Velvet d'Amour (born May 27, 1967) is an American plus-size model and fashion photographer, best known via the worldwide media coverage she received after her appearance in Jean-Paul Gaultier's 2007 Spring/Summer prêt-à-porter collection shown in Paris in October 2006.

Standing at five-foot-eight and weighing three hundred pounds, she made a catwalk appearance in John Galliano's prêt-à-porter showing entitled "Everybody is Beautiful" in 2006, and in the associated French Vogue article featuring photography by Nick Knight.

The odd dichotomy is that whilst people like myself are banned due to the purported notion we will somehow 'promote' being unhealthy, we are besieged with media saturated with imagery of Britney Spears, Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton, Kate Moss and Lindsay Lohan.

[citation needed] D'Amourg featured in the title role of Avida, the 2006 French film directed by Benoît Delépine and Gustave Kervern, and produced by Mathieu Kassovitz, which was selected for the 2006 Cannes and 2007 Tribeca film festivals amongst others and has been purchased by Cinema Epoch for US distribution.

In 2010, she participated in the French TV show : "La Ferme Célébrités en Afrique" She has also launched a magazine called Vol-Up-2 that features her photography as well as other photographers and artists.
