10 “Gorgeous” Models That Prove There Are No Beauty Standards Anymore

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when hearing the words “fashion model”? A person owns perfect locks of hair, beautifully proportioned eyes, a shapely nose, a toned body, and blemish-free skin. But today, models are not only known for their conventional good looks, but for their innate strength and courage to break the cookie moulds of beauty that have earned them a place on the runway. Their bravery urges society to accept each other and themselves for their individual differences.
For example, in the 1960s, Lauren Hutton got much attention for the gap between her teeth which became iconic or Twiggy who was “too small and too thin, became the face of liberal fashion in the ‘60s. Let us give you more gorgeous models.
Below are 10 "gorgeous" models who have the guts to break the beauty norms. You can see more there: Pics That Show Runway Outfits Look on Models and 10 Most Famous Models In The World.
