Hilary Duff Bikini
From LoveToKnow Swimsuits
Paparazzi and curious fans came together when the now infamous Hilary Duff bikini photos were made available for general viewing. Although many feel that it is ridiculous that such an everyday event was made extraordinary (by way of the ever-present photogs), that's just the way it seems to be in today's celebrity-hungry world. However, if there was a doubt in anyone's mind, Ms. Duff certainly has the body to pull off the look!
The Hilary Duff Bikini Cover
For the July 2007 edition of Shape magazine, Hilary Duff, bikini-clad again, appeared on the cover in a hot red number, that effectively proved that little Lizzie McGuire is all grown up!
She gave an interview about what was involved in getting her body not just bikini ready, but magazine cover bikini ready, which, as anyone who glances at Sports Illustrated knows, is no small feat.
Ms. Duff acknowledged that being in the public eye is far from easy because everyone is always scrutinizing you and ready to criticize. Indeed, even though she was in excellent condition for the Shape cover, there were those in the blogosphere who snarked about her waist, thighs and stomach. It's jealous and insipid comments like these, some would argue, that contribute to the unhealthy attitude towards food and body image so prevalent in our culture today.
Fortunately, Hilary Duff, bikini-clad and all, has the right attitude; one that, hopefully, her fans will take it to heart. A member of the “Stay fit. Eat Right. Looking good, California!” campaign, an organization that targets children and tries to impart healthful living policies, Ms. Duff knows it’s more important to be at one’s premium health, rather than fitting into some cookie-cutter mold shaped by Hollywood.
Achieving Hilary Duff's Bikini Body
Ms. Duff admits to having had a terrible, if not typical, teen’s diet. She was obsessed with burgers, pizza and fries. She worked hard to give them up and doesn’t miss them now. Diet alone won’t get you a bikini-ready body, but it helps.
Even if you’re in good shape, your diet affects your skin and overall look, so a healthier diet definitely makes for a better figure. Hilary Duff also does Pilates, an excellent exercise for overall health. It tones and strengthens, while emphasizing flexibility. You can also target specific areas for more work. She interchanges Pilates with a basic cardio workout, such as the treadmill and elliptical machines. She's quick to make the point, however, that Pilates has really changed her body; lengthening and strengthening to help her feel more powerful.
Eat Right and Look Great
Hilary Duff’s attitude towards eating is that it should be fun. She tries to maintain a healthy balance, which is the best way to maintain a bikini body. Remember, carbohydrates are necessary for good health, so cutting them in favor of more protein will do you no favors in the long run. You should eat what you enjoy but maintain moderation. All of that hard work will be apparent when you hit the beach!
Finding Hilary Duff’s Bikinis
If you’ve seen Hilary Duff bikini pictures online, and think you’d look good in the same bikini, unfortunately, it’s not easy to find. While Ms. Duff has a clothing line, she currently does not do swim wear. However, some good hunting will easily yield you a strapless black bikini, such as the one she was recently seen wearing. She was also photographed wearing an even cuter giraffe-patterned bikini. You can find one at The Gap, although it’s a bit sexier and not quite as fun.
Keep an Open Mind
It’s very easy to look at Hilary Duff bikini photos and find yourself judging her or yourself accordingly, but try to avoid it. Whatever your size, the important thing is to be healthy and happy with yourself as you are. And as for Ms. Duff, what matters most is her talent, not her looks, no matter what the magazines say!
