Ashley Graham’s recent Instagram post tops the list. She posted a naked picture of her pregnant self, flaunting her stretch marks in all their glory. Stretch marks are a controversial topic, and people with stretch marks get shamed. Beauty products have been invented to diminish and hide them. While they are natural and everyone gets them in puberty and pregnancy, the normalisation of stretch marks is still a struggle. Natural is not ugly.

Ashley Graham has been vocal about what an actual bikini body is. You take a bikini and put it on; that's a bikini body. In 2015, Ashley Graham became a permanent partner of Swimsuit for All after their #CurvesInBikinis campaign with the model went viral. The supermodel is now the face of the brand. Not only is she the face of an inclusive brand, but she also reposts and adds pictures of plus-sized women rocking bikinis from her collab. What a Kween!

Victoria’s Secret has always been criticised for only hiring models of specific body type. After the 2017 show, Ashley posted a picture of herself in some sexy lingerie with wings and captioned it “got my wings”. People loved the attack on Victoria’s Secret for being a brand that has been time and again slammed for their lack of inclusivity.

Congrats to Ashley and her hubby for the little one on the way. We wish everything goes well and Ashley continues to inspire us with her confidence and grace.
