Do you prefer the beauty standards of female celebrities from the past or present?

Question

Notsocooly · Accepted Answer

What's classic beauty about? tiny eyebrows and tiny wrist... bad eyeliner, ridiculous hair. The trends back were not as flexible as they are now. Reading these responses everyone says classic.. but seems like everyone on here is very judgmental... just wants to be "original" or different.
Let's be honest if you took two women one dolled up like in old fashion look and modern day, who do you think people will have a softer eyes for? Not the pencil thin girl with a over sprayed bob... people will laugh, not admire her. They're gonna like the girl with long balayage hair that's got a thick body.
The people says things but their actions do not match up.

Yeah these are both very extreme examples. Back then women did not look like that, just a very select few did. And women today don't all have plastic running through their bodies. I prefer today's standards, because back then there was a lot of restrictions on what woman can and cannot wear/do with their hair/makeup. Today is a lot more open, and people get to express themselves.

I prefer a Audrey Hepburn a million times more then a Kardashian

Both and neither at the same time

emmily2396 · Answer

Classic, but some of the classic beauties were just make up. I don't get the hype about some actresses, they only look pretty because they were full of makeup. Some were beautiful though.

InTimoreDei · Answer

Modern day standards don't even come close to how glamorous the earlier eras were. This trend of using botox is destroying women's faces and makes everyone look the same. A lot of the classic beauties actually had uniqueness to them.

One of my favourites from the 1940's, Gene Tierney

Celebrities today don't even come close to how beautiful and classy as she was. The only one that I can think of is Anna Kendrick.

madhatters4 · Answer

i think that the "modern beauty" is not necessarily the perception or even the standard for all. i think even the past standard of beauty is not a one size fits all sort of thing.

i just don't really feel like we can measure the most famous movie stars of yesteryear and call that the "standard" vs a bunch of reality and pornstars and call them the "standard" of beauty.

it seems like a better barometer would be to look at the most famous movie/tv stars of today compared to the past...

all that said just answering your question certainly the women in option A are far more beautiful and sexy than option B

J2ohhhhh · Answer

The standards didn't change. It is still diamond face shape, almond shaped eyes and symmetry. If a girl has this features will be considered as beautiful even if she doesn't follow the trends, but if she doesn't have these she won't be considered as beautiful whatever makeup she has.

I don’t understand the adoration that peoples give to the actresses of the golden age of Hollywood. I even saw a video clip about depressed women in the 50’s and the comments were like “women these days were so classy! Omg!”. I understand that actresses before were probably prettier because cosmetic surgery wasn’t very common so they were naturally beautiful, but will we all going to forget that Marylyn Monroe was a fake blonde, that sucked both of the Kennedy’s brothers dicks, before killing herself? Still very glamourous?

brendon76 · Answer

Classic beauty was more real. Or at least I see it as having been more genuine and not focusing on one body part like large lips or a big round butt. Also it was a different time and era and the personalities were more refined and classic as well. That also translated into the beauty of those women.

laurenok · Answer

not an accurate representation of modern day beauty at all. yet MANY have told me i'm the most beautiful girl they've ever seen because I'm natural, don't wear a lot of makeup and still look attractive which is so rare to find these days. i hate the fake duck lipped, orange oompa loompa face trend going on right now.

morimeme1 · Answer

The askers personal attitude is showing with these pictures too much, choosing the best examples from the past and the worst from the present...

