Hollywood’s beauty standards are pretty straight-forward when it comes to women. We could have lost dozens of stunning and talented actresses only because they were not ‘pretty enough’ to a certain bunch of people. Talent, charm, endurance, and wit are the qualities that should matter most, but many women still face a lot of criticism if their appearance is not of “Hollywood quality”, whatever that is. We could have lost Meryl Streep! And what would the ‘Hunger Games’ look like without Jennifer Lawrence playing the lead?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Many consider this stylish confident woman not beautiful. The Maxim magazine even named her the ‘Unsexiest Woman Alive’. But did it stop her from making a brilliant career? Not at all! Sarah Jessica Parker is a successful actress that has starred in ‘Sex and the City’ and a bunch of successful movies. Apart from appearing in ‘I Don’t Know How She Does It’, the actress has launched an exclusive shoe collection for Nordstrom named ‘SJP’. Not bad for an ‘ugly duckling’!
Reese Witherspoon
You’d think that the overconfident star of ‘Legally Blonde’ shouldn’t have had problems with beauty, out of all things. But that’s where you are wrong! Before getting into the filming biz, Reese Witherspoon has had her fair share of rejection with reasoning being, ‘You are not pretty enough’. She was not tall enough, not smart enough, or not thin enough. But Reese Witherspoon is a tough cookie and she never gave up!
Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence became a real icon of style and hilarious humor after the ‘Hunger Games’ hit the big screen. She’s straightforward, witty and doesn’t really give a damn about what people say about her. After the ‘Hunger Games’, many criticized her for not being ‘hungry’ enough, meaning she was too fat for the role. But who cares what they say? Jennifer Lawrence has an amazing personality and is talented enough to land spectacular roles no matter what anyone says.
