This girl started being noticed doing sexy shoots, and having a “too curvy body for fashion”. But, here she is– doing what she does best– showcasing her “assets” on the November cover Vogue Italia. Steven Meisel, snapped the beauty who channels old Hollywood glamour with red pouty lips, voluminous hair and gorgeous jewels.

On embracing her curves:
“You go shopping and you’re not the same size in every brand—­some look good on you and others don’t. When I lived in Florida, the swimsuit was the key wardrobe piece, I lived ten minutes from the beach, but I never sat there and said, ‘I want to be every man’s fantasy.’ It wasn’t a big deal to be in a bathing suit. Now, whenever girls come up to me saying they’re happy to see I am confident about my body, it makes me feel good that I am contributing in a way among people my age, people who could be my friends.”
