Size-22 Supermodel: Fashion Star Tess Holliday Lands First Magazine Cover, Talks How She Overcame Bullies (PHOTOS)

Tess Holliday is People Magazine's new cover girl for its 2015 body issue!

The 29-year-old was also the first size-22 model to sign with a major modeling agency. Back in January, she joined MiLK Model Management. The plus-sized beauty also recently shot a campaign with Benefit Cosmetics, and has appeared in Vogue Italy.

Holliday, who is known for posting sexy photos on her Instagram account in order to promote self-love, has been very busy due to her success.

Not only is she the face of Torrid's spring campaign, but she is also responsible for creating the widely used #effyourbeautystandards hashtag.

The goal of the hashtag is to empower women to wear whatever they want -- regardless of their shape, according to the Huffington Post.
