Model Refuses To Pluck Her Unibrow, Challenges Beauty Stereotypes

ADVERTISEMENT

Eyebrows have been the center of – and sometimes the victim of – all sorts of creative (not to mention bizarre) beauty trends throughout the years. From thin brows to bushy brows, feather brows to squiggly brows, magazines and beauty blogs are never short of ideas about what you should be doing with those furry things on your face.

One thing they never instruct you to do however is to let your eyebrows meet, thereby forming the much-lamented unibrow, but one woman is determined to prove that they’re nothing to be ashamed of. As you can see from the pictures below, Greek Cypriot student and model Sophia Hadjipanteli, who’s naturally a blonde, even dyes her unibrow black to emphasize it more. And, with over 60k followers on Instagram, there’s no shortage of people subscribing to her #UnibrowMovement.

Sophia openly accepts that her look is not to everybody’s taste, and she understands that some people find it unattractive, but she isn’t concerned about what other people think of her. “I personally think my face looks better this way,” she said. Despite being called the unibrow girl, she’s totally cool about it.

She recently posed as Frida Kahlo, the famous Mexican painter also known for her striking unibrow, after getting inundated with requests to dress up like the iconic artist. “I have always loved her and thought she was so beautiful. After doing that, I feel like I have labeled myself as someone who is embracing being myself and isn’t necessarily being natural, but instead just doing what I want.”

    So, she'll dye her hair, wear makeup, and do all the other things ladies do for beauty, yet, she won't pluck her eyebrows? This is just for attention. And it worked.

    Yep, exactly... I mean, she shaves her arms, legs and armpits... Probably some other parts of her body too... :D However, I think she is still pretty, though she would look much better with trimmed eyebrows.

    Sorry, but i think it looks ridiculous with the dyed hair! Nobody needs to pluck their brows if they don't want to, but that just looks odd.

    Yeah, sorry I wasn't paying attention to that, but regardless - the contrast looks really tacky and overly attention-seeking
