“Soft, curvy and womanly figures ruled early in 1910.”
We last featured this video, which offers an insightful look at how beauty notions have changed over the past 100 years.
Using illustrations, website Greatist has created a series of graphics to depict how society defines what makes an “ideal” female body, and how these beauty standards change quickly over each decade.
In the early 1910s, women raced to achieve “The Gibson Girl” figure—featuring a round, soft body gathered to form a looping figure-8— but the trend soon turned to favor a flat-chested bust and small hips, which were all the rage in the 1920s.
Fast forward to 2010, and it seems that the media is endorsing women with curvaceous bottoms. For instance, “Nicki Minaj and J.Lo release their tributes to the almighty buttock: Anaconda and Booty, respectively”.
With these illustrations, Greatist aims to remind women that “the media’s idea of beauty is subjective and changes, but confidence is always in style”.
