Venus Williams compares fashion standards over the years

During an interview, Venus was asked about how the beauty standards are changing for women. Replying to this question, she said, “I think that the standard of beauty right now is more inclusive, so that’s wonderful, but at the same time there’s tons of pressure. I think the standard of beauty 20, 30 years ago was like, be as thin as possible.”

Further, she went on to add, “And now the standard of beauty is kind of shifted more to like be as curvy as possible. And now there’s pressure to augment yourself to fit into the standard somehow. And that’s not realistic.”
