The Big Beautiful Woman is what happens when Ms. Fanservice puts on a couple more inches on her waistline. The Big Beautiful Woman, or BBW for short, is an aversion of Hollywood's usual standards of size and beauty and is accompanied by Beauty Tropes or Attraction Tropes which draw attention to her assets with equal or greater Fanservice or Male Gaze than thinner women in the setting, and without being used as blatant irony. She's not used as a Foil or Token Minority to make other characters look more attractive, like a Pet Homosexual or Bromantic Foil (a raunchy best friend that demonstrates how well-adjusted or advantaged the protagonist is). Even if not the protagonist herself, she may be part of the Beta Couple or a Breakout Character. Her weight may not even be (and, in most cases of the trope probably won't be) the basis of her beauty or attractiveness;note Think about it: even Hollywood Thin women are rarely fetishized for their lack of fat. Fanservice usually focuses on facial beauty, curvature, or leg shape, along with other feminine features. attention may instead be drawn to her beautiful eyes, feminine features or, more blatantly, her breasts or posterior—but regardless, she is a knock-out. Sometimes however in a story, the woman in question was always beautiful yet was skinny or slim but due to certain circumstances, leads her to gain weight and actually wear it surprisingly well thus becoming this trope, but usually it’s a temporary change. When adding examples, avoid ladies who are Hollywood Pudgy. She must be visibly heavy-set for the trope to be in effect. May be part of the Tiny Guy, Huge Girl Pairing. Sometimes paired with Of Corsets Sexy, as a number of full-figured women esteem corsets highly as a way to produce a perfect hourglass figure. Some Stuffy Old Songs About the Buttocks (such as the page quote) are sung in praise of full-figured ladies. Contrast with Brawn Hilda and Amazonian Beauty. Not to be confused with Giant Woman, who is much bigger than a real human, but not necessarily fat. See also Temporary Bulk Change for authors who would like to use this trope, but prefer not to keep the change. See also Statuesque Stunner (more emphasis on height then weight), Big Beautiful Man (the Spear Counterpart) and Chubby Chaser (who may admire each or all of the above). Expect her to invoke Fat and Proud and/or Acrofatic (with a touch of Big Fun coming from her self-confidence) and flip the script on You Are Fat. noreallife Examples: |
