I would've guessed dramatic classic.
Sarah Akin me too
Same
She is some kind of classic. You can tell in the bikini photo. She has a moderate vertical line, not short. The T-shirt and pants photo makes her look short because she's wearing floods and the shirt stops below her waist. This creates a shortened leg look. Looking at her arms, legs, AND head size, she is very even. Her facial features are also moderate. She just dresses gamine. Also her lips are moderate to thin, not full. It's pretty clear she overlined them to make them appear fuller. Her face is pretty balanced, but she did gamine makeup. This is why Merriam has asked to see photos with minimal makeup, so the true proportions of our faces are not skewed.
Yeah.
@@lindenpeters2601 maybe my lips are moderate, but I don't overline. I only use a lipstick and only go a little above the lip on the upper lip.
Thank you all for the kind comments and thank you so sooo much Merriam for the accurate analysis in your video! I must have body dysmorphia or something, because at first I thought I was a Theatrical Romantic, but I was confused, because many things didn't add up. It seems that instinctively I was doing things correctly (some of the pictures are 4,5,7 years old). Anyway, it feels great to belong to the ever-original, crazy, avant-garde FG club!
Btw, the pink furry thing is a scarf :)
SuseKuss thanks for modelling for us; I learnt a lot from your style pics. Glad you are enjoying your Kibbe type! Your bangs look so now and amazing - the gamine family really do seem to have a special affinity for the latest fashions, effortlessly owning the trends. Go FG!
Beautiful.. You look like the girl from the show " Last man standing" She's Mandy on the series. The 1st Mandy she was replaced with another actress. Idk if you seen the show but if you Google it you will know exactly who she is.💛
You look amazing in those FG outfits! I'm a gamine and you inspired me :D Thank you for modelling.
Thank you so much for the photos, and I completely agree--we do have an intuition about our own lines somehow! Happy that *you're* happy with FG!!!
*and* it's nice to know that the pink furry thing is a scarf thank you, I was so curious for some reason!!
she doesnt look short to me :(
Saadet ÖZTÜRK I agree I think she looks tall
Exactly what I thought. She looks moderately tall to me, maybe 5'6"
I thought she looked tall, too
Her vertical appearance is kind of "mixed", long arms and moderate or shortish legs. Also you can measure with how many heads fits in the length of the body.
yes she looks pretty tall to me too
i liked her in classic outfits more
Would love to see an athlete’s body type, like Serena Williams. Thank you for your videos!
Yasss
A natural all the way
I am really curious to know how tall she is, because to me she does not look short at all! I think she looks rather tall and thin. My favourite outfits on her are the all white outfit, the black skirt/tights & orange top @13.03min, and the skinny black jeans & red top at 14.03min. I like her edgy style, and I think she would look greatest in clothes that accentuated her thin and long stature, like long skinny jeans/pants with patterns (faux snake skin, striped, checkered, etc). I think thats why she looks good in the mono-crome outfits (all blue, all purple) because it adds the length that her long and thin body portrays. Personally, I think her body shines in the clothes that draw on her length (the longer black skirt paired with black tights @12:44m), rather than the shorter skirt that cuts off her legs/length (black & red flowered skirt @1:33m). I think a really cool outfit for you would be black and white striped skinny jeans/pants (thicker vertical stripes) paired with your orange blouse loosely tucked into the waist (the blouse thats shown @13.03min)!
I stopped the video and I guessed her as a dramatic classic because she is very symmetrical she also has a badass look to her so Dramatic classic.
What great pictures that show how the model really "looked like herself" when she dressed in flamboyant styles. Amazing! Thank you both for bringing this example to us.
At first, her body suggests maybe classic? But her face is more mixed. Flamboyant gamine? Dramatic classic?
I am mind blown at how beautiful all of her looks are. I am so clueless with fashion 😭
I was thinking Dramatic Classic 😃
She has incredible fashion sense.She can really put an outfit together!
Chris Dentp my jaw dropped
You're not typed by your face tho. Selena Gomez is a prime example. She has a SG face, but her body, i.e. her lines, is a Natural type. She is a SN.
