As the IG swarm would have it, Emily Ratajkowski's post-baby Instagram photo has got people talking. 

On Saturday, insta-famous mode<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/emily-ratajkowski-naked-pregnancy-speaks-about-relationship-with-her-body">l </a>Emily Ratajkowski posted a semi-naked photo on Instagram to promote a loungewear outfit from her label,&nbsp;Inamorata. What everyone noticed, was her extremely flat and toned belly, regardless of the fact that she had <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/Culture/emrata-shares-the-first-picture-with-her-son-on-instagram">just had&nbsp;her son a&nbsp;few days before, on March 8th</a>. It&#39;s not the first time that Ratajkowski has become the centre of a social media storm.&nbsp;

The model is often&nbsp;accused of promoting&nbsp;an ideal of unattainable&nbsp;beauty, decidedly far removed from&nbsp;reality and&nbsp; the idea of body positivity, for which she advocates for.&nbsp;Moreover, <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/Culture/emrata-shares-the-first-picture-with-her-son-on-instagram">many criticise her for perpetuating unrealistic body image standards.</a>

Academic Professor Marika Tiggemann explained why this Instagram post caused negative reactions.

&ldquo;The fact of the matter is that most people don&rsquo;t look like that after they&rsquo;ve given birth, because most people don&rsquo;t look like that before they&rsquo;ve given birth, either,&rdquo; Professor Tiggemann said.&ldquo;And we find the research says that looking at unrealistically thin, idealised images basically just makes women feel bad about their own bodies.&rdquo;

So, sharing a photo of yourself, in which your body look good, can make other people feel bad with themselves and in some cases even have a negative impact on the mental health of someone.&nbsp;

But the questions remains open: is it right or wrong that a public figure, with a large number of&nbsp;followers, shares pictures of...well, their reality and life? No matter how unattainable it may seem?&nbsp;
