Some opportunities just make you stop scrolling.
The 2026 Torrid Casting Call is one of them.
And listen… we love a good casting call around here.
Especially one that isn’t asking you to shrink yourself, fit into a sample size or pretend to be someone you’re not.
That’s exactly why we’re excited to see the 2026 Torrid Casting Call return. Applications are officially open, and Torrid is once again looking for plus size women who wear sizes 10 to 30 to become its newest Faces of Torrid. The best part? You don’t need professional modeling experience. You just need to show up as yourself.
The 2026 Torrid Casting Call Is Looking for More Than Models
If you’ve followed Torrid’s annual Casting Call over the years, you already know this isn’t your typical model search.
Sure, there are photoshoots and campaigns waiting on the other side. But what has made the Casting Call stand out is its focus on celebrating the women who wear the clothes. Women with stories. Women with confidence. Women who are making an impact in their communities simply by showing up as themselves.
“This is your story and your moment,” Lisa Harper, CEO of Torrid, said in a statement.
“Every year, we’re inspired by the incredible women who step forward to share who they are and what makes them unique. Our Casting Call is about celebrating our customers, amplifying their voices and creating an environment where they feel empowered to take up space, connect with one another and know they belong exactly as they are.”
That community-first approach has become one of the reasons the Casting Call continues to resonate year after year. It feels less like a competition and more like a celebration of the women who have always deserved to see themselves represented.
Why This Opportunity Still Matters
Let’s face it. Shopping while plus size still isn’t the seamless experience it should be.
According to a recent Torrid consumer survey, more than one in three plus size women continue to face challenges while shopping, from inconsistent sizing and limited inventory to fewer trend-forward options and a lack of authentic representation.
While no single campaign can solve all of that, opportunities like the 2026 Torrid Casting Call continue to put real plus size women at the center of the conversation, and that’s something we’ll always celebrate.
Candice Huffine Returns as Casting Director
Model Candice Huffine is back as the official Casting Director, and for her, the real magic isn’t just in choosing the winners.
It’s in watching women show up for one another.
“What makes the Torrid Casting Call so meaningful is the sense of community it creates. When women come together and share their stories, something powerful happens. They are supported, inspired, flooded with joy and their confidence soars.”
Honestly, that’s the kind of energy we can always get behind.
Here’s What’s New for the 2026 Torrid Casting Call
Along with digital submissions, Torrid is bringing the experience into the real world with several opportunities for women to connect throughout the season.
The brand plans to kick things off with a denim activation in New York City’s Times Square before hosting Casting Call events in Texas, Tennessee, Washington and California. Select Torrid stores will also host Casting Parties, and previous Faces of Torrid will participate in virtual Q&A sessions to answer questions and encourage applicants throughout the process.
In other words, this is more than uploading a few photos and hoping for the best. It’s an opportunity to meet other women, celebrate your story and be part of a community that understands exactly what representation can mean.
What Do the Winners Receive?
Three winners will each receive:
- A $15,000 Torrid wardrobe
- $5,000 in cash

Public voting and finalist announcements will take place later this year.
