The era of Kate Moss-esque models is over. With consumers looking at the story behind the face, the stage is now ready for women of all shapes, sizes and colours to become the new beauty role model

Neelakshi Singh, 27, is a plus-size model who posts under the Insta handle @Plumptopretty. In 2014, she started embracing her weight and began questioning standards of beauty and why someone her size couldn't feel beautiful
To the child of the 90s, beauty was defined by the Miss Indias — Aishwarya Rai's perfect face, Sushmita Sen's tall frame, Diya Mirza's peaches-and-cream complexion. The short, curvy and dusky couldn't hope to think they were beautiful. Cut to 2018, where a leggy Deepika Padukone with her impeccable make-up and styling, is the ideal many want to aspire to, but thanks to social media, there is also a more realistic 'beauty role model'. She is the Nodel (Not The Model), a word coined in 2016 by author Karley Sciortino, who wrote the beststelling Slutever about her multiple sexual experiences, when she (a healthy size 6) landed two Kate Spade New York's campaigns.
