TV presenter Tyra Banks is launching a new competition and wants plus-sized teenagers to take part.
Banks, 36, said on a recent episode of The Tyra Show that she wants girls aged between 13 and 19 to take part.
The star also said to UsMagazine.com that she wants the teenagers to have a dress size of 12 to 20 and also be between 5′9 and 6′1 in height.
She said: “I want young girls to realize that what’s considered plus-sized is the average American woman.
“That woman is healthy, fit and beautiful. Adolescence is such an impressionable time in a young woman’s life, and I hope this contest helps teen girls discover their own beauty from the inside out.”
