Ashley Graham, the queen of curves is a breath of fresh air in the fashion industry. With a personality as bright as her technicolor swimsuits, she never fails to dazzle on the runway or in front of the camera. She’s not just a model, she’s a movement—and we’re here for it.
The bodacious bombshell’s confidence is contagious and inspirational, proving that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. In a world where size zero has reigned supreme for far too long, Ashley reminds us that the secret to overcoming it all isn’t just about embracing your curves, but accepting yourself just the way you are.
“We can look at everybody’s shapes and sizes, gender, ethnicity, and age as part of who they are; it doesn’t have to be a negative or a positive,” she declares. “It should be something that’s easily embraced, and we don’t need to be having these conversations all the time. Our bodies are always changing, and they’re always evolving. I’ve been using my own body as a tool to be able to talk about these feelings.”
As gorgeous as she is inspirational, Ashley is an absolute goddess of the runway. With curves for days and a smile that could light up a stadium, we can’t help but be enchanted by the way she owns every inch of her flawless figure. From her luscious locks to her impeccably manicured toes, she’s a walking, talking work of art—and if Botticelli were alive today, he would ditch the Venus de Milo and paint her as his masterpiece instead.
