“‘I am more than just a curvy girl,” she said.
“I used to diet all the time as a kid.
I started dieting in, like, kindergarten.
At the time, Ferreira received an intense amount ofonline backlash about her body.
She learned to ignore the haters and embrace her truest self as she moved forward in her career.
Ferreira made it clear that she doesn’t appreciate people telling her what to wear.
“I wanted to wear whatever …
I wanted to wear,” Ferreira said about her style.
It’s clothes, wear what you think is cute.
[They’re] not meant to make you look skinny.”
The campaign is designed to celebrate women’s natural bodies.
Ferreira was an active Tumblr user and had a massive following on the site.
It was called ‘Pale Grunge Blog,’ so that was very much the aesthetic.
I would take photos on Photo Booth and it was very grunge,“she said.
“I mean, it was cute and I loved it, but everything was a fashion faux-pas.
“But I don’t actually regret any looks, per se.
You know, I think I was a pretty fashionable teen.”
“It hit close to home,” she said.
“I think it’s cool because this is specific [to this generation].
Fan fiction gets millions of reads.”
In an interview withW magazinein March 2016, she said, “I don’t really like it.
I think they have that term because people like to put everything in little boxes.
Plus-size modeling, I think, is an unnecessary term.
At one point, I think it’s just going to be modeling.”
Now I’m kind of more like, ‘Let’s just shake this whole thing up.'”
Puckett’s band, Poema, is run by Puckett and their sister Shealeen Puckett.
One fun fact about the couple: They have matching tattoos.
In March 2022, Yahoo!
reported that the two spent their Valentine’s Day gifting each other matching tattoo designs.
This isn’t the first time Ferreira and Puckett dabbled in getting tattoos together.
According toVariety, Ferreira shared the news on Instagram.
“I put all my care and love into her and I hope you guys could feel it.
Love you Katherine Hernandez.”
However, Ferreira and her character are similar in more ways than one.
“I was deeply in love withHarry Styles.
That’s like, my husband.
But I was in the fandom.
I started modeling at roughly the same age that Kat has her little transformation.
It has so many parallels,” she said.
I was like, okay, ‘the cat’s out of the bag.
I’m fat,'” she said.
In an interview withAllure, Ferreira revealed what it was like to get her first tattoo from her partner.
She shared the special meaning behind the design and location.
I really felt like I couldn’t do anything [to my body] for so long.
I couldn’t even cut my hair one inch or I’d lose clients when I was a model.
So I guess it does represent something me taking over my own self."
