With more inclusive runways and an increasingly size-diverse fashion industry comes the rise of plus-size models. While there's still work to be done, thankfully, plus-size is no longer a niche segment of the fashion world. Women with bodies beyond size 0 are being booked more and more, making modelling a lucrative career minus the toxic pressure to conform to a particular dress size. ICYMI, Australia is home to some of the most well-known and sought after plus-size models in the industry.

If you’re watching the 2025 season of Married At First Sight (MAFS) you’ve gone through a lot of disappointment.

I have also not received any avocado incentives under the table for this story.

Last night on MAFS, Dave Hand pulled a total 180 on his on-screen wife, Jamie Marinos – and it was a tough watch, right? For anyone who has been glued to Married At First Sight 2025, this has been the couple with arguably the strongest, bordering-on-boring-it’s-so-cute relationship. They’ve always had each other’s backs, they never seemed to argue, Jamie even told him she LOVED him last week. Now, they’re suddenly the most likely couple to sprint out the door at this week’s Commitment Ceremony.
