Figuring out what makes them feel most confident about their own bodies, these 5 stars have spoken on finding that positivity when it comes to looking at their own figures. Some of these celebs think women too often look at only what they don’t like about themselves, and they should be accepting their unique beauty and finding what they love about their shape instead. Embracing what they have, these stars have found the key to unlocking their own body confidence.
- Elle MacPherson
Elle has learned to accept her body as a woman: “We are born with our genes but how we present, that is up to us. That’s why I work better than I did 30 years ago. I still have the same genetics but I have changed as a woman. I am interested in different things and I’m more confident in my body now. I am more confident being me.”
- Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer believes it’s all about being positive: “I know it’s hard for women to tap into that feeling of self-worth. We need to get the message out that you are valued, you are a goddess and don’t forget that. It’s about stopping those thoughts of negativity and insecurity. I think changing that and really recognising yourself triggers control of how you feel, so you’re able to go, ‘No, I’m awesome man, I’m amazing, there’s nobody like me.’ I think that’s the big secret to body confidence.”
- Kelly Osbourne
Kelly thinks women need to find what they like about themselves: “Women are so unforgiving of themselves. We don’t recognise our own beauty, because we’re too busy comparing ourselves to other people… but I can tell you even the most beautiful girls in the world have felt insecure. Just seeing the pressure my friends Kim Kardashian and Kate Moss are under makes me never want to be the prettiest in the room. There is no such thing as perfection. Try this: look in the mirror. Find one thing you like… think, ‘Well, I’ve got this, and a lot of people don’t.’ You have to look at what you do have.”
Khloe has always loved her curves: “I’d always be in tight dresses. In my head I did not think I was ever fat. Other people did, but I didn’t think I was – ever! Because of my family base, I always accepted my natural shape or what I thought it was. I appreciate it now and I want to help other people.”
- Lena Dunham
Lena has learned to love her figure: ”My parents both have really healthy attitudes about their own bodies but also about the range of things that can be beautiful. But they also just always made me feel pretty and cool and smart, even in the moments when I have known – and still know – that my body wasn’t fitting into a traditional Hollywood idea of the female body.”
