You can always count on Lili Reinhartto get real about personal topics, from body image to mental health. On stage at the 2018 Glamour Women of the Year Summit on Sunday, November 11, the Riverdale star opened up even more in a powerful speech.
Reinhart kicked off her remarks by discussing a recent struggle: constantly seeing herself on social media and in paparazzi photos. "I became hyper-aware of my changing body," she said. "I could see the difference in my shape in photos and wondered if anyone else was noticing. I felt this strange, constant struggle of having to live up to the expectation of the appearance that I had already established to the world."
Those expectations were a looming—and unfair—stressor, coming from all angles. Media, she said, is often responsible for enforcing unrealistic ideals for young women like her. But, she added, it's up to young women to start altering the narrative.
The 22-year-old said she wants the conversation around women's bodies to change, not just for herself but for generations to come. "I think about when I have kids in the future," Reinhart said. "Will my daughter be self-conscious about gaining weight? Will she feel the need to explain her body or justify it to anyone as it changes? Will she feel that same need that I do now—to apologize to her peers and say, 'My body doesn’t usually look like this,' or 'I’m just a little heavier than usual right now'? How utterly ridiculous is it that we even think about explaining the nature of our bodies to other people?"
Reinhart ended her speech asking the women in the audience to follow her lead: Forget unrealistic standards and celebrate one another's individual beauty. "Remind yourself that this perfect world you see online or in magazines…in movies and television…are presented to you through many different filters," she said. "Do not set impossible goals of meeting those fake standards. It’s unrealistic to think that your body or my body will ever look like anyone else’s. That’s not the way it’s supposed to be. We are all imperfectly beautiful."
The Riverdale star has always been honest about her struggles with body image and mental health on her personal social media accounts. In the October issue of Glamour, she opened up about experiencing body dysmorphia relating to her acne. “I have a specific type of body dysmorphia that stems from acne. I see any acne on my face as an obsessive thing. [It’s] the only thing I can think about, and it makes me want to hide," she said.
As she reiterated in her speech, Reinhart's not going to apologize for being exactly who she is anytime soon. “Sometimes I feel like I look like shit. Sometimes I don’t want to talk to anyone. And I’m allowed to have those days,” she told Glamour. “I’m not going to apologize for that.”
接纳自己，每个人都是不完美的尤物"We exist in a world today where everything can be faked or fixed. Noses can be changed, and stomachs can be tightened, and cellulite can be lasered away, apparently. Because that’s what we are told to do, which is alter ourselves in order to be beautiful.
"For the past year…I’ve been quietly trying to navigate my fluctuating weight, and I’ve faced criticism in the past for talking about my body image. People told me that I didn’t have the right to talk about being self-conscious about my body because I was skinny.
"And I understand how it seems inappropriate for someone who is average size to talk about problems with weight gain. But, my point is, I didn’t think anything was wrong with my body until I was in an industry that rewards and praises people for having a smaller waist than I will everhave. It felt unfair to think that I would never have an industry-perfect body, just because I wasn’t genetically built a certain way. I was exposed to young women, smaller than I was, telling me that they needed to lose weight.
"So I became hyper-aware of my changing body. I could see the difference in my shape in photos and wondered if anyone else was noticing. I felt this strange, constant struggle of having to live up to the expectation of the appearance that I had already established to the world. So I found myself examining my body constantly in the mirror. Sometimes thinking, 'OK, like, I was being too hard on myself. Everything's fine. I’m still the same size. Everything is fine.”
"Only go back to the mirror a few hours later…and notice that my stomach looked completely different. So I was thinking, Was my reflection lying to me? How can my body look so different over the course of one day and why do I feel like I need to apologize to the world for my ever-changing self? I didn’t want the world to think I was catfishing them with my appearance or making myself out to be a certain size and shape when clearly my body was changing.
"So I told myself…If I can see this change then other people can too. Reflections don’t lie. Or do they? And is that body dysmorphia? Or is this the normal part of being a woman that no one really talks about?
"I think about when I have kids in the future. And will my daughter be self-conscious about gaining weight? Will she feel the need to explain her body or justify it to anyone as it changes? Will she feel the same need that I do now—to apologize to her peers and say, 'My body doesn’t usually look like this,' or 'I’m just a little heavier than usual right now'? How utterly ridiculous is it that we even think about explaining the nature of our bodies to other people?
"But it’s because we don’t want them to judge us. Because judgment and criticism have always existed. It’s just that now, everyone can be a critic and can share it publicly and without hesitation, at the push of a button.
