Sara Sampaio Showing Off!

I recently watched a pretty in depth instagram story of Sara Sampaio going on and on about her insecurities about her body, or her changing body as she gets older.

I guess people were leaving judgemental comments on her social media and it upset her enough to go on a rant. The gist of it is that I am sure she was so stoked when she got the Victoria's Secret contract, probably the first Portuguese model used by the brand, and it was a big deal, even knowing that the brand used exceptionally special women who had unbelievable bodies to sell their merchandise. Meaning, the very brand that made her, is the same brand that helped perpetuate these body ideals, and the same brand that gave people expectations for how a model is supposed to look, or age, compared to her earlier work.

What made it more ridiculous, is that the model still looks amazing, her body still "banging" so her talking about her insecurities, is hard to take seriously. Sure we can always be better, but a huge brand pays her to help sell their lingerie with her body, clearly she's doing alright.

It is possible that I misinterpreted her rant and I am sure she's aware that she still looks hot even if she's a bit different than she was 5 years ago but when you look like this, maybe the body positivity, body empowerment angle should be kept for close friends only, because to the rest of us...girl's looking great!
