At size 16, Robyn Lawley is four sizes bigger than most fashion models, but that hasn’t stopped her launching a career half the super-skinny set are jealous of.

Robyn, 23, was born in western Sydney and started her career as a “straight size” model. The pressure to be thin was too much and after a year she quit, unable to maintain the size 8 figure required.

Instead, she signed with a plus-size agency and has never looked back. She is now one of the world’s most in-demand models and this week became the first plus-size model to star in a Ralph Lauren campaign.

Here are our favourite pictures of the Australian beauty.
