Chrissy Teigen's No-Makeup Selfie Needs 'No Filter Necessary'
The sun shines, and Chrissy Teigen continues to be a bright spot on social media. The model and author has a voice entirely her own on Twitter and Instagram, and you could compare her updates to little pebbles of joy you collect and cherish during the times when social media takes a dark turn (as it’s wont to do these days). And when her husband, John Legend, gets in the mix, only good things ensue.
For example, there was that time Teigen and Legend prom-ified a movie night, complete with a homemade corsage and the quintessential prom pose photos. They’re like that couple that’s revoltingly cute, but just funny and self-aware enough about it that you want to third-wheel every date. And it’s not all jokes and faux Twitter feuds: Legend just posted a no-filter, barefaced photo of Teigen to Instagram, and his caption will yet again make your heart melt.
The two are currently vacationing in the Mediterranean, and yesterday Legend snapped a shot of Teigen and commented, “No filter necessary.” The man’s not wrong; Teigen is giving off a rosy glow. I mean, that skin! The photo takes on added significance when you consider what’s been going down with the star lately: as an avid social media user, Teigen’s recently opened up about the stress the platforms bring, saying that Instagram often makes her feel “insanely inadequate.”
Add in discovering an entire online forum created to hate on her, and it’s admirable that Teigen has the grit to continue standing up to trolls and mommy-shamers alike. So, this makes yesterday’s peaceful Instagram all the more impressive.
Even with the naysayers, the two appreciate Teigen as is. No makeup, period zits and all.
