In the fast-paced world of social media, it's not uncommon for celebrities to fall victim to cruel and unwarranted trolling. And this time, it was Kylie Jenner who faced the brunt of it. The 26-year-old beauty mogul made headlines during Paris Fashion Week, where she stunned alongside her daughter Stormi, her mother Kris, and her sister Kim Kardashian.
Kylie's fashion choice for the prestigious Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2024 show was a sheer white dress with a sweetheart neckline, exuding effortless laidback luxury. However, as is often the case, trolls emerged from the virtual depths, ready to criticize and belittle.
Comments flooded in, with some comparing Kylie to a 'rich beautiful 45-year-old lady' and others claiming she looked tired and emotionless, questioning her age. Some even went as far as comparing her to actor Cillian Murphy. But fans of the star weren't having any of it.
They quickly came to Kylie's defense, praising her ethereal look and calling out the uncalled-for criticisms. One fan particularly pointed out the double standards women face when it comes to aging, stating, 'Everyone that is calling Kylie Jenner out for having skin that they deem as 'old for her age' is proof that women cannot age without being discarded and labeled as expired. We do not hold these same beliefs to men, and it is incredibly frustrating to see.'
Others echoed these sentiments, expressing their exhaustion with society's narrow beauty standards. They emphasized that aging is a natural process and that women should not be expected to fit a specific mold dictated by societal pressures. The scrutiny placed on Kylie's appearance only serves to perpetuate these unrealistic expectations.
One individual highlighted the impact of photo editing on our perception of beauty, stating, 'What’s wild is she looks normal, but y’all are so used to Facetune that you forget it's perfectly normal to have shadows on your face when 100 different cameras and 100 different flashes are on your face.'
This isn't the first time Kylie Jenner has been vocal about beauty standards. On an episode of 'The Kardashians,' she discussed the influence they have and the importance of using that power responsibly. She revealed her personal struggles with insecurities and emphasized the need for self-love and acceptance. Kylie debunked misconceptions about extensive plastic surgery, clarifying that she has only had fillers and emphasizing her desire for everyone to love themselves.
In a world where social media can be both a blessing and a curse, it is crucial to remember that celebrities are also human beings. Behind the glitz and glamour, they face the same insecurities and judgments as everyone else. It is essential to treat them with empathy and kindness, rather than tearing them down.
As fans continue to support Kylie Jenner, hopefully, this incident will serve as a reminder that beauty comes in many forms, and aging is a natural part of life. Let's celebrate the diversity and individuality of each person and remember that no one deserves to be the target of baseless and hurtful criticism.
