Models Zendaya and Kendall Jenner Criticized for Appearing Older Than Their Age
Developing
In Short: Celebrities like Zendaya and Kendall Jenner are facing criticism for their mature looks, despite their relatively young ages.
Models Zendaya and Kendall Jenner have faced criticism for appearing older than their actual ages, according to reports. After Zendaya's visit to the US Open in a black midi dress and peep-toe heels, one observer noted, 'I have to say she looks a lot older than 24.
The criticism extends to other young models, including Kendall Jenner, who was spotted in London in a Bottega Veneta midi dress with boyfriend Jacob Elordi, and Kaia Gerber, the daughter of Cindy Crawford, who has also been criticized for looking older than her 24 years.
Zendaya, who gained prominence at 14 on the Disney series Shake It Up, responded to the criticism by stating, 'I think I do have wisdom to offer.
The Independent notes that the mature appearance of young models like Zendaya and Kendall Jenner is often attributed to their confidence and the beauty advice they receive from older family members or friends.
What's confirmed
What's still developing
- Even popular girls at school had an air of maturity that basically just came from confidence – or the beauty tips imparted by someone’s older sister.
- As such, the fact that I’m the same age as a model like Kendall Jenner simply does not compute in my brain.
- Similarly, Florence Pugh, 30, and Kylie Jenner, 29, are among stars who are often seen as presenting older than they are.
