She wore a fuzzy white sweater, polka-dot white and green pants, white pumps, a tiny bow in her hair, and gold hoop earrings.

Yara has recently been named a Barbie role model, receiving a one-of-a-kind doll made to look like her, for pushing boundaries and inspiring the next generation of girls.

“What today represents, at least for me and for my peers globally, is that quite honestly, not even the sky is the limit,” Yara said during her speech (via her Instagram Stories). “I believe it is crucial to not only myself, but young girls everywhere, to understand they have the support of people, of corporations, of movements here to help them achieve their dreams.”

FYI: Yara is wearing a Marc Jacobs outfit and shoes with Jennifer Fisher hoop earrings.
