The sister of Kim Kardashian's soon-to-be-ex-husband Kris Humphries is making a name for herself in the world of fashion, modelling the new spring/summer 2013 line for plus-size brand Evans.
Kaela Humphries, 29, who lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a former competitive swimmer who signed to New York modelling agency Ford+ after hanging up her goggles.
Kaela, who was a bridesmaid at Kim and NBA star Kris' wedding in August 2011, has spoken previously about how she had to give her diet a complete overhaul in order to lose the 40lbs she gained after quitting swimming.
The blue-eyed brunette beauty - who stands at 5'11'' tall, has a 38DD chest and wears an American size 16, equivalent to a UK size 20 - appears in a number of glamorous campaign shots for the retailer, wearing elegant, brightly coloured dresses, sparkly sleeveless tops and dark, slimming trousers.
Kaela relocated back to her hometown of Minnesota from New York in march last year, just as she was announced as was the face of Limited's Eloquii line in April. She quit a job in medical sales to pursue plus-size modelling.
At the time she told People magazine: 'You are sort of used to living and eating a certain way, and then you are like, "Oh my God, I can't eat ten meals a day and 10,000 calories anymore.
'I'm approaching 30 and it gets harder to lose weight the older you get.'
Kaela revealed that her weight fluctuated from a US size 10 to 12 in high school, and went as far as an 18 after college.
Kaela has said that she avoids eating carbohydrates after 8pm and works out twice a day for up to two hours, but still indulges in treats every now and again
She said: 'Looking healthy is important in anything you do. It should have been more of a priority earlier. But it's hard when you have a full-time job in the real world and it's not your job to be in shape.
She said she didn't know there was such a thing as plus-size modelling, until a photographer saw her picture and told her she has 'pretty eyes', so she decided to give it a go.
Shortly after, she booked shoots with both Nordstrom and Kohl's.
