Plus-Size Reality Show Winner Lands Sexy Lingerie Campaign

We’ll be honest, we don’t tend to expect too much of America’s Next Top Model winners. We love a telegenic crew of dramaculous 20-somethings as much as the rest of America, and we always enjoy watching their crazy photoshoot challenges and hope the best for them after they win, but we’re always shocked to see them after their season wraps. After the second or third cycle, we started to feel a little awkward whenever Tyra Banks mentioned the name of the show. Calling it America’s Next Top Model just seemed disingenuous, given that no actual top models were actually created.

But now one of her winners has a legit campaign. Whitney Thompson, the first plus-size model to claim victory on a season of ANTM back in cycle 10, landed a sexy lingerie campaign for Panache Lingerie‘s line, Sculptress, which has band sizes from 36 to 46 and cup sizes that run from D to J.“I feel feminine and sexy when I wear the pieces, which is important for me and other curvy women,” Thompson said. “It’s about time we had a collection like this for the real woman.”Boo! -12 points for trotting out the tired “real women” argument. Kate Moss is just as much of a “real woman” as Thompson, they’re just women who have different body types. And all body types should be able to be clad in fancy lingerie if their owners so desire.

Thompson does look mega sexy in the campaign, though her hair is sporting such an odd dye job we wondered if Tyra showed up and forced her through another weird makeover. You could cut glass with those cheekbones or eyebrows, though, and her boobs look fantastic, which is a good advertisement for the bra she’s wearing.

“You can really tell that they understand the fit,” she said of the Sculptress line. “I don’t care how cute a bra is if it doesn’t fit me properly! Each piece in the collection is a comfortable fit with great support, and they’re beautiful.”
