Myla Grace Dalbesio (born June 26, 1987) is an American model, artist, and writer. On Sept. 20, 2003, 16-year-old Myla Grace Dalbesio of Racine, Wisconsin was crowned Miss Wisconsin Teen USA 2004 in Lake Delton, Wisconsin during her first attempt at the state teen title. Through the pageant she was scouted by Missouri talent agents Jeff and Mary Clarke, who tried to put her in regular-size modeling. She did not place among the 15 semi-finalists in the 2004 Miss Teen-USA pageant on August 6, 2004 in Palm Springs, California. After being turned away by "straight-size" model agents at a scouting event in St. Louis, Missouri, at age 16, Dalbesio was eventually signed by the Ford Modeling Agency as a plus-size model (size 10), when she came in for a meeting at age 18. She has appeared in editorials for magazines including LOVE, Purple, Vogue India, Dazed & Confused, Lui, Bon, Oyster, Twin, Viva Moda, Elle France, and Elle Italia. In December 2014, Dalbesio appeared on the cover of Lady magazine, shot by Daniel Arnold.[citation needed] In April 2015, she was featured on the cover of Tush Magazine, photographed by Armin Morbach, followed by covers for Glamour Iceland, Madame, Lifetsyle, Suited, Feeling, and a self-portrait for P Magazine.[citation needed] Dalbesio was selected for Calvin Klein's "Perfectly Fit" underwear campaign in 2014. Her designation as "plus-size" caused some controversy. In an interview with Elle magazine, Dalbesio said although she was larger than previous models used in Klein campaigns, she considers herself "in-between" rather than plus sized. In 2015, Dalbesio was placed on Models.com's "Hot List", and Maxim magazine's Hot 100 for 2015. Dalbesio has appeared in campaigns for Intimissimi, H&M, Levis,[citation needed] Abercrombie & Fitch, and Coach.[citation needed] She was named the face and brand ambassador for Prima Donna Lingerie for years 2016 through 2019. In 2019 she designed an exclusive capsule collection for Prima Donna. The collection included lingerie, swimwear, and sportswear for women with a larger cup size and a streetwear sensibility. In 2016 Dalbesio photographed herself for a self-portrait story for the first non-nude issue of Playboy. Dalbesio made her debut in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2017, and continued to appear in the swimsuit issue for four consecutive years. Art
