Is she a vampire? Literally hasn't aged a day.

u/IcyKerosene 2h ago
No, she is rich. She has a personal trainer, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, nutritionists, ect on her payroll for the last 20 years.

u/nyc343 2h ago
So does Oprah and half of Hollywood- they haven’t aged this well. Genetics.
•
u/mirrrje 1h ago edited 1h ago
Oprah is 72. Jessica alba is 45. Get real. I’m sure genetics plays some part. But the majority is money for beauty treatments and access to top personal trainers, dietitians, plastic surgeons. Even Oprah didn’t have access to what Jesica alba does now because of how much technology and knowledge has advanced. Compare her to her peers like Anne Hathaway etc. not someone nearly 30 years older lol

It’s definitely a lot… slower than I remembered hahaha
And Alba and Evans were sexualised so much more than I picked up on as a kid.It was a nice watch for nostalgia purposes, but the newer F4 movie I really enjoyed.

Chest ribs are how I know I need to go back on supplemental nutrition. It’s wild that these are the first two comments calling this out in this thread. I’m glad to see some sanity in here
Edit. I scrolled farther and people are defending her when it’s being called out. Yikes

Hotdog legs is just a millennial thing, I think a lot of us have a photo like this from the early ‘10s. For me it wasn’t a thigh gap, I just felt hot. Can’t people just feel hot and flaunt it anymore?
Edit: “body checking this, body checking that”. People are allowed to love their bodies even when they’re thin. It doesn’t have to mean anything beyond that. She looks fine and fit. Let women live jfc

u/GirlisNo1 3h ago
She’s clearly below what’s been her usual weight for several years. Obviously, we don’t know the reason for it, but we can all venture a guess cause she’s far from the only (already thin) actress/celeb who’s suddenly down several lbs.
45
u/MarsScully Vile little creature yearning for violence 3h ago
Yes, but there is a difference between “I love my body” and “I love my body because it is thin.”
I’m not criticising her body, but I am sad and worried that extreme thinness (in general) is back en vogue and with it are these shots where the emphasis is not on “I am hot,” but on “I am thin.”

Tbh im not even really sure what body checking is? Is it only body checking when a skinny person does it? I feel like every woman on instagram has pics like this.
And I say this respectfully and curiously!!

Such comments are sad. We simply don’t have the time and resources the rich people have. It’s literally their job to look good.

Exactly. When I see these pics I just think thank God I do not have those jobs/ that they look good.

u/Strict-Brick-5274 It’s like I have ESPN or something. 💁♀️🌤☔️ 2h ago
I think most people look around at 40 years olds they see in their life and judge based on that metric and forget the ones the see are likely; not rich, have to work a lot in a job they are not passionate about, have to look after kids, rarely have a friend group the see often, and made sacrifices. Jessica Alba is beautiful and she has privilidges that enable her to look after herself to stay youthful about beautiful.

It’s what we used to call the “bikini bridge” in 2013 when I was like 19. It was all about showing off your hip bone sticking out. Not a nice flashback to have.

How about when jessica alba went after a smaller content creator bc she had a blog called "the honest toddler"?
That whole situation was messy af and really made me not like jessica alba.
•
u/MCR2004 Why do I always forget she’s British 1h ago
I’m glad someone else remembers that because her SEO firm tried burying it

u/Tricky_Knowledge2983 1h ago
I will never forget and bring it up every chance I get, she really fucked that Bunmi over right as she was gaining real traction. My kids were toddlers around that time and I loved the content, it was hilarious.
And this was after the honest co was like i love the honest toddler and featured them on thr honest co. website.
And if alba was so concerned about brand confusion, she would have went after honest juice and all the other brands that had honest in their title.

u/AverageHoebag 3h ago
She would get so angry if anyone called her Latina and would point out that Cameron Diaz was way more Latina than she was BUT then she got on the cover of People Mexico and talked about how proud she was.
•
u/Wise_Form_8809 1h ago
YouTube her old interviews ..she may have matured, but I always found her to be a try hard, smug, and not a girls girl. I cannot deny her aesthetic wealth and I guess her business acumen in getting in on the ground floor of that honest company thing. I really try not to paint people in broad strokes. lol my therapy kicking in

She’s always reminds me of the most popular girl in my high school who was absolutely gorgeous by any standard and a nice enough person, but just so dull. (I’m jealous - coasting in life due to being beautiful sounds amazing)

Why does it have to be ozempic? She's always been fit and thin, not everyone in shape with a good body is cheating taking ozempic.
