[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can tell that, for some people, "elegance" is really just another code word. [/quote]

Yep!

I’m guessing I’m one of the pp that you might be referencing because of my comment on Oprah. But I wasn’t focusing on traditionally Caucasian skinny white chick looks. I think Lupita Nyong’o is naturally elegant and one of the most beautiful actresses I can name.

I guess it boils down to how you carry yourself - shoulders back, chin up. Being a healthy shape for you. Well fit clothing leaning towards conservative (meaning you don’t need to show off your assets to grab attention), regardless of style. An easiness and natural beauty without excessive makeup to get you there. And confidence.

I guess understated and natural beauty with a focus on presentation is always elegant to me. [/quote]

Let me just guess: despite carrying herself with confidence--shoulders back, chin up--being in healthy shape and well-fit clothing leaning toward conservative (for evening wear), natural beauty without excessive confidence, that you wouldn't consider this woman to be elegant:

Gee, I wonder why.[/quote]

Not to me. Course, I’d be hard pressed to find any highly athletic woman with a masculine body elegant. Just not capturing the ‘easiness’. I think elegance captures more than just a look but a level of serenity to their demeanor (yes, I recognize the irony).

I don’t understand your ‘gee, I wonder why, comment. [/quote]
