Meet Sports Illustrated's first plus-size model

MANILA, Philippines – For the first time in history, Sports Illustrated is featuring a plus size model in an “editorial spread.”

Robyn Lawley, an Australian Native is gracing the issue's "Rookies" section, wearing a scanty tangerine and snake skin-inspired bikini that showcases her bodacious curves.

In the US, size 12 Lawley is technically considered a plus-size although an average American woman is size 14. She was considered as one of the first plus-size women in the modeling industry and has been very vocal about her advocacy to stop the plus-size stigma.

“I don’t know if I consider myself as a plus-size model or not. I just consider myself a model because I’m trying to help women in general accept their bodies,” Lawley told TIME.

Lawley shared her scorching hot photos on her Instagram account:




Aside from Lawley, size 16 model Ashley Graham  also made buzz for starring in the first ever ad to feature a plus-size model in the pages of the magazine's annual swimsuit issue.

This year's coveted swimsuit issue features Hannah Davis, a 24-year old model hailing from St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
