Ashley Graham did a nude shoot with the ladies of “America’s Next Top Model” to emphasize body confidence, and woah we’re inspired
Our guilty pleasure is definitely America’s Next Top Model. It’s so easy to get obsessed! So we were beyond psyched when we heard that Ashley Graham did a nude shoot for ANTM. We heart this show so much, and we’re especially excited for how much more diverse the latest cycle is. The inclusion of Ashley Graham, model and our body positive icon, is just the icing on the cake.
According to our friends at Entertainment Weekly, who got a preview of the episode, Graham introduces the models to the concept of posing nude by acting as an example. She poses topless behind a curtain of pearls, and it’s just as beautiful as it sounds.

One reason we’re so proud of this amazing lady is that we know what a struggle it’s been for her to love her body. Earlier this year, Ashley Graham shared her struggle with body positivity with SELF, saying,
"I'm trying to change how women think about themselves. I've been denied jobs because I was too big. I've also been denied jobs because I was too small. At the end of the day, I'm never going to conform to what anybody wants. This is my body; I'm happy in it."
So the thought of her being a role model to these models feels so incredible. It’s proof of how far she’s come, and it makes us feel like we can push past our own body struggles, too.
