In different eras of human history, there were different standards of beauty, both female and male. It is enough to look at ancient statues, ceremonial portraits of the Middle Ages or paintings by the great masters of the Renaissance to understand how radically these very standards have changed. But what can we say - even in the 20th century alone, at least four approaches to what is beautiful and what could, for instance, be retouched, have changed.

Around the end of the nineties, Photoshop firmly entered our lives, and real life finally diverged from what we see on the pages of fashion magazines. Yes, in recent years the world has been steadily moving towards the perception of human appearance as it is, without numerous filters and many hours of retouching, but photographers still continue to turn models into similarities of glossy icons according to approximately the same "standard".

Bored Panda has already told about the art project 'Goddess Women', the founder of which takes photographs of famous women of our time - and applies to them the same filters that many social media influencers love so much. As of today, the project's Instagram page can boast over 374K followers, including world stars such as Gigi Hadid or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, as well as more than 2.6K publications.

From this abundance of photos, Bored Panda carefully selected the most popular ones, so please feel free to scroll to the very end of this list and observe how world-known women could look with all those numerous filters on them. And if the photos we have chosen are not enough for you, then here is the first, second and even third parts of our collection.

    The Body in the second pic (skin tone, birthmarks) are giving you an idea how much was done in the first pic. Serioulsly: both are more Photoshop than Elle Fanning.

    So if the second picture of her is edited....then all her pics must be edited as all I ever see are pics of her looking like the second one.

    If they were going to mess with the picture for some reason, they should have edited below the neck. It doesn't match and looks odd. But as with most of these, she looks better in the first one. People do have pores after all.
