Danielle Brooks is the Curvy Style Maven of the Year

Danielle Brooks is undoubtedly the curvy style maven of the year. In addition to never missing an opportunity to uplift and speak out for curvy women who are often ignored in the mainstream fashion industry, she was a walking example of the fact that "plus size" is  indeed just as fabulous as any other body type. With her actions and her personal style, Danielle reminded us that all women deserve to be recognized and celebrated — and that true style includes all shapes and sizes. Check out her most fabulous looks here!
