Is Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova fat? You decide!
Fashion critics have blasted model Karolina Kurkova for looking too fat in a bikini.
Seriously.
The Czech model wore a bikini in a recent Cia Maritima runway show and revealed what the horrified style snobs called "back fat, love handles and cellulite."

Karolina Kurkova, 24, is one of the highest-earning models in the world, according to Forbes, and is best known for being a Victoria's Secret Angel and whose super-fit physique has graced the pages of international fashion mags.
But after the show during Sao Paulo's Fashion Week, a Brazilian paper noted that the leggy 5-foot-11 Kurkova "shocked" the audience when she appeared looking uncharacteristically chubby with "cellulite on her butt."
Boy, these fashion critics are harsh!
That said, let's compare how Karolina looked in this year's show (click HERE) to how she looked modeling a bikini in the 2006 Cia Maritima show. Read on to see the old photos.
Then you decide if the critics are crazy. Or just reallyreallyreally picky.
To our eyes, it does appear that Karolina is a bit more toned and trim in these runway shots taken in 2006. But is she fat now? Not a chance. Curvy? Absolutely!
Still, don't feel too sorry for the poor maligned beauty. According to Forbes, the supermodel earns $5 million a year with this bod.
Call me crazy, but if your figure's earning those kind of figures, how hard is it to stay fighting fit? Isn't that your job?

I find it ridiculous the huffington post also reported this story. What is wrong with you people? You are supposed to be a NEWS source, not a fashion source!
She is beautiful.
I personally think she looks great. No one remembers when Tyra walked the runway at like 150lbs??? What are we teaching our daughters by saying that a thin girl is fat? This is just horrible.
she was really really out of shape!!!
this is what real women look like, and real women are buying the outfits so why not show what we will all really look like in the outfit that their selling.
It was not said that she IS fat. It was said that she is fat to be a bikini model. Two completely distinct things.
She is fat, not very fat but she has some kilos more than whast should have. For being a model she is veryyyyyyyy fat. All the other models were very thin, without all this fat jumping from outside the costume.
In the last event in Sao Paulo the Victoria's secret angel really showed cellulite in abundance for someone that really lives on the body. Yet, she wasn't so harshly critized as it's been said.
She's not fat , yet she should be more carefull about the texture of her body. Skinny people also suffer from that, yet if someone makes a living out of it, must be aware of critics if something is not up to some standards.
I'am brazilian. Lots of people think Karolina is fat? Who cares?!? Send her to my house right now!!!
She's not fat but she is definitely out of shap
