Ashley Graham’s biкini photos are flawless: hottest swimsսit looks by the model
Ashley Graham began her career as a model, but she’s since garnered a large following as a body-positivity campaigner, podcaster, and more.
Ashley began modelling at the age of 13, and her big break came in 2016 when she graced the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsսit edition, becoming the publication’s first ‘curvy’ cover model.
“I knew it was a possibility because they warn you on set that every photo may be the cover. You simply don’t know. So I took every shot seriously, and I felt it would be extremely historic if Sports Illustrated put a lady in a size 14-16 on the cover,” she told TIME in February 2016.
“Then I realised, ‘Maybe it’s just too progressive.'”

Perhaps they’ll wait another year. Nobody knows. When I first saw it, I thought to myself, ‘Oh my god, this is real life.’Now, the lovely mother of three is a global brand ambassador for Knix, rocking stunning styles on the runway (and the beach)!
