Celita

Celita is a world-class athlete. She's competed in the Olympic Games twice - first as a member, and then as captain, of the women's judo team. She's in training and hoping to make it a third time. Thirty-five-year-old Celita has been an athlete all her life; she also coaches women's soccer and basketball. But the years of training have given Celita a muscular build and broad shoulders, which make it hard for her to find clothes. That could be why Celita dresses like she's always on the track even when she's out for dinner.

This Yale graduate is also working on a new career in the financial industry, but looking like a phys-ed instructor won't work on Wall Street. Stacy and Clinton need to find a way for Celita to dress in more feminine styles that flatter her shape, and they also need to persuade Celita to try them. For a woman who has never felt comfortable looking "girly," it's going to be a big step.
