Celebrities today have a much different standard than they did a few years back. What happened to well-known super models that had status like Tyra Banks, Naomi Cambell or Kate Moss? I feel like the only models people can name today are the Victoria’s Secret Angels. Sure, Tyra hosted a show, “America’s Next Top Model”, but unless you watched that show, there’s pretty much no way you remember who the winner was. What’s happened to the winners anyway?
I’m looking at ads in magazines and commercials on beauty products that were once dominated by high-end models are now full of actresses and singers. Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Drew Barimore are all over Neutrogena, L’Oreal and other beauty products. So, where have super models gone? I saw a Chanel commercial earlier that starred Natalie Portman in it. Is it the belief that using a known celebrity or actress will increase sales as opposed to using a model whose name people will not know?
It just seems like celebrities today are expected to act, sing, dance and perform. I’m sure a lot of this has to be attributed to what’s on TV today. With shows like Dancing with the Stars, it forces conventional actors and actresses to become a dancer and performer as well. Is it harder to become a celebrity today because of these standards? Models don’t seem to hold the same standard they used to.
