5 Russian Plus Size Models who Stopped having Complexes because of their appearance and Achieved Success

Peter Paul Rubens believed that the human body is God’s creation, which in no case should be embarrassed. The artist admired magnificent forms, considering them the standard of beauty. Today, many girls adhere to this opinion and are actively building modeling careers.

1. Anastasia Kvitko

Anastasia is a Russian curvaceous model who reminds everyone of the famous actress and model Kim Kardashian. She often posts candid photos on her Instagram page and shows her “outstanding” body parts. The model likes to shoot in the style of “belfi” (selfie of the back and buttocks. – ed.). The girl does not talk about her weight, but it is known that with a height of 175 cm, the parameters of her figure are: 95-63-104.

The model does not like to remember her childhood, as her peers avoided communicating with her, considering her too complete. To get in shape, Nastya enrolled in the athletics section, and a little later got a job at the New Stars modeling agency, but did not achieve much success.

The career began in 2011 when the famous photographer Anvar Norov saw pictures of a girl with magnificent breasts, an aspen waist, big buttocks and offered to work together. In 2013, Anastasia’s career took off sharply after moving to Moscow. In the capital, she was instantly bombarded with offers. One of the most spectacular was a photo shoot for RHYME Magazine.

In the winter of 2015, the girl was invited to work at Kanye West Clothing, a fashion company. The designer was Kanye West, one of the wealthiest American rappers. In 2016, Kvitko starred in the video for the song Ay mi Dios! (“Lord”) popular in the US and Latin America hip-hop artists El Chacal, Yandel and Pitbull. In the video, she played the girlfriend of the DJ, whom she cheated on. The end of the story is sad – the heroine dies.

“I don’t eat meat and chicken, I avoid fast food and I prefer a healthy diet,” the model says about her regimen.

At the end of 2016, Anastasia took third place in the ranking of “The Sexiest Women in Russia” according to Maxim magazine, losing only to Vera Brezhneva and Glucose. Currently, the girl advertises underwear, clothing, nutrition for athletes and swimwear. Today Kvitko lives and works in the USA. 

2. Ekaterina Zharkova

Ekaterina is one of the most popular models with a non-standard figure. In November 2006, she became the first plus-size fashion model to appear on the pages of the Russian magazine Cosmopolitan. Three years later, Zharkova won the Russian contest of curvaceous models “Sweet Woman”. It is known that at the age of 14, on the advice of her parents, Zharkova entered a modeling agency, where she worked with Masha Malinovskaya.

“In general, from childhood, my mother inspired me that I was the most charming and attractive, despite the fact that I was plump. Since then, it has been impossible to convince me otherwise, ”said Ekaterina. 

In 2003, the girl moved to Moscow: initially she worked as a producer of various projects on the Muz-TV channel, and also hosted a morning show on TNT. The real popularity came to the girl in 2012 after she took part in a nude photo shoot. This idea came to Ekaterina when she learned that the girl advertising underwear died of anorexia. 

“Let them look at me and at her and understand: only a 14-year-old girl can be so thin. And I’m thirty years old. I have been a yoga professional for a long time. But I’m not losing weight! The modeling business, imposing standards 90-60-90, does everything to make people hate themselves, ”said the star. 

The girl wears the 52nd clothing size and the 42nd shoe size, and her parameters are 97-79-112. Zharkova is a sought-after model: her pictures often appear in fashion magazines, where she demonstrates swimwear and underwear. 

Unlike many show business stars, the model is not shy about showing her figure “as is”, without retouching and photo editors. When Catherine’s daughter was small, the young mother breastfed her, recorded videos and uploaded them to the Web without hesitation.

In pictures from everyday life, Katya demonstrates an imperfect body with noticeable manifestations of cellulite, explaining that she loves herself in all manifestations: “Life can end tomorrow. And will it matter that you have folds at the waist when you leave? Live for yourself. Take everything you can from life, ”Zharkova calls.

3. Dilyara Larina

The rating of the most beautiful plus-size Russian models also includes Dilyara Larina. The girl boasts not only a successful modeling career, but also a good business in this area: she opened her own Plus Size Model Agency. 

Larina got into the fashion industry in 2006: she became the face of several brands, her photos appeared on billboards, and the commercial in which she got the main role was also popular.

For several years, the model tried to realize herself as an actress: she went to auditions, took part in filming, and worked as a TV presenter. All this time she lost weight and got better again, and in 2010 she became a plus-size model. Dilyara was successful and was one of the first to popularize these standards in Russia. 

“Love every part of you – every fat and do not consider it superfluous! 

Stop striving for a different type of physique, having magnificent forms – delusionally tormenting yourself and striving for anorexic press cubes, ”advises Larina. 

Dilara also published the book “In the body of non-standard”. Larina wears the 54th clothing size with a weight of 80 kilograms. She is sure that girls need to fight their complexes and not be afraid to be themselves, even if the figure is far from model standards. 

4. Natalia Pampukha

Natalya Pampukha is known to many as a participant in the project “Top Model in Russian”. A charismatic and bright girl was remembered by many: although she did not become a winner, she is very glad that she got on the show. 

“I am grateful to the entire staff of the show for the unique opportunity to learn from the best masters of the industry,” the girl said.

The model in one of the interviews admitted that she was absolutely satisfied with her figure: “You need to accept yourself and“ carry ”as the highest jewel of your life.” Her measurements: 118-94-120 cm, she wears the 56th clothing size and feels absolutely great at the same time. Natalia often appears on glossy covers and advertises plus size clothes. 

Interestingly, Pampukha never dreamed of being a model, but the most ordinary photo session changed everything. Now Natalia is working with the modeling agency RF Models. The girl also hinted that she was working with the Italian modeling agency BeautyFull Models, which is located in Milan.

In 2020, the model took part in the catwalk presentations of clothes organized by FABERLIC. Now Natalia continues to act in films, maintains her blog, teaches at the BIGMODEL model school. In the classroom, she helps her students learn the basics of the modeling business, having plus-size sizes.

5. Alice Spiller

The girl works in a very unusual genre, so she is known not only in Russia, but also in foreign countries. She is not only a Russian plus-size model, but also a burlesque show actress, jazz singer, director and leader of her own show troupe Sinful Coquettes, in which at one time there were only curvaceous girls. Alice, like many girls with outstanding forms, was ashamed of her body in her youth. 

“Every time I experimented on myself, changed something in myself, but the thought that all my failures in life are due to my excess weight never left my head,” says Alice.

At the age of 13, the girl became interested in theater. But, afraid to show herself and succumbing to public opinion about the unreliability of the creative sphere, Alice decided not to connect her life with the acting profession. Schiller studied journalism and linguistics, but this did not bring her joy. Soon Alice abandoned everything and completely switched to theatrical activities.

For several years, the girl learned the basics of theatrical art, staging musicals, and exclusively in English. Alice bears the title of “Queen of Burlesque” along with Dita Von Teese.

It is noteworthy that the model does not try to lose weight at all – moreover, success came to her when she recovered. Now the girl lives in complete harmony with herself and loves her body, which she maintains in good shape with the help of small physical exertion and proper nutrition.

Alice is proud of her parameters – 100-78-120 – and does not have time to accept invitations to shoot from representatives of popular clothing brands. It is interesting that at one time, when the girl lost weight dramatically, customers reduced their interest in her. So the burlesque diva came to the conclusion that she looks great only with extra pounds.
