If Kate Moss and Katy Perry have cottage cheese thighs, there’s hope for us all (but some women are getting fillers to get rid of theirs)
THEY may be the image of perfection on the red carpet, but underneath the designer clobber the stars have cellulite just like the rest of us.
From Hollywood stars to singers and even models, these proud celebs are proudly embracing their lumps and bumps and showing off their bodies.
Yesterday, catwalk queen Kate Moss, 44, looked stunning as she attended the Saint Laurent Fashion Show at Liberty Park in New York.
The glamorous blonde wore a skimpy, navy playsuit that showed off her long pins – and she didn’t give two hoots about who saw any “imperfections” on her thighs.
She’s not the only celeb to champion body positivity and accept their skin the way it is.
Despite this, some women are going as far as using fillers to ditch their dimples - although many stick with dry body brushing or massage.
There are very few who can escape it though, and from Victoria's Secret Angel Elsa Hosk to Hilary Duff and Katy Perry, here are the stars that have cellulite, just like us...
Vita Sidorkina
They may look like the epitome of flawless beauty, but even the Angels such as Vita Sidorkina have dimples and inperfections.
Shira Ein-Dor, owner of the American Cellulite Reduction Center in New York admitted that some of her clients include Victoria's Secret models.
She said: "They're very lean, they work out and eat well, they do everything right but they still have cellulite."
This dispells the myth that cellulite only happens to out-of-shape people, although being overweight can make it more noticeable.
IF YOU DO WANT TO GET RID OF CELLULITE, HERE ARE SOME TOP TIPS...
The NHS’s official advice is: “If you're overweight, losing weight is the best way of dealing with cellulite.”
However there are a number of other treatments available for those who aren’t overweight or wish to supplement their weight loss.
Coconut oil
There is some suggestion that coconut oil can reduce cellulite.
It is recommended that you not only apply to your skin as a cream but that you eat it too.
This doesn’t have to be as weird as it sounds, you can use coconut oil as an ingredient for cooking as an alternative to butter.
Massage
It is thought that vigorous massage helps to increase blood circulation, removing toxins and reducing excess fluid in cellulite heavy areas.
It has been advised however, that the results can be short lived.
Dry Body Brushing
Stroking your body with dry brush is supposed to increase “lymph flow”.
The lymph fluid reportedly contains white blood cells which pick up bacteria, toxins and other waste from our blood.
It suggested that poor circulation of the lymph can cause cellulite, varicose veins and a weakened immune system, which if true, would mean that dry brushing is very beneficial.
Skin fillers
If you have dimply skin, dermal fillers like Restylane and Radiesse, can help, at least temporarily.
However, the procedure doesn’t come cheap and can cost up to thousands, and only lasts for a few months.
Ashley James
Reality star Ashley James, 31, is also a fan of sharing filter-free photos of her unedited body to show that no one looks perfect at all times.
Ashley recently sat down and proudly showed off her wobbly bits and cellulite in an inspirational message to women.
She captioned the snap: "To all the lovely girls (and guys) saying #goals on my last post or in my DMs...
";This is the same set of lingerie and the same body.
"I used to look at other people's bodies and aspire to look like them but I promise you, even the models want to look like they do in their photos - I probably hated myself the most when I was modelling.
"Cellulite, stretch marks, gravity catching up with natural boobs, and 'problem areas' are things we ALL have so whilst I encourage health and fitness goals, do it for your own happiness and not because you aspire to look like someone else."
Iskra Lawrence
Body confident British model Iskra Lawrence, 27, has become known for her empowerment movement, and often shares inspiring images and quotes about body confidence on her Instagram page.
Speaking about the unattainable beauty standards in the fashion world, she said: “The whole concept of Photoshop is an illusion. They're not flaws. They're part of your body.
“We were just convinced by society and the media that there was something wrong with them.”
Iskra says she realised, at 18, that instead of trying to change her size 14 body to fit into sample sizes, she “would try to change the industry”.
Kim Kardashian
Kim, 37, has lashed out at criticism over her body, particularly in the wake of backlash over those unedited bikini pictures in Mexico.
She said: "If they’re not perfect, people body shame you and criticise you…for people to think that that’s OK is so frustrating."
In an interview with Cosmopolitan Kim Kardashian admitted: “I have cellulite. So what! I've never claimed to be perfect.”
Speaking to the reality star said: "It’s taken me a long time to be happy with my body and for my confidence to grow to what it is today.
"I grew up when the body to have was the tall, slim, supermodel one, like Cindy Crawford’s. No one looked like me. It’s good to break the mould and recreate one.
"I’m an Armenian girl, I have shape, and it turned out people liked that. That makes me feel good about myself and about other women for being so supportive."
Ashley Graham
Size 14 supermodel Ashley Graham, from Lincoln, Nebraska, has previously proudly posted snapshots of the “lumps, bumps and cellulite” on her thighs.
She said in one post: “I workout. I do my best to eat well. I love the skin I’m in. And I’m not ashamed of a few lumps, bumps or cellulite… and you shouldn’t be either."
She has also included the hashtags, #beautybeyondsize and #lovetheskinyourein.
Hilary Duff
The Lizzie McGuire star, 30, said she is proud to reveal her "flaws" on behalf of females everywhere and praised her own body for giving birth to her five-year-old boy, Luca.
She wrote on Instagram last year: "I am posting this on behalf of young girls, women, and mothers of all ages.
"I'm enjoying a vacation with my son after a long season of shooting and being away from him for weeks at a time over those months.
"Since websites and magazines love to share 'celeb flaws' - well I have them!
"My body has given me the greatest gift of my life: Luca, 5 years ago."
Katy Perry
Katy Perry, 33, chipped in the chat with this honest
She said: "Me, honestly, I've got cellulite. I'm just hiding it."
It's not the only aspect of her body the singer has been honest with.
Her porcelain complexion is one of her trademarks, so it’s surprising that Katy is actually insecure about it.
The singer said: “My skin used to be a lot worse than it is. So we would do a lot more coverage because I was insecure about my skin… I have alright lips and alright cheekbones, but they’re no showoffs.”
Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato sent out this tweet in support of women with the dimpled skin.
She said: “Also, Barbie should make dolls with cellulite!!!
"Hahaha!!! After all, around 95% of ALL women have it!!!"
