Inside wild lifetime of plus measurement mannequin Gracie Bon – 55inch bum to transformation

Model and influencer Gracie Bon lives a wild life in Panama City thanks to her 55-inch backside which launched her to fame.

From starting a petition to make airplane seats larger, to becoming the face of one of the most influential fashion brands in the world, Gracie is no stranger to online trolls. The model recently shed some weight, which subjected her to abuse.

She continues to post her daily life and routine. Recently, she shared an Instagram video riding a horse to the backdrop of a sandy beach and showed off her voluptuous backside. “Ready for adventures,” she teased in the caption, hinting that the model could be reaching new heights

Fans have been asking what’s next for the glamorous model. The 27-year-old appears to be reaching new heights and breaking down barriers in the modelling world.

Who is Gracie Bon?

The star has kept her private life mostly out of the public eye, but it is known she was born February 4 1997, in Panama. She currently resides in Panama City and frequently updates her 7.2million fans on Instagram.

Gracie, who weighs 300 pounds, started an OnlyFans, where her followers can pay $9.99 (£7.59) a month to access her racey content. She now poses in bikinis for her social media sites.

She first rose to fame for sharing her big backside and slim waist online. She quickly grew her following and even gained a contract with Fashion Nova.

The clothing website promotes body diversity. Gracie can often be seen wearing their clothes, despite the company coming under fire for supposedly banning negative reviews on their website in 2022. They were subsequently fined $4.2million (£3.1million) the Federal Trade Commission.

Airplane Debate

Gracie spiked in popularity in February after she shared a TikTok video of her sitting over two airplane seats. The social media star again showed off her buttocks and asked airplane companies to make bigger seats.

The point of her video was to emphasise people with obesity or in her case – big behinds – deserve more space. “So today I had a flight and even if I was flying in first class, I couldn’t fit on the airplane,” she said in the video.

“So this is a petition for all the airlines so big girls like me can fly. It’s not my fault I have an a*se this big.”

Weight loss surgery?

Gracie was always a big advocate for plus size modelling, but the influencer came under fire for her figure, which some believed was achieved through surgery. She denied, but had lost noticeably lost weight.

In August, she gained 200,000 followers after the procedures, but emphasised to her fans that her big behind is difficult to dress.

She claimed her figure is “what God gave her,” but said she can’t fit in any clothes via an Instagram post. “The problem with us chubby girls… Only the BIG ones will understand,” she captioned her post.

Most recently, after sharing a video riding a horse, fans said she should stop romanticising obesity. She clapped back by sharing a video dressed in just a pink bikini.

She told her camera: “I’m not the only one when I say that I love chubby girls, I love feeling chubby. I love love-handles I love big legs I feel super comfortable.”
