Feeling sexy is a year-long occasion we love to celebrate. But, shopping for new lingerie can feel like an altogether unsexy affair. Do I want something lacy or sheer? Red or black? Expensive or more budget? Now take those usual shopping pain points and add being plus into the mix. Your options, especially at those popular retailers, start to look slim.
It's no secret that many brands that standard-sized people rave about consistently exclude larger women from the conversation — leaving us big girls to often feel left out of many fashion spheres. Since large women deserve to feel just as sexy and confident while conquering the intimates space, we compiled a list of plus-size lingerie brands and retailers that are doing it right. We also went ahead and picked out a sultry piece from each that just might catch your eye.
Whether you're trying to feel yourself or find some spicy new selections for your selfie-boudoir shoot, we've got you covered!

Up-close photos of the rock — which includes one large emerald-cut center stone, accompanied by two side diamonds — were posted on Hilton’s personal website. The design was crafted by Jean Dousset, the great-great-grandson of Louis-François Cartier, the founder of jewelry brand Cartier. According to the site, Dousset was influenced by classical and Art Nouveau motifs, as well as the vaulted glass ceiling at Paris’ Grand Palais. While no further details were provided by the brand, Shannon Delany-Ron, the director of communications at jewelry retailer JamesAllen.com, estimates the ring to be a whopping 10 carats.
While not a 2021 engagement ring trend, the emerald has long been a popular cut of choice. Of late, the classic shape has been spotted on the ring fingers of celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Amal Clooney, and Jennifer Lawrence. Even more recently, in July, model Nicola Peltz added an emerald-cut engagement ring to her jewelry box, courtesy of fiancé Brooklyn Beckham. The Bachelorette’s Tayshia Adams also received an emerald-cut diamond ring — with a total of 95 diamonds on it! — from contestant Zac Clark in December.

Ten years ago, if you had asked us to put on a pair of pants that weren't skin-tight, we'd have rolled our eyes in disgust. For what seemed like forever, we gave skinny jeans and leggings our undivided attention. That is, until one day when a light appeared at the end of the tunnel and saved us from another year of wearing pants that were uncomfortably tight.
A decade and a handful of half-hearted pant trends later, we've finally found a silhouette with the potential to rival the skinny jean era in a real way. Baggy pants, or as some people like to call them, puddle pants, have been on the rise for quite some time now, but it wasn't until they started popping up on every street style photographer-covered corner in New York, London, Milan, and Paris last fall that the trend became crystal clear. A year later, they're back — and the options are better than ever.
From slouchy, distressed denim to loose, extra-long trousers — check out all of this fall's baggiest pant styles by clicking through the slideshow ahead.

बॉलीवुड एक्ट्रेस नोरा फतेही (Nora Fatehi) अपने डांस के अलावा अपने गुड लुक्स, फैशन सेंस और स्टाइलिंग को लेकर जानी जाती हैं। वह जब भी घर से बाहर निकलती हैं तो अपने कपड़ों से लेकर जूतों तक हर एक चीज का खास ख्याल रखती हैं। ऐसा ही कुछ हमें बीते दिन भी देखने को मिला, जब एक्ट्रेस जो बेहद हटकर अंदाज में स्पॉट किया गया।
अपनी हिट एंड फिट बॉडी को लेकर सुर्खियों में बनी रहने वाली बॉलीवुड एक्ट्रेस शिल्पा शेट्टी (Shilpa Shetty) उन हसीनाओं में से एक हैं, जो सिंपल से सिंपल अवतारों में भी काफी प्यारी लगती हैं। ऐसा ही कुछ हमें आज भी देखने को मिला, जब सिटी आउटिंग के दौरान एक्ट्रेस को बेहद अट्रैक्टिव लुक में स्पॉट किया गया।
आलिया भट्ट को ऐसे कपड़ों में स्पॉट किया गया, जिनमें वह कम ही नजर आती हैं। वैसे ये लुक था तो कूल, लेकिन उन्होंने जो शॉर्ट्स पहने थे, उसकी लेंथ स्टाइल में हॉटनेस का तड़का लगा रही थी। इतना ही नहीं ये तो मलाइका भी शॉर्ट्स से छोटे शॉर्ट्स लग रहे थे।
मौनी रॉय अपने स्टाइल और खूबसूरती से कई बार इस तरह से फैन्स को सरप्राइज कर देती हैं कि उनके पास कुछ कहने को ही नहीं रह जाता। इस बार भी इस अदाकारा का कुछ ऐसा ही स्पीचलेस कर देने वाला लुक नजर आया है।
