Like all dream opportunities, Torrid's annual Casting Call doesn't come around often. Yet when it does, it's huge. Torrid, the go-to destination for plus-size fashion, is back with its highly anticipated nationwide model search, giving aspiring you the chance to step in front of the camera and shine. This isn't just about clothes—it's about celebrating individuality, inclusivity, and the confidence that comes from truly being seen.
In the video above, Cosmopolitan Video Editor Sarah Ng helps spread the word about what makes this moment so exciting—and how you can throw your name in the ring.
Applications are now open at Torrid.com/CastingCall2025, and the process is as thrilling as the prize. To enter, submit a few photos and a short video explaining why you want to be the next Torrid model. From there, 30 finalists will be chosen, and public voting will narrow it down to the top 15. Those finalists will then head to Los Angeles for an unforgettable experience, complete with a mentorship program, a professional photoshoot, and content workshops designed to help them take their modeling dreams to the next level.
The 5 grand prize winners—announced in November—will have the opportunity to appear in a Torrid 2026 campaign, a year-long $15,000 wardrobe, and $2,000 in cash. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break into the industry on a national stage.
Torrid's Casting Call is the ultimate chance to take your fashion dreams from the mirror to the runway.
