If you’re feeling frustrated about the lack of diversity among plus size influencers and models—especially when you constantly encounter the same size 1X, hourglass figures—you’re not alone. This is a community where your feelings are valid, and together, we can advocate for broader representation.
Why is it so hard to find fabulous individuals who are size 24 and above? The average American woman wears a size 16 to 18, yet the fashion industry continues to promote an unrealistic standard that highlights smooth stomachs, no back fat, and narrow calves. We deserve to see authentic bodies that mirror the reality of many women today.
While the plus size community is wonderfully diverse, a mere fraction of individuals get the spotlight in print advertisements, clothing campaigns, and influencer collaborations. The industry often favors a narrow definition of beauty, leaving many talented individuals struggling for visibility and recognition in a space that should be inclusive.
How many plus size influencers do you know who proudly represent sizes 24 and up?
And how many of these influencers are women of color?
As individuals navigating multiple identities, it’s essential to recognize that each identity carries its own privileges, including body size. The conversation around fatness is complex and cannot be oversimplified; it encompasses a variety of experiences and perspectives.
Within the fat community, there’s a common misconception that we all share the same struggles. While we may be united in our fight for acceptance, the reality is that individuals who wear sizes 1X through 20 often face different societal pressures than those who are 24, 26, or 32. Recognizing these nuances is crucial in understanding our collective experience.
As a community, we must create space for individuals of all sizes and backgrounds. It’s important to uplift influencers and models who are not conforming to traditional standards of beauty. This means embracing those who challenge the conventional narratives and celebrate their unique bodies.
At TCF, we take pride in highlighting individuals above size 24 who are boldly reclaiming their space, showcasing their beauty, and exuding confidence in every step they take.
If your list of body-positive influencers is limited to those under size 22 and only includes women with “proportioned” bodies, it’s time to reevaluate your sources of inspiration.
