Society’s standards of beauty have shifted throughout the decades. From Marilyn Monroe’s era of fair skin and blonde hair in the 1950s to the current trend of voluptuous figures exemplified by celebrities like Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian, ideal beauty ideals have evolved. Research from the University of Texas suggests that the 21st-century ideal woman stands at 1.68 meters, with measurements of 99 cm bust, 63 cm waist, and 91 cm hips.

Kelly Brooks, a British model and actress, embodies these measurements and has overcome previous rejections for being “too plump.” Beauty standards vary, but the 99-63-91 body type aligns with studies indicating that men are more drawn to curvier women, associated with youthfulness and fertility.

In the modeling industry, skinny models are chosen to showcase clothing, ensuring the focus remains on the garments, not their bodies. Ultimately, beauty is diverse and subjective, and everyone should embrace their unique characteristics.
