Great curves, radiant beauty and a successful modeling career: with the birth of her son in 2020, the 32-year-old's happiness was complete. But being beautiful is not her only strength. With her confidence and her realistic portrayal of femininity, she is a great inspiration.

Her mother's best tip

What a complexion like hers would we give! Whether on the red carpet or without make-up on Instagram: Ashley's skin is simply enviable! She now reveals the secret of her perfect tan in an interview with Andrea Schumacher for Gala: "Even if I already have a tanned complexion, I used to go out into the sun all the time." Fortunately, she warned her mother at the time: "Be careful, this is not healthy." That is why she has been using tanning products from a young age, which she still loves today: "For me, as a young mother, it is simply wonderful to incorporate self-tanners into my daily beauty routine. Ashley Graham is the new testimonial for the St. Tropez tanning products that she even used during her pregnancy.

Strong woman – strong message

Ashley Graham is loved by her fans for her outspoken openness, especially when it comes to taboo subjects: "I show what it's really like. I talk about what it's like to express milk in a taxi." On Instagram, the model shares intimate insights while breastfeeding and shows her body almost uncovered. "I've always been rated somehow." With her posts on stretch marks and pregnancy weightlifting, she wants to encourage all women to "be themselves."

The tasks as a mother now present her with completely new challenges, she continues: "At first I was worried about just getting everything right." She is still not immune to criticism relating to her role as a mother: "If someone claims that I would do something wrong as a mother, it of course hurts me." Although it creates a large target area, Ashley Graham likes to share these personal moments with her followers. She embodies the message of self-love more authentically than ever before!
