Here's The Actual First Plus-Size Model In Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue

Spoiler alert: It's not the model everyone's talking about.

Everybody's been talking about how model Ashley Graham will appear in an ad in this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

But Robyn Lawley is ACTUALLY the first plus-size model to ever be included in a Sports Illustrated editorial.

Lawley is one of seven "rookie" models in the issue, which also includes Ashley Smith, Erin Heatherton, and Rose Bertram.

Lawley is considered one of the first-ever plus-size "supermodels."

And one of the first to land a major campaigns with both Ralph Lauren and H&M.

Lawley, a size 12, has been very vocal about her distaste for the term "plus-size" in the past.

She also wants to dispel myths about what it means to be "plus size."

Lawley seems to have had a positive experience with SI.

Check out her "rookie" introduction video and rejoice in the curves.
