Throughout the years, the fashion industry has embraced different body types, from a curvy Marilyn to a thin Twiggy. However, today it seems that the image of a more relatable woman is being hailed as most desirable. Some brands are even doing away with Photoshop and letting their models’ “flaws,” such as stretch marks and cellulite, shine in their campaigns. Many of the models featured in these ads are body activists themselves and outspoken about body positivity and why you should truly love yourself for who you are. Now, thanks to social media, we can connect with these amazing women and get a daily dose of inspiration just by scrolling through their feed. Look below to meet some of our favorite body activists who are shaking up the industry.
Paloma had an ~iconic~ 2017 that is continuing right on into this year. She was one of the diverse faces to be a part of Rihanna’s launch campaign for Fenty Beauty and also posed for Glossier’s Body Hero campaign. She understands the reach and impact that she can have on people and believes that her purpose is to be of service to others. We love a selfless queen!
Barbie is as outspoken and bold as they come. Her show on Broadly called How to Behave even boasts that it is ‘definitely feminist propaganda.’ She, just like the other ladies on this list, embraces her body for what it is and loves every bit of it.
Precious Lee believes in just going for it when it comes to fashion. She thinks that what you wear should not depend on what size you are. Her confidence has paid off because this baddie is the newest addition to Khloé Kardashian’s Good American squad where she’ll be flaunting her curves in the season’s latest denim.
This freckled beauty started off her modeling career struggling to keep her weight down in order to work. Now that she’s embraced her body and is living a balanced life, she is in love with her new frame and has found so much success in just being herself.
Tabria Majors went viral last year after she posted a video of herself reading aloud hate comments that she received after she posted an audition for the Sport’s Illustrated Swimsuit Edition online. In the video, she flaunted her body and showed her haters that they had zero control over her emotions and would never have the power to bring her down. She ended up on top, posing in Sport’s Illustrated and gaining a huge following of people to inspire.