"I used to look at all the magazine covers near the checkout line at the grocery store when I was younger. And sometimes the cover would show a celebrity with the headline, 'Here’s what she really looks like!' And I wanted to see, obviously. I wanted to see what was underneath, and I wanted to see the flaws. Everyone wants to see the flaws of another person. Because we want to see glimpses of our own insecurities in them. We want to know that we aren’t the only ones
"From a young age we are unknowingly being trained by magazines, marketing, and all forms of media into thinking that having cellulite or not wearing makeup is worthy of being publicly shamed. So there was no way in hell that as young women digesting this media, we weren’t all going to try and hide those parts of ourselves from then on. We aren’t born with these insecurities. We are told to be insecure about certain things. We are conditioned to feel ashamed or embarrassed about certain parts of ourselves.
"The world is not going to reform tomorrow. We can’t rely on those who profit from our perceived flaws to change their ways. There is no easy fix to the ideas of women that have existed for hundreds of years. So that leaves us with one option, which is changing it ourselves. Showing what’s real with no filter and certainly with no shame.
"You are helping the movement of strong, modern women when you show the parts of yourself that we have been forever been told to hide. So as a first step, I encourage you to find a healthy balance between expressing the natural, vulnerable side of yourself with the glamorous, contoured side. As much as I like to share photos from shoots and red carpets, I think it’s much more important to show what I look the other 99 percent of the time.
"Some days I feel strong and confident. And sometimes I’m sucked into the rabbit hole of awful comments, where strangers are criticizing parts of myself that I wasn’t even aware of.
"So how do I let every day be one of those victorious days, where I feel invincible? I don’t have the perfect solution. But I have discovered some things that help me have those better days. I started to purge myself of content that made me feel less beautiful on a daily basis. I unfollowed the accounts on Instagram that made me question the shape and curves of my own body.
"I also started living a more active lifestyle because I wanted to feel healthy on the inside, which required some thoughtful effort on my part. But I wanted to know that I was healthy and strong without having identical measurements to those other women that I'm seeing.
"Remind yourself that this perfect world you see online, in magazines, in movies and TV, are presented to you through many different filters. So do not set impossible goals of meeting those fake standards. It’s unrealistic to think that your body or my body will ever look like anyone else’s. That’s not the way it’s supposed to be.
"We are all imperfectly beautiful, so let’s embrace that. And practice that in a healthy way. There is a massive, worldwide community of women who are rooting for beauty to be recognized in every shape and color that we come in. Events like this Glamour Summit are a part of that movement.
"So embracing your natural beauty does not exclude anyone. There is no fine print. You can be naturally beautiful with acne or scars, cellulite or curves. So let’s celebrate each other, and ourselves, as we are, as we will be, and as we were meant to be. Unique. Imperfect. Beautiful. And so incredibly powerful."

《莉莉·莱因哈特的化妆指南》
Ever wondered what it would be like to get ready with Lili Reinhart? Well, for starters, it involves eating Chinese food in her bathroom — which, for the record, we're extremely here for.
In a new Vogue video, the Riverdale star shared all of her best tips>"Being>For her brows, Lili applies Anastasia Beverly Hills's Brow Powder with a small angled brush to enhance her natural shape. "I used to pluck all these hairs right here, which I learned was a big mistake," she says, referring to the innermost corners of her brows, near the nose bridge. "You should not do that."
Moving>To get mile-long lashes, she uses an eyelash curler ("which always kind of scares me,") followed by a few coats of black mascara. Next, she uses her finger to dab highlighter "wherever the light naturally hits," and sets her skin with loose powder — an important step to lock everything in and boost wear time.
"I always like to do lip colors that are as close to my natural lip color," she says before applying MAC Lipstick in Brave, a shimmery pink-beige. However, nude lipstick is not>The final look gives off a quintessentially "no-makeup makeup" vibe, which Lili confirms is great for an "everyday look." Another thing she loves it for? "Eating fried wontons in your bathroom," she says. "Or not. You can wear this anywhere."
Not unlike an episode of Riverdale, my interview with Lili Reinhart (aka The CW show’s beloved Betty Cooper) featured a series of trials and tribulations, was teeming with excitement, unveiled untold truths, and concluded with the ultimate suspenseful cliffhanger: a dial tone.
“I know it’s been kind of a pain in the ass to set this up,” she points out almost immediately when we first connect over the phone. “My schedule is stupid, so I apologize for that.”
