GENERAL REVIEW: Cashmere Mafia is not an exact copycat of other TV show hits like Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives. However, it suffered from such comparisons. And, unfortunately, it didn’t last very long as it was cancelled just after one season (7 episodes).

Petite Celebrity in Profile: Lucy Liu (or also written up as Lucy Lui)

Height: 5’2

Birth Date: 2 December 1968

Country: USA

Celeb Claim to Fame: Appearances in several TV shows (from the original “Beverly Hills 901210″ and the popular “Ally McBeal” to the short-lived series “Joey” and “Cashmere Mafia”), as well as movies like “Charlie’s Angels”, “Chicago”, “Kill Bill: Vol 1″ and “Shanghai Noon”. She has also voiced over animations like “Kung Fu Panda” and “Mulan 2″. She has won several awards, including an Emmy for her role in “Ally McBeal”.

Why We Love Her: Not only can she act (both on TV and the movies!), model, and be a voice talent – she can also paint! Yes, this multi-talent beauty has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. How can you not admire her for such versatility?

Petite Celebrity Style: Just like her talents, Lucy is also versatile when it comes to style. She can look like a fierce, tough, and butt-kicking chick one minute, then appear as a glamourous celeb in a gown during a Hollywood event in the next minute.

In the photo you see here, Lucy appears in a chic tailored white suit by Christian Dior, with matching Dior bag. Four fabulous petite style tips that she uses in this look:

1. Create a singular block of colour in clothing – In this case, Lucy wears an all-white ensemble. This elongates the body.

2. Consider lines in clothing! – The V-neck and vertical lines in her suit helps to flatter petite figures.

3. Wear shoes in the nude – To create an illusion of longer legs, petite women are often advised to wear shoes that match their skin tone. Lucy follows this advice well in this look.

4. Make sure your clothes are well-fitted – Need we say more?
