Gucci’s Post

Audrey Hepburn once said, The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows. This sentiment speaks to both men and women about the essence of true beauty and personal growth. Men, we can learn impactful lessons from this: 1. True strength lies in nurturing our souls. 2. Authenticity and care are foundational to genuine masculinity. 3. Passion is not just an attribute but a way of living and growing with age. Let's embrace and reflect on these values. #TheFreedomArchitect™ #DesignYourFreedom

Want all eyes on you? But instead some woman walks into the room looking like Amal Clooney. All eyes go to her. She walks in looking effortlessly stylish. She's got the perfect length dress, the perfect jewelry and killer heels. You didn't see anything like this when you ran to the mall the night before, desperate to find something to wear to this conference. You just want to slink out the back door. You know you're supposed to be networking but you can't stop second guessing your outfit choice and feeling embarrassed that you chose the wrong clothes yet again. Ask me how I know. I used to feel this same way. Once I learned how to dress my body shape and create a solid foundation of powerhouse pieces in my closet that easily mixed and matched together, my confidence soared. I no longer spend any more mental energy worrying about what to wear. When you take the time to build out a powerhouse wardrobe on the front end, you can effortlessly throw on a look that makes you feel like a million bucks. This is the powerhouse style effect, and you can have it too. Now is the time! How I can help: 1. I style female attorneys for success in my one-on-one signature style service. 2. I speak to law firm women initiatives and female lawyer organizations on utilizing style as a tool of empowerment. P.S. What outfit do you wear that makes you feel like a powerhouse? For me, it’s my red capelet.

Embracing Self-Love and Representation In a world that often overlooks diversity, let's pause to celebrate the beauty that exists in every size. Despite the lack of size-inclusive marketing, We stand firm in the belief that self-love knows no boundaries. It's time to break free from limited beauty standards and demand representation for every BODY, especially in beauty and marketing. Our uniqueness deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated. Join us in embracing the power of self-love and advocating for size inclusivity in the beauty industry. Let's rewrite the narrative and ensure that everyone feels seen, acknowledged, and empowered. #LargerLuxury #InclusiveBeauty #SelfLoveRevolution #RepresentationMatters #EmbraceYourBeauty [Video description: A serene video capturing a woman meditating in a tranquil field, adorned with a soft and relaxed expression.]

What have the Met Gala and women's health got in common? The unequal power balance of pornography...and it's stopping women getting the help they need. The coverage (!) for the 2024 Met Gala naked dresses trend has been huge. And it worries me. Because it feels like it’s connected with the devaluing and pornographisation of women's bodies that gets in the way of healthcare needs. What do you think? (1) Headlines such as "The Met Gala red carpet's most revealing naked dresses worn by celebrities" really mean worn by celebrities who are WOMEN. Where are the near-naked men's outfits on the red carpet? I am all for celebrating body confidence, female sexual wellbeing, female sexual confidence - all crucial elements of women’s health. And yet the inequality of coverage - both media and clothing-wise - means that I question whether we are so much valuing and spotlighting women's bodies within a limited sexual framing, that we make them invisible as functioning bodies with unique healthcare needs. (2) If we want to truly celebrate women's bodies, we need to value them and make them visible as amazingly complex biological systems that carry us through life, and are built on a cycle of hormonal changes in an arc through life and through every menstrual month. As human bodies that need different research. As human bodies that produce valuable menstrual fluids, placentas, and hormonal insights that are different to those of the male. As human bodies that have different gut health microbiomes built on oestrogen (hello, estrobolome). As bodies that can have babies and need different support and medical care pre, during and post delivery. If women's bodies are so often seen as sexualised and worthy of attention only when they are naked, we reduce our chances of shifting the dial in women's health. How can we ensure our bodies are considered not just as stirring and beautiful to look at, but as complex systems that need to work well? (3) Many femtech teams are regularly censored by social media algorithms, by brand 'safety' concerns about using words or images like vagina, vulva, prolapse, periods, nipples, breasts, menstrual blood, you name it. Because they are tagged as pornographic, adult material. I worry that near-naked dresses on the red carpet are actually an example of the culture that causes women's bodies - and the words that describe them - to be pornographised and banned. And it stops women getting the health education and care they need. Show me the hat like a naked brain blasting out creative ideas. The belt shaped like a glowing uterus changing over the month. The catsuit with pulsing pain LEDs for conditions women get more than men...

