The demands on women to look perfect is often overwhelming and an impossible standard to reach, especially for those in the spotlight who also face further pressure from the media and even fans. These 5 stars refuse to give in and say they’d prefer to embrace their natural selves rather than put themselves through misery changing what is supposedly wrong with their looks. Having a healthy outlook on their appearance, these celebs would rather love what they look like naturally.

Jamie was told her silver hair was a terrible idea at the time: “Oh, I had people who were emphatic in their disapproval, insisting it would age me. Now they’re all eating crow and saying how right I was to do it.”
Jennifer loves her curves and doesn’t want to change them: “I like my body. For most of my adult life, my body hasn’t gone up or down, it’s remained the same, give or take 4 pounds. I have a butt, I have boobs, and I have a woman’s curves; there is no way I’d see them go to zero. I hate to look in a magazine and see a picture of a girl who looks so thin she looks unhappy and as if she just needs someone to give her a good meal.”
Patricia has often been told to fix her crooked teeth, but she has always thought it wouldn’t suit her: “I just didn’t want to look perfect. I didn’t want to have to change myself to be attractive. I didn’t think that was my responsibility.”
Sienna has embraced her natural self and doesn’t want to be miserable on a diet: “My cellulite wouldn’t look very good in a bikini. Let’s face it, my so-called fabulous shape is the result of very clever airbrushing – I have small boobs and cellulite. I don’t really exercise and I eat all the burgers I want. I do feel my metabolism slowing down [but] I’m lucky because I’m young. But I’d rather be lumpy and heavy than skinny and miserable.”
Tina would not change any of her so-called ‘flaws’: ”I would not trade any of these features..I wouldn’t trade the small thin-lipped mouth that makes me resemble my nephew. I wouldn’t even trade the acne scar on my right cheek, because that recurring zit spent more time with me in college than any boy ever did”.
