45. Nyome Nicholas-Williams

Not only is Nyome Nicholas-Williams a beautiful, black, plus-size model – she made Instagram apologize and change the algorithm for censoring images of plus-size women of color. The platform repeatedly removed photographs of her topless (but adequately covered) while even more revealing images of thin, white women remained. It highlighted significant racial and size bias that needed to be rectified. Apart from changing policy, Nyome is giving black women visibility in fashion by working with brands like Adidas, Boots, Dr. Martens, and Dove while landing covers on magazines like Glamour. Her feed is full of selfies, campaign images, and event pics – she’s confident, sexy, and stylish. Finally, beyond the world of fashion, she also advocates for mental health, self-care, and body positivity.
