Ashley Graham "Now I feel great"
Completely naked Ashley showed what happens to the body in pregnancy. She said that there is nothing more beautiful than pregnant belly.
Plus-size model Ashley Graham has never been ashamed of her curves, and now in a new post on Instagram, she showed what her belly looks like full of pregnant stretch marks.
The post has over a million likes and a bunch of comments. All of them are positive and encouraging. She gave birth to a boy, Isaac Menelik Giovanni Ervin, last year. This time, she is expecting twins.
“ Justin said my stretch marks look like a tree of life,” she wrote next to a photo that all fans liked with admiration for not being photoshopped. Models Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Helena Christensen, Lily Aldridge also supported her in the comments, and Gigi Hadid also liked the post.
"A woman's body is a miracle," "You're beautiful. Stretch marks will always tell your story so wear them proud," "Love your stretch marks. I have them too," are just some of her fan's comments.
Ashley started modeling in 2001, and in 2003 she officially signed a contract with Ford Models agency.
With the ready-to-wear number 46, she appeared on the covers of various magazines and collaborated with world-famous brands. Ashle has her own lingerie line and is an activist of the Health at Every Size movement. All of this has influenced women around the world to embrace their bodies and love them just the way they are.
Graham stated she is not ok with the term "plus-size", saying, "I think that when you use the word 'plus-size' you're putting all these women into one category: 'You don't eat well.' 'You don't work out.' 'You couldn't care less about your body.' 'You're insecure.' 'You have no confidence.' And that is none of this (pointing at her body)"... The fashion industry may persist to label me as 'plus-size,' but I like to think of it as 'my size."
