10 Male Celebrities with Diamond Body Shape and Styling Tips

Top 10 Diamond Body Shape Male Celebrities

This guide looks at ten well-known men with a Diamond body shape and turns each one into formal and casual outfit ideas for men with a similar build.

In this guide, we use Diamond for an outline where the middle stands out more distinctly between a comparatively narrower upper and lower torso.

Triangle, Inverted Triangle, Rectangle, Trapezoid and Hourglass follow familiar styling usage; Oval and Diamond are described in The VOU’s own words.

The outfit ideas under each name are The VOU’s suggestions for this outline; unless a sentence says otherwise, they are not reports of what each man has worn, and brand names are examples of where to look.

For the full method, see our diamond body shape guide.

Whatever you take from the ideas, fit comes first: a jacket that fastens over the middle without pulling, a shirt that does not gape between buttons, and trousers whose waistband sits where you want it, standing and seated.

Rise labels vary between makers, so check the actual pair; braces are one option if you prefer the waistband higher than a belt would hold it.

1. Jorge Garcia

Formal Look

Jorge Garcia, one of the ten men with a Diamond body shape in this guide, suits a formal idea built on custom-tailored suits with structured shoulders and single-breasted jackets, a silhouette meant to give the shoulders more presence.

Bespoke suits in solid navy and charcoal, or ready-to-wear from brands such as Brooks Brothers, work when the jacket fastens over the middle without pulling.

Peak lapels are one way to draw the eye outward towards the shoulders, a feature also associated with the inverted triangle outline; notch lapels remain a sound option, and light shoulder padding with only as much waist shaping as fastens comfortably keeps the line clean.

Casual Look

For a casual idea, dark open-collared button-down shirts in navy, charcoal or black, from a brand such as Robert Graham and in a regular rather than slim cut, go with straight-leg dark-wash jeans and black Chelsea boots from a maker such as Allen Edmonds.

Styling Tips

Choose structured jackets with light shoulder padding if you would like more presence at the shoulders

Try single-breasted suits with peak or notch lapels and compare them in a mirror

Consider subtle vertical stripes if you like pattern; their effect depends on the spacing and the rest of the outfit

Wear straight-leg trousers in dark colours for a clean line from waist to shoe

Interesting Fact

Garcia is best known for playing Hugo “Hurley” Reyes in “Lost“.

2. DJ Khaled

Formal Look

DJ Khaled, who has a Diamond body shape, suits bold, statement formal wear with strong shoulder construction and vibrant colour.

The formal idea in this spirit is a suit from a house such as Gucci or Dolce & Gabbana in a jewel tone like emerald green, burgundy or royal blue, which keeps attention on the jacket and the face.

Wide peak lapels are one way to draw the eye towards the shoulders; choose a lapel width in proportion to your jacket and shoulders rather than a fixed figure.

If you would like help planning custom suits around a bold personal style, a personal image consultant can help.

Casual Look

For a casual idea, a structured tracksuit, roomy but not shapeless, works with trainers such as those from his ‘We The Best’ collaboration with Jordan brand, in bold new money colours and patterns.

Open overshirts and lightweight bomber jackets add structure at the shoulders without closing over the middle.

Styling Tips

Use bold colours and patterns on the jacket or shirt if you want attention drawn upward

Select jackets with defined shoulders that fasten without pulling over the middle

Layer with open, structured outerwear

Choose straight-cut trousers for a clean, vertical line

Interesting Fact

We The Best is also the name of Khaled’s record label.

3. Billy Gardell

Formal Look

Billy Gardell, who has a Diamond body shape, suits a formal idea built on custom three-piece suits in deep navy or charcoal grey with a subtle pinstripe.

Structured shoulders with moderate padding give the shoulders more presence, and gentle waist shaping should still let the jacket fasten comfortably.

A waistcoat that lies flat and covers the trouser waistband gives a smooth line across the middle; check it standing and seated.

Casual Look

For a casual idea, structured yet casual blazers in navy or brown, from a maker such as Joseph Abboud, go over solid-coloured button-down shirts in a relaxed fit and dark straight-leg jeans.

Leather brogue boots finish the outfit.

Styling Tips

Try a three-piece suit with a waistcoat that covers the trouser waistband

Choose structured jackets with moderate shoulder padding if you want more presence at the shoulders

Consider subtle pinstripes if you like pattern

Add a structured blazer to casual outfits

Interesting Fact

Gardell starred as Mike Biggs in the sitcom “Mike & Molly“; outfits like the ones above rely on fit rather than trendy fashion.

