The French label Etam recently released their spring 2011 ad campaign, which includes lots of Natalia Vodianova in sexy lingerie. I know models have super awesome genes and all, but I’m still surprised that Natalia Vodianova is a) 28 and b) the mother of three kids. Heidi Klum should have prepared me for this, but I’m still impressed.
What do you think about Natalia Vodianova in this ad campaign?

well i’m sure those have been airbrushed, so that’s not what she *actually* looks like.

That first photo is more than unflattering.
Having said that, I think @meg is right … photoshop does wonders.
She may look great at the moment, but maybe not perfect, which is how she’s portrayed in these photos.

That is one hot mum!

damnnnn that must be photoshop i mean its impossible. She looks like she never had a big stomach that could hold a baby.
guest
This is so unfair TuT haha. But lets get real: there MUST photoshop, because there is no way someone can have 3 babies and still look like a 16 years old. Is that or I got the worst genes EVER, cause I´m only 25 and no kids, and have never looked like THAT haha. I feel bad now

@NadesikoTakase@xanga - Me too! Don’t feel bad
Whenever I see those “celebrities without makeup” photos, I think to myself “See, they are people too.” There have got to be stretch marks. It would be a biological impossibility for there NOT to be any sort of change to the skin after that much stretching and shrinking.
guest
She kinda reminds me of Lily Allen.
guest
Oooh, the wonders of photoshop. She doesn’t have extra skin or stretch marks anywhere, and her boobs aren’t saggy.
Lol. Seriously, this is biologically impossible with 1 kid, not to mention 3.
guest
Actually for those saying it’s impossible my bff is 27, a size 2 with a toned stomach with 3 kids and is often confused for 18. She’s was a professional ballet dancer though and now works as a dance teacher, so that is why she’s in such good shape.
Besides, photo shop only changes so much. She’s still gotta be in amazing shape to be a model. Pus, I’m sure we’ve all met that one person in real life who really does look that way, however, when we see people like this look at them, smile and say good for them. Acknowledge their beauty while remembering that you also have your own gorgeous features. If people understood just how truly powerful the mind really is they would never think anything negative about themselves.

really?! And not one stretch mark?! I am amazed. (Unless they photoshop-ed it) Man! I’m so jealous. My stomach used to look like that but now it looks like a war zone =[

I dunno, I know a few models (not mainstream) that have had children and still look beautifully amazing. (Without any editing)

Moms can be hot too! I know several moms with multiple children who do not have stretch marks and flat stomachs without any photoshopping or surgery. It can happen. I wish it had happened to me, lol.
guest
I think she absolutely gorgeous. She used to have anorexia I’ve read and struggling with that and having kids, that’s really amazing.

wow! she looks gorgeous!!

Yeah, there is Photoshop, but if you looked like that before kids, you can go back to that with the right personal trainer. There is also a tummy tuck you can have after a C-section, but you have to make sure the plastic surgeon is there during the delivery.
I’m guessing she just worked out a lot and maybe didn’t breastfeed.
guest
Well, when her children grow and their friends see their mom in her undies.. not the best thing

@Cayllesth@xanga - i’ve def met that person! she lives in my neighborhood. she has two little girls and her body is perfect! i mean, she doesn’t look 18, you can see the age in her face…but everything is toned and in place and no stretch marks or anything.
having said that though, you can’t trust everything you see in magazines. if she has any stretch marks they’re photoshopped out so that she appears perfect.

Clearly she takes care of herself. Good for her! And it IS possible to have kids and not stretch marks. I think it involves lots of cocoa butter and praying.
guest
My mother had 4 kids and her stomach is flat and sexy as ever. (ew did i just say that about my mom, haha). no but seriously. just because you have kids doesn’t mean you have to have a nasty stomach afterwads. its got alot to do with genetics and lifestyle.
