Indulge me. One of the things I have noticed about the stereotypical "upper class look" is the exquisitely lean and toned bodies of the women in this SES. I can't tell if they're born with that physique due to genetics or its something they work at. If so what exercises and workouts give you this toned lean but skinny look?
![]() ![]() ![]() It isn't big strong muscles but very low body fat and toned and lean muscles. It looks very...rich. |
Out of those three only Goopy looks normal. She just is naturally toned and thin and also works out. The others are flabby ozempic skinny. |
Pilates, and not eating much. |
These are all naturally thin women who also work out a lot. They may also diet extensively -- certainly Paltrow has what many people would classify as an eating disorder. But there are women in their 40s and 50s who have this body without starving themselves -- it's a combo of being genetically predisposed to being long and lean and then working out a lot and also maybe being someone who feels full easily on smaller portion sizes.
If your natural body type is shorter or curvier than this then no amount of diet and exercise will make you look this way. |
None of those women look "Ozempic skinny." They are all women who have always been thin. OP some people can work out a lot and even lift weights a lot and never look bulky. If I lift a lot of weights my arms get extremely toned but the muscles never get big. Same with my legs and butt. When I'm out of shape I definitely get a belly since having kids and hitting 40 but the rest of my body is just kind of naturally long and thin and if I exercise and eat well then I look long and lean because that's just my body type. |
it is genetic + good habits + time and money to spend on quality nourishing food and the right workouts to keep their body looking this way (eg pilates, 2 -3 hour hikes every day, etc). |
Wait, what? White women like to be skinny?
No one told me! |
OP here. I eat healthy and when I workout...I get bulky...not skinny and lean and toned!Hence my curiosity |
This is simple - genetics and hunger. |
They are rich because they are actresses and models (or were before literally marrying royalty) and actresses and models tend to be skinny.
Rich women do sort of look like that, but not exactly. Especially old money women have a slightly different look. They are still thinner than average, but not in the same way. |
You maybe but Clooney and Markle are very likely on Ozempic: skinnier than ever in middle age, and rich. This is most rich media-conscious women these days. |
Both women have always been very thin though. Especially Amal. Also there are people who have been staying thin as they age forever without Ozempic. Like do you assume SJP is on Ozempic? Was Jacqueline Onassis on Ozempic? Audrey Hepburn? Nancy Reagan? |
Right it's your body type. People have different body types. It's the same for men. There are long and lean men who can't develop big muscles no matter how hard they try and there are also guys who "bulk up" very easily with fairly minimal effort. There are lots of wealthy women who aren't long and lean though. Probably the majority of them actually. It's more that there is an idealized aesthetic associated with wealthy aristocratic women with long and lean limbs and minimal body fat. |
I want to emulate this look! |
OP I'm like you. But I workout more intensely - challenging weights, run, etc. I definitely look more "fit" and "strong" than "thin" or "lean." My sister does light yoga and pilates (and some light walking) and has the lithe and lean frame like the celebs you posted. It's what works for her. Different strokes for different folks. |
