Vicky Martín Berrocal is once again at the center of attention in Spanish media and social networks — this time because of a video the designer posted on her Instagram. In the footage, Vicky, wrapped in a black towel and sitting in a sauna, openly shows the cellulite on her legs and urges women not to hide something most of them have. Her words, “cellulite is not a flaw, but a part of life,” quickly spread through feeds and sparked a wave of support.
In the short video, Vicky not only shows her legs but also says she’s tired of hiding herself and is no longer going to do so. She emphasizes: “If a man loves me less because of cellulite — let him move on.” According to Divinity, this gesture has become a true manifesto against unrealistic beauty standards, quickly earning thousands of likes and hundreds of comments.
Personal experience and change
For Vicky Martín Berrocal, the topic of self-acceptance is nothing new. Several years ago, she spoke about her diagnosis of “obesity” and how she decided to give up “miracle diets” in favor of working with professionals. At the time, the designer lost more than 30 kilograms, wrote a book about her experience, and publicly admitted for the first time that she had cellulite. In one of her posts, Vicky remarked: “This is my reality, and I am not going to hide it.”
Looking back, she shared that even the short walk from her towel to the water at the beach was once a trial for her, due to insecurity and fear of judgment. Now Vicky speaks openly about her insecurities and encourages other women not to be afraid to be themselves.
Family and followers’ reaction
Vicky’s video sparked a strong reaction not only among fans but also in her family. One of the first to respond to the post was her daughter, Alba Díaz, who recently also shared her own feelings about her appearance. Alba admitted that she had gained six kilos and hadn’t exercised in a while, but emphasized: “I’m a person, not a robot. I love myself as I am.”
In the comments under Vicky’s video, many women thanked her for her honesty and courage. “Thank you for showing reality,” wrote followers. “Posts like this help others accept themselves and stop chasing unattainable ideals,” noted others. According to Divinity, the video gathered more than 11,000 likes and hundreds of supportive comments within a few hours.
