Ashley Graham brought the heat to social media with her latest carousel post.
The model stunned in a curve-hugging silver satin dress with a plunging neckline, while posing in her luxurious apartment in New York City with floor-to-ceiling windows.
The sultry dress featured a high slit in the middle and was longer in the back. She completed the look with silver lace-up heels and soft wavy hair.

The star also looked spectacular in an elegant black fitted dress with an attached white shawl that started around her neck and was floor-length, during a romantic date night out with her husband Justin Ervin. Justin looked dapper as he matched Ashley with a sharp tuxedo and bow-tie.
Fans loved her looks as they cheered Ashley on in the comments. One person wrote: "An angel," while a second follower added: "I gasped."
A third fan commented: "A woman. A real woman loving the skin she's in." Another commenter continued: "Oh jaw hit the floor."

Ashley is one of the industry's top models, and she vocally celebrates all sizes while advocating for self-love, however, growing up, Ashley wasn't always confident in her skin.
She revealed in an essay for TIME, admitting: "Developing my confidence in my own beauty came later — and it's something I still struggle with sometimes. There isn't one top model who doesn't live with some sort of insecurity. You could talk to any of them, and I bet they would tell you all about it."

She recalled an "aha moment" with her mom during one of those moments when she was desperate to give up on her dreams. Her mom told her: "Your body is going to change someone's life. You have to keep going."
That message was loud and clear for Ashley and she credits her mom to this day, noting she "helped me understand my purpose."

Through her journey, she developed a personal take on what beauty means to her, expressing: "It's knowing who you are, for better or worse, and loving yourself anyway. It's learning and exploring and forgiving ourselves for the ways in which we differ. It's grace."