What is SIMPLICITY to you? Simplicity to me doesn't revolve around being a graceful girl intertwined with fine gestures, wearing non-revealing clothes, and speaking in a soft tone of voice. Sometimes, being confined to its tacit meaning brings narrow view and deprives its potentiality. For instance, a girl who wants to try on new clothing style might thought as she's leaping from being who she was. Worse is when she's being judged for the changes that she has bravely opened and navigated. Worst is when people starting to embark a grapevine story. To me, she was just trying to unlock her new preference for upstyling her looks. Simplicity of a woman to me is having the mindset of bravery transformation but still truly stays to her heartful desires. She knows what she wants and she's ready whenever she's ready. Simplicity to me is an inner beauty that has been nutured inside and reflecting its radiant glow outside. Yet, others might find its meaning elusive to define when only focusing on demeanor. If the definition of Simplicity to you is superficial and that drives you to an easy conclusion, then I suggest you might be needing new lens to better magnify your judgement to a woman. Her SIMPLICITY doesn't make her easy. #womenempowerment #feminineenergy #women'shealth #women'sstyleisnotforsomeoneelse'sseyes

Excellent article from Gloria!

Such 👇 Top-10-beautiful-women posts generate a lot of debate on what beauty standards should be.. whether fair, thin, dark, curvy, etc. I have a completely different point of view. Why do we not see posts of "Top-10-beautiful-men"? Men have their lists too, but it is defined more around desirability on a wide set of parameters, not just beauty. So, here's the thing. Until such time, women have to compete on some list of beauty Until such time, "my beautiful wife" is the best compliment a husband can give (and wives too impose on their husbands to say) Until such time, "blonde" and "bimbo" only refer to women It really doesn't matter if we manage to push in parameters like.. "Dusky girls are beautiful too" "Older women are beautiful too" "Curvy women are beautiful too" Why is "beauty" (no matter what the definition) such a parameter for women at every age and stage of their life? Despite the zillion things they can become as human beings, why is beauty a mandatory adjective that needs to be associated with women, for their existence to be validated? It doesn't matter how generous, fair and broad "beauty standards" become, the question we should really be asking is.. why should it be a standard at all? We never discuss if bald men.. men with paunch.. unkempt men.. old men... should or should not be considered handsome.. do we? Because it simply doesn't matter when it concerns men. "Beauty" is not a parameter men are measured against. Until such time we stop being the sole bearer of this mantle of "beautiful" and women themselves don't liberate their kind from this burden we will forever be (voluntarily) stuck fighting losing (and unnecessary) battles like.. "beautiful women can be smart too" "you are beautiful.. but not too beautiful for this job" "you are too beautiful.. to be taken seriously for this job" "you are not beautiful.. you have work harder" "you are so beautiful.. did you really have to work for this promotion?" Yes, a thing of beauty is a joy forever. So let every human being.. all genders.. share the responsibility of looking and being beautiful (and be shoved into some Top 10 list if it serves humanity so much). Why should women have all the fun? #equality #womeninbusiness #genderdiversity

Recently author of Sundressed and Guardian Journalist Lucianne Tonti "are the days of dressing for our figures behind us?" this is part of one of the in-depth answers I gave her: I think we're at the top of the cycle actually where that body type ideal is going to change and future generations are going to look back and say, “did women really starve  themselves to be skinny?" Just the same way as we look back and say, 'did women really endure corsets?” So, the first advice I would give anyone on dressing right for their body type is to take a moment to consider what right is for you. Then use your self-awareness to identify and choose the right people (not things) to help you.
