Ashley Graham, 37, accidentally reveals her size… after saying she does not want to be called a ‘plus size model’

by

Ashley Graham has accidentally revealed her clothing size in a new Instagram post shared on Friday.

The incident occurred while she was demonstrating a freshly crafted, chocolate-hued fake leather jacket from her collection exclusively for JCPenney.

On the Vogue cover graced by a 37-year-old model, reluctant to talk about her weight, there was an unexpected disclosure of numbers: she inadvertently showed the size on a tag hidden within the jacket she was holding up.

Zero-X falls between X and 1X in terms of size, usually equivalent to a U.S. women’s size 14W or 16W, although the exact correspondence may differ among manufacturers.

It’s been speculated that Graham might be anywhere between a size 12 and 16 in clothing, as she hasn’t publicly disclosed her actual size before.

A sneak peek at a few items from my collection – can’t contain my excitement (eeeekkk!!) – I wonder if it’s okay to reveal these just yet… I simply can’t wait to share more with you!”

This paraphrase aims to maintain the star’s enthusiastic and playful tone while making the sentence easier to read and understand.

In April, JCPenney revealed that they have chosen Graham to design an exclusive line, known as his namesake collection, specifically for women with larger body types.

This autumn, the product will be unveiled, showcasing a distinctive and assertive aesthetic that embodies Graham’s trademark flair, as per the company’s announcement.

‘This is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time,’ said Graham in April. 

From the start, JCPenney proved to be a trailblazer for me, offering me one of my initial modeling opportunities. Seeing JCPenney confidently assert its position as a fashion pioneer for diverse body types now is immensely empowering and inspirational.

This goes beyond a simple partnership; it’s a significant milestone that encapsulates our mutual past and represents a substantial stride towards creating an all-inclusive, affordable fashion industry.

Apart from her stunning Vogue cover, the 37-year-old model was equally impressive when she wore a low-cut leopard print bathing suit.

Graham expresses discomfort with being categorized as a ‘larger-sized’ model and shares that she finds it repetitive to frequently discuss her physique.

In a conversation with WSJ Magazine, Graham expressed her frustration about consistently fielding questions concerning her physique. She also highlighted the fact that she isn’t aware of any male counterpart who experiences similar scrutiny.

Months ago, Brooke Shields offered guidance to Graham prior to his Broadway premiere in Chicago.

The model played Roxie Hart in the long-running musical.

During an appearance on CBS Mornings, Ashley said: ‘Brooke Shields has been a beacon of light. 

‘She has texted me paragraphs and photos and has been so kind and sweet.’ 

The model actually ran into Brooke in the bathroom shortly before she auditioned for Chicago. 

Ashley said: ‘[I] was like, “This is a godsend, for sure.”‘

Following that, the celebrity known for gracing the runways, who had already been featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, then went on to pass along some of Brooke’s wisdom.

She conveyed: “She simply told me, ‘Just be you.’ Yet, my mind wondered, ‘What exactly does that entail?’ However, I chose to embrace this advice and genuinely showcased myself during the audition, for Roxie lies within each one of us.

‘She’s the go-getter, she wants to make it to the top, and she’ll do anything to get there.’ 

Ashley has also admitted to being motivated by her critics. 

She expressed: ‘In my professional journey, I’ve been told “no” numerous times. I was told I wasn’t skilled enough. A lot of things, really. Now, I’m drawing on those experiences and utilizing them as I step onto the stage.’

In March, it was officially announced that Ashley had been cast for a role, which she expressed great excitement about as it represented a fresh opportunity in her professional journey.

In a previous announcement, she expressed her gratitude for having the opportunity to launch her Broadway career portraying the renowned character, Roxie Hart.

Ashley expresses heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to take on a fresh challenge and looks forward to collaborating with such an extraordinary group of professionals. She excitedly announced this development on her Instagram account, informing her followers about it.

The model announced on the online space: ‘It’s confirmed. I’M HEADED TO BROADWAY!!! I can hardly believe it, but I am thrilled to let you know that I will be debuting on Broadway in the musical “Chicago”! Starting from Tuesday, April 15, and running until Sunday, May 25, I’ll be taking on the role of Roxie Hart at the Ambassador Theatre-aaah!!’
