For women the body image is very slim but curvy and it is important to have large breasts; however, for men the standard is to be tall and slim but muscular and toned.

In the 1920s they idolized the female body as one with narrow hips and a flat chest. As time passed, a new image was valorised, in the 1950s proportionate hips and breasts were emphasised. The icons portrayed have changed over the years; for example, first Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth, up to 1950s icons Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield, then 1960s stars such as Ann-Margret and Raquel Welch. The 1960s marked a new beginning of a new body image trend. The new body image was popularized by the English model and actress, known as Twiggy. Twiggy stood about 5'8" tall and weighed nearly 90 pounds. This had made a significant difference to the beauties of the 1950s because they stood about 5'6" tall and weighed 120 to 130 pounds.
