Ashley Graham proudly showed off her stretch marks with a stunning topless selfie on social media.
The model, 34, took to Instagram to upload a series of snaps as she heaped praise on her body, just three months after giving birth to twin boys.
“Hi, new tummy. We’ve been through a lot. Thank you. #3monthspostpartum,” Ashley wrote.
In the first picture, the model can be seen wearing black underwear and holding her bare chest as she poses in a bathroom mirror, with her stretch marks on show.
The second snap shows Ashley grabbing her tummy, while the last photo sees the former America’s Next Top Model judge pulling a face.
Her famous friends and fans were quick to comment on the post, and applauded Ashley for being body positive.
“Amazing the lives you’ve created and carried and pushed into this world,” supermodel Helena Christensen wrote.
“And that tummy has the most beautiful, wholesome stories to tell,” Slumdog Millionaire actress Freida Pinto added.
Her fans were also full of praise for Ashley’s unfiltered approach to motherhood, with some even confessing they had been inspired by the model to embrace their bodies.
“I’ve been frightened for ages about getting pregnant and having stretch marks… but damn!! You make it look beautiful and natural and something to never be ashamed of because your body created life!!! thank you for the reminder,” one commented.
While another added: “Thank you for this because I’m 2 months postpartum and seeing how beautiful you look is really empowering for those of us struggling with the way we look. You are stunning and I love this!”
Back in January, Ashley and her husband Justin Ervin - who are already parents to son Isaac, 2 - announced they had welcomed twin boys, Malachi and Roman.
“Malachi & Roman. my boys have been the greatest teachers and biggest reminders that I can do hard things,” she captioned a photo of her nursing her boys.
“This has not been easy, but it’s so worth it. still can’t believe I have 3 children can’t wait to share my birth & postpartum journey with you all soon,” she added.
