Playboy’s first European plus-size cover model Hayley Hasselhoff, daughter of David Hasselhoff, wants women to know ‘you are worthy just as you are’
- The 28-year-old daughter of pop culture icon David Hasselhoff revealed the sultry cover visuals shot for Playboy’s German edition on Instagram
- She said she hopes others will be inspired ‘to face their fears of the unknown and to lead a life of purpose in which your body does not define you’.
Like her famous dad, Hayley Hasselhoff is huge in Germany.
The 28-year-old actress and model revealed the sultry cover visuals – shot by legendary fashion photographer Ellen Von Unwerth – on Instagram, writing how she is “overcome with emotion around what this cover signifies for inclusivity and its greater purpose toward female empowerment”.
The term “curve model” was recently adopted by the fashion industry as a more body-positive descriptive than “plus-size” and “full-figured”.
“I wanted to use this platform to express that you have the power to love your body without hesitation because of societies’ standards of beauty,” she wrote in the extensive caption.
Although Hasselhoff is the first curve model to cover a European edition of the legendary men’s magazine, Fluvia Lacerda became the first plus-size model to grab the cover spot of any Playboy magazine in 2016, for Playboy Brazil.