Thank you to the brave beauty who offered up her photos for us all to scrutinise! You look amazing in all your photos, and you look as though you already have your own personal style down perfectly.
I would guess dramatic classic? She looks good in classic lines and seems pretty balanced.
EDIT: Oh, now I see what you mean! :)
I felt the same way until we looked more in depth
Thanks for sharing your photos, Ms Flamboyant Gamine! Thanks Miriam, this was really fun
I think she's a tricky one... because...
- Her body doesn't look short and boyish like FGs (and Gs) silhouette usually does.
- Her body is yes, somewhat angular (mostly the shoulders though) but it is also somewhat long and feminine which contradicts FG.
Audrey Hepburn a FG, had a similiar(ish) body: a long torso and a waspish waist - but she also had more narrow shoulders and bigger head AND squarish hips and coltish/long legs. Typical gamine shape. The model here is less severe. Less leggish, less angular.
Maybe it's just me but I think the FG lines kind of swallow her up. (The high waists look great tho, in comparison to the dropped ones.) But it looks like she's someone TRYING to be a FG. The colour- blocked boxy lines and animated prints look too severe on her feminine body. Maybe she might be a soft gamine? Emilia Clarke (SG) has a bit similiar shape (long torso). Though Emilia's head also looks proportionately bigger than what this lovely model has.
Also, maybe if she went more towards a "Zooey Deschanel style"? (I saw someone naming Zooey a FG/SG.) Because the A-line floral dress and bangs do flatter her. The Kelly Osbourne kind of crazy punk rock FG look... just kind of looks too much on her.
Just speculating. I do enjoy your videos Merriam. I think you often get things 100% right. But this is what I thought!
Edit: Also, the orange relaxed blouson looks awesome on her. I think even some natural lines would look good on her.
I was thinking the same thing. She looks great, but the boldest gamine outfits and the jet black hair are a little harsh on her.
Ya, I also don’t think she is a gamine, the gamine outfits seem to overpower her and as she was trying to hard to look like a gamine. I thought she looked good in classic outfits :) and it would be worth it to explore the classic styles more 🤔
Her pictures are absolutely stunning their beautiful pictures
She looks amazing in these latter outfits, particularly in red.
That was really helpful. I love the bangs on her, that red outfit with the cinched waist and the complementary colored outfits are also amazing. I think, flamboyant gamine is one of my favorite types in terms of style variation possibilities. They can look edgy easily without it being too much for them. I just like the vibe I get from them. But this video also gave me a sense for why some people might think differently. Eg those classy looks. If someone really loves classic looks, they might have thought, those were her perfect lines. I can imagine my mom would definitely tell her to stick to monochromatic looks with an elongated line because she hates staccato outfit combinations in general. I love staccato looks and a mix of different textures and complementary, dynamic color combinations. When I try to wear it - as being a soft natural, how you kindly told me - I try too stick to softer colors, more muted, more flowy but still not monochromatic. I think it's really interesting how each body type can play with style. I also love dramatic lines, but I look really off in those, so I try to avoid them. I truly believe that when we understand our lines and really understand the lines of clothes, it's becoming effortless to pick clothes that just look amazing on us. Same goes with colors. Maybe even for someone who doesn't know much or even anything about color analysis for people, when they understand color in general, they might automatically pick colors that work for them. I never liked yellow or pure orange on myself, even as a child I felt very overpowered by those colors. And one think about the interview you meantioned: When I read about your passion for drawing and painting and how that ties in with everything, that really lit a candle for me. I also draw and paint since I was a child, I also love everything about color, picking a nice hairstyle, a certain haircolor, choosing shades for makeup, playing with color in general. But also videography and photography, sewing, interior design etc. Some people don't see how this is just a whole picture and not shattered interest. They tend to think, I don't know what I want. Also I truly believe we don't have to stick to one field and dismiss everything else that tickles our curiosity. This also applies to our style: do we really have to choose if we want to look classy or edgy or cute ALL THE TIME? I don't think so. We can, if we want to, but personally, one day I might wanna look chic, the other day more cute, then more edgy. I know, some people get confused by that. But as our character traits may not all be consistent, our style can vary as well. And that to me is a lot of fun. Style can really be a form of art.
