Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder - We have all heard this statement but even then our society marks out certain 'categories' or 'standards' of beauty. While a majority of people conform to these standards, there are so many who just don't. Gone are the days when quirky or unconventional looks meant ugly. Gone are the days when beauty was judged by celebrity standards. We live in a world where every human is beautiful in their own way. These 10 lovely people prove just why!

MELANIE GAYDOS!

Melanie was only a little girl when she was diagnosed with Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED). A disease with a combination of over 150 different syndromes ranging from abnormality of hair, teeth, nails, fingers, to irregular skin pigmentation. Melanie, a blind model with alopecia made it a point to not let her condition affect her life. Today she is an instagram sensation and has modeled for the best brands all around the world!

CAITLIN STICKLES!

Caitlin suffers from a disease called Schmid-Fraccaro syndrome, best known as cat eye syndrome. This chromosomal deficiency causes a downward turn of the eyes and an absence of tissue in the pupils — which creates a cat-like look. Photographer Nick Knight once spotted her on Instagram and asked her to model for his shoot for V magazine. The rest as they say, is history!

LIZZO

There was a time when plus sized models were frowned upon. Not anymore. This woman right here is changing the way the world thinks, one step at a time. She is black, she is huge (calls herself the BBW - Big Booty Woman!) and is sassy as sassy can get! Lizzo does not shy away from the media glare or the public stare and that is exactly why she is just so awesome!

SARA GEURTS

This 26 year old model is defying basic standards of beauty - good skin. She was born with a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), which slows down collagen production — causing skin to become delicate and wrinkled at a young age. This means while her face still looks young, her body looks quite shriveled up!

JILLIAN MERCADO!

Jillian developed muscular dystrophy as a toddler and has used a wheelchair since she was 12. This however did not hinder her from landing a contract with Diesel jeans and skyrocketing her career in the fashion world. Physical disability too can be beautiful, and so she prove effortlessly!

SHAUN ROSS!

When Beyonce recognized Shaun Ross and cast him in her video "Pretty Hurts" and that was his real break of sorts. From that time till today he has truly changed standards for models who are diverse and unconventional!
