Feeling confident and sexy in lingerie can be a complicated process. No one sees that struggle up close (and personal) more than a boudoir photographer. While a skin-baring photoshoot might seem like something you do for a partner, that is not always the case. According to NYC-based boudoir photographer, Andrea B. Ballen, the purpose of an intimate, skin-baring shoot is often more personal. Her sessions are designed to help women “see and realize we are sensual beings, worthy of owning our sexuality without shame or fear.” Ballen has witnessed this struggle in all types of clients. Some want to celebrate their new single body after divorce, while others struggle with loving new post-partum curves, scars, or stretch marks. No matter what they’re warring with, though, when it comes down to it, Ballen loves helping people discover that they can celebrate themselves and their bodies at any phase in their life. Through her sessions, she watches people “let go of inhibition, let go of fear, self-consciousness, body image issues, anything that’s been holding them back,” she says. And (perhaps unsurprisingly), that often starts with the lingerie we wear.

Although anti-fat bias is still a prevalent problem in the fashion industry, there are companies helping to change things for the better — starting with the below brands that are currently putting out the best plus-size swimwear.

Marissa Smith was a lifelong Barbie fan. But nothing could quite match to the frenzy she felt when the first Barbie movie trailer dropped last year. “I started going through this rabbit hole of finding vintage bags and apparel that were Barbie-branded,” she admits. “That really started me on this path of ‘I need to dress up for these film screenings.’”

Hair and makeup artist Ivana Primorac had no idea what to expect when she accepted a job on the hotly anticipated Barbie movie. “I didn’t know what it was,” she told R29, “nor could I draw on any previous experience in my career.” Primorac designed the makeup for Netflix series The Crown, not to mention films such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. But Barbie, it seems, is in a league entirely of its own. Little did Primorac know then just how big a beauty spectacle it would be.
