On Tuesday, April 5, 2016, Hollywood actress Kerry Washington was a trending topic on Facebook. As a huge fan of her work-- most especially in her role as Olivia Pope on ABC's "Scandal"-- I clicked the link to see what the hype was all about. The webpage displays an image of Washington on the cover of ADWEEK magazine, modeling a stunning striped gown and patterned pumps. As I looked over the photograph, I realized something was missing.

The model wasn't Kerry Washington at all. Perhaps it had been at one point, but an atrocious amount of photo editing and retouching had transformed the beautiful actress's face into that of a complete stranger. Washington was not quiet about her disappointment, explaining her emotions to social media followers.

"It felt strange to look at a picture of myself that is so different from what I look like when I look in the mirror," Washington wrote on her Facebook page. "It's an unfortunate feeling."

Just a few days later, a new topic is trending-- and it's hauntingly similar to Washington's issues with ADWEEK. In an interview with Harper's BAZAAR, young actress Jennifer Lawrence discussed the unhealthy perceptions of body image that are reinforced by Hollywood norms.

"I think we've gotten so used to underweight that when you are a normal weight it's like, 'Oh, my God, she's curvy,'" Lawrence said in the interview.

Lawrence has also had unfavorable encounters with retouched images of her face and body, such as her cover image on Flare magazine in June 2011. Despite her tough skin and positive attitude, the BAZAAR interview revealed some bitterness towards the Hollywood standard of female body image.

With role models like Washington and Lawrence, we may be entering an era of accepting natural beauty in Hollywood. Many artists are putting their foot down and stepping away from Photoshop.The battle is far from over; we know something is working, however, when these topics are trending. Rock on, ladies. It's time for change.
