While the modeling industry gradually embraces inclusivity, numerous fashion designers continue to favor a specific model archetype for showcasing their creations. These models typically exhibit tall and slender physiques, walking the runway with stoic facial expressions to ensure the audience’s focus remains on the outfits. In contrast, celebrities on the red carpet frequently showcase radiant smiles and may even request modifications to runway dresses.
