IN a world of retouched photos and carefully curated social medias, showing the natural body – flaws and all – is something many celebrities avoid.
But Ashley Graham, who was crowned World’s Sexiest Woman by Maxim magazine this year, is proving that curves and rolls are beautiful.
As a mom-of-three and a plus-size model, Graham knows that the female body is constantly changing.
With her husband Justin Ervin by her side, Graham gave birth to their first son in January of 2020, and then to twins in January of 2022 – meaning she’s experienced baby bumps, stretch marks, and a growing bust.
And today, a little over 18 months after the twins, the brunette bombshell is baring her mom-pooch in an Instagram story.
Wearing a revealing one-piece swimsuit from Lori Harvey’s brand Yevrah, Graham sat on a lounge chair and enjoyed lunch.
She panned the camera down to reveal her buxom chest, her full belly, and her curvy thighs – clearly proud of how she looks.
Once Sports Illustrated’s rookie of the year (2016), the plus-size model is now an A-lister who is vocal about body positivity.
She has given TED talks on the matter, wrote a book about it, and regularly reminds her social media followers that cellulite and rolls should be celebrated.
Just this year, she shared an image via Instagram of herself grabbing the excess skin on her stomach and received hundreds of comments of praise.
“We need more realistic models like her,” one person wrote.
“I wish I saw a post like this when I was younger. The impact of photos like these is substantial,” another chimed in.
The model has never been one to shy away from skimpy bikinis or sexy photoshoots – regardless of the state she’s in.
Only weeks after giving birth to her first son, she took to Instagram to show off her postpartum body, unlike other celebs who wait until they “bounce back” to post a bikini pic.
“No one talks about the recovery and healing (yes even the messy parts) new moms go through,” she wrote in the Instagram post.
