Let’s take a look at two Kibbe ID’s that can be a bit more difficult to differentiate. We’ll look at Claire Danes (Dramatic), and Nicole Kidman (Flamboyant Natural) and play a round of spot the differences 😉
Let’s start off with facial structure. Claire possesses a sharper, narrower cheekbone and jawline, a stronger, more prominent nose, narrower spaced eyes, and tauter cheek flesh. Nicole has wider, broader cheekbones, a jawline with much more blunt of an angle, a blunt shaped nose, wider spaced eyes, and fuller, stronger looking cheek flesh.
Let’s take a look at their bodies.
Claire is much straighter, mow narrow. Her shoulders are sharper. Her bust-line, waistline, and hipline do not deviate much, giving her a boyishly narrow tapering. Her limbs are more narrow and elongated. On the other hand, Nicole has wider, stronger shoulders. She has a sider bust-line, a slight nipping at the waist, slightly wider, more square hips, and her limbs are elongated but broad and more muscular. Both have long vertical lines, but Claire possesses a narrower T shape whereas Nicole’s T is wider.
You can really see how narrow Claire is in the dress below. Despite the looser clothing, Nicole looks broader, more filled out in a meatier, more muscular way. Nicole also looks very much at home in this off the shoulder, irregular, and relaxed outfit. It is hard to imagine Claire looking as comfortable in the same set of clothes.
Since Body ID is mostly about vibe, essence, and visceral reaction, let’s explore these actresses’ varying impressions. Claire seems more powerful, more intense, more sharp in spirit. Nicole is also strong, but in a more diffuse, softened, and relaxed way.
Claire looks beautiful in clean, decisive, and sculpted lines. Nicole can really carry the wilder, more irregular, and heavier fabrics, details, hair, and silhouettes.
Claire, like most Dramatics, rocks a man-tailored suit like a second skin. The sharp structure enhances their lines. Meanwhile, Nicole wears more tactile, sensual, and heavier fabrics and lines with the same sense of comfort. Flamboyant Naturals have the earthiness and solidity to really shine in their free spirited ensembles.
The differences between Dramatics and Flamboyant Naturals are quite pronounced, as are their unique styles and essences. No two individuals are the same, of course, and one must always prioritize a sense of expansion and freedom when identifying a type.
