The 10 Hottest Plus Size Fashion Models

Lizzie Miller

   In 2009, Lizzie Miller posed nude for Glamour and produced an editorial that had the entire women's fashion world abuzz. The untouched photos showed Lizzie posing for a story about feeling comfortable in your skin, and the responses to her normal looking belly flooded in to Glamour and started a miniature body image revolution that's going strong but still has a ways to go. Lizzie's found steady work since this now infamous photo that, according to Glamour, gave them pause at only using super skinny women.

 Kaela Humphries

 

 

Kris Humphries is already associated with a certain curvy woman, but Kaela Humphries now makes two. The sister to the NBA superstar recently signed with Ford Models, and has already landed a gig in the lookbook for eloquii. Apparently she was briefly on an episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians and Kim was too busy to chill with her or something, but what matters is this mixed-race beauty will now be in front of the cameras more than ever.

 Nadia Aboulhosn

 

 

Nadia Aboulhosn first came to prominence when she won American Apparel's XL Model Search in 2011. The half-Lebanese Florida native quickly proved that she's more than just a pretty face. Besides modeling, Nadia also maintains a widely-read blog that has been profiled on Lucky, The New York Times, and Refinery29.

 Fluvia Lacerda

 

 

She is known as the the “plus-size Gisele Bündchen" and not just because they share the same homeland. Fluvia Lacerda is the plus-size model who's set to bust out of her native Brazil and quickly take over the world. Already have been featured in Vogue Italia in July 2012 and the February 2012 issue of Bust we're excited for what 2013 has in store for Fluvia. And while the Gisele comparisons may be a great launching point, we don't think Tom Brady could handle this body.

 

Ashley Graham

 

 

Ashley Graham made headlines when a commercial she starred in was banned for showing too much skin. The Lane Bryant commercial was not allowed to air before 8pm, which of course made it only more tantalizing. Besides being too racy for the airwaves, Ashley has also been featured in Vogue and Glamour, and was the face of several Levi's campaigns.

 Candice Huffine

 

 

Along with Tara Lynn and Robyn Tawley, Candice Huffine was one of the three women featured on the June 2011 issue of Vogue Italia for their Curvy Issue. Besides Glamour's untouched photos of Lizzie Miller, this was probably the next biggest step in bringing plus sized models to the forefront of the industry. After this groundbreaking cover, Candice went on to model in W, V Magazine, and German Vogue, and also scored the cover of the Fall 2012 issue of i-D.

 

Anansa Sims

 

 

 Anansa Sims was born with all the right genetics in place: her mother, was a supermodel who was the first African-American model on the cover of American Vogue  in 1974. As one of the most successful plus sized models, Anansa walked the Lane Bryant show in 2011, was in the September 2011 issue of Glamour, and has been included in national campaigns for Vassarette, Kohl's, Kmart and Forever 21.

 

 Tara Lynn

 

 

As one of the gorgeous women in Vogue Italia's famous June 2011 plus size editorial spread, Tara Lynn is one of the premiere plus size models that's basking in the spotlight. The curvy brunette used to deal with body image issues when she was younger, but now she's laughing at all the skinny haters after appearing in an H&M 2012 campaign.

 

Marquita Pring

 

 

Marquita Pring was another one of the beautiful ladies featured on the famous cover of Vogue Italia in June 2011. She shocked the world when she revealed that she actually adds padding to increase her size. Well it's certainly working for her, since she was featured in a Levi's ad campaign in 2011 and walked the 2010 Jean Paul Gaultier runway show in Paris.

 

 Robyn Lawley

 

 

Robyn Lawley is the hottest plus size model out there, and arguably the most successful. She was one of the three models on the June 2011 issue of Vogue Italia, was the first plus size model to appear in a Ralph Lauren campaign in 2012, was featured on the May 2012 cover of France's Marie Claire, and was the first plus size model to appear in Vogue Australia. Which is a way of saying that the industry agrees with us on how bangin' she is.
