History Main / BigBeautifulWoman

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': [[Characters/StevenUniverseRoseQuartz Rose Quartz]], Steven's very tall and chubby PosthumousCharacter mom, is depicted in flashbacks with an ethereal, goddess-like quality, described as beautiful several times, and most characters who knew her, even ones that were her enemies, have a lot of respect for her. [[spoiler:However, it turns out that it was actually a shapeshifted disguise; her true form as [[Characters/StevenUniversePinkDiamond Pink Diamond]], while still very tall, was more along the lines of the [[LeanAndMean thinner forms of her fellow Diamonds]]]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': Pam Poovey definitely qualifies, as even [[ChubbyChaser Archer himself will attest]]. The fact that she's larger than the other women in ISIS does nothing to prevent her from being a SexGoddess and ActionGirl.

* Music/{{Mika}} song "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)".

* Parodied on ''Series/MadTV'' with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh2j9KWSWuM this]] "Reality Check" sketch. Especially at the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh2j9KWSWuM#t=4m29s 4:29 mark]].

* Lizzie from ''Webcomic/ByMistakeOnPurpose'', a professor of quantum physics at the local university. Bashful botanist Rowan describes her as 'the woman of his dreams' and eventually establishes a relationship with her.

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' has Telma, the bar owner in Hyrule, who is considered attractive by quite a few characters and acts flirtatiously with Link and Renaldo. She also gives Link a brief MarshmallowHell moment.

* Sadie from ''Webcomic/PrincessPrincess'' [[InformedAttribute refers to herself as having big bones]]. Several people are attracted to her, and the comic portrays her as a cute, stereotypical princess, which includes beauty.

The Big Beautiful Woman is what happens when
MsFanservice puts on a couple more inches on her waistline.

* Big Bertha from the ''ComicBook/GreatLakesAvengers'' is a swimsuit model who can transform into a huge, obese woman with super strength. However, in the 2016 series, her new non-transformed body is rather Rubenesque and she works as a plus sized model.

The Big Beautiful Woman, or BBW for short, is an aversion of Hollywood's usual standards of size and beauty and is accompanied by BeautyTropes or AttractionTropes which draw attention to her assets with equal or greater {{Fanservice}} or MaleGaze than thinner women in the setting, and without being used as [[FanDisservice blatant irony]]. She's not used as a {{Foil}} or TokenMinority to make other characters look more attractive, like a PetHomosexual or BromanticFoil (a raunchy best friend that demonstrates how well-adjusted or advantaged the protagonist is). Even if not the protagonist herself, she may be part of the BetaCouple or a BreakoutCharacter. Her weight may not even be (and, in most cases of the trope probably won't be) the basis of her beauty or attractiveness;[[note]]Think about it: even HollywoodThin women are rarely fetishized for their lack of fat. Fanservice usually focuses on facial beauty, curvature, or leg shape, along with other feminine features.[[/note]] attention may instead be drawn to her beautiful eyes, feminine features or, more blatantly, her breasts or posterior--but regardless, she is a knock-out. Sometimes however in a story, the woman in question was originally beautiful yet was skinny or slim but due to certain circumstances that occurred leads her to gain weight and actually wear it surprisingly well thus becoming this trope, but usually it's a temporary change.

** But out of all the monster girls in the series, a kindly orc named Oku is the one that fits the most due to the fact that she is the only one genuinely chubby. Which she was unfortunately the reason why she was bullied for and seeks to slim down. But it's still quite evident her plump and rubenesque figure alongside her pretty looks is what makes her quite attractive and beautiful.

* One of NSFW [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry]] artist [=Sssonic2=]'s most popular and well-known recurring [=OCs=], Laverne, is a fat, [[BuxomBeautyStandard busty]], [[HartmanHips large-rumped]] [[NaughtyNuns Naughty Nun]] Doberman woman. Early art of her shows her as merely chubby, but she's been drawn with an increasingly plump figure, both by [=Sssonic2=] themselves and by fans, over time. Other artworks reveal that both some of the other nuns in Laverne's convent and some of Laverne's female relatives also qualify for this trope.

* ''VideoGame/TheHayseedKnight'' has Sep/Jasif, a [[FunnyAnimal gazelle]] who's generously described as "plump", with an especially large rear, who still manages to get as much love as weight insults thrown at her. It's justified in that she's spent years miserable as a high-class "dancer" and indulges far too much in the desert tray. While genuinely [[spoiler:and supernaturally]] compelling, her biggest admirers are one who wants her for political reasons and an easily-impressed farm boy who loves her just as much for her personality as her figure.

* Same with ''TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness'' with the Striking Looks merit and the Cumbersome flaw.

* Miwa from ''Manga/OkuSan'' was incredibly rotund and many would often remark on her beauty. She lost weight later on though, gaining a curvy but far thinner figure. [[spoiler: On the opposite end, Kyouko would gain a lot of weight and become the new resident BBW.]]

* Bertha of the early 2010s Confused.com ads is very chubby, and is frequently used for {{Fanservice}}, such as her several panty shots in the [[Nectar Fun Fair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZxUTFVOdK0]] ad, and pretty much every scene in the [[Duet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH5IyxLAV-c]] ad.