4. John Daly

Formal Look

John Daly, the golfer, has a Diamond body shape and is known for wearing loudly patterned golf clothing from Loudmouth, a taste for colour that can carry over to formal occasions.

The formal idea in this spirit is a structured jacket with defined shoulders and peak lapels in a vibrant colour or pattern, worn with straight-cut trousers in a solid dark colour.

For semi-formal events and smart casual settings, a structured blazer with a quieter pattern keeps interest at the jacket while looking more restrained.

Casual Look

A casual idea pairs a patterned polo shirt with a firm collar, which frames the face, with straight-leg trousers or solid-coloured jeans and golf or athletic shoes.

Styling Tips

Use bold patterns and colours in jackets if you want interest above the middle

Choose structured shoulders with moderate padding

Select straight-leg trousers for a clean, uninterrupted line

Try polo shirts with firm collars to frame the face

5. Danny DeVito

Formal Look

Danny DeVito, who has a Diamond body shape, suits a formal idea built on a three-button suit from a house such as Brioni or Armani.

Button stance is worth trying with a tailor: a higher or lower top button changes where the jacket opening sits, and the right position depends on your own torso and leg proportions.

Moderate shoulder padding and peak lapels are one way to give the shoulders more presence; the aim is a balance you like, not necessarily a trapezoid appearance.

Dark, solid colours like navy and charcoal give a streamlined look; whether they suit you also depends on your seasonal colour palette.

Casual Look

For a casual idea, dark-shade or monochromatic outfits with an open overshirt, from a brand such as James Perse, over a simple crew-neck T-shirt work well.

Straight-cut dark jeans or trousers and Chelsea boots complete the outfit; choose a hem length that suits the shoes, from no break to a slight break.

Styling Tips

Try different button stances with a tailor and compare them in a mirror

Consider peak lapels if you want more presence at the shoulders

Try a monochromatic outfit if you want a long, unbroken line

Choose straight-cut trousers with a hem that suits your shoes

6. Alfred Molina

Formal Look

Alfred Molina, who has a Diamond body shape, suits refined tailoring; if your own outline is closer to a gentler shoulder-to-hip taper, compare our guide to the trapezoid-like body shape.

The formal idea in this spirit is a suit from Savile Row tailors such as Henry Poole & Co, or another tailor, with structured shoulders, moderate padding and peak lapels.

A three-piece suit in charcoal, navy or black with a subtle vertical pinstripe adds interest; pinstripes are often chosen to lead the eye up and down, though their effect depends on the stripe spacing and the rest of the outfit.

If you take ideas for formal wear from his film and stage roles, remember that a costume designer dresses a character, while your own outfits only need to suit you.

Casual Look

For a casual idea, a structured sport coat in navy or brown tweed goes over a solid-coloured button-down shirt, with straight-leg dark denim or chinos and leather brogues or dress boots from a maker such as Church’s.

Styling Tips

Try a three-piece suit with a subtle vertical pattern if you like pattern

Choose structured jackets with peak lapels if you want more presence at the shoulders

Try a monochromatic outfit for a streamlined look

Choose straight-leg trousers with a hem that suits your shoes

Interesting Fact

Molina has a long stage career alongside film roles such as Doctor Octopus in “Spider-Man 2”.

7. Gabriel Iglesias

Formal Look

Gabriel Iglesias, who has a Diamond body shape, suits relaxed but deliberate formal styling.

The formal idea in this spirit is a suit from a house such as Armani or Robert Graham with structured shoulders and peak lapels, which are one way to draw attention towards the shoulders.

For semi-formal occasions, a bowling shirt or Hawaiian shirt with a bold print puts interest in the upper body.

Casual Look

For a casual idea, a Hawaiian or bowling shirt in a vibrant pattern, from brands such as Tommy Bahama or Cubavera, goes with straight-leg dark jeans or trousers and classic black leather shoes.

If you want a signature shirt of your own, a professional fashion stylist can help you find one that suits your own body shape.

Styling Tips

Use bold patterns in shirts if you want interest above the middle

Select structured jackets with peak lapels for more presence at the shoulders

Choose straight-leg trousers in dark colours for a clean vertical line

Keep footwear simple and classic

Interesting Fact

Iglesias is widely known for his Hawaiian shirts and appears in stand-up specials such as his 2019 Netflix special.

8. Wayne Knight

Formal Look

Wayne Knight, who has a Diamond body shape, suits tailored formal attire built around a balanced line.

The formal idea in this spirit is a suit from makers such as Brooks Brothers or Hugo Boss with structured shoulders, moderate padding and notch lapels with a slightly higher gorge, which is one way to draw attention upward.

