Melissa McCarthy
Melissa McCarthy is one of the funniest women in Hollywood right now -- and also one of the most trailblazing. "McCarthy has taken the media's perception of what her figure represents, and turned it on its head by starting her own fashion line," Falsetto says of the actress' brand, Melissa McCarthy Seven7.

McCarthy told Vogue that she always loved fashion and wanted to pursue it, and that she often found herself disappointed with the clothing options available for plus-size women. With her line, McCarthy aims to bring fun, personal, high-end style to women of all sizes. "What her fashion line represents is a message of solidarity that Hollywood is always in need of," says Falsetto.

Ronda Rousey
Whether you recognize Ronda Rousey for her fierce roles in films like "Furious 7" and "Entourage" or as one of the best female mixed martial arts fighters in the world, there's no denying that this girl is a real-life superhero.

Rousey takes down every opponent that enters her ring, and that type of strength can be intimidating for some people -- she's endured her fair share of body shaming on the Internet for not having a traditionally feminine build. But Rousey's spirit is as tough as her technique.

"I grew up thinking that because my body type was [athletic], it was a bad thing," she told Cosmopolitan. "Now that I'm older, I've really begun to realize that my body has developed for a purpose and not just to be looked at."
