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.
Boity Thulo
Boity is proud of her curvy body and is not afraid to show off her thick thighs in minidresses and shorts.
While many fuller-figured women shy away from showing their thighs, Boity shows off her legs just about every other day.
Thickleeyonce
Body positive activist Thickleeyonce does not follow the fashion rules. She wears whatever she wants regardless of what the fashion critics thinks.
Need a slim figure to wear a swimsuit? Hell, no!
