Profile

Sonja comes from Bocholt (NRW) and works as a production assistant. She likes to do handicrafts, rides her bike a lot and spends time with her family. Sonja is 1.63 m tall and wears size 44 clothes and size 39 shoes.

Her wish:

I would love to wear dresses or skirts more often. But I don't really dare because of my wide hips. The women you make over always look great - it would be really great to have that experience.

The styling: a freshness kick for skin & hair

The hair experts were unanimous: Sonja's light brown tone needs a refresh. Hair stylist Tom opts for fine blonde strands - they give Sonja's complexion more freshness. The fringed long bob with straight bangs makes the look much more modern overall. Our make-up artist Petra then takes care of Sonja's make-up. The professional focuses on the eyes and emphasizes the brows first. This has an immediate effect because it gives the face more contour. Earthy tones on her cheeks and lips harmonize wonderfully with Sonja's natural complexion. She is thrilled.

Outfit 1: A dream in Bordeaux

Whether for a family celebration or an evening in a restaurant - the maxi dress looks elegant yet trendy. The highlight: thanks to the stretchy fabric, it fits comfortably and hardly creases.

Outfit 2: Autumnal floral splendor

Patterned midi dresses flatter Sonja's curvy figure. The red belt emphasizes her slim waist. Tip: High heels ensure beautiful proportions.

Outfit 3: A good combination

The cool print trousers turn a white blouse and fleece sweater into a trendy look in no time at all.

Outfit 4: Casual for every day

The blouson and palazzo trousers are loose and airy. Ideal partners: a fun T-shirt and sneakers.