MollyTheOriginal · Answer

Don't really know how you can pick modern seeing those pictures, lol, but generally with a less extreme example of modern beauty, old fashioned still rates higher in my book. It was more natural, and people found beauty in their uniqueness. Now it seems that we have accepted a 'herd' version of beauty in society, and people will pay for more and more outlandish surgeries to attain that ideal.

motownplayer2000 · Answer

I don’t give a damn about either... both are hideous and ugly. Just give me a girl that cares about impressing me the way I like.. and dressing for me.. fuck the celebrities and all that shit about looking up to them for fashion.. that’s for people that have nothing better to do with there lives then to follow someone that just like to get attention

Caunsos · Answer

I love how choose you modern beauty to be 3 women with so much botox done you'll need to get a toxicology report done every time you kiss them and women like Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce, Priyanka Chopra, Emma Watson, Kat Dennings, or Rihanna for example.

windingroad · Answer

Well the beauty standards today are all sexualized based on the ideals of models and the porn industry, and frankly the average person is not like that. Look at any model on IG, it's always huge fake boobs, big ass, minimal clothes, rock hard abs, etc

lomimore · Answer

The only thing i like these days is that females who are bigger/thicker are out there too and you don't have to be size one to go far in the entertainment industry i guess everything everythings else classic is better.

Guyeverywhere · Answer

Today’s standard is mixed with politics, now the whole world advertising for ass, gays and lesbians, very good advertising for condomes, I expect in a few years they will invent some thing to close vagina, just to prevent population growth
As they invented HIV in last century
And spread in the regions they want to disappear their population like Africa

luvstoned4him · Answer

classic beauty is timeless so of course I will go with option A. side note : Kylie Jenner looks so old in the pic below.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Classic beauty of course. Plus the time has changed and beauty doesn't have a face anymore for me, the beauty is an act and it's not a face.

Pink2000 · Answer

I lovvvvve classic beauty. Every one was so beautiful.

Anonymous · Answer

I prefer the older style but it seems many men don’t. If you don’t look overdone then you’re not hot or sexy. I don’t understand it because those women don’t look remotely the same without all the excess

ragingumbreon · Answer

At least in the past they weren't all basically walking lumps of plastic and fish scales that suck dick for a quarter.

AlexanderBrunnrgaard · Answer

That's difficult to say since beauty fashion has had countless of different periods of standards and looks. But I can safely say that the example above on modern beauty is ugly as heck.

Kurαȷ · Answer

I prefer the modern day beauty standards because I'm not a virtue signalling prick. Women look objectively better these days.

inmensus · Answer

I love how you chose nice pictures for classic beauty and the worst pictures for modern beauty. Biased, huh? Lol
Anyway, there's beauty in both generations. There are good and bad aspects in both of them.

genericname85 · Answer

neither. i prefer natural beauty. i mean classic beauty meant "perm wave and a mask of makeup".  Modern beauty means a ton of makeup, silicone and botox. neither of those are appealing.

Guanfei · Answer

The past. They were glamorous, classy, sexy. Most modern celebrities are vulgar, fake.

I prefer classic beauty. There is a level of classiness that is missing with many modern women my age and younger.

Dchrls78104 · Answer

I once heard a coworker say this, and I found it interesting: "In the past there used to be beautiful women. Now there are beautified women."

hhues · Answer

I dont think your modern beauty pics are accurately representative of what modern day beauty is. I still prefer classic, but I think you are very obviously biased based on the photos used.

_乃尺OЩ刀_TITI · Answer

Pretty sure that "modern beauty standard" isn't the standard at all.

Ámayas_20 · Answer

You seem to prefer classic as those girls look horrible and are in no way modern standards.

Anonymous · Answer

A bit biased on the 'modern day' beauty standards. But regardless, I like the past beauty standards more.

Anonymous · Answer

Classic for sure. I don’t know what happened to make some people change their appearance so much instead of just naturally enhancing it.

Your selection of footage is clearly biased like CNNs view on Putin.

Classic beauty. But let's not ignore that the examples chosen for modern beauty are fucking dreadful and not at all representative of any kind of beauty.

Past past 😂 definitely past. Fuck what chicks look like nowadays. 😂

Anonymous · Answer

Classic. Modern "beauty" makes women look like they came from a factory, they all look the same, they all have same interests, they are all equally dumb.

Modern is way too vulgar to be considered as beauty for me.
