ASHLEY Graham has gone without pants in newly released photos from an ad campaign shot in rainy New York City.

Ashely, 38, was pictured sitting with her legs slung over the arm of a plush upholstered chair covered in a floral print.

She posed without pants on, instead opting for tiny black bottoms that barely covered her bum.

She completed the look with a black top and white collared shirt underneath.

Ashley’s long, dark hair blew in the wind, at times appearing messy.

She also had on white strappy heels, and appeared to be reading while giving sultry looks to the camera.

Another photo showed her leaning her body on the arm of the chair with her legs crossed at the ankles and a stack of books sitting nearby.

Ashley shared several videos from the shoot, one of which showed her walking in a crosswalk with someone holding an umbrella for her.

Another showed the same man holding an umbrella while she posed for pics in the chair.

Ashley opened up about the campaign in a length caption.

She took a moment to recognize all the people that contributed to getting the shot, and more.

“There are a lot of hands behind a day like this with @stuartweitzman,” she began.

“Stylists drying raindrops off my shoes. PA’s juggling umbrellas and call times. Heaters just out of frame so I’m not freezing.

“Shooting in New York in the rain for the Spring ’26 collection may look effortless in the final images – but it never is.

“Shoots don’t just happen. They’re built. And there’s more to it than the pictures.”

Ashley went on: “Being a curvy woman in luxury spaces still feels layered. Fashion shifts quickly. Bodies like mine can be celebrated one minute and pushed aside the next.

“So being here – visible, styled, unapologetic – matters.

“It’s never just about the shoe or the shade. It’s about who gets to take up space.

“Thank you @stuartweitzman for making space.”

Keeping it real

Ashley has always been all about keeping it real as a plus sized model.

She does her best to stay away from retouching, and show off as much of her real body as she can.

In 2024, she was praised for sharing photos showing her cellulite in a tiny mini dress while in Paris.

At the time, she encouraged fans to embrace their bodies – flaws and all.

Ashley posted several photos from a trip to Paris with her loved ones.

In some of the photos, she had on a velvet cross-neck mini-dress with emerald green accents.

The dress was completely backless and stopped at her upper thighs.

She completed the look with black heels and a pair of earrings, wearing her hair in a slick braid.

Fans praised her in the comments for not retouching her cellulite, which was visible in some of the pics.

“Thank you that you show the real woman in real life, mum wife and a working woman. Inspiration for all of us,” one person praised.

“Thank you for being natural and not doing Photoshop we love natural,” a second fan penned.

“So refreshing seeing one celebrity not on the Ozempic bandwagon..looking fly ma’am,” a third wrote.

“Amazing and inspiring as always! I so appreciate the way own your authentic self and love your body by both working it out and eating for pleasure too! Such a great example of balance and joy,” another said.

“Oh Ashley!! Seeing you on the cover of Sports Illustrated totally changed my view of myself and my body,” someone else wrote.

They continued: “Thank you for helping a young insecure girl come around. I appreciate how you embrace your cellulite in these photos. You continue to help women feel comfortable in their skin. Thank you gorgeous.”
