Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous, but what we love most about her is her authenticity, and despite receiving backlash on social media in the past, she continues to make posts that make her happy. Take her latest offering, for example, because the Canary Black actress shared a photo dump that was both playful and poignant.
She made the post on Instagram, where she has 5.6 million followers, and it is a collection of thought-provoking quotes, including one about heartbreak and perspective, and then a bunch of silly cat videos (and honestly, a cat video is sometimes exactly what you need to brighten the mood). But the best offerings are those of the actress dressed in a flurry robe, wearing a tiara in her hair and statement bow earrings. Her makeup and hair look flawless, and her pet cat sits happily in her lap while she appears to put pink blush over its whiskers. The whole thing is a tad bizarre but also absolutely brilliant.
Kate Beckinsale Sends A Message That Everyone Needs To Hear
The lighthearted nature of the video contrasts with the seriousness of Beckinsale’s caption as she takes the time to acknowledge that the festive season is not always jolly and bright for everyone. While many people celebrate Christmas as a time of love and friendship, others do not have anyone, and the holidays make them feel even more lonely and isolated. Societal pressures, including gift-giving and financial strain, are also prevalent during this time of the year, and rather than ignore that, the actress wanted to highlight it and send a message of hope to those who may need to hear it.
“So many people facing Christmas this year with a heavy heart…..” she wrote. “If Christmas isn’t going to feel like Christmas then find your comfort and joy in doing you and being around other people doing the same, take your peace where you can, sing, however brokenly and badly like the birds sing,without giving a shit what other people think.” To conclude, she lets her fans know they are seen and she wishes them luck.
Fans have shared their struggles in the comments on the post to show solidarity and support. “I am struggling this holiday season as well. Going through a divorce after 23 years of marriage. First Christmas without everyone being in the same house,” a message reads. “Thank you for always sharing. I lost my father in September so this is the first holiday without him. I do have a heavy heart,” another person shared. These heartbreaking messages are just two of many!
This post and the message Beckinsale is sending are important, and the reactions make it clear that this is something many people need to see and hear this year.
