Stars and Representation

Katie Price has gone through many varied styles and different images in her lifetime in the public eye.

The first image is Katie Price in 1996, this is her in her naturalist form before she got her breast enlargements and some of her plastic surgery. This is because at this time she wasn't in the public eye therefore she wouldn't feel the need to look her best or meet anyone's expectations of her. However in 1996 she adopted the name Jordan which was alter ego so could be seen as artificial because she wasn't acting as her normal self, which was Katie, she was acting as a different person.








The second image of Katie Price was taken in 2001 which was when she had her breasts enlarged from a cup size B to a DD which is massive transformation. As well as this Katie had liposuction, lip fillers and nose jobs which would be seen as very artificial and could've been done because at this point Katie was in the public eye alot due to being a glamour model. However a year after Katie gave birth to her first son Harvey which in a way would've made people respect her more as a mother. This differs from the first image as she seems to be wearing a lot of heavy make-up as well as dying her hair blonde.




The third image of Katie price is from 2004 and in this picture she seems to have toned down the heavy make-up as well as dressing casual. Around this time the representation of her was changing as she was introduced into television shows like I'm a celebrity get me out of here and a year after this she released her own her fitness CD which would been seen as typical for a 'celebrity' to do alongside her documentaries because she would be used to having her life constantly in the public eye for everyone and anyone to see which the picture shows, her at a social convention.

The fourth image is Katie Price in 2009, it was around this time that Katie started doing a lot of different media such as having her own column in O.K magazine and various autobiographies. In 2009 she shifted from being a model to a business woman who had her own equestrian range which included rugs, riding boots and even her own book collection. This would've been seen as typical of her due to her owning horses and at this time she would've appealed to people who liked horses as well as kids who her books was aimed at. The image of her is from a book signing she did for one of her autobiographies.

 The fifth image is Katie Price in 2012, she had now moved from books and television into the music industry where she released her own album however she was never respected as an artist and more of a business woman as well as a author. The image is of her promoting her new perfume which would be seen as typical for her to have many product lines as they would be more successful due to having many fans which are mainly women.

The last image is Katie Price currently in 2015. In this picture you can tell that she is doing an interview for This morning, the TV show. Here she's presented as quite natural because she's discarded the heavy make-up as well as getting a breast reduction. Her representation is different here than it is to earlier in her life as she's respected more as a mother as well as a businesswoman. Now she would appeal middle-aged woman as well as other mothers.
