I hope so. I feel like natural should be in. I’m petite, pale and have a small butt so I’m pretty far from a Kardashian. I really hate the emphasis on tanning and the big butt plastic surgery.

+1. I don't think this era was every a thing among non-sex workers. It's a very specific and low-rent look. We will continue to see people who do this to their appearance, but it's not something I see emulated in my professional or social environments.

The Kardashians have always been nothing more than a running joke. Did anyone actually ever take them seriously?
I don’t live in dc anymore, but yes lots of young women take it very seriously. I think you’re living in your dcum bubble to not realize that working class and middle class women across the country aspire (or at least have aspired in the past) to this look.

I think the “clean girl” look is in, at least for my demographic. Hailey Bieber and Gwyneth Paltrow types. It’s still expensive to upkeep but more natural, and you have to be a cis-woman to pull it off.

Kylie just got gigantic breast implants. The truly wealthy aren’t doing fillers anymore. They’re shelling out north of $250k for deep plane facelifts like Mama Kardashian recently did.

The preferred body has never been the one people can easily obtain. Quite the opposite. Kardashians or Kate Moss, none of it is a look for normal people.

I see Kylie removing filler from her face and reducing her butt. Probably realized that she can't wear any Oscar/gala type clothing because they aren't made for the type of fake proportions she has.

I still see the Kardashian look around, but in small subsets of the super-rich and low-income. The trend seems to be more Hailey Bieber "clean girl" overall, especially with the middle classes.

I personally think the ultra thin body type is more realistic than a Kardashian body. Some people really are naturally very thin. Other people do diet/exercise down to unhealthy levels. But the Kardashian body is pretty much impossible to achieve without surgery.
Not saying we should all aspire to be ultra thin, but the idea that the Kardashian era was somehow healthier or more inclusive is nonsense. It only embraced curves so long as they involved impossibly narrow waists and as long as those curves completely defied gravity. It's a cartoon body. Whereas some model who happens to be 5'10" while having no boobs and no butt probably just happens to look like that, she didn't pay for it. Yes her body is unattainable to normal people but that's ALWAYS true of models, simply being shorter make it impossible for most of us to achieve that appearance even if we have similar body types. Is fashion going to embrace models who are 5'4" soon? No.

I think Kardashian aesthetics remain very popular on social media, and social media remains very influential in general, so no. I still see tons and tons of women on IG with long hair, heavily made up (and countered) faces, fake eyelashes, wearing very fitted clothing.
But I think the zeitgeist has moved on a bit. Specifically I think there is less interest in the dramatic plastic surgery and very exaggerated curvy body, and in that really filler-heavy face that the Kardashians popularized. People seem more aware of the downsides of lots of filler and the trend is to remove it and other celebs are clearly looking for a lighter touch with fillers and botox these days. I also think the concept of having huge boobs and butts and tiny waists is pretty much over, it looks fake and is impossible to maintain. I think now the trend is just for an overall fit body that doesn't look like a plastic surgeon built in. I'm sure people are still getting tummy tucks and lipo, but I think the idea is for your body to look naturally good, not like a cartoon.
