Doutzen Kroes – Photoshoot on the Beach
December 11, 2008 in Doutzen Kroes, Hot Models by Versus
There are a few supermodels that don’t look underweight - and I’m happy to say that Doutzen surely doesn’t look underweight here.
Real, natural, healthy, fit, athletic – yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
How do you like it?
4 More pictures of Doutzen on the beach (and more outfits) after the jump!
P.S.: Many sources say that Doutzen is a US size 4 (at 5’10”).
yeah..sooo I really think we need to see more GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL PERFECT…but HEALTHY models like these in all the victorias secret magazines, glamour, cosmo, ect…ok soo..i dont like saying this but ive been anorexic and ed for nearly 13 years and im 24 now…im a little better now wt wise..but mentally..no. the issues are all there..and everyday turning on the tv, walking through any store and seeing the covers of magazines, or looking through a catalog for clothes…EVERYWHERE..I..WE are bombarded with images of young girls and women who are soo skinny, you know they have to be doing something unhealthy to stay that way. Now yes some..a select few girls and women are naturally victorias secret model thin..but most are NOT natualrally that way..and when they all claim that ..theyre ‘fine and eat tons’ it just makes it that much harder for the girls and women with eds and body/eating issues to ever get better. Having more representatives of just ‘normal’ sized women…in my humble opinion, would really truly help the self image and recovery of many people with eds. Because they show and prove that you can be BEAUTIFUL and SUCCESFUL and still eat..and be a noramal wt. And rwhile i can only speak for myslef..aside from this pretty girl and some other spectacular hollywoodites…we are not getting that message!!! and its hard and it hurts…… sorry to bitch and whine..thats just how i feel.
i think she looks absolutely gorgeous. not only is she fit and healthy but she’s covered up, respectably dressed. i know victorias secret is about lingere, and the ads are hot, but its nice to see less skin once in a while. biogirl, i know what you mean about eating disorders and stuff, i was ano a few years ago and still abuse laxatives today. its something to work on but photos like this make it easier to think that maybe the world is changing for the better body-image-wise.
@Biogirl,
I completely agree with what you said – I love to see celebrities that embrace their natural bodies and don’t strive to be something that they’re obviously not (curvy with help from plastic surgery or skinny by starving or dieting excessively).
Congratulations on the progress you’ve made so far, keep strong!
This is totally unrelated, but I wonder how many people who regularly visit this site actually have disordered eating or body-image issues.. (Just a thought. I’m remembering quite a few people saying they have/had an ED, and it makes me wonder just how healthy these types of sites are (PS this is NOT a statement against you, Versus! I appreciate how you embrace HEALTHY women, no matter their size), I mean you can’t help but to compare your own body to these celebs and take some of the readers’ comments to heart, if you’re insecure.) (sorry this is just me thinking out loud)
Anyway, Doutzen is gorgeousss.
very pretty almost a perfect body. and to biogirl, u need to understand its not about being skinny that makes women turn to starving and ccrazy diets. its perfection. and in ur eyes or other anorexics, their ideas of perfection is skinny girls. whereas their are other girls forcefeeding themselves because their idea of perfection is curvy women. i dont see any ads that tell me to lose weight, its all in our head. =/ i sound liek a freaky therapist. =/
@Elizabeth,
I understand what you mean.
Thank you for understanding that my Pro “Healthy” point of view – I am actually quite content that most visitors on our site seem to lean towards healthy as well (whether this healthy is skinny, curvy, average or any other type) – we rarely get comments that glorify something that looks extreme.
