Kardashians: An authentic look beyond the filters at the Met Gala
The Kardashians have gotten everyone so used to their retouched photos that any opportunity to see them without filters is a treat for fans. See what they looked like during preparations for the Met Gala.
On social media, where the "perfect beauty" cult dominates, photo editing has become the norm. Thanks to filters and applications, one can remove all imperfections, smooth skin, or adjust body proportions. Although this may seem like an innocent procedure at first glance, it significantly impacts how we perceive ourselves and others.
Indeed, there has been a slight shift towards naturalness, but filtered shots that bear little resemblance to reality still prevail on Instagram. Celebrities who habitually edit their photos play a significant role in propagating this trend. The effects of tinkering in Photoshop vary—from stretched facades to bent floor tiles to "disappearing" or "additional" body parts.
The Kardashians showed themselves without filters. Fans surprised
Among the stars who routinely edit their photos are the Kardashians. Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, Kylie, and their mom, Kris, unashamedly take advantage of technological advancements to look their best in photos. They often face criticism for a lack of authenticity and for setting an unrealistic standard of beauty that cannot be achieved without digital manipulation.
The Kardashians have already accustomed everyone to their retouched images so much that any chance to see them without filters is a real treat for fans. Recently, "Vogue" magazine posted a video of Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner's preparations for the Met Gala on TikTok. The recording shows how the celebrities appear "behind the scenes" of the grand fashion event. Most internet users are positively surprised.
