The explosion of reality shows, like Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and our fascination with them has influenced the body ideals of the 2010s and the clothes we choose to define our figures. Don't forget Kim Kardashian's famous bum is insured for a cool $21 million. Celebrities and socialites like Kim brought more dramatic aesthetics to the looks of the decade.
• Shifting Body Ideals: It's funny how fashion, like everything else, happens in cycles. The body ideals introduced by Kim Kardashian in the '10s versus Paris Hilton in the '00s remind us of a similar extreme in the late '50s and early '60s, between Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn.
Body types should absolutely not be a trend as every body is beautifully different, but a conversation on the changing fashion and beauty ideals of a decade would be incomplete without it. In the 2010s, the superskinny ideal made popular by Hollywood stylist Rachel Zoe in the '00s was replaced by the fuller figure of the Kardashian-Jenner empire.
