Plus Size Red Carpet Fashion

Just a few years ago the thought that a plus size woman would be walking the Red carpets in Hollywood and showing up on best dressed lists would have seemed impossible.  Finally the reality that women come in many sizes and can be beautiful and fashionable at any size has caught up with Hollywood.   This award season we saw Melissa McCarthy, Octavia Spencer, and Adele prove to the media and critics that plus size women can walk the red carpets and look sexy and fashionable while doing it. 

Here are a few of our recommendations to get your own plus size Red Carpet Look inspired by the plus size women from this years awards season.

The Dress

·         Fit is critical so if you have to buy it a size too big and get it tailored to fit you perfectly do it.

·         Stick to a single color dress the flatters your skin tone.

·         Pleating and ruched fabric at the waits to hips can help camouflage some of your trouble spots.
