The Best of 2021: Plus Size Edition
Nina Parker Makes History With The First Black-Owned, Plus-Size Clothing Line Displayed At Macy's
Nina Parker is the first Black woman to own a plus-size clothing line at Macy's. Parker was tired of the same mundane fashions that hid plus-size women, so she created her own line. Sizes ranging from 16W to 24W, she wants women to show off their vibrant flair through fashion.
Do you remember our beloved show "America's Next Top Model?" Well, our girl and former #ANTM contestant, Tocarra Jones, teamed up with six other judges for a new plus-size modeling competition. The series is presented by TSR and you can watch it exclusively on Facebook Watch.
Old Navy shocked us when they decided to bring ALL sizes to their stores. There would no longer be any separation of sizes, Old Navy would offer sizes from 0 to 30 in their apparel.
Who could forget when a sheer lavender dress broke the internet and exposed fatphobia? I DO! Lizzo rocked a beautiful dress for Cardi B's dancehall-themed birthday bash. For the plus community, we LIVED, but for haters, it was another opportunity to criticize. But Muva Lizzo wasn't bothered, and we are proud of her!
Tabria Majors did it again this year! Last year she delivered an iconic Halloween production in honor of #Beyonce. This year, she pays her respect to everyone's favorite prayer warrior, Ciara. She dropped a series of videos remaking Cici's music videos.
Model Precious Lee made runway history this year as Versace's first Black plus-size model. She would join models such as Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, and more. But baby, we couldn't keep our eyes off her! Call her the "it girl" because she is the model everyone needs to watch out for!
