The Australian model from Sydney’s west is kicking goals in the fashion sphere and has just ticked off another triumph with a US Cosmopolitan cover and full beauty spread in the May issue of the magazine.
In an industry unlikely to embrace those beyond a small frame, no one was more surprised about the cover than the model herself who posted her excitement on social media.
Robyn shared the happy news on her official Facebook page on Tuesday, saying: “Had no idea, Cosmopolitan USA featured me as a second peel away cover !!! So awesome !!! I can’t wait to get an issue.”
The May issue of US Cosmopolitan is Robyn’s first ever beauty feature.
Robyn, who has been an advocate for size diversity since the beginning of her career, last year found herself on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about her ideas on body image.
“Saying you love your body actually works,” Lawley told Ellen. “It makes a positive rebound effect. And then you start loving your body. You start not caring about the little things.”

In the past, Robyn has also been dismissive of the “plus-size” tag that often precedes her moniker.
“Personally, I hate the term ‘plus-size’. It’s ridiculous and derogatory – it puts women down and it puts a label on them.”
Robyn first made international waves when she appeared on the cover of Vogue Italia alongside other curvy models Tara Lynn and Candice Huffine in June 2011.
