This Is What The “Ideal” Female Body Looks Like In 15 Different Countries

By Kelsey Stoskopf
Diana Indiana

A UK online pharmacy took a difficult topic and turned it into a project to open our eyes as to what the beauty standards are and how they vary across the world. From the United States, to China, to Venezuela, the differences in beauty standards are shocking. What do you think of this project?

Italy

While the United States may have one form of the ideal female body, many other countries have their own ideal, and it's something completely different.

Colombia

No matter where you are or who you're with, ideals change between cultures, environments, societies and much more. 

Egypt

This project, called "Perceptions of Perfection," looks at one body and how it is altered in different countries to fit the countries' ideal for a woman's body. 

Netherlands

The goal of the project was to show unrealistic body standards and the pressures they cause around the world. 

Romania

Designers from each of the countries altered the woman's body in order to fit their society's perception of beauty.

Mexico

Some altered hair color, skin tone and body measurements.

China

Others altered the woman so much, the original woman was almost unrecognizable. 

South Africa

It is interesting to see how different and similar beauty standards are across the world.

Peru

And to learn the sad reality that these standards don't just face women in the United States. 

Serbia

But they haunt women in countries like Serbia…

Spain

And Spain too.  

Venezuela

Many countries greatly enhanced the womanly features on the model.

Ukraine

And others even changed the color of the lingerie and shoes she was wearing to make her more appealing. 

U.S.A.

Is this what we're supposed to look like as women in the United States?!

Syria

"Perceptions of Perfection" shows us the sad truth, there's always a definition of beauty, no matter where we go.
