14 Celebs Who Give Us Major A$$ Envy
Once upon a time, the main asset a woman was compelled to flaunt was her cleavage. Because the standard for a beautiful body was always measured by her frontage. The bigger, the better, the media declared. But decades later, a woman's behind has suddenly been given ample attention and people realized that hey, having a big butt was an asset too. Females can thank the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian and Beyonce for having no qualms about flaunting their famous behinds and changing the media's perception of beauty.
But while being overly skinny shouldn't be appealing in the least, neither should having an overly enhanced bum. In some cases, bigger isn't always better. The celebrities below are known to have lovely-shaped behinds. They sure know how to flaunt them without being too vulgar. Whether these assets are natural, developed through rigorous workouts, or enhanced with the help of body sculptors, we're envious of these ladies' derrieres.
14 Scarlett Johansson
When she started out as a child actress, it would have taken a blind man to see that Scarlett Johansson would grow up to be a real beauty. And not only did she grow up with that unforgettable face with her luscious lips and defined cheekbones; she has a rocking body to match, which constantly puts her on the sexiest women lists. Johansson is known not just for her big movie roles like the Black Widow in Marvel's Avengers franchise. She's also famous for her hour-glass figure and lovely curves.
13 Jennifer Morrison
Aside from playing Dr. Cameron in the medical drama House and Emma Swan in the fantasy TV show Once Upon a Time, Jennifer Morrison is also a known fitness buff. In several magazine features and interviews, the actress has proudly admitted to working out seven days a week and eating healthy almost every day. The results are toned arms, rock-hard abs, and a shapely figure. Her behind is constantly enhanced when she's wearing those skin-tight jeans that she's required to put on for her role as magic-touting Emma in Once Upon a Time.
12 Sofia Vergara
Not very many celebrities can jokingly put themselves on a pedestal without looking like fools or attention-hoarders. But somehow, Sofia Vergara's explicitly high regard for her own body comes across as sassy, confident, and even endearing. It's probably because Vergara is a natural comedienne and can never appear to be someone with a bloated ego. So when she made that statement, “I've always been known for my boobs, but it pisses me off, because I do have a great ass!” we know it was said in jest, though it certainly was no lie.
11 Pippa Middleton
When Kate Middleton married Prince William, their wedding was touted by many as the wedding of the century. The bride was beautiful in her flowy lace gown and tiara, but despite the fact that it was her day, she was almost upstaged by the maid of honor, her younger sister Pippa. It's clear that good genes run in the Middleton family, as Pippa definitely equals her older sister in beauty. During the wedding, she wore a very simple white gown that hugged her soft curves to perfection.
10 Rihanna
Rihanna has always been in the limelight, not just for her music, but also because of her taste in fashion, extravagant lifestyle, and of course, her personal life. With hit songs like “Take a Bow” and “Umbrella” and a bunch of other hits under her belt, she's definitely an A-lister when it comes to celebrity status. Rihanna is certainly not shy about hiding how she spends her hard-earned money, as she's known to spend thousands of dollars on personal trainers, diets, and hair treatments, just so she can always look fabulous.
9 Megan Fox
She's been in the news as of late with reports that she's expecting her third baby. And with her amazing physique, it's certainly hard to believe that Megan Fox is a mother of two (soon-to-be three) small children. She turned heads when she appeared in Michael Bay's Transformers film installments and quickly became the next hot young thing to grace Hollywood. Aside from those soul-piercing eyes, she was also the envy of all when she was able to bounce back after giving birth to her two sons looking as svelte as ever.
8 Jessica Biel
Jessica Biel has definitely come a long way from her days as Mary Camden in the wholesome family TV show 7th Heaven, for which she achieved worldwide recognition. She went on to star in other films like The Rules of Attraction, Blade: Trinity, and Total Recall. Today, she is more active in the independent film circuit and has settled down as wife to Justin Timberlake and mother to their son Silas. Biel has certainly maintained her physique and smoking hot body post-pregnancy.
7 Jennifer Lawrence
Known as one of the most “real” and down-to-earth celebrities to ever grace Hollywood, Jennifer Lawrence has certainly been on top of the world for the past few years. Her talent for acting is innate, as she bagged her first Oscar nomination at the tender age of 20 for the film Winter's Bone and she has never had to take acting classes. She has also defied body-shamers by maintaining some meat in her body, not succumbing to that Hollywood stereotype of becoming a stick-thin celeb.
6 Blake Lively
Among all the actors in the teen drama Gossip Girl, Blake Lively was perhaps the one who gained the most fame and acclaim, though her co-star Leighton Meester follows close behind. Lively captivated audiences when she played misunderstood heiress Serena van der Woodsen in the hit show and she has gone on to star in big Hollywood films like Green Lantern and The Age of Adaline. Aside from being Mrs. Ryan Reynolds, Lively is also known for her amazing red carpet fashion and beautifully sculpted figure.
5 Kate Upton
She has certainly graced many a man's fantasies, thanks to her appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, where she confidently flaunted her physical assets. Though Kate Upton is first and foremost a model, having appeared in magazine spreads and endorsed several brands, she has branched out into movies such as Tower Heist and The Other Woman. Upton is not shy about her body and is in fact proud of the fact that she's got curves.
4 Miranda Kerr
Everyone once felt that Orlando Bloom was the luckiest human being alive for having bagged supermodel and super hottie Miranda Kerr. The Australian model gained recognition as one of the Victoria's Secret Angels, gracing the renowned brand's runways multiple times and having famously done so a few weeks after giving birth to her and Bloom's son. At 5'9” she's always had that enviable figure: curves but with long lean arms and slender legs that go on for days.
3 Minka Kelly
There are some who say she bears a striking resemblance to Jennifer Lopez, but the truth of the matter is, Minka Kelly is her own person with her unique brand of sultry beauty. Not very many may know that she's the daughter of former Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay and that's probably because she was raised by her mother and uses her mother's name Kelly. She's most known for her appearances in the TV shows Friday Night Lights and Parenthood, as well as the films The Roommate and The Butler. Kelly turns heads during red carpet events, not just for her exotic looks, but also for her beautiful body.
2 Shakira
She may be petite at 5'2”, but Shakira has proven time and again that she is larger than life in terms of how much she has accomplished in her career. Aside from being a singer, songwriter, dancer, and record producer, she is also a business woman who owns a beauty line and is part owner of a luxury island resort that she leases out to tourists willing to pay a hefty buck. She's also a mom to two adorable boys, which is probably one of the reasons she has an amazing figure. Having to chase them around surely burns a lot of calories.
1 Kylie Minogue
It's hard to believe that Australian singer and actress Kylie Minogue will be turning 50 in a couple of years. She's proof that a petite frame and youthful features are a definite advantage in slowing down the aging process. Minogue has reinvented herself over the years, from the days she'd be donned in '80s clothes, to the '90s when she started wearing tighter clothing and showing off her assets. Perhaps what really drew attention to her lovely behind was her teeny shiny gold outfit in the music video Spinning Around in 2000.
