Gone are the days when the fashion industry and society dictated what fuller-figured women can and cannot wear.
Thick and curvy girls can’t wear shorts they said. Big can’t wear cropped tops, figure-hugging clothing, bikinis and bright colours – the list is endless.
But these local stars are tossing the fashion rules out the window and proving that they can look good in just about anything.
Have a look at some famous women who are defying the fashion standards.
