Then & Now: Plus-size model Tara Lynn recently delighted her fans as she posted old and new lingerie shots on Instagram.
Above: Tara rocking red lingerie 8 years ago, when the beauty was just starting her modeling career.
Below: Tara these days, posing in lingerie for Addition Elle.
On the best part of being a plus-size model:
“I like to believe that my pictures are used as an inspiration for girls who struggle with a poor self-image. It encourages them. I get a lot of messages from girls who tell me that looking at my pictures, or from one of my colleagues, makes them feel better and more secure in their body. They are happy to see someone they can identify with.”
… says Tara in Spanish Magazine S Moda.
Ashley Graham, Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine, Marquita Pring and Inga Eiriksdottir appear in an unphotoshopped black and white spread in the current issue of Vogue US, where the beauties (that range from size 10 to size 16 US) wear nothing but sexy lingerie and minimal make-up.
Here are a few quotes from the models:
Ashley Graham:
“I have my own lingerie line for curvy women on Addition Elle. I’m also working on some great workout videos for YouTube . . . . Honey, I’m building the empire—it’s happening right now!”
Candice Huffine:
“You have an epiphany moment when you’re in the right bra. You’re like, ‘I can’t believe I left the house wearing all of these wrong ones before.’”
Marquita Pring:
“I probably had boobs at the age of eleven! I was young, and it was definitely the wrong type of bra—in fact I wore the wrong type of bra until I got into this industry and started learning about my body.”
How do you all like the spread?
Many more pictures on the next page!

On diversity in the industry:
I don’t know about bringing it to the industry, like the fashion industry. I mean it’s hard—and I’m just going to make this confession—it is hard to make clothes look great on big women. The more fat there is on a body, the more variation there is in the shape of that body. And so it makes perfect sense that people are using a standard, clothes-hanger skinny body for it. But in terms of the way we represent beauty: If we’re going to be selling perfume or makeup, I think it’s a great thing for [people] to see diversity in advertising and not have to feel like they need to fit a mold.
On the women who inspired her:
You know, this is such an old idea, but for me it was definitely Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez. Obviously, they still have pretty idyllic bodies, but it still represented something different that I was trying to wrap my head around. They were outside of the norm, received criticism early on, and just faced it with…fierceness [laughs].Right? And there’s also Christina Hendricks, Scarlett Johansson, and Salma Hayek. Men aren’t [only] naming the skin-and-bones girls [as hot]—not that there’s anything wrong with super skinny girls, they’re beautiful too—but it’s funny to sort of see that shift.
… says Tara in Elle.
Tara definitely seems slimmer in this Elle spread… compared to this spread back in June!