Single-breasted jackets in navy, charcoal or black with a subtle pinstripe, and gentle waist shaping that still fastens comfortably, keep the outfit simple.

Casual Look

For a casual idea, structured sport coats or blazers in navy or brown go over solid-coloured button-down shirts, with straight-leg dark jeans or chinos and leather loafers or brogues.

Styling Tips

Try single-breasted suits with a subtle vertical pattern if you like pattern

Choose structured shoulders with moderate padding

Compare a higher gorge with a standard gorge in a mirror

Try a tonal outfit with subtle pattern variation for interest

Interesting Fact

9. Bob Hoskins

Formal Look

Bob Hoskins, who had a Diamond body shape, suits a formal idea built on classic British tailoring.

The idea in this spirit is a suit from Savile Row tailors such as Gieves & Hawkes or Huntsman, with structured shoulders, moderate padding and peak lapels.

A three-piece suit in charcoal, navy or a subtle herringbone, with a waistcoat long enough to cover the trouser waistband, gives a tidy line across the middle.

Casual Look

For a casual idea, structured sport coats in tweed or wool go over solid-coloured Oxford shirts, with straight-leg trousers or dark denim and leather brogues.

Styling Tips

Try a three-piece suit with a waistcoat that covers the trouser waistband

Choose structured shoulders with moderate padding

Try classic patterns like herringbone for texture

Interesting Fact

Hoskins’ breakthrough film role was the London gangster Harold Shand in “The Long Good Friday” (1980).

10. Alfred Hitchcock

Formal Look

Alfred Hitchcock, who had a Diamond body shape, is a classic reference for traditional British tailoring.

Roger Ebert described his public uniform as a black suit, white shirt and black tie, worn summer and winter and in his film cameos.

The formal idea in this spirit is a dark suit from a London tailor such as Anderson & Sheppard, with structured shoulders, moderate padding and lapels in proportion to the shoulders; a dark three-piece suit in charcoal, navy or a subtle pinstripe is a variation, and button stance is worth trying with a tailor rather than fixing in advance.

Casual Look

For a less formal idea, a structured sport coat goes over a solid-coloured shirt with a spread collar, which frames the face, with straight-leg trousers in a dark tone and classic Oxford shoes.

Styling Tips

Try a three-piece suit with lapels in proportion to your shoulders

Compare button stances with a tailor and keep the one you prefer in a mirror

Try spread collars to frame the face

Keep a consistent palette of dark tones if that suits you

Styling Lessons from Diamond Body Shape Celebrities

Common ideas across the ten outfits above include:

• Fit first: jackets that fasten over the middle without pulling, and trousers whose waistband sits where you want it, standing and seated
• Defined shoulders, peak lapels or colour near the face if you want the shoulders and face to have more presence
• Straight-leg trousers with a hem that suits your shoes
• Waistcoats long enough to cover the trouser waistband, or open layers such as overshirts and sport coats

None of these ideas is compulsory; compare the options in a mirror and use them to build your own personal style.

All 7 Male Body Shapes and Their Attributes

In 1940, American psychologist William Sheldon published a somatotype classification that sorted physiques into ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph.

Somatotypes describe overall build, while styling body shapes describe the visible outline of the shoulders, middle and hips, which is what matters when choosing garments.

In styling, The VOU uses seven body shapes as working descriptions, not diagnoses.

Triangle, Inverted Triangle, Rectangle, Trapezoid and Hourglass follow familiar styling usage; Oval and Diamond are described in The VOU’s own words.

1. Rectangle Body Shape, also known as Straight Shape, Banana, Column or H-Shape: relatively little visible taper through the shoulders, torso and hips.
2. Oval Body Shape, also known as Apple Shape, Round, O-Shape or Circular: in this guide, a rounded, fuller-middle outline with more general fullness through the torso.
3. Diamond Body Shape (explained here), also known as Spade, Teardrop or Wedge Reversed: in this guide, the middle stands out more distinctly between a comparatively narrower upper and lower torso.
4. Hourglass Body Shape, also known as X-Shape, Figure 8 or Wasp: shoulders and hips appear broadly balanced, with a visibly more defined waist between them.
5. Trapezoid Body Shape, also known as Rhomboid or Athletic: shoulders broader than the hips, with a gentler taper than the Inverted Triangle.
6. Triangle Body Shape, also known as Pear Shape, Bell, A-Shape or Spoon: the lower torso and hip outline appears broader than the shoulders.
7. Inverted Triangle Body Shape, also known as V-Shape, Athlete Shape or Wedge: the shoulder and upper-torso outline is noticeably broader than the hips.
