Hilary Duff did an interview with Womens Health about a week and a half ago that Im only just seeing now. Thats the thing about Hilary Duff, she hustles so hard for coverage that she ends up getting ignored when she says something interesting/controversial. Hilary has been an outspoken advocate for body positivity, shes like Demi Lovato in that way. However Hilary said a bunch of stuff to Womens Health that was short-sighted, Ill call it. Incidentally, Womens Health rephrased an interview they did with Hilary to make it sound like a first person essay, which is bizarre. That may have altered the way her words come across, so some of her responses might be misrepresented.
Being a new mom was one of the happiest times of my life, but how I felt about my body really sucked I also held onto all the baby weight for a long time. I wasnt one of those women who just could nurse and lose the weight. Some people bounce back and dont have to deal with that, and thats wonderful for them. But for me, it was so hard to connect with my body again once I had a baby.
It wasnt until my mind adjusted to not caring as much that I started to figure it all out. I realized that I am never going to be the same again, and thats okay. Ive learned to be proud of what my body does for me, and what it did while I was pregnant with my son.
Now, Im happy to say that I have a pretty healthy relationship with my body. Of course, Im 52, so any kind of weight that I gain, I see it right away. And sure, I want to look good in my jeans, and I want to feel and look good. But I dont need to be a super-skinny person. Im normal, and I have a good relationship with food and indulging myself while being healthy and giving my body what it needs.
Its hard for women every day, no matter what, to love their bodies. Theres pressures just from your friends and how they look, and trying to keep up.
Its terrible that skinny is beautiful. Theres a new version of skinny thats justunreachable. Its a really bad look. If we can just try to celebrate being individuals, and try to feel good instead of trying to fit in, I think that would be huge.
I have been trying to take more time to set my intention for the day and take a few deep breaths in the morning. Its helped me be a more patient and understanding person not only with others, but with myself, too. To be kinder to myself.

I think I know what Hilary means about skinny being equated with beautiful and how that ideal is becoming smaller and more unreachable, however she phrased it oddly and could have been more inclusive in her message. Im sure its much different in her industry and that shes talking about extremes though. This highlights how celebrities get stuck in their own perspective and try to apply that to just about every other situation. Hilary could have hedged a little more in some of these responses, but her core message is good be gentle to yourself and appreciate where you are now. A lot of us struggle with body image and she described that well.

Wow, the Cannes Film Festival started and I was completely caught off-guard! Usually Cannes starts on a Wednesday, right? Right. So they started a day early, and they started just a day after the Met Gala. That?s a quick turnaround for fashionistas! Thankfully, we?re going to have lots of fun photos from Cannes this year: Cate Blanchett is the Cannes jury president. Other jurors include Ava DuVernay, Kristen Stewart and La Seydoux. It?s going to be fun, I?m telling you. Here is Cate at the Cannes opening night premiere of Everybody Knows. She was one of the best-dressed at the premiere in this beautifully constructed Armani Priv gown. Love her or hate her, Cate knows how to fashion. (Also: GAH, HER EARRINGS, I WANT THEM.)
Julianne Moore, on the other hand, sometimes doesn?t know how to ?fashion.? I love her to pieces too, so it pains me every time she wanders around wearing a sad sack dress. Thankfully, I don?t completely hate this Givenchy gown on her. Would I have chosen this for her? No. But she looks good. I was going to criticize the updo, but upon closer inspection, I love this hairstyle, especially with the earrings.
La Seydoux in Louis Vuitton. Lord knows I think Nicolas Ghesquiere has lost the thread, but my only real beef with this gown is that the skirt should have been lined. The granny panties-under-a-sheer-skirt are just so? tired.
Georgia May Jagger is a model now. She?s very pretty but it?s going to take me a while before I really embrace her as a model-actress-whatever. She wore an incredibly boring Twinset gown in boring basic black. I mean, if you look closely, the gown is well-constructed. But she doesn?t stand out at all.
Fan Bingbing in Ali Karoui Haute Couture. It?s weird and she stood out on the carpet, so props to her. Do you like the ruffled tiers? I do not.
