The Evolution of Beauty Standards
Beauty ideals have changed significantly over time: Ancient Civilizations: Greeks and Romans admired symmetry and proportion. Renaissance Era: Voluptuous figures were considered beautiful, representing wealth and fertility. 1920s Flapper Style: A boyish figure became the desired look. 1950s Hourglass Figure: Inspired by icons like Marilyn Monroe. 1990s-2000s Thin Ideal: Supermodel culture glorified extreme thinness. Present-Day Diversity Movement: A shift toward body positivity and inclusivity. These trends highlight how subjective and ever-changing beauty standards are, proving they should not define one’s self-worth.
