Be persistent and consistent in everything you do. This too.
She hasn't been exposed to much until now so it may be a little shocking and scary for you, but your wife knows what all females know -- this is something we deal with every day of our lives (media images, what's acceptable) until we become comfortable in our own skin.
You're doing the right thing. Encouragement and support is the best you can offer and the message will eventually get through. The rest will be up to her.
The strongest of my girls is my 17-year old. She probably wouldn't be chosen as the most stunning young lady in a room of 30, but she truly knows that she's beautiful and wouldn't change a thing about herself. My oldest and my youngest aren't quite that confident. Go figure. *shrug*