I know it’s a little risky, but my hope is that the people that battle with body image see that 1. Skinny is not the only option (that’s why we’re trying to feature a wide range of shapes and sizes) and 2. That most people love / admire women that embrace their natural body types.
umm this is to change, im not trying to argue with you, it might be striving for perfection to some extent or to a large extent for many people…and at this point, even for me it seems like im just thinking..oh im fat i hate myself im gross, need to lose 40lbs…but when i started this…the reasons why i got an ed in the first place wasnt really becuase i wanted to be perfect, it was because i was a sad,depressed, abused, pretty miserable little girl, with very low self esteem, very few freinds and lots of self hate. When i started losing weight, it gave me something safe, that would always be there for me no matter what went wrong…like i could trust it. It was like a comfort and a way to distract myself from my depression and problems around me…they didnt matter as much as long as i lost weight/stayed skinny. then when i realised it was a problem, and it got to the point where i realised that the ed was causing me a lot of misery too, it was too late to stop i couldnt, its like your trapped. and you both want to be and dont want to be at the same time. idk..it sounds crazy, and none of my ‘normal’ family/friends understand. i really think only people who actually experienced that kind of entrapment thought process would get what i mean….but its not just about perfection…not at all.. sorry to ramble…
to change: i dont think you can pinpoint eating disorders to just ‘perfection’, its like anyone else saying eating disorders are just about ‘being skinny.’ for whatever reason, eating disorders can manifest through hundreds of problems someone might be having, and may become a coping mechanism for whatever they’re going through. im not saying that you’re wrong or that you’ve got no insight, but
ive been to IP a couple of times, and met girls who developed eating disorders for reasons other than being skinny or trying to be perfect-your comment on that was just a little bit closed minded thats all.
back to the original post:
doutzen looks fantastic, not underweight, but definetly not your ‘average woman.’
OMG (at how LONG ALL your blogs are)!!!!
Anyways doutzen looks sooo healthy and athletic. She must work hard to maintain her body … body wise (due to atheltic type) reminds me of jessica biel. Face-wise she looks like denish richards / rebecca romjin and rosamund pike!!
She is perfect.
Pretty. And lucky too, she’s long waisted:P
i havent experienced eatign disorders so i cant ofcourse talk from my own experienece, but i have plentyy of friends who have and that was their reasons. i mean we’re all differnt and have different motivesss. but we can all agree that eating disorders are wrong way to “fulfill your desires” or stop being that “low self esteem lonely girl”. we’re all much better than that. =]
well just to restate what i said..my eating disorder was not, is not, and never will be a way of “fulfilling my desires”..umm i can very assuredly say that in soo many ways, my ed has ruined my life and my body..i missed soo much of may adloesnce..so many experiences..high school, parites, prom..just going to get pizza or ice cream with friends..avoiding birthdays for the food..always trying to make excuses why i could do things that i really wanted to do..but couldnt becasue of the food involoved..or because id be getting to close to other people, and they might pick up on my problem..and that seemed like an unthinkable nightmare. soo NO..my ed has never ‘fulfulled me’. also..i know i said i had/have low self esteem and didnt have many friends…but i never thought..oh so now ill starve myself and then i wont be the ‘lonely girl’ anymore..ill have lots of friends..NO in fact my ed had caused me to lose some very good freinds..and miss out on making new friends and relationships that i wouldve had i not had that problem. I think a big misconception about ed’s is that they are a tool of/or product of vanity or selfishness, or perfectionism, stuborness whatever..but its really not..i even have a hard time of defining exactly what it is about, because im still dealing with it, but its about pain, and sadness, and helplessness. obviously a girl starving herself to 59 lbs is NOT going to fulfill any desires, or make her popular, or perfect..shes miserable..but she still cant stop..why..im not sure…its a lot more painful and sad than the silly vanity people fluff it up to be.
love her
she can kick miranda kerr’s ass
Her face isn’t done much justice in these candids but she looks incredible. Like some gorgeous woman from a renaissance painting or something. Delightful body.
Hats off to Doutzen: that’s a really healthy looking MODEL… It’s reassuring to see a successful model looking like her; takes a bit of the pressure to be skinny off regular girls.
wow i think she looks fantastic! it is nice to see someone who looks thin and very athletic! i am really athletic and muscly so she has just become my body idol!
i think she looks absolutely gorgeous. I liove her soo much …. Ahmad / Amman – Jordan
