Had to look her up.  I have no idea who she is.

 

"McGrady was born in Los Angeles, to American actor Michael McGrady and model Brynja McGrady. She has a sister named Micha"

 

"McGrady started her career as a straight sized model at age 15. At 19, she decided to start plus size modeling because she could not maintain the 00 standard set by her agency.[4] In 2017, she became the largest model (size 16) to appear in a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. In 2019, she was the first plus-size model on a cover of The Knot."

 

So is this just more Kim Gravel fashion?  QVC may be saturating their own market.

all I can say is Amy had a lot of ccourage to show up  in that awful outfit.  What is Q thinking now, their styles are ridiculous.  They are scaring away the good designers.

I'm SO glad you said that.  I also thought that Amy looked really bad in that outfit.  You could tell she was very uncomfortable during that presentation.  I also agree with you about good designers being scared away.  

 

I also SO glad we have not be subjected to a PAINFUL Peace Love World presentation in a long time.  Talk about really BAD "fast fashion" ! ! !  And just straight up pretentiousness ! ! !

I've seen her on before and usually in legging type pants.  She is a beautiful woman but the fashion she's wearing and selling looks distasteful on her Smiley Sad  JMO

I haven't checked out Ms Hunter's line yet but......I think QVC has given up on good fashion and styles.  Now it's grab vendors to keep their 24/7 programming clock ticking.  From baggy T-shirts to pants pants and more pants.

I watched the presentation while I ate  my breakfast.  I almost purchased the faux leather pants until I realized they were expensive (my opinion) and they really did not look good on her.  I am bulky and trying to lose weight but buying them at my present size I felt I would not look any better than she did.  Please, I am not puting her down.  I am there with her but I do think other styles would be a better choice. Glad "unslim" styles are being offered for heavier woman but it would seem the goal would be to make us look better.... 

 

I am going to lose the weight, yes, I am and I will return to the AS IS category and buy them hopefully in a smaller size.... LOL

I'm average size, but I look terrible squeezed into anything that fits like a second skin. I can't imagine how this trend became so popular, outside of the gym. Few can really pull it off, regardless of size.  

 

I understand that women of all sizes want to be part of the trends, and they should have sizes available to do so, if they desire.  However, this is rarely a good look for anyone with curves.

 

I like to see curvy ladies dressed to emphasize their beauty, not detract from it. Hunter is beautiful woman, but her outfit distracted from all the positives.

I watched about 10 minutes of the show last night and thought how awful those leggings looked. What's with the disco era shiny material? I think she is a beautiful lady, but the TSV did nothing for her nor any of the plus size models that were showing it. 

 

We must be in the minority, because in the few minutes that I watched, the leggings seemed to be selling just fine.

I'm lost as to what Hunter McGrady has to do with Kim Gravel?

 

By nature leggings are fitted and look like they are fitted.  Leggings look silly if they are loose and baggy.  If you don't like clothes to be super fitted, leggings aren't the choice for you.

 

I only saw a re-air this morning of some of last night's show.  I didn't really see Amy's entire outfit but I was honestly shocked when I saw her.  Her make-up was fully done but it looked like she got caught in the rain or she didn't bother to do her hair.

 

I'm not a huge legging fan for myself because I'm pear shape.  I'm also not a fan of leggings as pants.  I personally think leggings need to be worn with a top that comes past the hips and butt.  I think leggings look ridiculous with a short top, regardless of one's size.

I really prefer Spanx black leggings for my more dressy leggings......I think these look a little cheap.
