Barbie Ferreira has become a viral sensation after American Eagle loungewear brand Aerie announced her as the new face of their campaign "Aero Real."
Growing up, the 19-year-old plus-size model never thought her image would inspire girls around the world. "As a child I was so deeply insecure,” Ferreira told Time, revealing she was most insecure about her hips. “I’d go to classes and auditions and I’d think I’m not going to get this because of my body.”
Now, Ferreira, who has a contract with renowned model agency Wilhelmina, embraces her curvy figure, is shutting down haters and empowering women everywhere with her flawless, sexy and un-retouched photos on social media.
"I was so insecure and I had no one to look up to who could make me feel like all my dreams are valid," she said to Time. I know so many gorgeous women who even inspired me to model to break this boundary, and it makes me feel like girls out there can dream about something without having to think about the things that they can’t change," she added.
