Christina Hendricks Tops Kate Moss as the Woman Most Girls Want to Look Like, Cosmopolitan UK Says

Kate Moss is just not having a good week.

First, reports surfaced that the supermodel's clothing line had gotten the heave-ho from Topshop.

Now, the UK edition of Cosmopolitan magazine claims that young women would rather look like "Mad Men" actress Christina Hendricks than the iconic waif, the Telegraph reports.

Kleenex, Kate?

"Joan [Harris, Hendricks' character] has had a huge impact on fashion and on women having the confidence to flaunt their curves," editor Louise Court told the Radio Times.

"This year loads of girls want to look like Christina Hendricks, not Kate Moss."

Except, you know, Hendricks's Barbie alter ego, which is suspiciously curve free.

Hendricks -- currently starring in London Fog's new campaign -- has also recently been praised by Britain's Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone for setting a great body-image example with her hourglass figure.

But don't beat yourself up, Kate -- at least the fellas want your body. According to a new study, Moss has the perfect waist-to-hip ratio for attracting men. Feel better?

Meanwhile, check out Hendricks flaunting her curves in a lilac Zac Posen at the Emmys.

Kate Moss verses Christina Hendricks? There is no comparison because Kate looks like an anorexic stick figure and Christina looks like a real woman instead of some under fed overly self conscious teenager. Yes Kate may look hot on film and after airbrushing but you strip these tow next to each other in front of any normal man and hands down Christina will win and Kate will only get to watch!

Nice comments specially toward the end in which a man can have a threesome with both Christina and Kate but will choose someone who has more real womanly curves than any sports car out which would make Kate look less curvier standing next to those cars. I love women who have such curves, cause to me, it's much sexier even
during summer when cotton dresses show them off. The red carpet designer dresses Ms. Hendricks wears are not close to what she wears on "Mad Men" which she said during an interview are close to what women wore during that era right down to the thigh highs, garters, and supports which would leave marks on her delicate skin after a 18-20 hr shoot. So much for corsets, eh? When she got married, her wedding dress showed her hugging curves. I have a relative who had 3 kids and worked out
to a point were she had Kate's body afterwards, goes to show there are the pro-skinny waif fashionistas out there who are bulimics, yet I am glad that finally there
are actual women body types like K.H. and women who carry their extra weight very well. More power to them!!

Kate is just as much as a 'real' woman as Christina is. Just because she doesn't wear a size D bra or have curves doesn't make her less of a woman. What nonsense.

The redhead on the left is a beautiful feminine looking woman. The woman on the right looks loke a skank ho in that black mini-dress with that ugly face with squinty mean eyes and a pose like shes got something shoved up her rear end.

Did she reject you? Because wow that's a hostile comment. And quite frankly, the woman on the left, is a little chunky. There is curvy and then there is just blatant fat.
However, I wouldn't want to look like either one of them. Always appreciated the way I look, especially considering I look just like my mother.
Only she was really gorgeous. :)

Lets just say Kate DOESNT CARE and neither do we....Kate's 1#
The ORIGINAL supermodels WERE Twiggy, Verushka and Jean Shrimpton!
Now, Kate...
Christina Hendricks is just another pretty lady..
What Kate makes IN A DAY...from all her clothes/modeling/ads/covers on magazines, makes her very happy and content. She isn't worried about not being popular and above all, SHE LIVED WITH JOHNNY DEPP.................for a long time.....and that surpasses EVERYTHING...

I wish more of the men would speak up to the advertising agencies to let them know that they like the curves of real women. I am not talking overweight but like miss hendricks. Many of the comments posted by the men here seem to like her figure better, and for the young ladies out there it would be much more atainable to have that body then the extreamly skinny. I am proud of the men who like to see women as that women and not as a woman who wants to have the figure of a little girl or even worse a little boy. You go guys

The reLAXed standads Aunt from South Carolina is preaching to the choir!

She should stand outside Wal-Mart, with a petition.
When those men waddle out with their wobbling wives, get them to sign.

What youre really saying is that you like men that like fat women, because you are obviously a fatty. Oh wait, im sure you will call that muffin top and size 16 jeans..."curvy" lmao. Right... You people need to stop making excuses for being overweight. It is not beautiful. It is unhealthy and dusgusting. Every guy I know thinks Kate Moss is gorgeous. Absolutely stunning and would love to have a girl as hot as that. Keep feeding your faces, haters.

Men just want to see women, different shapes and sizes, its all good. Women are the ones who they are focusing on and influencing. Always has been, always will be.

Having a voluptuous hour glass figure with double d bra size is more attainable than being slender? lol what a joke.

Christina Hendricks is gorgeous..perfect porcelain skin and face. She is a size 14 and not ashamed to admit it. She has said that she has a difficult time finding appropriate fitting evening wear since all the designers make the loaners in sizes 0 and 2..not everyone is the size of Eva Longoria!
