Latina Model Denise Bidot Shows Off Natural Curves In Unretouched Swimsuit Campaign [Watch]
Model Denise Bidot has caught the Internet's attention by showing off her body in the most positive way possible.
The Miami-born model is promoting body positivity in a promotional video released by Swimsuits For All, a swimwear brand, that is un-retouched and shows Bidot wearing several looks from their latest collection.
The 29-year-old -- who is of Puerto Rican and Kuwaiti decent -- can be seen showing of her curves, cellulite and stretch marks as she explains how she has reached body confidence over the years and promotes the brands mantra "Beach Body. Not Sorry."
"I love everything about my body," Bidot stated. "I've really learned just to love every bit of it. The cellulite, the stretch marks. Everything that I, at one point when I was younger, thought was an imperfection, I now realize is everything that makes me, me."
Bidot's resume includes modeling for several brands like Forever 21, Levi's, Target, and a few runway shows during Fashion Week. She stated in the past that she was told she had to lose 10 to 15 pounds to be able to model for Forever 21.
The brand released several images on their Instagram account of Bidot in various looks to promote the campaign and in a statement, according to the New York Daily News, CEO and President, Moshe Laniado said, "We want women to let go of their anxieties and step out unapologetically this summer."
"It's time to stop apologizing. I want women to feel confident and sexy by knowing that there's nothing wrong with being yourself," Bidot said in a statement, reported The Huffington Post.
Fans and media outlets are not only praising Bidot for empowering women to show off their natural bodies but also for empowering curvy Latinas and Latina's in fashion in a general sense. One famous Latina showing her support for Bidot is Colombian actress Sofia Vergara, who is known for her curvy figure. Vergara took to her Facebook account to praise Bidot and the campaign.