I so agree about the fractured interests being really part of the same urge, and not having to "stick to one field and dismiss everything else that tickles our curiosity."
These types of video are great! Keep them coming!! So informative and better than constantly just using the same celebrities time and again.
I'm not 100% certain if Olivia Palermo and Haley Williams are Flamboyant Gamines, but they sure do embody the style lines pretty well (for those of you looking for outfit inspo).
Love this! You read my mind, was going to request that you do a specifically Flamboyant Gamine video! Thank you! And the lady in the pics is fabulous!
I would love to see more of these typing videos, it's super helpful! Sharing your thoughts on how angels and different outfits can make the proportions look different was really interesting to hear! I would love more in-depth typing videos, or a video on etherial essence :)
I first thought she was a Dramatic Classic then Flamboyant Gamine. Where you saw D answers, I saw them as C answers...
Me too. I didn't see full lips at all, more on the thin to average side. And that was with a bright red lip, which makes lips like fuller and possible overlining.
@@tomjones2157 She definitely overlined because her upper lip had completely different shapes in w different pictures. Her lips look moderate to thin.
I'd love to see a video on Sophie Turner; she's done so many different looks and somehow manages to pull them off from a combination of posing, angles and adapting styles for her body shape
I think that Sophie definitely gives off a flamboyant natural vibe! She's tall and elongated, has broader shoulders and some width to her.
Sophie turner looks like a dramatic classic to me. Or just classic. Her vertical line is average for her height.
@@elinljungstrom3932 You're right. She's FN
Dramatic classic or flamboyant gamine? 😅😅
Such a wonderful model and example for your video Merriam! Not easy to classify her I would say, very interesting! thank you for your amazing work.
I love this video, it really gives insight on how to type, could we have more of these?
Thank you so much for another wonderful video and for sharing the interview. It was a true pleasure to interview you and it was very empowering for me to have The Style Report with you. And both the Lookbook and the colour Analysis were extremely helpful! Thank you so much Merriam for such an amazing work you've been doing! Sending you love and gratitude!
Thank you Natalia so much for all your kind words, and I'm so happy for your positive experience. Sending you love as well, and please stay in touch
I thought she was a type of Classic like Dramatic Classic. Lol.
You should do more videos like this, i loved it !
Well what I can say is that she's absolutely stunning
Wow, this was really cool! What a beauty she is, and her outfits are so creative and awesome too!
Having said that, I thought she might be a Dramatic Classic at first, but I do get some serious Zooey Deschanel vibes from her, and she is also a Flamboyant Gamine!
However, my eyes did perceive her vertical line to be longer, since her head seemed kind of small to me. It wasn't until her picture with the red loose top taken slightly above her that I could see that she's smaller. That vertical line thing still trips me up! As does perceiving balance, and length. I wonder if this might've been easier to see if there were picture comparisons with other types as you often do. Anyway, thanks again for your video Merriam! 💕
I'd be interested to see the kibbe types of Keri Russell, Megan Fox, Jessica Pare, and Lana Del Rey. I've seen people say different types for them, so it would be cool to see exactly that they are. Thanks!
I'd love a video on mature Gamines! From 50-60-70 +. Would be so fun to see how they express the playful, "youthful" lines. Especially FG's!
Overall it would be really fun and interesting if you made a series on mature ladies of all the types. The older the better! There must be mature celebrities too out there!😊
Another tppic idea is to see how all the celebrities wore there line on the Metropolitan Gala last week! (Céline Dion!) 😊
Thank you for your videos, Merriam! 😊🌺😊
If you're interested, I made a Pinterest board of theatrical romantic celebs who are older and/or heavier (than the typical celebrity), because those examples really are tough to come by: www.pinterest.de/CianaPullen/kibbe-body-types-tr-r-sn/older-heavier-trs-examples-are-helpful-no-offence-/
As an FB and sixty, I agree!!! So tired of looking at these ladies of my age only I. Tunic tops and classic clothes. They don’t suit me at all.
