Sexy: Percieved Beauty



After fully reading “Sexy,” I feel there is an interesting stress on perceived beauty. This idea of perceived beauty can be best seen through Dev’s wife. Miranda goes to an Indian grocery store to try and look up Madhuri Dixit, the Bombay actress Dev said his wife resembles. Though she never actually sees her, Miranda assumes she is beautiful based on the actresses she saw. Yet in the first scene we meet Dev, he is buying multiple beauty products like renewal drops and face creams. What Dev buys may suggest that his wife is not as beautiful as the Bombay actresses but Miranda only sees the beautiful actress.
