She&#39;s a stunning beauty and everything you\u2019d expect of a <a href=\"https:\/\/cafemom.com\/entertainment\/natalia-bryant-runway-debut\">runway model<\/a>. Bidot started acting at the age of 12, and by the time she was 18, she had made her way to California to further her career. But Bidot faced challenges because she was not waif thin, and she was encouraged to lose weight. Rather than succumb to those suggestions, she decided to pivot and work behind the scenes as a makeup artist.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, a photographer noticed her and acknowledged that there is no one standard of beauty and helped Bidot launch her modeling career. Soon, she became the first plus-sized model to walk the runway for straight-sized brands during New York Fashion Week.<\/p>\n<p>Bidot is a huge advocate of <a href=\"https:\/\/cafemom.com\/parenting\/moms-choosing-yourself\">self-care<\/a>.
