Ashley Graham was photographed at the 2018 Hearst MagFront event in New York City on Wednesday, October 17 looking fabulous as she showed off her curves! Scroll through to hear more about her thoughts on weight loss.
The model definitely looks like she's slimmed down, but its unlikely she'll be commenting on the observation that has started a controversy in the plus-size modeling community.
Ashley is sick of the never-ending speculation over her weight. At Vogue's Forces of Fashion Conference, she sat down with Vogue's Runway Director Nicole Phelp and other supermodels including, Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Paloma Elsesser. In the interview, she said, "People feel that they have ownership over your body in society today and I think that it's really ridiculous because you don't. My body is mine. I workout because I want to stay healthy and if I happen to gain 10 pounds or lose 10 pounds its none of your business."
The influential plus size model has broken major stereotypes in the modeling industry regarding what society feels like models should look like in magazines, advertisements and on the runway. Some fans have appeared to be upset about Ashley's potential weight loss due to the barriers that she has broken in the modeling community for plus size models.
After posting a photo of herself in this dress at Vogue's Forces of Fashion Conference on her Instagram, she received a lot of negative feedback from fans. One supporter wrote, "You look stunning but I'm afraid that being plus sized is never going to be socially accepted when the woman who practically founded it in the first place continues to lose weight or photoshop."
One disappointed fan wrote, "Too skinny. Don't represent me anymore." Another one said, "You don't look like a curvy model anymore."
While at Hearst's headquarters in New York for the 2018 MagFront event, the 30-year-old posed with Gayle King and Sade Baderinwa.
