Catherine Zeta Jones is an apple-shape

Catherine Zeta-Jones, Liz Hurley and Drew Barrymore are all famous actresses, but what else do they have in common? Well believe it or not, it's their shape; all these lovely ladies have an apple-shape.

Seeing as it's National Apple Day today (yes, really!) we thought we'd take a look at some of the best celebrity apple-shaped bodies, and show you how to dress, if you to are lucky enough to have an apple-shape.

An apple-shape tends to refer to women who have a full bust, waist and upper back, and it usually means that you store fat around the mid-section of your bodies. This unfortunately means your stomach, abdomen and chest, but the good news is that you'll also have slim thighs and upper legs as well.

Most women don't know what their shape actually is, but apple-shaped women do tend to have a slightly top-heavy appearance. The best way to tell if you are an apple is to measure your hip-waist ratio, if it's bigger than 0.8 then congratulations- you're an apple!

Here are some famous apple -shaped celebrities...

Drew Barrymore

Drew has always had some body issues, but we think at the minute she has never looked healthier or happier...must be down to the toyboy!

Catherine Zeta-Jones

This Welsh beauty always looks stunning and knows how to dress for her shape, so apple's embrace your inner Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Liz Hurley

Lovely Liz is also apparently an apple-shape, so there is hope for us all that we can too look like Liz Hurley. Hurrah!

Dressing for an 'Apple' shape

* Avoid fitted or tailored pieces, especially those with a waistband that is very clear for all to see, as this will draw attention to your middle. Instead opt for trousers and skirts that are straight.

* Stay clear of short tops, you should always opt for tops that cover the hip area and if possible, wear over tapered trousers, which will elongate and slim your legs.

*Flash those pins! short skirts are not only sexy, but they will take attention away from your mid-section and instead draw interest to those slim thighs.
