I like the ones where she tries to accurately copy the originals best

The actor/comedian puts her own awkward spin on glamorous and elegant celebrity photos. And it seems like no star has been beyond the reach of her desire to parody their pics since 2015 when she started going viral.

Celeste’s parodies actually uncovered the double standards that pervade social media. For example in October 2020, Instagram claimed that her semi-nude recreation of Candace Swanepoel’s photo supposedly violated the community guidelines. Meanwhile, the model’s photo was freely shareable, unlike Celeste’s.

After being called out, Instagram apologized and said that the restriction on her post had been an error that they fixed.

That Week Between Christmas And New Year When You Have No Fucking Idea What’s Going On

Celeste achieved quite a lot last year. Bloomberg writes that the Facebook fundraiser that she started up back in January 2020 eventually brought in over 37 million dollars for Australian wildfire aid. She used her massive influence on social media to convince people to donate.

In case you’ve forgotten, the 2019-2020 Australian bushfire season was particularly devastating. The fires burned up 18.6 million hectares (that’s 186k square kilometers or 72k square miles) of land. Almost 3 billion terrestrial vertebrates, most of them reptiles, lost their lives. Over 5.9k buildings were destroyed and at least 34 people lost their lives. So every single donation made a difference.

Celeste and her male friend are much hotter than Miley Cyrus and Cody Simpson. Well, that's my opinion.

If I remember rightly there was a bit of an uproar regarding these photos. Whilst the first image was allowed on Facebook, Celeste’s photo was taken down and banned. There was a discussion on how slim "beautiful" women are allowed to show their body but if someone is a little on the “bigger” side (not that Celeste is big) or doesn’t meet the ideal beauty standards then they are not allowed to.

That makes me absolutely pissed off women are beautiful no matter what they look like! I myself am on the larger side for my age and I still think im beautiful! I think that there are some women that are on the "bigger side" yet have prettier hair, nails, muscles, better everything than skinny people.

Hearing about how Celeste’s photo was taken down is really upsetting. 1. Celeste is beautiful just how she is. So are the other women but telling people who aren’t sticks that they can’t show their body is horrible. 2. I’m not trying to spread hate but some of the women in the original photos where they are allowed to show their bodies actually look unhealthy. Being so thin that your spine sticks out is not healthy. While obesity is harmful to health, so is being nothing but skin and bones. We cannot pick and chose which extreme and which is bad and which is good because that’s not how it works. This kind of thinking is unhelpful and hurtful and it causes so many problems. Please everyone take care of yourself. Know that you are beautiful and worthy no matter who you are or how you look.

My aunt is losing too much weight from her diet and she is losing her hair. And I'm bigger than most of my friends but I don't care. They still love me for who I am.

I admire Celeste (is that her name?) from the bottom of my heart. My body has similar shape and I would never ever post a picture like this.

If I would've heard about this, I would've started a campaign to take the other photo down as well. You either keep both, or take down both. No bias. Both are as artistic as they get, there's no doubt in that!

Who does even look like that on the photo to the left? These photos should be banned, giving girls wrong ideals.

I tried to like her... but for me it's not funny at all... she just makes herself pitiable on purpose. For me she just looks like jealous of slim celebs (although we all know its mostly filters, photoshop etc, but that kind of photograpy is still art. hers is not).
