Barbie Gets More Realistic as Belarusian Beauty Aryna Sabalenka Promotes Body Positivity With a Unique ?Carbs? Message

Barbie fever has gripped the world, and the tennis community is no different. A week earlier, Taylor Fritz‘s girlfriend revealed her obsession with the fantasy movie. People across the globe have changed the perspective surrounding the famous doll and brought more inclusivity to it over the years. What started as a perfect slim white doll now extends to all colors and all body shapes. The parent company, Mattel, even launched a collection of Barbie dolls to pay tribute to the 4-time Grand Slam champion, Naomi Osaka. Grand Slam champion Aryna Sabalenka is not immune to the hype either.

However, Sabalenka defied all the existing stereotypes surrounding women and Barbie with her recent social media activity. She shared a post that is far from fantasy and close to realistic times.

Aryna Sabalenka shares her own version of Barbie

The Belarusian tennis star took to her Instagram story to share a post that listed some classic characteristics of Barbie. However, there was a twist to the name, and the humorous post was the opposite of how the fantasy character has historically been portrayed. The post, which was created by a different account on Instagram, featured a woman who is not as thin as a typical Barbie and yet put forth an air of confidence.

The realistic version caught the Australian Open champion’s attention, and she reposted the hilarious pun for the world.?The meme read, “she’s pretty, self-confident, loves tacos and doesn’t care what you have to say about her appearance.” The post then highlighted the alternative name with big, bold letters calling the new version ‘Carbie’ with a tagline, “more carbie. less barbie.”

Sabalenka uploaded another story right after the post, which featured a picture of herself in the gym. She donned a pink tank top, pink gym shorts and captured a mirror selfie. In the spirit of her previous story, she captioned her story, “Carbie ?,”?indicating that she did not consider herself a regular Barbie.

As she looked stunning in pink, she did justice to a recent claim that she made as well. Even then, as she picked an alternate career path, she broke stereotypes.

The Belarusian champion revealed her backup career option

The WTA 2nd seed held an interaction session with fans two days before her ‘Carbie’ story. When a fan asked her about another probable career choice, Sabalenka expressed gratitude to her parents for introducing tennis to her. However, she added that she would likely choose to model if not for tennis.

The 25-year-old’s Instagram wall features many shoots with luxury brands like Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent. Sabalenka would have trashed typical norms with her attitude had she been a model. Her recent story of ‘Carbie’ is proof enough that a strict diet regime is not for her. ‘Carbie’ loves carbs and likewise, the trailblazer Sabalenka does not restrict her life choices to conformity.
