The world of fashion and beauty has been known for promoting unrealistic beauty standards and for excluding people who do not fit into a specific mold. But things are changing, and the body-positivity movement is gaining momentum. Now, one woman is breaking barriers and inspiring millions with her message of self-love and acceptance.
Meet Hayley Amber Hasselhoff, the daughter of actor and singer David Hasselhoff. Hayley, who identifies as she/her, is an actress, activist, fashion host, wellness editor, and podcaster. But now, she’s also made history as the first-ever plus-sized model to grace the pages of Playboy Germany.
Hayley’s appearance in Playboy is significant because it represents a step forward for body positivity and inclusivity. By allowing a plus-sized model to pose nude for the magazine, Playboy is helping to break down barriers and promote a more diverse and inclusive standard of beauty.
Hayley has always been confident in her body and has dreamed of becoming a Playboy model since she was in high school. Despite the challenges of breaking into the modeling industry as a plus-sized woman, she never gave up on her dream. And with the support of her family, especially her famous dad, she achieved it.
“My dad is very supportive of the choices I make for my own career. My mum and my dad are always very supportive in everything that I have done. You have to remember I’ve been in this industry since I was 14, and I’ve been a curve model since I was 14,” Hayley said.
Hayley’s message is clear: everyone is worthy of love, respect, and acceptance, regardless of their size or shape. In an Instagram post announcing her appearance on the cover of Playboy Germany, she wrote: “I am deeply humbled and honored to be the first-ever curve model on a European cover of PLAYBOY @playboygermany. I am overcome with emotion around what this cover signifies for inclusivity and its greater purpose towards female empowerment.”
Hayley hopes that her appearance in Playboy will serve as a role model for millions of plus-sized women and girls who look like her. She wants to inspire them to love themselves without hesitation, regardless of society’s beauty standards.
“If there is one thing I would tell my younger self, it would be that you are worthy just as you are. Now, more than ever, we should be grounded in the exploration of self and feel encouraged to celebrate ourselves in ways that feel most authentic. I can only hope this cover will allow women to know that they are loved, valued, and desired just as they are – right here, right now,” Hayley added.
Hayley’s message is important because it challenges the idea that only certain bodies are beautiful or worthy of admiration. She is helping to break down the barriers that have made many women feel inadequate and ashamed of their bodies. By celebrating her curves and promoting self-love, she is inspiring women everywhere to do the same.
