So many "inclusive" lines actually exclude a lot of people!
Emma Chamberlain’s First Clothing Line Only Offered Size Small, And 11 Other Times Celebs Were Called Out For Ignoring Size Inclusivity
These days, there are way more people in the spotlight who champion body persity than there were 20 years ago. However, in the fashion brands that celebrities create and promote, the same issues remain — a lack of size inclusivity means that a lot of people are excluded from representation in advertising and the ability to actually wear the clothes.
Jean-baptiste Lacroix / AFP via Getty ImagesOn an episode of The Kardashians, Khloé said, “The vagina needs a little more fabric…[to make it] a little wider.”
At the time, Kim made fun of Khloé “for having a bigger vagina than most,” but she later debuted a new design that took her sister’s criticism into account.

Additionally, the sizing for many products only went from XXS–4XL, and underwire bras ranged 32A–44D.
SKIMS / Via skims.com3. The sizing of the overall Skims collection also received major backlash following a viral TikTok in 2021.
Mega / GC Images / Via GettyIn her viral review, TikTok user @adriabarich tried on several pieces, but she was dissatisfied with the fit on all of them.

She said, “I thought Skims were supposed to make me look curvalicious…Not Winnie the Pooh wearing too small underwear.”
She told BuzzFeed, “I was just like, what the heck, this is a $34 piece of shapewear that I ordered because I trusted the Kardashian name…And even though I ordered a size that should have fit me, I looked horrible.”
Kevin Mazur / Getty Images for NordstromShe also said that the product images on the website are “very unrealistic, even though they are inclusive of different-sized people.”
She said, “They are very touched up, and that creates an unrealistic expectation for consumers who ultimately want to look like [Kim].”
In a follow-up video, she also called out the fact that there was little body persity in the brand’s promoted influencer partnerships, despite their tagline being “for every body.”

4. When Kylie Jenner released her Kylie Swim line, many fans who purchased her products criticized the little coverage and support the swimsuits provided.

5. Emma Chamberlain’s High Key clothing line faced a lot of backlash because the items were only available in a size small.

On Instagram Live, she addressed the additional criticism the line received about its high cost, telling fans that she created the designs but didn’t set the prices. However, she didn’t address the sizing controversy.

7. When Jameela Jamil — who founded the I Weigh community, which champions body inclusivity — guest-edited an issue of Style, many people expressed disappointment that hardly any of the clothes she modeled for the shoot came from size-inclusive brands.
Rich Polk / NBCU Photo Bank via Getty ImagesIn a statement, the actor said, “I understand your frustration, I hear it. And I can imagine that after waiting for so long to be remotely included you’re done waiting for anything other than perfection.”
Amanda Edwards / Getty ImagesShe continued, “Part of my job involves wearing high fashion, that’s how I manage to get into magazines to talk about the things I raise. So I’m gonna wear brands that fit me, that may not go all the way up to the size 32 that I wish all clothes went up to.”
Raymond Hall / GC Images / Via Getty8. Jameela Jamil also faced criticism when she modeled for an Aerie campaign. She claimed it was “inclusive of everyone,” but others pointed out that the brand lacked size inclusivity.

She continued, “Just sat down with some of the bosses at [Aerie] who assured me they are already working on becoming more and more inclusive in sizing. But please don’t lose sight of the fact that it’s also so cool to have blind, disabled, Black, Asian, gay, and sexual assault survivors repped too.”

In response, the model said, “Women here are sized from size 6 to size 12 but these aren’t models, these are our Henne employees and one women who has suffered from breast cancer and her sister who also has the BRCA gene mutation.” However, this led to even more criticism.
@nadiabartel / Via instagram.com10. Victoria Beckham told Grazia that her VB Body knit bodycon dresses look better “the curvier you are” and that it’s “an old-fashioned attitude, wanting to be really thin.”
Pascal Le Segretain / Getty ImagesHowever, despite her assertion that the dresses are “inclusive of body shape, of skin color, and of budget,” they only go up to a size 14.
VB Body / Via us.victoriabeckham.comWriting for Woman and Home, body acceptance advocate, Mollie Quirk said, “VB Body seems to follow in the footsteps of Kim’s Skims and Lizzo’s Yitty, but doesn’t Victoria’s new career U-turn seem counterproductive? Spending a lifetime promoting thinness and then suddenly advocating ‘curvy’ bodies when they become fashionable or should I say profitable… but then backtracking by making and selling clothing that ‘flatter’ bodies only up to a UK size 18 (US14), when her clothing only goes up to a UK 16 (US12). It really doesn’t seem all that inclusive to me.”
Craig Barritt / Getty Images for Bergdorf GoodmanShe continued, “Regardless of profit, I feel this development is a brave move for her, but there’s still a long way to go. By creating shapewear and clothing that rarely goes beyond a UK size 18, she’s still excluding a hell of a lot of people from her brand, and exclusion from fashion belongs back in the ’90s along with that old CD player.”
11. When Revolve was criticized for selling a sweatshirt bearing the words “being fat is not beautiful it’s an excuse,” Lena Dunham took credit for coming up with the statement.
David M. Benett / Dave Benett / Getty ImagesOn Instagram, she wrote, “Without consulting me or any of the women involved, [Revolve] presented the sweatshirts on thin white women, never thinking about the fact that difference and inpiduality is what gets you punished on the Internet, or that lack of persity in representation is a huge part of the problem (in fact, the problem itself). As a result, I cannot support this collaboration or lend my name to it in any way.”
Jon Kopaloff / Getty ImagesPeople criticized her for thinking the phrase was appropriate to put on a piece of clothing in the first place.
@lenadunham / Via instagram.comOthers called her out for her involvement and brought attention to the fact that the brand itself did not have an inclusive size range.

She told the New York Times, “Right now the only thing I’m doing is speaking about my own experience…So this clothing line is a direct response to my experience.”
Bruce Glikas / Bruce Glikas / WireImage / Via GettyThe line’s size range was criticized because it still wasn’t inclusive of people who are often excluded by other brands.

She also said that the actor’s “quick foray into plus size fashion” demonstrated “her continued privilege in the industry and now the plus-size fashion industry.”
