but she's very glamourous and has some gorgeous dresses and bags. It's probably because the overall package is a little too polished thaat she attracts so much criticism.'

Holly, 27, believes confidence is the key to feeling good.

'True style is just wearing whatever the hell you want with the conviction to pull it off,' she tells Fabulous. 'Dresses suit me best because of my hourglass shape.

'I'm a 12 on the bottom and and 10 on the top so I have to think about my womanly curves when picking clothes.

'Skinny jeans and I are not good friends at all.'
