Lane Bryant Takes a Jab at Victoria’s Secret Angels
You know that feeling when you’re on vacation and suddenly find yourself playing the role of your kid’s personal photographer? Yeah, that was me, chasing my middle-schooler around the pool while she leaped off the side, lounged under the sun, and sipped smoothies like a pro. It was a blast! But when I checked my Instagram later that night, it hit me—she wasn’t the only one. Every girl between 12 and 22 seemed to be posting those perfectly staged, “I’m not trying too hard” pics. Because, let’s face it, if it’s not on Instagram, did it even happen?
As the days went by, my feed turned into a veritable “Instagram: The Swimsuit Edition.” Major props to these girls for their confidence! But then, I started reading the comments, and my heart sunk: “your a stick,” “go find food,” “hottie with a body,” and more. It was like watching the pressure to look good in a bikini ramp up to a whole new level, especially with the added weight of social media.
That’s why I’m all about Lane Bryant’s new #ImNoAngel campaign. Launched to celebrate women of every shape and size, this campaign aims to redefine what sexy means. Featuring stunning curvy models like Mia Johnson—who’s making waves for her body-positive influence—the campaign is sending a powerful message that wings aren’t necessary for self-esteem.
Sure, it’s been critiqued for poking fun at Victoria’s Secret and their so-called “perfect” angels, but the uplifting vibe is what’s really catching fire on Twitter and Instagram. Many young women are embracing the #ImNoAngel hashtag to showcase that beauty comes in all forms. As Mia mentioned in an interview, “We’ve heard from girls saying thank you for changing their perspective on body image. It’s incredibly moving.”
Of course, it’s a tall order to change the mindset of millions who idolize those Angels as “body goals.” But you know what? This campaign is a start, and it’s all about progress.
