The “Fits Everybody” campaign includes Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Candice Swanepoel, and Alessandra Ambrosio.

Kim Kardashian unveiled the new campaign for the SKIMS “Fits Everybody” line, featuring four former Victoria’s Secret models.

For context, the line features bras, underwear, and loungewear and costs $14 for a thong and $60 for an underwear pack.

The campaign features Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Candice Swanepoel, and Alessandra Ambrosio. Though the models’ tenure at Victoria’s Secret varies — with Alessandra and Candice’s contracts only ending within the last five years — all were previously angels in the now-canceled Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Over on the Victoria’s Secret side, the brand ditched the angels in favor of the “VS Collective” last year. Its founding members include models like Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid, alongside athletes and activists.

While the pivot was met with skepticism, Tyra herself applauded the decision, writing on Instagram, “I was the first Black @VictoriasSecret contract model ever. The first Black Victoria’s Secret Cover model…To the new collective of badass ROLE models, I may have cracked that door open, but y’all are charging through.”

The SKIMS shoot marked a return to underwear modeling for Tyra, who wrote on Instagram, “When Kim called me with the idea to reunite these incredible women and me for SKIMS, I was intrigued. And here we are! I hadn’t modeled lingerie and undergarments since I retired from the runway, but it was like riding a bike.”

Kim herself originally wasn’t supposed to appear in any of the promotional pictures, but she wrote on Instagram that she “stopped by and jumped in because it was too iconic.”

The decision to use four supermodels for the “Fits Everybody” campaign sparked some discussion online and in the comments, as the images themselves showed little body diversity.

As for the sizing of the “Fits Everybody” products themselves, many do go from XXS–4XL. However, bras with underwires go from a 32A–44D.

XXS–4XL is 00–26 in terms of dress sizes.
