Ashley Graham showed off her ample curves at the Richard Quinn womenswear show on Saturday during London Fashion Week.   

The 35-year-old model and social media personality wore a tight, dark blue body suit which accentuated her ample bust. 

She added dark blue gloves to the ensemble and stood on elevated high heels.  

A flowery kimono hung off her shoulders and stopped just below her knees. Her hair was tied back behind her, and wisps of it ran down the right side of her face. 

The star wore dark pink lipstick and smokey eyeshadow, and she flashed a brilliant white smile.

Graham’s appearance at the event came after she was forced to defend her decision to stop breastfeeding her twins. 

While appearing on The Daily Show last week, she shared with host Chelsea Handler that she opted to stop breastfeeding Malachi and Roman after five months.

‘I stopped breastfeeding when they were five months, and I gave them the best formula I could find in America,’ she said. She is a spokesperson for the formula company Bobbie.

The model – who was seen playing with her kids earlier this week – also commented on how many people think they have the right to tell others how to feed their children.

‘These little guys are so strong and so happy, so I don’t think we should be telling people how they should be feeding their kids.’

The former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover star jokingly likened feeding her sons to ‘feeding a nation.’

She continued: ‘There’s this whole thing with people telling you how to feed your child. With my first kid, I was like, “I could only breastfeed. This is the right way.”‘

Ashley also noted how ‘this has been a journey,’ and her hair even fell out.

‘Then I had the twins, and I was like, “I’m not doing this.” This is not working here. Both of you want both of [my breasts]. This is a lot of work.’

In an interview with PEOPLE from September 2022, Ashley opened up about her ‘stressful’ breastfeeding journey.

She shared that the first week of breastfeeding her twins had been ‘so hard’ because she was trying to figure out how to position them and latch them on.

They got into a rhythm after a week but then things changed, both with her and the babies.

‘All of a sudden it was like we didn’t want to do it anymore and I felt defeated. I felt like what am I going to do? How am I going to feed my babies?’ 

She then said that she had to have some ‘internal conversations’ with herself to get through tough moments.

‘I remember telling myself, “It’s okay if you have to use formula. Don’t worry. You’re not failing as a parent.”‘

The former America’s Next Top Model judge made history as the first parent to combo feed her babies on a billboard.
