The 28-year-old size fourteen model has become the first-ever plus-sized model to grace the covers of Sport Illustrated’s best seller of the year, their swimsuit edition, making waves in the modelling world. With former cover girls like Kate Upton and Chrissy Teigen, Graham’s addition to be the cover shows a forward push in body positivity, and we’re excited.
Looking glowing gorgeous both on the cover and at the debut party in New York, saying that she is so excited, not only for herself, but for young girls struggling with body anxiety issues.
This is a huge step for the world in choosing that beauty is not mutually exclusive to those who are a smaller size. It shows that everyone is beautiful and that we should learn to embrace ourselves for what we are and learn to love every inch, even the jiggly bits.
