Pregnant Ashley Graham praised for showing off stretch marks in empowering nude shot

Pregnant model Ashley Graham has been praised for sharing a nude photo showing off her stretch marks on social media.

The 31-year-old, who is expecting her first child with husband Justin Ervin, posted the empowering shot of her hips, breasts, and thighs on Instagram, and highlighted her pregnancy curves by refusing to alter the image.

“Same same but a little different,” Ashley wrote alongside the picture, which featured her manicured hand covering her breast.

Fellow model Lily Aldridge and actress Niecy Nash were quick to show their support to Ashley, and both left a series of red heart emojis in the comments.

While Lady Antebellum frontwoman Hillary Scott commented, “My Lord, THANK YOU for this.”
