That's right, you read it well; I'm back for a third installment of unlikely beauties! For those of you who don't know or have forgotten, I've written two posts in this book about models with unique features to showcase in order to prove that beauty is not only subjective, but comes in a wide range of skin tones, bodies, hair textures, etc. It's been a while since my last post, but I've decided to get back into it and hopefully you'll like this selection as much as I do!

Firstly discovered by Ricardo Tisci— the then senior designer of Givenchy— in 2010, this Brazilian model has impacted the fashion industry by becoming one of the rare transgender models reaching mainstream success. Despite the possibility of garnering controvery with the brands she's affiliated, Lea T has proved to be remarkable in every endeavor she does, which includes being the first openly transgender woman to be in an Olympic's opening ceremony and being featured in the BBC's 100 women of 2020. No wonder she was Tisci's muse!
