-->Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Although, if you take a look at most fashion magazines, adverts and movies, it wouldn't seem like it. There seem to be strict guidelines for what's considered "sexy", especially among women. But Hollywood and the fashion industry is starting to change their tune - at least a bit. Now we (occasionally) see plus-sized beauties gracing the covers of magazines - not often, but more frequently than ever before. Sure, there's still a long way to go before we see more variety in Hollywood, but hopefully we will get there sooner rather than later. Looking at these stunning plus size models, how can deny that all these women are all gorgeous? These 14 hot models prove that beauty and sex appeal comes in all sizes.
