Ashley Graham Accidentally Unveils Her Size: Beyond 'Plus-Size' Labels
The Bombshell That Rocked Ashley Graham's World: Her Clothing Size Revealed on Instagram!
In a shocking turn of events, plus-size supermodel Ashley Graham has accidentally revealed her clothing size in a brand new post shared on Friday. The 37-year-old Vogue cover girl was showing off her latest design for JCPenney when she flashed the size on the tag inside a brown faux leather jacket: 0X.
But what does that actually mean? Well, insiders claim it's smaller than a 1X but larger than an XL, which is roughly equivalent to a US women's size 14W or 16W - though this can vary depending on the manufacturer. Graham has always been tight-lipped about her weight and body measurements, fueling speculation that she was anywhere from a 12 to a 16.
The incident occurred while Graham was showcasing some pieces from her collection for JCPenney, which is set to launch this fall. The line will cater specifically to the full-figured woman, reflecting Graham's bold and confident style. In April, the company announced that they had tapped the model to create an exclusive namesake collection.
Graham has been vocal about her disdain for being labeled a "plus-size" model, saying she hates constantly discussing her body. Speaking to WSJ Magazine, she bemoaned the fact that she's constantly asked about her figure, pointing out that men don't face the same scrutiny.
But it seems Graham is not one to shy away from controversy. In April, she shared a sneak peek of her collection on Instagram, writing: "Sneak peak of some pieces from my collection (eeeekkk!!) ((am I allowed to show these yet? )) (((I can NOT wait to show you more!))"
Graham's foray into fashion is not the only exciting development in her career. The model made headlines earlier this year when she landed the role of Roxie Hart in the long-running musical Chicago. She was seen looking stunning in a plunging leopard-print swimsuit, but behind the scenes, Graham has been open about facing criticism and rejection throughout her career.
In an appearance on CBS Mornings, she revealed that she's been motivated by her critics, saying: "I have been told no so many times in my career. I've been told that I'm not good enough. All the things. And I'm using that and bringing that to the stage."
Graham has also spoken about her time on Broadway, sharing a touching message from none other than Brooke Shields, who gave her advice ahead of her debut. Graham said: "Brooke Shields has been a beacon of light. She has texted me paragraphs and photos and has been so kind and sweet." The two met in the bathroom shortly before Graham auditioned for Chicago.
As for what's next for Graham, fans are eagerly awaiting the launch of her JCPenney collection this fall. With her bold style and unapologetic attitude, it's clear that the model is here to stay - and she's not afraid to break a few fashion rules along the way!
