ASHLEY GRAHAM has spoken about her delight at being chosen as the first plus-size model to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. The model graces one of a trio of covers - with Hailey Clauson and UFC fighter Ronda Rousey appearing on the other two - which marks the first time that three different body shapes have been represented on the cover.
I see my cover and I wanted to drop to my knees but this dress would've ripped and I have Spanx on underneath this," Graham, whose reaction on stage as the cover was unveiled made the audience laugh, told People. "I thought Sports Illustrated was taking a risk by putting a girl my size in the pages, but putting me on the cover? They aren't just breaking barriers; they are the standard now. This is beyond epic."
