The new year couldn’t have started off better than with the model Paloma Elsesser<\/a>\u00a0on the cover of Vogue in January 2021<\/strong>. To see one of the greatest representatives of bodily diversity occupying the front page of the famous magazine could not have meant anything less than a new step towards the validation of all bodies in the media.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Magazines, television and movies show ideals of beauty unattainable for most people.<\/strong> Looking back, at the beginning of the 21st century there was virtually no representation of women in non-standard sizes. In recent years, we have witnessed a slow but steady cultural change. Standards of beauty have begun to deviate from fatphobia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Models such as Elsesser, Ashley Graham<\/a><\/strong> and Tess Holliday<\/a><\/strong> are claiming every day the need to make the different types of bodies visible in fashion, beauty and the media. Since the Aerie<\/strong> brand stopped retouching its models in 2014, other brands have followed suit. So much so that brands such as Versace<\/a> have counted on Alva Claire<\/a>, Precious Lee<\/a> and Jill Kortleve<\/a> for their Spring\/Summer 2021 show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Victoria’s Secret: the perpetuation of the slim, cisgendered woman with European features<\/h3>\n

The end of the Victoria’s Secret<\/strong> era, which perpetuated the prototype of the slim, cisgendered woman with European features,<\/strong> is another sign that fashion is moving towards inclusion. Brands such as Savage x Fenty<\/a><\/strong>, ThirdLove<\/a><\/strong> and Chromat<\/a><\/strong> have listened to the needs of the younger generation. Betting on offering a wide range of sizes and showing models that vary in gender and body type.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While we celebrate all these great achievements towards a greater acceptance of diversity, we also have to denounce the long road ahead. The harsh reactions to paparazzi photos of Billie Eilish<\/a> in her typical oversized street clothes serve as evidence that Western culture still fears non-regulatory bodies. <\/strong>We are obsessed with beauty and physical appearance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Although there is an increasing visibility of the bodies, there is still a lack of leading roles for actresses of non-standard sizes. Although fashion or the press has begun to reflect diversity, the industry hasn’t done much to change the narrative.<\/strong> Plus size actresses are relegated to secondary roles such as Euphoria<\/i><\/a><\/strong> or High Fidelity<\/i>. We ask ourselves, when will media accept body diversity?<\/strong><\/p>\n
