Jennifer Barreto-Leyva first made international headlines in 2015 when she challenged Romeo Santos to collaborate together. Her modeling career, however, has been making the rounds for over 10 years. The Venezuelan beauty—who’s also a TV host, lawyer, journalist, Editor of Belleza XL Magazine, and winner of Miss Universe Plus 2007—has in fact been coined as the first-ever Hispanic Plus-Size Model.

Rather than feeling insecure, Barreto-Leyva uses her curves to inspire women of all body shapes and sizes to embrace and be comfortable in their own skin. To further prove this point, the Latina model began dressing like some of the hottest celebrities in the biz. In her project, she channeled many beautiful women, including Victoria Beckham and Khloe Kardashian, to demonstrate that no matter your size, you can dress however you want.

“People’s feedback has been amazing,” she told PulsoPOP, stating that her only mission is to provide fashion tips to all of her followers. “Plus-size Latinas are an unattended target. There is pretty much zero coverage about us and I wanted to do something different for all of us. I feel very blessed and honored to receive all of this support from people. It feels great to help others through my knowledge,” she added.
