A great example of performative diversity. Yes, she looks great, but she looks like every 25-year old model. If they want to chip away at ageist beauty standards, why not show a more typical 56-year old? https://twitter.com/PageSix/status/1283642785346859010
My point is that there's little to no true diversity in beauty/fashion/modeling. A black woman with the exact same features and body type of the European standard is not true diversity. Same for a 56-year old who looks 25. It's the exact same prototype.
You'd never know it from looking at the mainstream beauty industry, but a lot of people DO recognize the beauty in non-prototypical features...African features, bigger bodies, women whose bodies show the marks of childbearing, etc. Show more of that.
