During an interview for E!'s Live From the Red Carpet at Sunday night's Oscars, model Ashley Graham got very real about how hard it is for a curvy woman to find the right dress for the Oscars, or any fancy event for that matter.
"Trying to find a dress for the Oscars, a girl my size, [with] these girls this size — I mean, it has been a whole job in itself," Graham told host Giuliana Rancic.
By "a girl my size," she meant women who aren't a size 0 or two, and by "these girls these size," she meant her breasts, which were complemented quite well in her red, body-hugging Bao Tranchi dress.
Graham's appearance on the show came just days after her figure was criticized by former model Cheryl Tiegs, who took issue with Graham's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover. That cover, by the way, made history as Graham was the first plus-size model to grace it.
By being candid at the Oscars, Graham's voice joins the chorus of other women in Hollywood who have been vocal about the fashion challenge facing women above a size 0 or 2. Stars like Rebel Wilson and Melissa McCarthy have called out the designers and stylists who effectively ignore women of a certain size.
