For some time now, the world has seen a global movement of inclusion and diversity in all spaces, including the fashion world. A lot has changed on the catwalks in relation to casting. In recent seasons, we've seen a plurality of bodies, styles, genders, and races, allowing names previously invisible in fashion to emerge.

Precious Lee has been a highlight of recent runway seasons. After her breakout appearance on the Versace Spring/Summer 2021 runway alongside major models like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, Lee has become one of the biggest names on the international catwalks. In a step towards making fashion more democratic and increasingly representative, brands such as Michael Kors, Prabal Gurung, Moschino, and Christian Siriano utilized her talent during New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2022. Lee is also one of the confirmed names for Rihanna's Savage X Fenty show which will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on September 24.

At 31 years old and with nearly a decade of fashion shows and campaigns under her belt, the model carries triumphs such as being the first Black plus-size model on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. She has also appeared on Times Square billboards and buses for Lane Bryant's #PlusIsEqual campaign to celebrate the equality of bodies.

Daughter of a hairdresser father and a teacher mother, the model is a style icon known for mixing sensuality with glamour. She can rock furry coats and feathers accompanied by sensual lingerie and a bodycon silhouette or veer towards a more sporty vibe like sneakers with 3/4 socks, ribbed crop tops with sweatshirt joggers, and lots of statement accessories like gold maxi-chains and different glasses. Whatever she's wearing, she's always killing it.
