Her waistline was digitally edited to appear smaller on the cover of Women’s Health.

But there’s one man who knows exactly how many inches there are to The Rum Diary star Amber Heard.

One lucky tailor got up close and personal with the 25-year-old beauty as he took her measurements in Los Angeles yesterday.

With so many events to attend these days, it is crucial that Amber’s wardrobe fits to perfection.

The blonde beauty wore little makeup as she was fitted with what appeared to be a black corseted dress.

With her hair scraped into a messy  ballerina bun, the actress’s casual appearance certainly made a contrast to her normal glamour.

Amber sported a far more polished look at the Sherlock Homes: Game Of Shadows showing at Regency Village Theatre in Westwood last week.

Not the self-conscious type! Amber wasn't bothered by the large glass windows

Working a pair of high-waist trousers, a white blouse and lashings of red lipstick, it was clear that Amber’s dedication to style pays off.

The slender star recently shared her thoughts on staying in shape, divulging: ‘You feel better when you’re eating food that retains nutritional value’

‘I
personally run, just because that’s all, for me in time management,
running seems to be the most time — accommodating exercise to do’

On a more serious note, she has also been vocal  about the need for closeted gay actors in Hollywood to publicly acknowledge their sexuality.

The openly bisexual star said: ‘You can’t respect yourself if you’re afraid to be who you are.’

‘It requires bravery to do something no one else around you is doing. But the risk was outweighed by the possibility of playing into this horribly detrimental lie that some in Hollywood perpetuate.’

‘I think that the injustice of people staying in the closet is more than I can bear with a clear conscience and I couldn’t sleep at night if I was a part of that problem, if I was part of the lies. ‘

Last month Amber was spotted kissing a brunette after they dined at the Figaro Cafe in Los Feliz.

She is currently looking forward to starring in forthcoming thriller Motor City, to be directed by Albert Hughes.

She will play opposite Dominic Cooper in the revenge thriller about a ‘man released from prison who goes on a revenge mission, hunting down the people who framed him.’

These stars should keep their sexuality private. It’s none of our business.

She reminds me of Imogen Thomas…don’t forget to send the cheque for the mention Max. Ta.

She has a young Sharon Stone thing going on . . .

Love the caption of the 2nd photo ‘Not the self conscious type!’ What a cheek! Some creepy pap is taking a photo from across the street it’s obvious she’s spotted him is giving him a filthy look.

Super-Yum :)

this “journalism” is a bit stalkerish to me….

Amber looks better with less makeup.

amber is so hot!

Will you marry me Amber?

We Gauge The Reaction To Andrej Pejic’s Lingerie Campaign in Amsterdam

We Gauge The Reaction To Andrej Pejic’s Lingerie Campaign in Amsterdam

It’s a bust-stop!

Model Andrej Pejic could well be the fashion world’s liberality litmus test, having provoked outrage by appearing ‘topless’ on the cover of edgy Dossier magazine and a worldly shrug from the French when he stormed the John Paul Gautier catwalk in a see-through wedding gown. So we weren’t entirely surprised, when, earlier this week, it was those clever clogs Dutch – with their liberated, legalise-everything approach to life* – who finally gave the Serbian beauty his high-street break, in a push-up bra campaign, of all things, for retail giant HEMA, a store akin to the late, great Woolworths in terms of its fashion credentials.

Of course, the uplifting images of Andrej sparked debate (not to mention incalculable free publicity) on the Internet, but what does your average Dutch person think of the ads, in the country where the ads are actually running? As Grazia Daily‘s guest blogger, I took to the bus stops of Amsterdam to find out.

Incidentally, while I – like most of the people I spoke to – applaud HEMA for its charmingly light-hearted campaign, I’d like to point out that they’re less open-minded when a man goes into one of their stores and tries to take a picture of its push-up bras. Just saying.

Claire, 29, sales executive

Already knew? ‘Yes. And they say Holland is flat! I love this campaign, it’s exactly the right balance of cheeky and provocative.’

Ruud, 53, software developer

Already knew? ‘No. I’m really shocked because I had no idea it was a boy! Looking at the eyes, I think you can tell if you look really closely. We’re pretty cool with gender and sexuality in the Netherlands, so I don’t think this will cause a scandal.’

Lara, 20, carer

Already knew? ‘No. It’s funny because the imagery they’ve used is way too glamorous for the shop. The model isn’t perfect, and I like that. But I assumed it was a girl, of course! It must have been done with Photoshop, no?’

Alia, Retired

Already knew? ‘No. I don’t like her beauty marks very much. Otherwise quite unremarkable. Do you have some discount vouchers for me, then?’

Mark, 22, sports marketing student

Already knew? ‘No. That’s a dude? No way! Well, he’s extremely handsome, isn’t he! I think models generally are quite androgynous at the moment.’

Danny, 18, communications student

Already knew? ‘No. I think he may regret it in ten year’s time. I sure hope they’re paying him well.’

Amory, 31, marketing executive

Already knew? ‘Yes. A friend of mine works for HEMA and had tipped me off, so I was looking out for these. For a mass-market brand, they’re extremely brave in the way they advertise. It’s admirable.’

Michael Jeffrey, 17 15, students

Already knew? ‘No’ and ‘Yes.’ M: ‘She looks hot! But I feel bad now that you’ve told me it’s a guy!’ J: ‘This was all over the internet, so I already knew. Ha ha!’

Zaera, 28, teacher

Already knew? ‘No. That’s a proper surprise! But a totally great idea! I guess the product really works, then.’

Brechje

Already knew? ‘No. I don’t think I’d buy the bra because she still looks quite flat-chested to me. It’s a man? Wow, that’s cool!’

George, 22, student

Already knew? ‘No. She’s absolutely gorgeous and beautiful. I had absolutely no idea, although now I look at the image again I guess it’s not the bustiest model they could have chosen!’

Celina Marloes, 19 19, make up artists

Already knew? ‘No’ and ‘Yes’. C: ‘My friend just told me about this. Amazing! We’ve just been staring at it for 10 minutes!’ M: ‘I think it’s a really positive campaign. Go Holland!’

Andras, 18, student

Already knew? ‘No. That’s crazy! I’ve seen this ad all over town and thought it was quite unremarkable. Until now.’

Charlotte, 22, dancer

Already knew? ‘Yes. I don’t find it that remarkable, to be honest, but then I’m quite open-minded. You should dress however you want to dress. I’m going to show this to a friend of mine. It would be his dream to be styled like this!’
