Mari Bridi, the influential figure known for her captivating presence, took to Instagram on Monday to share a collection of photographs that radiate charm, beauty, and undeniable sensuality. As she approaches her 40th birthday on December 15th, Bridi chose to unveil these images as a powerful reflection on femininity and self-expression.
In a heartfelt caption accompanying the photos, Bridi delves into the essence of her message, “For whom does a woman dress? I think we grew up hearing that we should choose how to dress always with the other in mind. And that took away our power to choose just for ourselves. I like shorter clothes, so what?” she begins, asserting her right to express her personal style without judgment.
She continues, “I like a wrinkled sweatshirt, I like it and that’s it! It’s about me and my choices. When I did my first more ‘sensual’ shoot with Débora, I understood a lot of this, because I was there doing the photos I wanted to do. My body, my truth, my rules, right?! Yes!”
Bridi’s words resonate with a profound sense of ownership and self-acceptance. She elaborates on the impact of her work with photographer Débora, stating, “It was how I saw myself, how I felt at that moment, only through the lens of another woman. A woman who saw and helped me to potentiate all of this through her art. Throughout these shoots, a lot has changed, not only physically but mentally. I am very proud of all my versions.”
As she stands on the precipice of a new decade, Bridi embraces the evolving journey of self-discovery, “And on the verge of turning 40, I see myself already thinking about what my next shoot will be like, how I will externalize what I feel inside! Excited for this arrival.”
Bridi’s post has resonated deeply with her followers, who have showered her with words of admiration and support. Comments like “Stunning”, “She’s the power”, and “Perfect” reflect the overwhelming sense of empowerment and inspiration that her words and images have evoked.
Mari Bridi’s message serves as a powerful reminder to embrace our individuality, celebrate our own unique beauty, and choose how we dress and express ourselves with complete authenticity. Her post is a testament to the transformative power of self-love and the beauty of embracing every stage of life’s journey.
