Rebel Wilson Has Had Enough of Plus-Size Clothes Looking Like Stuff "Your Auntie Would Wear to a Wedding"

Rebel Wilson announced plans for her first fashion line back in May, a capsule collection in partnership with
Torrid that Rebel said at the time was all about "making plus size fashion relevant and dope​." Rebel's designs will debut in stores and online Nov. 1, and she attended a launch party for the collection last night (pictured above with a few of her looks, and there are sparkles, so that's nice). "REBEL" features prominently as, you know, both her name and a slogan for some graphic tees on display.

Rebel also spoke with spoke with People magazine magazine about the line, explaining again that, to her, "a lot of plus-size clothing didn't seem cool or on-trend. It was kind of like what your auntie would wear to a wedding." So she's designed clothes that suit her — everything from "urban" pieces to preppy looks, red carpet glam to comfortable sweats. Yes to the sweats; two looks previewed in People also include more graphic tees, glittery sweaters, and some glam-looking biker-style pants. "I just was always the kind of person who cared what was on the inside ... it's not really about my personal aesthetic," she continued. "But then I realized that if girls can see me standing next to really skinny actresses holding my own and being really confident in how I look, then that's a good message."
