The article examines the detrimental effects that fashion media's regular exposure to the public eye has on the physical and mental well-being of its target demographic, which mostly consists of adolescents, young adults, and middle-aged women. This article examines the causes behind its emergence, including the impact of historical, economic, cultural, and other variables, in addition to beginning with the female subject. There is also the distinct aesthetic of Chinese entertainment culture, which is centered around youthful and slender shows that appear to be exclusively feminine but are actually loaded with masculine gaze and consumerism traps. In order to help modern women overcome body anxiety and eating disorders that are influenced by the media, this study offers further references and solutions based on identifying the source of the issue and summarizing prior experiences.
