Zoe Saldana’s weight, Allure has always been the fluffiest of beauty magazines, as
if tailor-made for reading during a pedicure. The June 2013 cover with
Zoe Saldana made an extremely odd editorial choice: it listed the
actress’ weight on the cover. “Zoe Saldana, 115 Pounds of Grit And Heartache,” the cover line reads. What the fuck, Allure?
I suppose they’re insinuating that Saldana is a wispy little thing but
she’s also gritty and tough, because apparently you can’t be skinny and tough, or something?But, really, who cares? It’s not necessary to know how much an actress weighs, especially since the numbers on a scale reveal very little of the person’s actual health. (Take, for instance, Anne Hathaway’s dramatic weight loss for “Les Miserables,” which by all accounts, made her truly miserable and unhealthy.) There’s so much pressure for women, other actresses and models in particular, to look attain a mainstream definition of attractiveness, and how much other women with other bodies weigh is not helpful.
