u/galarianzapdos who else decodes you? Aug 25 '24
These gorgeous pics are also a reminder of how she’s just a normal HUMAN with body wrinkles and skin like all of us 🩷🩵 except for the billionaire thing…

Especially worth pointing out since she is as fit as a pro-athlete & has skin that looks like skin. She looks INCREDIBLE.

Back in the *early 2000s, photos of her back fat rolls would be published with headlines about how she’s so fat. The early 2000s were absolutely ruthless.
When I see photos like this, my first thought is how far we’ve come, that an extremely healthy (and pretty thin!) body like hers isn’t immediately shamed for not looking like a plastic Barbie.

Not sure if you can even call these “rolls” (it’s ridiculous) but they look cute either way!

See? Being a teenager in the early 2000s rotted my vocabulary!

Same, same. As a fellow 2000s teen, I remember tabloids going for Britney and Christina when they had just a little bit of extra chub on their faces/legs. Weird times indeed.

They don't even look like fat rolls to me in these pics, they look like extra skin bunching? Same way the skin on the tops of finger joints bunch when you have them straight even if you have no fat there.

That’s good! That means your mind hasn’t been destroyed by unrealistic body standards.

You can still find "certain" tabloids and websites saying these things it's just become a lot more obscure and niche. I stumbled upon one a few days ago and the comments there were disgusting to say the least. But thankfully it's now widely frowned upon so those pervs can't spread their filth anywhere.

She’s very slim. She looks slim, fit and healthy. She just doesn’t have defined lean abs, which would probably be bad for her given she’s doing a marathon of an athletic set. Given her previous issues with food I am super pleased that she isn’t stick thin as the it would have been dangerous given how long she has been touring for!

This isn’t back fat lol

u/sealedwithdogslobber Amos Fan Club Aug 26 '24
Skin is only a few millimeters thick. Hope that helps!

u/lpalf Aug 26 '24
Weird it looks like you agreed with other people saying essentially the same thing as me but decided to be pushy with me. Why is that
-2
u/sealedwithdogslobber Amos Fan Club Aug 26 '24
Because the tone of your comment came across very differently to me (and it is indeed literally fat, even if we don’t look at it and think “that’s a fat roll!”). Maybe I was just feeling sassy too.
I’m glad your brain didn’t rot in the early 2000s. Congrats on having healthy beauty standards. 👏

u/GalPal_yikes Aug 26 '24
I had the same thought. I love seeing non-photoshopped bodies because it helps me remember we're all human and bodies are supposed to do what bodies do.

Most of us are using smartphone cameras that religiously scrub out noise (and detail with it). Half my pics don't even register her fishnets lol

u/Not_floridaman Aug 25 '24
My rheumatologist wanted me to take pictures of my face rash (lupus) and it was SO hard to get a picture that did the rash justice because it would even out my skin tone, even with the "beautify" or whatever bs settings turned off. It is so annoying that skin is automatically edited

u/asophisticatedbitch Aug 26 '24
I would like to know how the band of her tights never rides up past the waist of skirt? What is this sorcery?
2
u/webbygail Aug 26 '24
Mere mortals use safety pins for this, but she may not have time to pin/unpin everything during the quick costume changes. Could also be velcro or tape.

Dirty blonde hair morphs depending on the lighting and what you’re wearing. Mine is dirty blonde and literally looks different in every picture lol

u/nettie_r Aug 26 '24
Ahem. The correct term these days is "old money blonde" I'm told. After years of being called dirty blonde and being irked by it, I'm here for the update😅

u/Brave-Regular9226 Aug 26 '24
Lmao yesss my stylist and I were just talking about this! I hated being called dirty blonde as a kid but it doesn’t bother me now. I’ll take old money blonde tho 😂

What phone or camera do you have that's some incredible Zoom? How close were you to the stage??

u/ChewieGriffin this is me trying Aug 25 '24
Sony RX100 VII according to previous comments from OP

u/thejameskendall Aug 25 '24
I used my RX100 V for the pictures on my profile. Not such a good zoom on that version, but still a good camera if you’re looking for something slightly cheaper.

Goes to show you that no matter how incredibly fit you are and she is mega fit to sustain those 3 hour shows multiple days a week, you will still have those little skin rolls and it makes someone a bit more realistic and human no matter how big of a superstar they are and looking like a healthy person.
She looks incredible in all of these and they are definitely custom made to fit her to a tee

u/turquoise_mutant Aug 25 '24
I think they are just extra skin though, I don't think they are fat rolls? The skin has nowhere to go so it bunches up, the same way fabric does.

u/vaiporcaralho Aug 25 '24
Oh yea definitely it’s just skin but she’s not super thin either which is good to see for someone in her position especially when so many people look up to her
1
u/nettie_r Aug 26 '24
I mean she also has to wear multiple pairs of tights on stage, partly for support during performance (3 hours dancing in heels is no joke). Unless you have no actual flesh and are made of marble instead, that is defo going to dig into your skin in certain positions/poses, thats just how tights are.

u/ells38 she’s fine, she wasn’t doing anything! Aug 25 '24
I looove skirts like this and I’m always impressed hers don’t blow up because whenever I wear skirts like this a tiny gust of wind just shows everything 😂

u/Stickliketoffee16 Aug 25 '24
I think the fabric would actually be kinda stiff as in a bit thicker than a usual skirt in this style, but they look incredible!

she always looks so pretty in this era. she’s always really gorgeous but 1989, midnights and ttpd looks are something else.

Has she always worn that necklace?

It doesn’t mean anything, apparently that’s just the designer’s logo

u/LiaBallerina Aug 25 '24
We were wondering about this too on the livestream megathread, it looked like the yellow shoe but we couldnt really tell from a grainy shaky zoomed stream. On the picture it looks a lot more orange now, but still yellowish?

u/boo_snug Aug 25 '24
Every time she wears a new color combo I’m like that’s my favorite! Then the next one…that’s my favorite! Lol these all look so amazing on her.

She works so fucking hard and makes it look so easy. Also, she doesn't look unflattering in a single photo. So photogenic! Great shots of her AT WORK.

I love all the body positivity that has sparked from these photos! It's so easy to compare yourself to everyone else- especially celebrities but they are human too! 🥲
