PLUS size manekenka i njezina prijateljica pokrenule su izazov Style Not Size, u kojem oblače istu odjeću kako bi pokazale da ljepota dolazi u svim oblicima i formama.
Denise Mercedes i Maria Castellanos pokrenule su izazov na TikToku gdje ih prati više od 1,7 milijuna ljudi, a njihove fotografije postale su viralne na društvenim mrežama.

Kad je Denise imala 16 godina, počela je slati svoje fotografije agencijama za modeliranje, no dobivala je odbijenice zbog svoje težine. Danas radi s velikim brojem modnih brendova i velika je zagovornica pokreta body positivity.

Inače, Ashley Graham 2016. godine postala je prvi plus size model na naslovnici Swimsuit izdanja Sports Illustrateda, što je otvorilo put i za brojne druge manekenke s oblinama. No Ashley kaže kako ne voli termin plus size jer svrstava žene u kategorije.
