Contrary to the perception that the Kardashian-Jenner family’s photo sessions are all fun and games, the reality is that they involve an immense amount of work behind the scenes.
Kim Kardashian recently exemplified this dedication when she endured the chilly winds on a Malibu beach for an advertising campaign featuring her brand Skims’ new collection.
While photographers and assistants sought warmth in jackets and sweatshirts, Kim bravely posed in a pink bikini, pushing herself to maintain the beach vibe despite the weather.
The candid shots taken during the shoot caught the attention of Daily Mail paparazzi, who opted not to use Photoshop unlike the commissioned photographers typically employed by the star family.
These unretouched and imperfect photos were embraced by the publication’s readers, who praised Kim’s figure and questioned the need for excessive photo editing.
It seems that Kim and her sisters should embrace the idea that even as Instagram queens, they can proudly display their imperfections. An inspiring example of this self-love approach is the widely admired Selena Gomez, whose social media presence has become a powerful manifesto for accepting oneself just as they are.
