Ashley Graham Avoids Instagram Censorship With Shadows and Posing

Ashley Graham doesn’t just love a naked dress. She loves being naked.

The boundary-breaking plus-size model and body activist shared a sexy snapshot of herself — all of herself — in an outdoor shower on Instagram. Thanks to some creative use of shadows and angles, she’s managed to avoid the sultry image being censored by the social media site, whose no nudity policy is rather infamous at this point, despite the best efforts of notoriously nude Insta-celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski.

“Thank you @fsseychelles for your outdoor showers, beautiful hospitality, delicious steaks [sic] and flying foxes! Shot by my exclusive shower partner @mrjustinervin????,” the curvy 28-year-old captioned the picture from her vacation in Seychelles. Any censor-offending body parts are skillfully excluded from the image, which puts the model’s gorgeous profile and glowing skin front and center.

This provocative picture wasn’t the only revealing shot Graham shared from her New Year’s vacation with videographer husband Justin Ervin. In this poolside shot that leaves just a little bit more to the imagination, the bombshell shows off the primo posing skills that likely helped her become the first plus-size model to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s iconic swimsuit issue.

On Tuesday, she proved that a one-piece can be every bit as sexy as a tiny, weenie bikini with this sultry shot taken through the patio door.

Though of course, she looks equally as flawless post-snorkeling in this two-piece suit that shows every curve.

But this isn’t the first time Graham, who is clearly comfortable in her own skin, has bared it all: just take a look at her sexy spread for Fashion Unfiltered and appearance, sans clothes, on the cover of Grazia U.K.’s “Big Fashion Issue.” Most recently, the beauty proudly flung off her robe to pose nude alongside the contestants on the recently rebooted version of America’s Next Top Model, for which she is a judge, and she didn’t hesitate to share the moment on Instagram. (This time, a couple well-placed hearts hide any potentially offensive private parts from prying eyes.)

Clearly it’s no clothes, no problem for this body-positive beauty.
