Top 10 Most Beautiful and Famous Plus Size Models

In the 2010s, one of the new trends in the fashion world was the open presentation of puffy women, in the manner of “we are, we are noticed, we exist.” This is because for decades, models on the pages of glossy magazines in new fashionable lingerie collections have all been selected one slimmer than the other, weighing up to 60, no more. This injustice came to be corrected by Plus-Size models, who are aware of the advantages of their magnificent bodies, are proud of them, are not shy about them and are ready to show them in the juiciest angle to the whole world.

At the same time, the first Plus-Size models were presented by modeling agencies back in the 1970s. Until then, buxom beauties had to work directly with retail chains, designers, lingerie manufacturers, and magazines in very limited portions compared to the accepted ideals of female figures. However, over the past decade, the plus size fashion industry has blossomed, raising a generation of its own stars. Fashion designers are finding more and more income potential in plus size clothing, inviting the juiciest, most beautiful and most famous of them into their advertising campaigns and on the catwalks.

Here is a new rating of the TOP-10 ” The most beautiful and famous Plus-Size models ” of the modern modeling business. This list includes not only the hottest women but also the most successful and ambitious them. Many of them, beautiful and loved in large magnificent forms, rode a wave of public protest against the “walking hangers” that flooded the world’s catwalks.
