Selena Gomez boasts of curves in a bikini and sends a forceful message
The actress and singer has shown her body without retouching
We are at the beginning of a new era. Celebrities have tired of always looking perfect and today, more than ever, they defend real beauty. In recent months we have seen how many actresses, singers, models, athletes, influencers ... have joined the 'body possitive' movement by sharing their most natural photos with which they show that they are also human.
They have definitely said goodbye to filters and excessive touch-ups, ending once and for all with that mistaken thought that they have no wrinkles, no pimples, no extra pounds, no cellulite, no dark circles, no frizzy hair ... The last in hitting the table and saying 'enough' has been Selena Gomez, who has starred in a posing in a bikini that has gone around the world.
The 28-year-old American singer and actress has created a collection of swimwear for the brand La'Mariette and who better than her to model with her own designs. "What I love about this brand is that it celebrates women who love their bodies unconditionally," she says in a message that she has shared to show the images of this campaign that she is so proud of. Photos of her have gone viral and millions of people around the world have thanked her for showing herself untouched.
"You are a role model", "You do not know how much it means to us that you show your impressive body naturally", "We are very proud of you", "You are unique", "Thank you Selena, we needed it", "Wow, she did that she is a real woman "or" Many should follow your example ", are some of the comments that have been dedicated to her. The photos of the protagonist of The Wizards of Waverly Place have not been more successful, however, they have not been without some controversy.
And it is that many have wondered why Selena has not published all the images of the campaign and has only limited herself to sharing this one, in which she appears showing off her curves with one of the swimsuits that she has designed. "Please, you should post them on your account", "Why don't you want to upload the others?", "I don't understand, if you're proud I should post them all", "I'd love to see these photos on your profile" ... their fans reviewed.
For the protagonist of Monte Carlo or Spring breakers this pose has a lot of meaning, since she has not always had confidence in herself. It must be remembered that Selena has spoken on many occasions about how self-conscious she felt about her body and how she was affected by the criticism she received by being in the spotlight constantly. "The Beauty Myth: An obsession with physical perfection that traps the modern woman in an endless cycle of despair, insecurity, and self-hatred as she tries to meet society's impossible definition of perfect beauty. I chose to take care of myself because I want, not to prove anything to anyone, "was the forceful message he posted in March 2018.
The comments about his physical change began long before, when his body changed drastically after he was diagnosed with lupus in 2015. In one interview, the actress explained what was the reason for her weight gain: the treatment she received for the disease, added to her high blood pressure and kidney problems. However, she never imagined that she would receive negative comments for it. "My weight changes from one month to the next (...) If I'm honest, these kinds of comments affected me a lot," she said. At that time she decided to distance herself, put aside social networks and decrease her public appearances, however, now that several years have passed, it seems that Selena is more proud than ever of her body and does not care what others may say .
This alliance of Selena is not accidental, since the interpreter of such well-known songs as Hands to myself, The heart wants what it wants or Dance with me fully agrees with the philosophy of the firm. As can be read on the La'Mariette website, "it is an inclusive swimwear brand that promotes self-esteem and acceptance." It was founded by Theresa Mingus and Morgan Brutocao "to make all women feel safe and comfortable", which is why they have sizes ranging from XS to XXL. "A woman who exudes confidence. She does not compete with others, she empowers herself. She is strong. She is imperfect. She is beautiful," they defend. In Selena's collection there is a swimsuit (100 euros), a top (46 euros), and two models of bikinis that can be combined in different ways (around 42 euros).
