Celebs in fewer clothes over time

[greenjumper3]

I have been watching 'back in time for school 'and taken an interest in the changes through time and even became nostalgic of 80s and 90s school time.

However also looking at a magazine cover from my childhood I was drawn to the fact that Kylie is fully clothed and actually wears fewer clothes now later in life. Little mix at the brits also wearing little clothes.

Do you think celebs wearing as many clothes as Kylie's outfit would sell a magazine today?

I know times change for good and bad but in this case not for the better or am I wrong?

You're welcome.

Tiffany and Belinda are a guilty pleasure of mine.

I’m always impressed when I see Katy B on tv and she’s always clothed. She looks lovely too.
It’s ridiculous that it’s noticed more these days when celebs are clothed normally.

Not everyone is wearing less clothes spice girls are definitely wearing more.

Empowerment doesn't come with taking off your clothes.

Maybe not but you get more twitter followers and sell more records with the 'opps, you can see the bottom of my tits' photos.

The OP is correct I think, for women at least. Though it applies well beyond music, and enables the clothing retailers to sell clothes with less material and more cheaply made, contributing to fashion being the second worst environmental polluters after oil.

Mysogynistic rap and the so-called music peddled by the spawn of the devil Simon Cowell have contributed. Pete Waterman and his co-producers probably had a better respect for women.

I don't think celebs stripping off for photos is a new thing or a female thing. I'll just leave this 70s Bruce Springsteen here.

This is a perennial subject. There always will be those on the sex/nudity end of the continuum, no those who aren't. And those who have been both at different points in fashion.

And those who take the piss of it all (LMFAO, when the blokes were down to smiley pants, but the women were wearing more)

It's not blokes buying Little Mix records is it though?

I think there was a massive shift in the mid-90s towards women (not just celebrities, but normal young/teenage women) wearing skimpier outfits.

I was in my early 20s and suddenly the teenagers were out in the daytime wearing the kind of clothes I wouldn't even have worn out clubbing when I was a teenager (and I had some fairly skimpy clubbing clothes).

Not sure whether this was fashion, or celebrity influence, or pornification, or what. It seems to have been a British thing - I had some friends from other European countries who were shocked by what the girls were out wearing. I remember saying to them that this was quite a recent thing.

I always wonder if little mix have shares in canesten. They are very fond of leather or pvc pants/leotard.

I do think things changed. It's expected now for female performers to essentially perform in their underwear. I can't imagine how much pressure that puts on you to keep thin, but curvy.
