Hayley chose a blue and pink bikini from their latest range and led a group of models with unconventional sizes – a refreshing contract for those who walked the Sports Illustrated catwalk the previous day.
She later changed into a sheer, see-through sundress, complete with a bold thigh-high cut and a plunging neckline that completely exposed her roomy cleavage.
The event gave less conventionally shaped models a chance to shine, with plus-sized models joined by those with disabilities.

She told MailOnline: ‘My father is very supportive in the choices I make for my own career. My mother and my father are always very supportive in everything I have done.
“You have to remember that I have been in this industry since I was 14 and have been a curve model since I was 14.
“We all have different journeys in the curve industry, but for me I started out as a curve model and I’m still a curve model today.

Hayley, who competed on Celebrity X Factor in 2019, recently revealed that she felt “empowered” by celebrating and showing off her body while playing topless for Playboy magazine – the first plus-size model to do so.
“To see the progress from where I’ve gone, to where I am now, I think they’re both very, very supportive and they believe in me and all the choices I make in my own career, just like I do for them.” .’
Hayley shot the glamorous photos in Paris during lockdown wearing her own lingerie after her team struggled to find clothes that fit her UK size 16-18 during the pandemic.
The curvaceous actress explained that it’s important to be the first plus-size woman to star on the front of Playboy Germany because it plays in a “bigger move” of embracing all different body shapes and sizes.

She said, “There are a few photos that are tastefully nude where I’m topless.
“In the beginning there were bits of me like, ‘oh Playboy…’ and then I thought and I thought ‘oh cool!’ I get to make this move for women on a curve during a global pandemic and let them know they have every right to celebrate their bodies.
“Looking at those images, I have to say that there were definitely moments on set where I was scared, because it was the first time I photographed something like this.
“It was one of those moments when you have a thought bubble and that fear — but then that positive thought came back and said, ‘Wait a minute, that’s the whole reason you’re here today.”
