2019 Positive Body Image Moments

Below are some body positivity moments, that have impacted society for this year. I think it would be a really good idea to include some of these, in some way, into my magazine.

                 

• This is a celebrity, who goes by the name of "Lizzo". She was on the cover of the British magazine entitled, "Vogue". She is printed in 3D, and dressed in closed that showcases her body, not hide it. 

• The Victoria's Secret fashion show gets canceled due to it not being diverse enough as far as race and body images and types. 

• Haarnum Kaar, (aka "Beard Lady") is a model who has Polysystic Ovary Syndrome, which is why she has a beard. She gave a speech about self acceptance, which was particularly about the LGBTQ+ Community. 

     

• Jennifer Lopes, "JLo" shows that age, is just in fact a number. JLo is 50 years old, and walked in the Versace fashion show (shown left). The dress was a recreation of a dress she wore 20 years ago, when she was just 30 years old. (shown right)

Below are some images that portray a positive message to all women.

• allow people to not feel sorry for themselves, and feel good about their bodies. 
• getting people to understand that every body id ideal, and that there is no wrong way to have a body.
