Maxim’s Hot 100 crowns Ashley Graham as the 2023 Sexiest Woman, marking a historic moment as the first plus-size woman to earn this honor. In this year’s list, numerous women boldly embrace their allure in front of the cameras like never before.
Ashley Graham began her modeling career at 13 and quickly became a trailblazing advocate for body positivity and plus-size models.
At 35 years old, Ashley Graham is a mother to three children and enjoys sharing her parenting experiences with her fans when she’s not strutting down the runway. Maxim recently interviewed the accomplished model.
She said: “I hope this inspires more women to embrace their curves and their beauty… I look up to women who are fearless and authentic.”
“I’ve been told I’m too fat, too old, too this or that. But I’ve learned to turn those negatives into positives. I’ve learned to love myself and celebrate my uniqueness.”
