Every red carpet or public event attended by celebrities puts a lot of pressure on the supposed image they are going to project. All eyes are on their bodies, their faces, gestures and even expressions. Everything has to be perfect, idyllic, like something out of a photoshop session.
But the reality of these women -because yes, this pressure is infinitely greater in the female sex- is far from what is projected on a red carpet. Extreme diets the days before, exercise routines without ceasing, aesthetic and even medical treatments for a single photo that will be published and after a few days it will be forgotten.
Adriana Lima, one of the most iconic Victoria's Secret models, has suffered from this aesthetic pressure for many years. Some will say that she was paid for that, to be perfect at all times and during her years as a model she was like that. Once removed, things changed.
She became pregnant three times and her body, like the rest of the mortals, changed. She gained a few kilos of weight that she did not lose after giving birth and, therefore, she was harshly criticized by those who wanted to continue seeing that statuesque body that she boasted in Victoria's Secret.
In the last edition of the Cannes Film Festival, the former model posed pregnant with a long dress full of saffron-colored openings. She fearlessly showed off her new body and showed the changes she had experienced, breaking taboos about the pregnancy period.
A year later, she has once again stepped on the most elegant carpet of the year without fear of criticism, enhancing her body and showing herself without artifice. With an imposing black strapless dress and a large yellow bow that ended in a tail, from the firm Tamara Ralph, the Brazilian model wanted to normalize her new image with a pose that will surely promote body positivity in Hollywood and elsewhere. of the world.
