Ashley Graham, 35, a model and mother of three, has been named the “World’s Sexiest Woman” by Maxim magazine. She models nude lingerie and a feather-trimmed robe on the cover of the magazine’s “Hot 100” issue, leaving behind major names like Margot Robbie, Cara Delevingne, Ana de Armas, and Doja Cat. The magazine dubbed Graham the “queen of curves” and praised her for being an advocate for body positivity.
Graham’s cover shoot featured a variety of seductive looks, including a sheer black lace dress by Christian Siriano and a red-hot ruffled skirt by Aliette. For several shots, she wore a Reformation pantsuit with a bra from her own Ashley Graham x Knix collection.
Graham discussed her changing body and the importance of embracing different body shapes and sizes in her accompanying cover story. She opened up about her stretch marks and sagging skin on Instagram after giving birth to twins with her husband Justin Ervin in January 2022. Graham revealed that her body, like everyone else’s, is “always changing” and “evolving.”
Graham’s latest Maxim cover represents a watershed moment in her career. “The first time I was on the cover of Maxim, I did not have three kids, and this time I have three little babies,” she explained. “It reminds you that ‘hotness’ can be found in a variety of situations and comes in all shapes and sizes.”
Ashley Graham’s Maxim cover exemplifies her beauty, self-assurance, and strength. She serves as an inspiration to women everywhere, encouraging them to embrace their bodies and accept themselves for who they are.
