Tabria Majors has built a career on rewriting the rules of beauty. The Nashville-born model, entrepreneur, and body positivity advocate has long used her platform to challenge what representation looks like in fashion and who gets to be celebrated within it.
Before major campaigns with top brands, Majors was navigating a world that rarely made room for women like her. She entered the industry in her mid-twenties, a time when most models are already seasoned veterans, and quickly became a face for inclusivity and authenticity. But Majors’ influence goes far beyond her portfolio. She uses her visibility to uplift women by encouraging self-acceptance and redefining what beauty and confidence look like at every stage of life.
Over the past decade, Majors has become one of the most recognizable voices in the conversation around body acceptance. She first gained viral attention after recreating Victoria’s Secret ads using plus-size models, which sent a shockwave through the industry. Since then, she’s continued to advocate for real representation both on and off the runway.
Tabria Majors’ Shift from Model to Advocate
Her collaboration with Torrid, a brand she calls “a consistent supporter through all the phases” of her life, has become one of the most enduring partnerships in her career.
“I worked with Torrid throughout my whole pregnancy,” she recalled. “They were the first clients I worked with again after having her, and I really appreciate that because they’ve always accepted me as I am.”
Motherhood has also added new depth to Majors’ understanding of her body and her purpose. She admits that postpartum life came with its own changes and challenges, but she resisted the pressure to “bounce back.”
“My weight has fluctuated so much throughout my entire life, and especially now,” she said. “I didn’t put that pressure on myself to snap back because I was so focused on her. That kind of pressure just feeds into negative thoughts.”
Instead of striving for perfection, Majors turned inward by prioritizing her health, happiness, and connection to her new role as a mother and redefining beauty for herself.
“Beauty is currency,” she said candidly. “Pretty privilege is real, and when you’re on social media looking at yourself all day, it’s tough to love yourself when the world tells you not to.”
Although industry standards, social media and the overconsumption of external validation may seem to cloud society’s views on what beauty is, Majors is finding her own way to stay balanced.
“Just finding my own inner happiness, being active with my family and friends, and building community. That’s become more important to me now than ever. At the end of the day, our looks are fleeting. Aging is a privilege, and I wish we viewed it that way instead of being afraid of it,” she stated.
Creating Space for Every Woman
Majors’ advocacy is perhaps most visible through her involvement with Torrid’s annual Casting Call. The event is a nationwide search that invites women of all shapes, sizes, and ages to step into the spotlight.
“This year’s campaign is especially important because there are going to be five winners representing different ages,” she said. “It’s really special to see that in an industry where you usually only see certain types represented.”
At a recent casting event, she found herself encouraging participants and even their mothers to take part.
“There were so many women saying, ‘I’m too old,’ or moms there just supporting their daughters,” she recalled. “I was like, ‘You should enter too!’ You never know, you could be a cool duo.”
It’s the moments like this where Majors’ mission to create room for women to take up space unapologetically shine through. She wants women to know that beauty is no longer about fitting a mold, and she’s been leading the charge to expand it to new heights
“I just want everybody to realize what they’re doing and how important the work is,” she said. “We’ve seen a decline in plus-size fashion, and I appreciate that brands like Torrid are making a real stance in this space during a time when we might not feel represented.”
Through her work, Majors continues to remind women that beauty is not conditional, self-worth is not negotiable, and empowerment begins with embracing yourself exactly as you are.