Considering that the actress is in the midst of filming Riverdale’s heavily anticipated second season in Vancouver, Canada, it's a testament to her character and professionalism that she's even apologizing—an unnecessary gesture, considering I'm more than grateful to share a brief 20 minutes with her.
Although our conversation ultimately ends with an abrupt air of mystery (with poor cell reception likely being the culprit), it's clear that the actress proves mature well beyond her 21 years. Lili Reinhart isn’t Betty Cooper, but her resilient manner, thoughtful responses, and innate love of product and beauty (all punctuated with a refreshing dose of wit and transparency) certainly doesn’t go unnoticed.
With Riverdale being such a knockout success (talk to any viewer and they’ve likely binged the entire first season in two days), Reinhart has had her fair share of interviews over the past few months. A consistent theme: the inherent difference between Betty Cooper’s rosy demeanor and Reinhart’s actual (and to be honest far more relatable) IRL personality. Not that we don’t appreciate the poignancy of Betty’s peppy persona, we do, but it would be unnatural and contrived for Reinhart to replicate Cooper just for the sake of her fans’ idealized expectations, a topic she’s openly discussed with other publications.
However, curiosity getting the better of me, I can’t help but muse how Reinhart’s approach to beauty compares to that of Betty’s pristine coiffed ponytails and barely there makeup.
“I do actually use a lot of the same makeup that I wear as Betty>“I’m also really obsessed with the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow Face Sculpt & Highlight($68)—oh my gosh, it’s just so gorgeous. I was wearing it for the show and finally had to get it to use in real life, too,” she laughs. “Then for day-to-day, I’ll use Tom Ford’s Traceless Foundation Stick ($88) with a BeautyBlender.On the show, we actually use a mix of the Kat Von D Lock It Foundation($36) and Josie Maran’s Vibrancy Argan Oil Foundation Fluid ($45), which creates a really gorgeous glowy illusion that translates really well>“I guess, when it comes to beauty, I’m very much like Betty in the sense that I don’t wear a lot of makeup, and day-to-day, my look is very natural. For instance, I’m out to breakfast right now, and I don’t have any makeup>The actress’s now-natural approach hasn’t always been her go-to aesthetic. Her current less-is-more strategy has been cultivated over time, with age and an uptick in confidence. “In middle school and high school, I struggled a lot with my skin, so I would try to overcompensate by wearing foundation every day. But now, whenever I get the chance, I like to let my skin breathe. It’s actually become really important to me because I wear makeup 14 hours a day, five days a week, so when I don’t need to wear makeup, I’m not going to.”
Intrigued by her mention of problematic skin(something that many women, including myself, struggle with), I point out how mesmerized I am by Betty’s flawless complexion whenever I’m watching the show. I hear a chuckle>However, she does take responsibility for her skin through her daily routine: “I wash my face right when I wake up, and since going to bed with your makeup>In fact, Reinhart and I immediately bond over our mutual love for celebrity esthetician Renée Rouleau’s skincare line.As it turns out, we have similar skin types (ahem, acne-prone) and we take a few minutes to compare notes and fawn over a few of our favorite hero products (The Anti Bump Solution , $47.50, and The Rapid Response Detox Mask,$63.50).
As we continue talking, I find myself feeling increasingly refreshed and heartened by Reinhart’s spirit—warmed that something as simple as a gilded and shimmery face mask can make her giddy, and appreciative of her point-blank refusal to present anything other than 100% authenticity to her fans when it comes to her beauty regimen.
“How I look>If you’re>“Hmm, not much, I mean they’ve learned how annoying it is to dye their hair—it’s like, yeah, well, welcome to the club. I do feel bad for K.J. though because he has to dye his hair every two weeks and he thinks he’s going to be bald by the end of the show. But then I’m like, hey, beauty is pain. I have to get highlights every month and a half, and my hair gets put through the ringer and it sucks but what can you do? It’s our job.”
Since Reinhart’s hair hardly looks damaged (as far as I can tell from the comfort of my couch), I ask her what her secret is. “I’m lucky enough that my hair colorist in Beverly Hills, Matt Rez, makes the health of my hair his top priority. Truly, finding a good hair colorist is step number>With hair products on the brain (and our heads), our brief but telling interview has come to an end. Reinhart is off to start her day of work, and I’m left with the resounding impression that the mysterious town of Riverdale is only the first stop on a long, successful journey for this thoughtful actress on-the-rise.
