Karolina Kurkova attacked for being 'too fat' at Sao Paulo Fashion Week

It's enough to make your skin boil, but nevertheless poor Karolina Kurkova has come under attack by the Brazillian press for being 'too fat' for the catwalk. The Victoria's Secret model was harshly criticised for showing "back fat, love handles and cellulite" after she appeared in a bikini at Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

An article in a Brazilian newspaper described how "shocked" the audience was when she appeared on the catwalk at the Cia Maritima show, looking uncharacteristically chubby with "cellulite on her butt."

*Gasp* Not cellulite!

How dare anyone contemplate strutting about in a bikini if they posses even one crinkle of the stuff. I won't repeat my views on these moronic claims, as I'm sure I'd bore you to tears. Although I am less worried about Kurkova's so-called 'rolls' and more turned off by that horrible orangey fake tan that she is sporting.

I am definitely fatter than her... But with that being said

she is paid to model that suit and she is not doing it well. She does need to tone up if I was the designed I would be mad that she is not doing her job well. I wouldnt ever judge her at the beach but it a fashion show where she gets paid tons of money she needs to keep her body toned and she has put on a lot of wieght since the last time I saw her model maybe it is time for her to retire either that or hit the gym.

A few centuries ago, it was considered beautiful to have extra weight.

Marilyn Monroe was a size 14. I'm sure that if she was apart of this generation she would get a lot of grief for her size.

Nobody really fits into the "perfect body" that the media has created by airbrushing and photoshopping all the women's pictures. Trim her thigh here and her waist there and so on. Real people do not look like that, and trying to look like that is a folly pursuit that can lead to one's peril.

True beauty comes from within. See how she's smiling?

Marilyn was a size 14 with approx a 23" waist! She would still be considered beautiful no doubt but regular women do not have gargantuan asses with the waist of a 13 year old. Victoria's secret models are the epitome of perfection and in order to achieve the slender waist, no back fat, no cellulite look you must be a stick. If u are still capable of having a butt at 99lbs then you have some WOW 1 in a billion genetics...

She is a Victoria secret model, she is obviously modelling bikini's and not John Galliano's new collection, there are different standards.

She is on the catwalk which means the designer chose her to walk and they are not afraid to replace models if they dont like the look of them backstage.

Clothes are meant to be worn by people, if you've been in Victoria Secret catalogue be sure to leave a comment on how fat she is, if not shhhhh cause you're obviously not as hot as her.

I agree with Melissa; this isn't about whether or not she's fat by real-world standards (which she isn't), but whether she's got too much fat by supermodel standards (which she does). Point: if you want to earn the big money by putting yourself in the public eye in a skimpy bikini, then you'd better expect (and be able to deal with) criticism when you let yourself get even a little bit out of shape.
