Ashley Graham proudly displays post-pregnancy stretchmarks in inspirational Instagram post

February 18, 2020 - 14:29 GMT Alex Light I love Ashley Graham. I always have - she was one of the first models to be truly unapologetic about being a different size to the fashion and media norm, and the way she proudly shows off her body inspired me… It made me feel good to be me, to know that I can, too, feel comfortable in my own skin - and I know so many others feel the same.

Back in January, 32-year-old Ashley welcomed baby Isaac with her husband, Justin Ervin, and she documented her pregnancy journey online. Now, the social media star has shared a snap of her tummy with her 10 million followers on Instagram. She captioned the picture:"Same me. Few new stories," referring to her purple stretch marks. The post had already racked up one million likes within a few hours of posting, and I’m not surprised - this is the kind of positivity we need in the world.

Lots of fellow celebrities took to the comments section to share their appreciation of the post. Lily Aldridge, Doutzen Kroes, Karlie Kloss and Joan Smalls all shared hearts and words of encouragement. In another recent post, Ashley posed in a pair of disposable underwear and candidly discussed the 'messy' recovery after giving birth."Raise your hand if you didn’t know you’d be changing your own diapers too," she wrote.

"After all these years in fashion, I never could’ve guessed that disposable underwear would be my favourite piece of clothing but here we are! No one talks about the recovery and healing new moms go through. I wanted to show you guys that it’s not all rainbows and butterflies." Social media is a brilliant way to connect people and create communities, but it also has a dark side. Join HELLO!'s #HelloToKindness campaign to promote positivity on social media. A kind ethos underpins everything we do at HELLO! and we urge our community to think twice before you post. Find out more about the #HelloToKindness campaign.
