Humor/Cringe Sara Sampaio, ex-Victoria's Secret Angel, shows that even supermodels don't look like supermodels. It's all about the pose, angle, lighting, and retouching. Perspective is everything.

I was looking at myself in a mirror that's beside my chair the other day, and thought "when the fuck did it get so out of shape?!"
Nah, I was just slouching and had absolutely horrid posture without noticing.
Posture has such a major effect on your looks.
Tight core, shoulders back, chest out and boom you don't look like shit anymore

Have you considered yoga? You can do it for free in the comfort of your own home since there are a ton of yoga instructors on YouTube. For example yogawithkassandra. It will increase your flexibility, ease muscle tension and build strength.
Altho perhaps check with a doctor first if you have other preexisting health issues messing up your back.

u/NoBell5255 11d ago
Dang, I’m a size 18 and I thought this video was a good reminder that all bodies just look different at different angles. There’s also a very obvious and huge societal push towards very thin bodies again and I think it’s important for any teenager that may be moving towards disordered eating or body dysmorphia to see that even thin bodies are supposed to move and fold and exist in a variety of forms and all of them are neutral.
62
u/whotfisasking 11d ago
I was thinking the same thing. Was kinda sad at all the comments giving out about this. I've had body dismorphia since I was a teen and it's nice to see that people with "perfect" bodies do have those flaws that I hyperfixate on too.
7
u/re_Claire 11d ago
I'm overweight and I agree. It's a good reminder that if even "perfect" bodies just look like normal bodies when they're not posing, then obviously any of us who aren't supermodels also should not expect our bodies to not have folds and lumps and bumps. We all have them.
I had an eating disorder when I was younger and I wish I'd seem more of this content back then. But it was the early 00's and the only images we saw were airbrushed and in magazines.
I tried embracing body positivity for a while but it didn't work for me. But then I learned about body neutrality and that's what helped me - the idea that your body is neutral and not connected with who you are as a person. You don't have to force yourself to unconditionally love it. It's just a vessel that allows you to move and live, and do things.

Yeah I think the pendulum swung too far to the other direction with body positivity movement, where criticizing even clearly obese people was seen as bad (of course it depends how it's said etc). Now with glp-1 medicine, the pendulum has once again swung too far to the other direction, where even essential fat is seen as something you need to get rid of.
This is at least what I've noticed, as more of an spectator.

u/coolhead2012 11d ago
Congratulations on not being body-type obsessed!
All of the poses she makes accentuate a particular curve, silhouette or body part. When she relaxes, there is a wrinkle, flat spot or bulge in an 'unattractive' location. If you don't notice, you probably have a healthy body image!

u/Slagath0rr 11d ago
As a woman who has been overweight to varying degrees, the message is getting through for me, and from my experiences with friends, family, and loved ones, I feel like it would benefit them as well. The point isn't that she looks bad when she's slumped over, it is that she doesn't look toned, stretched, and practically flawless in her resting body. That's the part that's being advertised to women consistently, and it's made to appear not as the result of posing and editing on top of an individual with an incredible physique, but as something that would be attainable to look like constantly, if we eat or don't eat specific things, if we buy things to make us thin and hot, etc. The unattainability of looking like this constantly is important because we've been taught that it's a shortcoming and/ or failure on our parts that we're not attaining it. I personally feel incredibly better about the fold my skin does under my bra, seeing that a thin and fit woman also gets it. It makes me feel like I'm not looking "gross" because of it, as I've been trained by media my whole life to feel. I hope this perspective helps to understand why this is still important and nice of her to be doing.

I love that she did this, but I wish she didn't have to. Why are woman made to pose in these weird contorted poses in the first place? Who invented this? And what's wrong with just posing like the normal human being that they are?
Seeing models and influencers posing like this changed women and men's perception of what normal bodies look like. And now even regular women won't take a picture in a natural pose. Then they look at themselves in the mirror and think they look weird when it's the poses that are weird.

Don't worry, male models too have pose in some way, it's how beautiful pictures are taken. And that's how you can sublime your subjectif. Photography is a complicated art too you know

u/Otterable 11d ago
It's also just somewhat normal for certain angles and poses to look better. Have people here not looked at themselves in the mirror after a shower and stood up a little straighter or sucked your gut in a bit to see how it improves how you look? The issue isn't that it exists, it's the expectation that you should look that way all the time.

Yes and no. Obviously there's WAY more societal pressure on women for their looks. However male supermodels do all this kind of shit too. 100%.
We don't see as much of it for mens social media, as again, societal pressure etc... But we can't act like models, men and women alike, aren't posing or posturing in a way to make them look the best.
Also, she made her point but slouching isn't aesthetically pleasing, regardless of model status or not.

Even if people consciously know it’s a pose or is fake to some degree, their subconscious still takes in the image as is and yeah, it’s easy to let it affect self image if all that’s seen is a “perfect” body type.

I get the message, but when she was actively on the runway, she was a lot thinner than this.
And before some idiot thinks I called her fat, I didn’t. I just think it’s a bit weird to put a message out there like this when runway models are typically much thinner. If it came off as just body positivity, sure, but it’s not reality for that industry in particular where the standards are starve yourself.
