One of the biggest gripes that plus-size people have with the fashion industry is a lack of representation. Straight up shopping with some (especially when they’re new to you) brands can leave a curvy person absolutely guessing what an article of clothing will actually look like on their body type. That’s why we love these stylish trendsetters who are changing the plus-size fashion game (and our Instagram feeds!). Flip through to inspire your style this summer and beyond.

Lizzo Breaks All the Fashion Rules
High fashion can feel exclusionary for people of size, so it makes our hearts burst to see Lizzo slaying it on red carpets. She was a vision in pink at the 2019 Met Gala in a custom Marc Jacobs gown and feathered cape. What we love most is that Lizzo breaks all the rules that plus-size gals have nailed into their heads (“don’t wear things that make you look bigger" or "big girls shouldn't show that much skin"). Her confidence shines through whether she's having a flute moment on stage in just a sequined bodysuit or dressed to the nines with fashion's most elite.
