What is sexy? Well, it depends when you're asking. The ideals of sex appeal have evolved a lot over the past century.
什么是性感？這要看你是在哪個時代問的。過去一百年間，性感的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)經(jīng)歷了巨大的演變。

In the 1900s, it was a given that women would wear corsets under their dresses. The corsets played up the ideal hourglass figure, creating the impression of an S-shaped body. Stomachs were sucked in, making hips and breasts look bigger by comparison.
20世紀(jì)初，女性長裙里面穿緊身胸衣被認(rèn)為是理所當(dāng)然。 緊身胸衣塑造了完美的沙漏型身材，呈現(xiàn)出S型曲線。緊身胸衣有收腹效果，相比之下，臀部和胸部顯得更豐滿。

Things started to shift in the 1910s, as make-up grew in popularity among the Hollywood set. However, wearing make-up was still frowned upon by some, so many women would hide it and apply surreptitiously to play up their features, taking cues from the motion picture industry's trend-setting starlets.
20世紀(jì)10年代，化妝在好萊塢逐漸風(fēng)靡，性感的定義開始有所轉(zhuǎn)變。然而，有些人仍反對化妝，因此很多女性會模仿電影業(yè)里引領(lǐng)潮流的年輕女星，偷偷摸摸地化妝以凸顯自己的面部特征。
