Ashley Graham has made history by becoming the first plus-size woman in history to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine.

This is Ashley Graham, a plus-size model, body activist and designer, appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

But Ashley’s the only one making history as the first curvy lady to EVER grace the magazine’s cover.

And the size 16 star looks totally awesome.

Sports Illustrated is being showered with praise for breaking the mould and featuring three very different body types in their Swimsuit Edition.

Because, you know, it’s 2016.

And 28-year-old Ashley herself looks pretty chuffed, too.
