"A lot of people have said, 'You shouldn't wear things like that. It doesn't look good on your body type.' Or, 'You're too muscular for that,'" Vonn recalled. "I'm not going to say who, but I've had a lot of people say not such nice things to me."
Vonn has long been an advocate for body positivity and acceptance, and after getting a taste of the red carpet life in 2013 after she attended the Met Gala with then-boyfriend Tiger Woods, she spoke about her experience walking the carpet during a 2015 interview with Health. "At first it's kind of awkward standing there while people take pictures of you; now it's fun — although I definitely don't fit in on the red carpet. I'm, like, twice the size of anyone, in both height and weight! I'm five-foot-ten, but I'm definitely quite a bit heavier than everyone else," she said.
Vonn then emphasized an important message everyone can relate with, saying, "I feel like the odd man out sometimes, but that's even more reason to be confident, to show girls that you don't have to be a size 2 to be beautiful. Any size is beautiful as long as you're confident in yourself."
