Although it is no longer practiced, foot binding has been a popular beauty trend in China for centuries. Women’s feet were tightly wrapped to keep them small, which was considered highly attractive.

These “lotus feet” symbolized femininity, status, and grace. Despite the pain and lifelong disabilities caused by this practice, it remained common until the early 20th century.
