Her stated weight is 174 pounds. Healthy weight range for her height is 139-173 pounds, she is clearly pushing the upper limit of that range. According to this calculator she is in just into the overweight range.
But, anything that moves the 'desirable' away from the borderline skeletal is OK with me.

Numbers notwithstanding, curvy is one thing and while she's not obese, to my eye, she looks overweight.
