Ashley Graham looks amazing in her bodycon dress

Ashley Graham continues to dish out confidence like it’s going out of style. The model and mom, who is not afraid to show off her postpartum body, hit up MTV’s Video Music Awards this weekend wearing a stunning black cut-out dress that didn’t hold anything back.

The bodycon dress was designed by Houghton and Graham tells Access Hollywood the style is “So hot. But my stretch marks are out and I’m like ‘Okay here we go stretch marks, let’s go! You know what? I’m gonna show it all off in the photos and in real life.”

Preach.

She went on to say that even though she has eight-month-old twins at home, she still feels “sexy and hot.” Not only does the model share twins Malachi and Roman with husband Justin Ervin, there’s also two-year-old big brother Isaac at home, too.

In typical Ashley fashion, she is inspiring women everywhere to love their bodies. One follower commented that Graham is an “Inspiration to all moms embrace your body. Because giving birth is the most beautiful thing and thank you for making our scares shine.”

TODAY also caught up with Graham on the red carpet who dished out even more body-positive sentiments. “I think that no matter the trend, just know that your body is in because our bodies are not a trend. And I’m a poet and I didn’t even know it.”

Mic drop.

Graham has been a beacon of confidence and self-love for years as she’s navigated the modeling world where she’s bucking traditional standards. Now as a mom, she continue to fight against unrealistic bounce back culture and encourages body acceptance.

She often thanks her body for all the hard work it’s done bringing three children into the world on Instagram, as well as sharing real life images as she takes on motherhood. Her newest foray at the VMA’s is just one more reason to love her.
