I’M BACK!! I know it’s been a while, but it was Christmas, and everyone needs a break at Crimbo \ud83d\ude09 well there is no need to panic, I am back writing posts and talking about topics that I know a lot of you are interested in. Today’s post is about body image in the celebrity world, the normal world, and the pressure people may feel to compete with others on social media or the internet to have the ‘perfect’ figure.\u00a0I don’t know about you, but\u00a0lately I have seen this issue talked about on nearly every social media platform – even snapchat! So I thought this would be a perfect time to talk about it and tell you all what I think, and what the rest of the world is saying.<\/p>\n

A tiny waist,\u00a0a big bum and long legs is thought to be\u00a0a ‘perfect’ figure<\/a> by most people. All across the world people are being judged for their figure and the way they look, it doesn’t matter who you are, whether if you’re famous or not, everyone feels the pressure to look their best. Even I do! Every time I open a magazine I seem to find at least one<\/p>\n

celebrity being scrutinised by the press, and this includes the celebs with good figures as well as bad.\u00a0Over time people such as Cheryl Cole, Adele, Melissa McCarthy and Gigi Hadid has been judged for their bodies for completely different reasons. While Cheryl was on X Factor she was labelled as too skinny, Adele and Melissa were shamed for being fat, and Gigi Hadid was told by the fashion industry she was too fat and short<\/a> for runway modelling. And this isn’t the first time the fashion industry has body shamed a celebrity –\u00a0Melissa McCarthy was rejected by\u00a0high\u00a0fashion brands when looking for dresses to wear to the\u00a0Oscars as she was said to be too big to wear their clothes. Society also\u00a0spoke out about Barbie and how the doll sets the wrong example for young children, yet in the new Barbie film, the directors cast Amy Schumer and people protested calling her too fat to play the part. Its shocking that such talented people are being criticised for the way they look in today’s age.<\/p>\n

Due to the scrutiny Gigi Hadid has previously suffered, in 2016 she helped run an event with stars such as Ruby Rose, Lena Dunham and Zoe Kravitz, which confronted the idea of ‘unattainable perfection’ for women today, which is exactly what my blog represents. At the event, they tackled this subject to remind women that all imperfections are a part of femininity. They used #PerfectNever across all social media platforms to show everyone that you do not need to be perfect. The picture below shows what Gigi had to say about the event on Instagram:<\/p>\n
