It is well known that Hollywood’s unattainable beauty standards have negative consequences. However, analysts claim that the industry continues to put pressure on consumers to adhere to a particular image.
In a recent interview with Bored Panda, celebrity life coach Dr. Patrick Wanis stated, “Hollywood needs to set beauty and body standards so that it has something to market and sell.”
According to the relationship and behavioral expert, the industry has produced the “illusion of inclusivity,” but Photoshop and other digital editing tools like photo filters still uphold unattainable beauty standards.
“The industry continues to push people to achieve an aesthetic that is unrealistic and frequently unachievable unless there is medical intervention or drastic modifications – enhancements,” he said, despite the fact that social media and Hollywood have promoted the idea of body positivity and diversity.
The body is also overlooked when it comes to beauty standards, in addition to the face.
According to Wanis, celebrities use “surgery, extreme fitness regimens, or digital alterations—photo filters and Photoshop” to attain specific bodily traits.
