Queen Latifah Clothing Line

About Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah is an award-winning plus size celebrity who is proud of who she is and what she does. She knows she is full-figured and has even worked her size into many of her popular movie and television parts. She is known for her roles in:

• Hairspray (2007)
• Beauty Shop (2005)
• Taxi (2004)
• Bringing Down the House (2003)
• Living Single (1993-1998, television)
• House Party 2 (1991)
• Jungle Fever (1991)

One of the celebrity's goals is to help women feel sensual, vibrant and confident in their own skin. By showing off her own curves, she is letting plus size ladies know they can be beautiful even if they're not a size six. Her role as spokesperson helps women feel real by helping them celebrate their curves.

Her Work With Jenny Craig

Even though she continues to promote her plus size style, she also wanted to make sure she remained healthy. In January 2008, Queen Latifah signed on to be a spokesperson for the Jenny Craig Weight Loss Program, not specifically to lose weight, but to show full-figured gals that they, too, can make healthy choices. While she did lose some weight on the program, her goal was let women know that they can lead healthier lifestyles by making minor changes in their lives. This campaign did not focus as much on losing the pounds.

Most of the undergarments come in beige/nude, black or white and in sizes up to 2x for bottoms and shapewear and 44DDD for bras.
