The '''Big Beautiful Woman''', or BBW for short, is a subversion of Hollywood's usual standards of size and beauty. She isn't sexy ''despite'' her full figure, she's sexy ''because'' of it. She's comfortable with the fact that her weight is part of her just like her hair color. [[Weight Woe|Any angst or insecurity over her body]] was [[Defied Trope|resolved long ago]] (or over the course of the story, if this trope is the end result), and she's a confident woman who has a healthy dating life and knows how to find outfits that look fantastic on her. In an earlier time, she'd be called [[Rubenesque]]. Sloppier works might give her the same feel as a [[Pet Homosexual]]: a raunchy best friend who's always talking about sex but is never seen having it. Writers can avoid this by making her part of the [[Beta Couple]] or (believe it or not) making her the main heroine as an everywoman.
There's plenty of overlap with [[Sassy Black Woman]] (she'll at least have the attitude if not the skin tone) and [[Fag Hag]]. Also a source of [[Fetish Fuel]]. When adding examples, avoid ladies who are [[Hollywood Pudgy]]. She must be visibly heavy-set for the trope to be in effect. May be part of the [[Tiny Guy, Huge Girl]] Pairing. Sometimes paired with [[Of Corsets Sexy]], as
For authors who would like to use this trope, but prefer not to keep the change, a [[Temporary Bulk Change]] episode can be used to show off [[Fetish Fuel]].

* From ''[[Bizenghast]]'', there's [https://web.archive.org/web/20091231081852/http://sadwonderland.deviantart.com/art/Nareesha-25746201 Nareesha.] The author states that a cosplayer "cannot be too fat to be Nareesha".

* In one famous episode of the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime ("A Mean, Lean, Team Rocket Machine"), the Team Rocket trio gain a ton of weight after gorging themselves at a buffet. Despite the extra weight and her angst over how badly she's let herself go, Jessie's still as gorgeous as ever during her brief struggle with obesity.
* All the fanservice in the manga ''[[Plus-Sized Elf]]'' focuses on the soft, squishy figures of Elfuda and the other hot monster girls trying and failing to lose weight.

* In [[Marvel Comics]], it's subverted at first by the Great Lakes Avengers' Big Bertha, a skinny model whose superpowers are only available when she takes on her much heavier superhero form. She does, however, become a straight example of this in the 2016 run where she's rebranded herself as a plus-size model, and is drawn to be pleasingly plump when she isn't using her powers.
▲* Another Los Bros Hernandez example: [https://web.archive.org/web/20120804054219/http://lambiek.net/artists/h/hernandez_jaime/hernandez_jaime_whoa_nellie.jpg ''Whoa Nellie!'], about lady wrestlers.
* Volcana from the original ''Secret Wars'' mini-series: she's got a Ruebenesque figure compared to other villainesses, but is no less attractive for it. Just ask her lover Molecule Man.
* Tarot's mother
* In the Five Years Later continuity of ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (comics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'', Dream Girl became this, although this depended on her wardrobe.▼
▲* Tarot's mother, from ''[[Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose]]''. She's not really fat, just a ''wider'' version of her daughter, and with an increased bust size to match.
** This trope was somewhat averted with Bouncing Boy's one-time girlfriend Iresa from the Silver Age. Plump, sure, but she was rather plain. The joke, however, was that BB had dated her after he lost his powers and become svelte.▼

* Francine from ''[[Strangers in Paradise]]'' is often depicted as such.
* [[Superman|Lois Lane]] has dabbled in this territory at least [http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz843zLCc41r2ntbyo1_1280.jpg once], mostly due to [[Temporary Bulk Change]]. And during a [https://comic-watch.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/RCO015-1.jpg 2017 issue of Batman], she's shown to have a bit of a belly while wearing Catwoman's skintight jumpsuit. She's a tad self-conscious about it not fitting right, but it's still a flattering look in spite (or perhaps, ''because'') of her extra poundage.
* Minor ''[[Spider-Man]]'' character Sadie Frickett is a plump older woman who has not one, but ''two'' supervillains in love with her. Sandman and Hydro-Man famously waged war over winnning her affections, only to accidentally fuse and turn into the monstrous Mud-Thing.

** This is noted as the standard of attractiveness in Ramtops. Lancre men are much more interested in big women from families that clearly enjoy their food than they are in slim figures and corsetry.

* Mary {{spoiler|Callahan, later Callahan-Finn}} of the [[Callahan's Crosstime Saloon|Callahans Crosstime Saloon]] series, who's listed at two-fifty and gives Jake a raging hard-on when he first sees her. Zoey is later described as a nine-tenths scale model of Mary, which still puts her at 225. Jake even admits this is [[Chubby Chaser|his Fetish]].

* Misha in ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]''. She is rather plump but still attractive. {{spoiler|You can sleep with her but doing so opens Shizune's bad ending.}}
* Mei from ''[[Overwatch]]'' is definitely packing some extra weight, but all in the right places. Her adorably chubby cheeks have endeared her to many a fan, while her bust, butt, and slight potbelly won admirers for... ''[[Rule 34|different]]'' reasons.
* Marnie from ''[[Stardew Valley]]'' is overweight, but still objectively cute, and is considered beautiful enough in-universe to have two different men madly in love with her.
* Nick's boss Rhonda from ''[[Dead Rising 3]]'' has a plump gut, and enough curves to give most pin-up models a run for their money. When she runs into her ex-boyfriend Gary, they waste no time in screwing each other's brains out once they get some private time.

* Pam from ''[[Archer]]'', until season 5 where she lost a ''lot'' of weight. She gained it back in later seasons, but is still considered pretty hot (especially by Archer).