Actually gamine lines are shortened not elongated.The oversized jacket does not compliment the look that well.
Could you please do a video talking about differences between soft classic, soft natural and flamboyant gamine?
Yes will put it on the list!
@@merriamstyle thank you very much, your videos are really fun and interesting.
It’d be interesting to see a comparison of all the different ‘softs’.
Yes, thank you to Natalie. Great job. Love the outfits. I would be interested in Theatrical Romantic.
there are so many components to this system so I give all the creds to those who can type accurately. when you said that her vertical line might be short, it reminded me of a kibbe example of a short model who's line for her height is pretty long so that's what I thought about during the beginning 😅👌🏿
Great video as usual Merriam. I love the reveal, I also thought gamine then classic. Then you put the last photos up. Lol. She looks amazing and so much fun! Love your comment about the guitar. She should make an Epiphone bag lol.
I liked the way you walked us through the process. Would you do a video on Zoe Deschanel? She has such a distinctive style that seems to suit her well.
I was thrown off because in some photos I thought she looked like a dramatic classic (like me) but then in others I thought no way it must be some sort of gamine.. I really appreciated you walking through how the different photos can change the perspective and body lines
In red dress she looked fantastic!
love this kind series
You've said Emilia Clarke is Romantic and Maisie Williams is (soft?) Gamine, but I'd love to hear the body types of some other Game of Thrones ladies as the series draws to a close!
I guessed flamboyant gamine, and once she dressed for this body type you can see it really suits her! In the before pictures her flamboyant gamine outfit with the flowered skirt really stood out as well. Great transformation, thanks Natalie!
Thank you to the model--great examples!
This was really interesting, please do more of these types of videos 😀
Yeah immediately i thought she was classic, she fooled me haha
To me she looks gamine maybe FG because her bones are really angular, but small. She looks really petite. She has some softness, but nothing in the romantic category. Sometimes her flesh even has some dryness to it depending on the angle. Especially her facial flesh.
Edit: Yay! I was right !
Edit # 2: Thanks to the volunteer. Beautiful photos.
What do you mean by dryness?
Yes! More of these videos, please!😊🌺
Wow, I typed her correct and that in mind a few months ago I couldn't make a sense about Kibbe-bodytyping. But it was kind of a frewbie since she looked so great in the more gamine outfit (colourblocked + short flared skirt with kind of higher waist emphasis).
my guess dramatic classic
This was a really insightful video, thank you Merriam! Typing real people does seem to help even more than typing celebrities.
Dear Merriam, thank you for this amazing video, and also thanks to this lady who shared her photos. But still, I guessed it wrong. I thought about SD at first.
Could you share your thought about Eva Green's kibbe body type? She is my favourite actress. Thank you.
I also was wanting to know about Eva Green's kibbe type. My guess would be soft dramatic.
Her body type is Beautiful!
I'd love to see a full analysis (kibbe type and skin undertone) on alexa chung
I think she’s a classic of some sort
Dramatic Classic? 😂 edit: Whoops, so that's what her body type is. Wow, I need to train my eye more hehe.
I think she is actually a DC you people are not wrong
Brilliant per usual! Francoise Hardy
Honestly I find her great in all theses look, I don't think the latest outfit much better than the first one
But it's probable that I just anable to see the subtitle differences
Super cute gamine! Thank you to her and to you for typing her for us!
What a great girl! Thank you 😊
Hey Merriam, really appreciating your channel and this video helps to see your process. Would you type Eva Green?
Great videos! They helped me figure out my type better than any another Kibbe guide. Thanks. (I would still love to have you type me though, but I'm sure you are super busy.)
Lately, I've been super curious as to what Jennifer Morrison's type is. Also, I think it would be fun to see what each country's dominant type is. And maybe what each of the eras' dominate types are.
She is stunning!
I first guessed D, then went on to SD and eventually DC. But gamine lines really do flatter her...
Maybe it's because I think she looks tall that gamine didn't occur to me before you typed her and showed her in gamine outfits....
Firts glance-guess. Flamboyant Gamine.
Isabella S I thought so too
I guess Soft Dramatic.
