In a world that is increasingly saturated with unattainable idealisms of beauty, social media platforms that promote narcissism, and accessible airbrushing and photo manipulation software, it is becoming equally harder to find celebrity role models that make one feel like it is perfectly okay to be comfortable in one’s own skin. Demi Lovato, despite her troubled yet conquered past, is one of these rare celebrity role models.
Since making her strong comeback, Demi has been unapologetic about who she is because who she is — a talented and beautiful woman who embraces her natural curves wholeheartedly — is nothing to be apologetic for. In fact, her motto when it comes to dressing herself up has nothing to do with bouncing her self-image off from another person’s, sharing that she dresses herself according to what makes her feel comfortable and beautiful. This is the exact styling mindset that all women should strive for.
Demi has gotten really good at choosing the right silhouettes that emphasize her physical assets, choosing to embrace instead of trying to conceal them. In the Los Angeles leg of The X Factor auditions, Demi chose a pair of very flattering and curve-hugging skinny jeans in a gorgeous gray shade, which she paired with a cotton-blend top and a pair of black pumps.

The popular 620 mid-rise skinny jeans by J Brand have five pockets and are mostly made of cotton. They have slight fading at the front, which gets slightly stronger at the back area, perhaps to emphasize the buttocks. The gray shade remains dark and solid throughout the lower limbs to give the illusion of skinnier ankles. Mid-rise jeans usually look best on those who have lengthy torsos. You can find them at Amazon.
