Barbie Ferreira Wants to Know: Why Would...

KIRBIE JOHNSON AND SARA TAN
About this episode
You know Barbie Ferreira, but just in case: Barbie is a model, actress and current face of Becca Cosmetics. She made headlines with her Aerie campaign in 2016 and quickly became a face of the body positivity movement. Barbie made her TV debut as Kat in Euphoria, one of the coolest shows on TV, and will appear in her feature film debut, Unpregnant on HBO Max. This fiery Sagittarius gets real about the plus-size fashion industry, her true feelings about the body positivity movement, makes great points as to what brands are really saying when they aren’t inclusive in sizing or shade ranges, and talks about the makeup process on Euphoria.
