A gorgeous photograph of a woman in late pregnancy — a photo for the public to feast its eyes on anyway — is still an exotic idea in America. And Ashley Graham’s gorgeous pregnancy photo is a masterpiece of the genre.
Many credit Demi Moore‘s memorable exposure for Vanity Fair (see below) during the heyday of her stardom and at the apex of her pregnancy as normalizing the idea.
But though it’s been done since Moore, the late pregnancy photo remains a rare and beautiful happening. Supermodel Ashley Graham‘s version, captured by the father of her imminent baby boy, is as good as it gets.
So good, in fact, that she doubled it. Ashley positively smolders — look at that face! — in the photo, her beautiful face half in shadow, her front proudly exposed and awesome. (Awesome is the only word!) She captions it: “beside myself with excitement to meet you, lil man🖤 shot by his dad.” Amazing.