Edit: FG was my second guess. I'm not even really certain about my own body type though.
Can you do a lipstick shades for the undertones video?
Will put that on the list!
@@merriamstyle Yes! Please, make sure to do nude lips for them all! Gosh, I'm theatrical romantic (so I like more chiseled, often darker makeup), but I also have a warm and bright undertone, so it gets complicated.
@@merriamstyle thank you!
Merriam Style please don’t forget the reds :)
@@diabolique5325yes! I personally tend to have trouble finding a good pink :)
Looking at the math, she only has +2 yang verses yin characteristics. That’s enough to push her from Gamine to Flamboyant Gamine, especially with her C dominate body? Since perfect types don’t exist, I can see how this requires some subjectivity.
First glance from the thumbnail - Classic. At the 3:00 mark I'm thinking maybe Dramatic Classic seeing her face closer up?
I totally see FG now. When you started talking about her vertical line I was arguing in my head that she really looks balanced to me, but I see what others in the comments have pointed out about the longer arms and so on. There's just enough mixing to put her in that category. And then when I saw the FG outfits... Yes! It's like she lit up and became so much more alive.
@@gracelewis6071 Absolutely my trail of thought!: ))
The nice bonus is she can just about rock these two lines (FG & DC) equally and look great & fun!!✨:p
Awesome topic, very interesting to see people who aren't by the book types! my celeb request is Gal Gadot, because of the physical transformation she went through to become wonderwoman, she might be tougher to type :) thank you for your work!
I wonder if Gal Gadot could be some kind of Classic (Dramatic?) Or more of a Natural type? What do you think?
@@cinderling5472 Yes! I think she's definitely a more yang type :) My first thought also was DC, but then I couldn't really find any C answers...I think there's more drama to her, however, her eyes and lips are kind of yin. She usually goes for either D or DC looks and looks amazing, I think :) She has long bones and she also has some width, but I don't know if that's because of the training or her natural tendency. So I guess she could be D, FN or DC, what do you think?
@@katyakomlach6171 After checking out some of her pictures, I agree that she must have a bit more drama.
She has really beautiful long legs (and arms), but lacks that typical N 'strong' look, as she is quite narrow.
This seems to point to D, but as you've said, her eyes are upturned, and her lips seem lush.
But this could cancel out some Yang maybe. Also, N clothing looks very unprepared and sloppy on her. If we just focus on her long narrow skeleton however, D seems quite likely... But she isn't so dry. I do see symmetry in her, so maybe I'd again propose DC for her. She looks good in those long, asymmetrical, sharpish styles. I wonder what Merriam thinks!
By the way, this is fun! Thank you for chatting and guessing like this :D
@@cinderling5472I agree with you! I'm also leaning towards D now, mainly because of how beautiful those lines look on her. Very curious about Merriam's point of view :) Thanks for the discussion, I find this super fun and I love our community here on this channel :D
She looks like a rock star in flamboyant gamine. Very nice. Love videos like this !
At first, I thought she is dramatic and then a dramatic classic type and finally, you said flamboyant gamine! I thought oh OK so I now understand why they say a flamboyant gamine is a small dramatic. Thank you so much, Merriam, for all your creative videos. xoxo
Ah that's good to keep in mind, that a flamboyant gamine is similar to a small dramatic! With some yin or balanced flesh...
I guessed classic before we zoomed in on her face then I went to gamine. I'm not quite skilled enough to guess subtypes. Thank you for photos!
Paused- I’m guessing dramatic classic because she is so proportionate. Maybe flamboyant gamine because she looks great in everything.
Okay, I feel like a good student, Professor Style 👩🏾🎓
She looks good in the gamine looks, but the lightly ruffled look in the first set of photos looked theatrical romantic (?) But I am always bad at picking these. She looked tall to me in the first photos. I'm guessing before I watch the whole video. I'm going by what outfits she looks the best in... that one on the steps is perfect for her. What body type is that outfit best for? Okay-- I guessed kinda wrong, as usual. I still don't quite get this but appreciate the video. Thank you to the volunteer for the photos!
