Ashley Graham said she had “gratitude” for her new body after the twins were born in January.
So the supermodel put it all on her first nude billboard for Spanx.
“I don’t think I’m naked on a billboard,” people said Tuesday. “I’m trying to remember – I’ve been a model for a long time – but I don’t think I’m naked.”
Although Graham was stunned when the ad was shot just three and a half months after giving birth, parts of his body were covered with Spanx Silver Linings fabric. The company uses the material to make all-white pants and shorts, which they believe provide “100% transparency” no matter how dark the underwear is.
Graham told People that her decision to make her first nude billboard soon after giving birth was not an easy one.
“My body has changed a lot,” she told the magazine. “I have a lot of appreciation for my body for all the hard work, but it really took me a while to look at my new body and postpartum body and get to know it again.”
She also shared that she was confident in the shoot because she was “fem mentally good”.
But Graham said he had to talk to the mirror for a while before filming.
“I said,‘ It’s going to be okay, ’” Graham said, adding to his reflection. “You’re incredible”.
In her post – published to celebrate the birth of her twin – she explains why she needs time to discuss the close details of her life.
“Now I’m starting to process and notice what the next chapter means to us,” he wrote.
Graham Billboard is now on display in Los Angeles.
