Ashley Graham gets her own curvy Barbie
There's no doubt that 2016 has been Ashley Graham's year. The model has been making a name for herself on and off the runway. A vocalist for girls everywhere, her recent projects have been dedicated to promoting positive body image and redefining gender stereotypes.

But she hasn't stopped there. Ashley has recently partnered with Mattel to create her own Barbie, filled with all the things we love about Ashley. That means this Barbie is "thick" and "sexy", and doesn't have a thigh gap.

Included by Glamour as a Woman of the Year, Ashley is redefining what it means to be different - no matter shape, size or color.
"If I had a Barbie that was my size, I would have thought my size was normal. Young girls now get to grow up seeing that their bodies are normal, which I think is so empowering and encouraging to the younger generation," she said.
We can't wait to see what 2017 has in store for the role model.
