The Judgment of Paris is delighted to debut a host of new test images featuring gorgeous plus-size model Kelsey Olson (size 16).

Photographed by Inez Lewis, these are some of the loveliest images of Miss Olson's career, and the standout photograph is certainly this headshot, which shows the model framed by a canopy of blossoms overhead, even as the sunlight illuminates her tresses and gives them an angelic glow. Kelsey's expression is mesmerizing, highlighting the fairness of her eyes, while her hair caresses her face via a thick, half-uncurled golden lock.

Kelsey adopts an entirely different demeanour in the following image, with a radiant, open-mouthed smile that speaks of the pure joy of life. The flowers and the model present the beauty of the world in full bloom.

Notice the loveliness of Miss Olson's blouse, adorned as it is with a floral print, while the fabric appears delicate and feminine.

Another captivating headshot situates the model against a lush, verdant backdrop. Notice the medallion-like earrings, which introduce an element of richness into the image, like the golden jewels of Heley of Troy discovered by Heinrich Schliemann in Hisarlik.

Kelsey's lips are parted, as if in appetitive desire, yet the innate prettiness of her look softens the effect. Her big, blue eyes hypnotize the viewer.

In an essay on pure delight, the following portrait shows Kelsey twirling her skirt in a captivatingly feminine manner. The lush greenery all around her echoes her own voluptuous fecundity. The abbreviated skirt displays her shapely legs.

Observe how even her golden tresses seem to flutter around her angelic visage in this depiction of earthly happiness. No prelapsarian garden was ever filled with as much beauty as this greenspace, with Kelsey as the golden lily amid the verdure. The skirt exhibits a vintage pattern of near-Celtic complexity.

For a complete change of pace, here is Kelsey in cinematic black and white. The pose is utterly fascinating, as the model seems almost to be defying gravity.

A closer view shows fascinating details, like the enchanting femininity of Kelsey's lacy, vintage-style blouse, as well as her big, decorative earrings. While her arm movements and stance are dramatic, the model softens the effect with her gentle demeanour, which renders the overall impression of the image poetic and graceful.

Another image of Miss Olson as a silver-screen siren finds her almost in a trance. Modelling with closed eyes is a challenging endeavour, yet Kelsey creates the impression that she is in a dreamlike reverie. Observe the voluptuous swell of her curves beneath her blouse, as well as the soft cascade of her golden hair.

Finally, the following image shows Miss Olson in a figure-embracing black outfit which defines her every lovely curve. The hosiery continues the vintage theme which runs through the entire test, binding it together as a single creative vision. The blue background effectively sets off the model's fair complexion and golden hair. Kelsey appears alluring and passionate, using the force of her personality to give the image energy and drive.

Bravo to Miss Olson for an outstanding new test and to photographer Inez Lewis for capturing her beauty in such a memorable way. Kudos especially to this team for selecting such a gorgeous outdoor location for the first four images in this post. Kelsey's delicate loveliness harmonizes with the lush settings to create an ideal depiction of timeless beauty, a tribute to the wonders of the natural world.

We are now thrilled to be able to share several more images from gorgeous plus-size model Kelsey Olson's recent test with Inez Lewis--images the beauty of which will stun admirers of timeless femininity.

The first is an unforgettable headshot from the blue-background look (one of the four environments in which Kelsey was photographed for this test). Her eyes are blue and soft, her complexion a rich hue, and her tresses cascade by her face. The most thrilling aspect of the image is the set of the model's mouth, a "breathe icy" expression, as if she were inhaling deeply to cool the high-temperature allure of her own beauty.

A second headshot exhibits a similar composition, with the model's hair appearing wilder and more voluptuous.

In this image, the point of focus is Miss Olson's eyes, those huge, mesmerizing blue orbs in which the model's admirers find themselves drowning in desire, as large and gentle as the eyes of a doll, yet here projecting sensual seductiveness.

One further image of the model in her slinky black dancer's outfit effectively shows off her vintage hosiery.

The model's pose creates many planes for the eyes to follow, yet still manages to display her curvaceous hips and thighs.

For an interlude, in the following image we return once more to Kelsey's black-and-white mode. Her fascinating pose suggests a dawn awakening--or perhaps, a preparation for nocturnal slumber. This pulled-back hairstyle is a departure for Miss Olson, but a very effective one, as the 'do accentuates the roundness of her facial features and gives her a vintage, voluptuous look, one that is commonly associated with the silver-screen starlets of the '50s and early '60s.

Observe how the chiaroscuro lighting creates a dramatic play of light and shadow over the model's visage. Her eyes-aside look is darkly alluring, yet exudes a simmering sensuality rather than an overly obviously provocation.

The final new images present Kelsey in a fourth look, a casual outfit that is nevertheless very pretty--a coral sweater and white slacks.

A second take highlights many aspects of the brilliant styling, including a golden bracelet that adds richness to the ensemble. Observe how the sweater itself appears to have golden elements within its very fabric, which the jewellery picks up.

Of course, all of these golden details bring out the gilded lustre of Kelsey's tresses, which flow softly over her shoulders. Notice how her lip colour harmonizes with the hue of her sweater, and how her eyes, in this image, appear diamond-like in their translucent clarity.

The final photograph is an unexpected treat--a dynamic image in which Kelsey's tresses fly freely, billowing like the burgee atop a sailing vessel's mast.

Observe Kelsey's carefree expression, so light-hearted and unaffected, communicating a spirit of joyous abandon which perfectly suits the untamed flow of her golden mane. Even her hands and arms seem to toss about carelessly in a spirit of lightness, as if the model were floating in the aether.

Bravo to Miss Olson for another outstanding set of images from one of the most beautiful fashion tests we have yet seen.

The entire photo shoot is captivating, but by far the most gorgeous images are the ones showing Kelsey in this lyrical garden setting. This location is utterly perfect. It's like someone dreamed up the ideal backdrop for a Kelsey Olson shoot, waved a magic wand, and presto - here are the prettiest photos imaginable.

This is my favourite. We've all seen a number of gorgeous projects with plus-size models shot in greenscapes, but the flowers add an extra special touch. Flowers are the loveliest expressions of the natural world, just as Kelsey is the prettiest of goddesses.


The look in Kelsey's eyes melts the heart. It's so doe-eyed and gentle, but filled with longing. And the way her hair shines like spun gold is magical.

This may be the single most beautiful picture of her career.

Absolutely gorgeous photos. I adore them all, as I adore every photo shoot with Kelsey.

She's an angel. Everywhere she goes, there should be a backdrop of flowers.

Chad

Absolutely the most beautiful of models, and, in the first photographs, pictured in the most beautiful of locations. It's as if the photographer was transported to heaven to shoot Kelsey in the gardens of Elysium. I can almost inhale the rich fragrance of the blossoms in the image. It's as if the flowers around Kelsey are a pictorial expression of her inner state, her femininity and loveliness.

Kelsey's beauty is breathtaking, but what sets her apart from every other goddess is the deep emotion that she puts into her images - the soulful feelings that the big, blue eyes communicate.

Truly stunning.
