If you were excited to see Ashley Graham grace the pages of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue, we’ve got some even better model-related news: Robyn Lawley has been named one of the magazine’s rookies of the year, a coveted spot and a true first for a plus-size model. However, as thrilled as we are to see the industry changing and becoming more accepting of different body types, there is the argument that Robyn, who’s really a size 12, isn’t actually “plus-size.” She even disapproves of the term herself, saying that she wishes people would stop using it.
So what do you think? Is this groundbreaking, or is Robyn just an average-sized girl?
