This year has been good when it comes to plus size women being represented in media in entertainment. While there is always room for improvement, the following Divas made many curvy girls very proud.

Since bursting onto the scene as Mercedes Jones on Glee, Amber Riley has been a curvy favorite . It’s refreshing to see her belt out ballads on the hit television show and make heads turn as an up and coming fashionista on red carpets.
4) Queen Latifah

Each year Queen Latifah reinvents herself. Whether she’s rapping singing, acting, hosting or producing, everything the Queen does, she commits and does well. With a new movie out this January, I’m sure she won’t be stopping anytime soon.
3) Adele

Adele has one heck of a year. From receiving rave reviews for her sophomore album 21 to being featured on more magazine covers than any curvy star on our list, we can’t get enough of Adele.
2) Jill Scott

New figure….check, great album……check. Our girl Jill had an amazing year. After releasing her recent album “Light of the Sun”, she went on to break records, receive award nominations and perform on VH1’s Divas Celebrate Soul earlier this month. With concerts scheduled across the country in the new year, Jill is on her way to having an equally as great 2012.

After appearing in the hit movie “Bridesmaids”, winning an Emmy for her role in “Mike & Molly” on CBS and hosting Saturday Night Live, Melissa McCarthy deserves all of the accolades that she is now receiving. This actress has paid her dues for quite some time but 2011 proved to be her year. With the new movie “This Is 40“ in post-production status, Melissa will be in the spotlight for awhile.
