These obese celebrity portraits give stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Katy Perry and Emma Watson a plus-sized makeover. The photographs transform the otherwise svelte stars into women who are a lot curvier. Spanish artist David Lopera is the creative genius behind these images and aims to change the way that the media portrays women of different body shapes.

Though many may consider his photoshopped depictions unhealthy, the artist states that many men have asked him to make their celebrity crushes more plump and curvaceous during his time as a magazine photo editor.

A fan of curvier women, the artist creates obese celebrity portraits that celebrate [diverse body types](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doves-super-bowl-ad). Overall, his portraits encourage women to [love themselves no matter their size](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/you-are-amazing).
