'My Big Fat Fabulous Life': How Whitney Thore found her signature fashion look

Thore, star of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life', has come a long way since viewers first saw her on her successful TLC reality show in 2015. Whitney had gone viral for her dance video 'A Fat Girl Dancing' at the time, and this scored her the chance of a lifetime — a reality TV debut! She was honest on the show about her huge weight gain. Whitney gained more than 200 pounds in her first year of college and was subsequently diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. According to the PCOS Awareness Association, the symptoms may vary but around half will suffer weight gain that is difficult to decrease.

The North Carolina native was always a dancer but stopped because she was embarrassed by her weight increase. She decided one day that she would not let her body image prevent her from doing what she enjoys, and she became a champion for her body-positive 'No Body Shame' campaign.

Whitney's Instagram postings have been increasingly popular over the years. She didn't appear to know what her dress style was in her younger years. Over the years, she has been able to express how her style has developed as she has grown more comfortable in her skin. Whitney's fashion taste has started to create headlines, whether it's her viral sweat trousers or charming vacation clothing.

Whitney's 'Hollywood glamor' outfit

Whitney's crimson Hollywood glam outfit was by far the most helpful in embracing her inner fashion model. Whitney's dark hair and eyes were highlighted by the color choice. The sweater suited her well and hugged her in all the right places. The 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' star appeared red carpet ready and bagged the best-dressed award with no competition, thanks to her additional crimson lip.

Whitney began to wear more hairpieces halfway through her fashion development, which worked to her advantage. The 'MBFFL' star also tried out more dramatic eye makeup, which complemented her natural beauty. Fans adore the below look, since it was one of the first occasions Whitney appeared to enjoy experimenting with fashion and cosmetics.

Whitney donned the finest Carole Baskin-look she could muster back in April. The fashion police were not delighted with Whitney's multiple layers of animal print, and many would claim that this was the beginning of her makeover. Whitney was also still keeping her hair short and up. Needless to say, Whitney's fans hoped she would improve her appearance in the future.

On August 9 at 10 pm ET/PT on TLC, the new season of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' is scheduled to premiere.
