Precious Lee is a prominent plus-size model from Atlanta, Georgia. Her father, Rudy, is a veteran cosmetologist with over fifty years of experience in the beauty industry. Throughout his career, he has owned seven salons and operated two cosmetology schools. He has also styled hair for celebrities, including acclaimed American singer Chaka Khan. Lee’s mother, a former model and educator, now serves as her manager, providing strategic support for her career.
Lee's introduction to modeling came unexpectedly when a friend took her to an open casting call. This marked the beginning of her early work in Atlanta, where she participated in local catalog shoots and modeling gigs that gave her a foundation in the fashion industry.
In August 2015, Precious Lee made headlines as the first Black plus-size model to appear in American Vogue, a significant landmark for diversity and representation in fashion. The following year, she again broke boundaries by becoming the first Black plus-size model to be featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Although her appearance was part of a Lane Bryant advertisement campaign and not the main editorial, it still marked a pivotal moment in the industry's evolving standards of beauty.
