She was rejected in the early years due to her weight and short height but later found fame through the 2011 documentary, Heavy.

She truly is a role model and we can’t have enough of her! Number 8. Tara Lynn Famous as a plus size lingerie model, Lynn has made her presence felt in the fashion world.

Her love for her body can be seen on her Instagram page and we are already going gaga over her! Number 6. Denise Bidot You knew the girl was in the right direction since her walk as a plus size model for Serena Williams during the New York Fashion week 2014. She was the biggest girl with a 14 size among a lot of size zero ladies but that made her experience all the more ‘surreal’! She started off her career as an actor and moved to makeup industry when she was asked by a photographer at the Tyra Banks show to step in front of the camera. The rest is history so we can call it a good decision, right? Number 5. Candice Huffine The curvy size 12 model was a teenage beauty back in the day and signed her first modeling contract in 2000. She refused to lose weight for an agent who wanted to hire her after she moved to New York but as you can see, she totally rules the plus size world! You know she is different from the rest because she was the first plus size model to feature in the Pirelli Calendar. Her A- list work comprises of posing for Vogue, V Magazine and Glamour. But we all fell in love with her in 2016 during her Lane Byrant’s campaign, #ImNoAngel. You go girl! Number 4. Fluvia Lacerdo The plus sized Gisele Bundchen is a Brazilian model who has posed for Vogue Italy, Bust and Beautiful. The curvaceous woman has been the face of brands like Torrid, Kmart, Fashion Bug and lgigi. She is a true inspiration for women who are struggling with body image issues. As per Lacerdo, she was always a plus size model and has never been on a diet because it made her feel like a ‘slave’. She even has her own label of lingerie, isn’t that exciting? Number 3. Philomena Kwao Born in London to Ghanaian parents, Philomena was discovered in 2012 when her friend sent her pictures for a model search. She rose to fame after she became the face of Torrid, a clothing brand. But that’s not all to her credit; she was plastered all over Cosmopolitan UK, Sports Illustrated and Pride magazine! If you are already in love with her, wait because there is more. This woman heads a business called ‘The Lily Project’ to answer health queries of women and motivate them for a healthier body rather than size zero! Now that’s a real initiative, respect! Number 2. Nadia Aboulhosn The exotic beauty from Miami with Lebanese roots is more than just a pretty face. She came into limelight when she won the American Apparel’s XL Model Search in 2011 and earned the title of “New Kim Kardashian”! That really is a big thing buddy! This blogger was even hired as a designer and face for boohoo.com. She surely has a lot of talent in her basket, like really a lot because she is even a motivational speaker about body positivity. Do we need more reasons to fall for her? Number 1. Jennie Runk This gorgeous babe was discovered in 2003 at the age of 13 while she was volunteering at cat adoption department, Missouri. Here’s the clue girls, start loving animals and you might end up with a modeling gig! Jokes apart, Runk was asked to either gain or lose weight if she wanted to model because her size 8 was between plus and straight size. The girl decided to gain and entered the modeling world with a size 10-12! She made the headlines in 2013 when H&M hired her for their summer swimwear campaign. That made her the company’s first ever plus size girl, amazing! These hotties are changing the notion about beauty in the fashion world.
