Is the body positivity movement over?
Thanks for asking.
Body positivity.
Once the rallying cry for self-acceptance and diversity championed the idea that all bodies deserve recognition.
Born online and amplified by social media, it pushed back against the narrow beauty standards long set by fashion and advertising.
But in 2025 there's a sense that the idea may be turning perhaps even back towards a pre-body positivity mindset.
So how did this movement begin?
It started in 1996, founded by two American women, Connie Sobsack and Elizabeth Scott, after the death of Connie's sister, who'd suffered from an eating disorder.
The movement gained global traction in the late 2010s, when influencers and models began spreading its message across platforms.
By 2021, Reebok noted that hashtag body positive had inspired over 14.5 million Instagram posts.
So why is body positivity now losing momentum?
Criticism has been building for years.
According to Sante magazine, the movement has been accused of being co-opted by brands eager to market inclusive clothing lines, though often using models who wear only size 40 or 42, an equivalent to a UK 12 or 14, the most common size in France.
It's also been criticised for being dominated by women with more standard bodies, whose posts about self-acceptance can feel tone deaf to those who face real stigma due to size.
And for some body positivity has come to feel like a new kind of pressure, an obligation to love every part of yourself all the time, which just isn't realistic.
There's also a health debate, as some people believe that the body positivity movement may discourage some overweight or obese individuals from addressing health risks.
Not so much.
After a burst of diversity in the late 2010s, the momentum seems to have faded.
Aude Percival from PLUS, France's leading plus-size modelling agency, told Le Monde that inclusivity peaked around 2019 to 2020.
Since then, plus-size models are booking fewer jobs, mostly for fast fashion or beauty brands, not luxury houses.
And according to Vogue Business, plus-size models represent just 03 of looks on the major fashion week runways for fall-winter 2025.
So is body positivity over?
Maybe not entirely, but it's definitely being redefined.
