When you’re a lead actor on SNL and are appearing on Late Night With Seth Meyers, you need a special outfit. Something that celebrates your star power and shows off your style POV. But when there weren’t many (or any) solid options for Aidy Bryant, a New York designer stepped in and the results were next-level inspiring.
As a woman who wears a size 16, Bryant tells Glamour—who helped facilitate the collaboration between herself and Tanya Taylor—“There’s no conversation happening between plus-size women and designers. The door is never open.” That changed when Taylor went about creating her first plus-size piece and crafted an embellished blue dress with a skater skirt and belled sleeve, made especially for the Bryant's Late Night appearance.
While the actress looked amazing, she also tells the publication that representation of body diversity is not a one-shot deal. In fact, she explained how she's gone out of her way to make sure she's always wearing things she feels good in, sending the message that fashion is something women of all sizes can enjoy. "It’s worth the extra effort for the girls who are looking at my clothes on Instagram or tweeting me to ask what I wore in a sketch."
As for whether Taylor's extended sizes will soon be available to all? The short answer is maybe: "We would absolutely be willing to broaden our size range, but our retailers only buy up to size 12 from us." Here's hoping that changes, and soon.