Merriam Style: What's her type?
Me: Spanish gamine
Wow, you guessed my nationality as well! :D
SuseKuss you’re gorgeous!
WOW! I guessed FG. I usually get it all wrong.
This is difficult. I don't always know whether I'm looking at A, B,C etc type of features even. Get the book I guess but there seem to be so many exceptions.
I'm trying to figure out everything about me. Have you checked out Jen Thoden doing colours and Carol Tuttle with Energy typing? All of these concepts are fascinating and I'm trying to blend everything together in a package for myself. I'm interested if you also think about what colours suit people. Thanks for the video.
oh yes, I have my own color analysis system called Artistic License. Here's a video on it: ua-cam.com/video/q_xcvInZifI/v-deo.html
hope you enjoy!
Carol Tuttle's energy typing is fascinating! It makes sense being a type 4 and FG (as Audrey Hepburn). At the same time having type 3 as a secondary allows me to bring in the dynamic patterns and asymmetry. What about you?
I really like these typing videos. I would love for you to do more. I am curious about Maureen O’Hara’s Kibbe body type.
I just paused it and this is very hard because of her small head proportionately but I would say a gamine because I think that she is a mixture of opposites and with an angular skeleton, I would say flamboyant gamine but I think she looks too good with waist emphasis i think if she were a flamboyant gamine a tighter fitted waist wouldn't be her look as much, now I'm gonna un pause it.
Ugh I should have used the test since I even bought the book
Could you do Lizzo’s body type? I’ve been trying to figure it out!
First I thought dramatic classic because of the body, but the facial features were not classic and she rocks the short bangs. And she looks too tall for a pure gamine, but she must be a gamine, so I thougth flambloyant gamine? And my second guess was right. I'm getting good at this :D
My guess is flamboyant natural
This was fun 👍🏻👍🏻😘
At first I thought soft dramatic or flamboyant natural because of the effects of that empire waist dress/pose, then I thought classic because of the long red dress, then I thought 'maybe she could be flamboyant gamine, they're supposedly hard to recognize'... Hahaha took me a while but it was more instinct than insight. I have a lot to learn!
Those flamboyant gamine outfits look stunning on her btw! It's so obvious when you see them!
Yes, it would be great if you did some more in-depth typing videos!!!
I have a very similar body shape to her in terms of bone structure, but I am 5'9, more fleshy in the bum and thighs and my face is a bit rounder. Would I also be considered a flamboyant gamine?
Flamboyant natural or soft dramatic
Flamboyant Gamine?
Thank you to this generous lady 😊
I love love love your video! but i do feel I am even more confused now because I do not how I could identify which type am I. I have mixture yang leaning skeleton bone, with yin flesh, mixed- but yin leaning facial bones and features. I feel like I am going crazy since I do not know how to identity which features carry more weight and find my type
I think she's dramatic classic :)
I Love this!!! I have a few things Meriam, I wish you would do more videos because I just love them I'm sure so many others feel the same YOU ROCK.. another thing I was wondering if you could do a video on sloped shoulders it is extremely hard to get dressed and I'm always in a tee shirt because everything hangs and lays weird. (very narrow shoulders) .. I would love to know what Selma Blair is.. When she was in that TV show with Charlie Sheen. I'm similar to her. If I had the money I would. have a consultation so hopefully I will get that soon. 💛
What would Catherine Zeta Jones kibbe be? I never see her on kibbe lists/videos
She looks Soft Dramatic
@@rdpcl thank you for replying
Whenever I click on the link to the interview it says the page can't be found .....
I guessed right! Well actually I wasn't sure between pure gamine and flamboyant gamine...
But most importantly I think this helped me type myself! Seeing how you actually add up the results was very helpful. I think I might be a soft gamine!
I thought she'd be Soft Natural, Dramatic Classic or Flamboyant Gamine...
I guess the first lady is DC or even SC. It would be easier to guess if you mentioned her height
Great video, thank you. And as well thanks a lot to Natalia. :-) She's looking beautiful in the flamboyant gamine clothes.
I only guessed that she's flamboyant something or dramatic something lol
