I can't get over how fabulous Eva Longoria looked at the Paycheck to Paycheck: The Life & Times of Katrina Gilbert movie premiere the other night. The former Desperate Housewives star, who has a naturally athletic/petite figure, looked curvier than ever and I believe it had everything to do with what she was wearing. That form-fitted peplum dress played up her shape, creating the illusion of an hourglass figure. It's funny how clothes can really transform the way your body looks.

The biggest misconception people have about us Latinas is that we're all curvy. Trust me girl, I have tons of Latina friends who don't have much going on in the butt, bust or hip department and that's perfectly fine–that's where fashion comes in! Here's how to fake a curvier body just using clothes!

For a bigger butt
A good pair of jeans can make anyone look like they have a butt. Look for a pair of tight skinny jeans with prominent pockets and lots of stretch. It helps create the illusion of a rounder, perky booty. Shopbop.com, $190
For a bigger bust
Get yourself a bra that's going to give you a boost in the cleavage area but that's still comfortable. Thelittlebracompany.com, $60
For a smaller waist
An A-line skirt does a great job at cinching in the waist and making it appear smaller. I'd totally add a thin belt to it too. Hm.com, $20
For a more hourglass shape
A peplum top creates the illusion of fuller hips and a smaller waist. Anthropologie.com, $60
For fuller calves
I have an aunt who was picked on for years for her very thin ankles (or what they call "chicken legs"). She disguises them now with ankle-strap heels and sandals which tricks the eyes into thinking her calves are toner and more muscular. Genius right? Asos.com, $66
