Can we all just admit that we spend more time than we like on social media? While we’re at it, let’s make it a point to consume more inspiring, body-positive content. We all know how important it is to have people who encourage you to embrace your authentic self even though Instagram can have you believing otherwise. It is important to see people who look like you on social media, someone you relate to. We’ve put together a list of models, bloggers, and activists who have encouraged important conversations about beauty and the fact that it really has no size.
These fabulous women are not only taking over runways and marketing campaigns but they’re working to destroy the existing norms of beauty in magazines, clothing ads, and beauty campaigns. Not only are their Instagram feeds a constant source of inspiration for all things fashion but these lovely ladies make it easier for us to love ourselves, one post at a time.
Aarti Olivia Dubey
We love Aarti for her stunning images as well as the way she addresses mental health issues in a very relatable way. Here’s you’ll find conversations around genders, skin, and belly rolls. You’ll scroll and learn something new while you’re on her page, promise.
Sakshi Sindwani
If there is one thing that Sakshi Sindwani does like a pro, it is to have fun with fashion. The creator has been a part of several magazine covers and regularly takes to Instagram to destroy society’s beauty standards. She’s also walked the runway for designers like Shivan & Narresh and is well-loved for her chirpy attitude and real talk about size.
Ankita Chaturvedi
Also known as Corallista, Ankita is known for her gentle demeanour and super calming videos. Seriously, you’ll exit her profile believing that you too can nail a smokey eye in minutes! Of late, the beauty influencer is owning her body and often talks about the struggles of being curvy. She talks about the lack of shopping options and silhouettes for women opens up about her own journey.
Nabela Noor
I stumbled upon Nabela’s account by chance and stayed for beauty tips and #PocketsOfPeace, a mini-vlog series where the influencer takes us through her day. There is something so raw and real about Nabela, you can’t help get invested in her journey! Whether it is her pregnancy or the fact that she seems like the older sister we never had, Nabela has taught us to tweak make-up techniques to suit our faces, one tutorial at a time. She encourages us to embrace our skin, texture, tones, and all and own our brownness.
Aashna Bhagwani
From calling out fatphobia to taking us behind the scenes of her seemingly glamourous life, Aashna often shows us that everything you see on social media isn’t real. Her idea is that it is important to be healthy, not perfect and we couldn’t agree more!
