Chrissy Teigen isn't flawless and she knows that. The Sports Illustrated model, who gave birth to her first child less than a year ago, also let everyone know it when she recently posted on Twitter a photo of the stretch marks on her leg.
"Whatevs," the 31-year-old beauty captioned the snap, which also showed an almost empty wine glass. Thinking the unretouched photo was inspiring, hundreds of her followers praised Teigen in the comment section.

"Stretch marks develop when tremendous growth happen in a short period of time. They're a source of pride, embrace them," one fan wrote. "Thank u so much for this omg i grew up hating my body bc of my stretch marks nd had no representation of women w visible stretch marks," another said.

After receiving so much love from her fans, Teigen shared in a follow-up tweet that the photo was supposed to highlight the wine. "When I drink wine I say 'whatevs' and sober Chrissy doesn't like it," she said.
In another tweet, she added that she didn't expect people to praise her for the stretch marks photo. "I do not post stretchies for the praise. I post it because the wine also I like the pattern and they're so soft," she explained.
