Ashley Graham's participation in the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show marks a significant moment in body positivity and inclusivity in the fashion industry.

AceShowbiz - Ashley Graham, 36, made her highly anticipated debut at the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which returned to the runway after a six-year hiatus. The beloved model's participation was met with mixed reactions, sparking discussions about body diversity.

Graham's journey to the Victoria's Secret stage began with hesitancy. However, after discussions with the brand's leadership, she was convinced by their commitment to extended sizes. In the past, Graham has been vocal about her belief that women of all shapes and sizes should feel represented.

"When I talked to the head of Victoria's Secret and they ensured me that their hope and their plan is to have extended sizes, I said, yes so that there could be more women that could see themselves represented on the runway because we did not see that during Fashion Month," Graham shared.

On the runway, Graham exuded confidence in a slinky black lace bodysuit layered over a matching thong, accompanied by a delicate robe and golden-embellished wings. She paired the ensemble with custom René Caovilla heels, showcasing her curves and embracing her post-partum body.

Graham acknowledged that her participation in the show was not without its critics. However, she remained determined to represent the diverse range of women who wear the brand's lingerie. "There's no one look for beauty.

Perfection doesn't exist. We are all humans living in bodies that I think are beautiful, and that's what I hope Victoria's Secret's biggest takeaway is," she stated.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has long been criticized for its lack of diversity. In 2019, the show was canceled due to backlash from consumers and models alike. The brand has since taken steps to promote inclusivity, including featuring transgender and plus-size models in its campaigns.

Graham's debut on the Victoria's Secret runway is a significant step toward the normalization of curvy women in mainstream fashion. It represents a shift in societal perceptions of beauty and sends a positive message to women who have been marginalized in the past.
