Career[edit]

McGrady started her career as a straight sized model at age 15.[9] At 19, she decided to start plus size modeling because she could not maintain the 00 standard set by her agency.[10] In 2017, she became the largest model (size 16) to appear in a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.[11][12][13] In 2019, she was the first plus-size model on a cover of The Knot.[14] In 2024 McGrady appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated for their 60th anniversary Legends issue.[15][16]

In 2021 McGrady launched her groundbreaking clothing line All Worthy with QVC[17] which included a size range from XXS to 5X. Speaking with Teen Vogue of her line, McGrady said “I want everybody to feel worthy," she told Teen Vogue. "I want them to feel empowered, amazing, beautiful, comfortable in their skin. I want them to put on these pieces and feel like they can just take on the day and be the best that they can be, and I want people to know that we're all in this together."[18] In 2022 McGrady was featured on the cover of Health Magazine’s Jan/Feb issue.[19]
