Curve model Paloma Elsesser has worked with everyone from Nike to Fenty and graced the pages of Vogue and Glamour. I’m convinced that every single outfit she puts on is perfect – not just in general but perfect for her curves. Whether she’s dressing up for a glamorous red carpet or putting together an off-duty look in her free time, every single one of her outfits just screams fun and spunky. Ahead, I’ve picked out 26 times I wanted to snatch the outfits right from Paloma’s hands, and you can be sure there are several slinky dresses and fabulous coats involved.
