Chrissy Teigen: Nude on Instagram, Stretch Marks and All!
Chrissy Teigen is beautiful both inside and out – but often more times than not, it’s the outside that we’re checking into.
Teigen shared a nude snap featuring her husband, John Legend, and her body was absolutely inspired.
In the photo, you can see the stretch marks that she’s so proud of – girl, we’re proud of them too; have you seen your child lately? – as well as normal, natural skin texture variances.
She simply shared the pic to wish a friend a happy birthday, which seems a little excessive just for a birthday …
But don’t get us wrong: there’s zero complaining happening this morning.
Chrissy is simply flawless in her human flaws.
We adore this girl more than we can say, except for the part, perhaps, where she so vehemently supports Kim Kardashian’s every move.
In a recent interview, Teigen spoke out about Kim’s robbery – a contentious topic to be sure, but not even Kim deserves what she went through.
Teigen, in a sit-down with Us magazine, said that her “heart sank” after she heard about friend Kim’s ordeal.
“I was really scared,” she admitted.
“I knew something was really wrong when that video of [Kanye West] running of stage [at the Meadows Music & Arts Festival] came about.”
“He’s not the type to do that,” she continued.
“I remember my heart sank, and to hear the full story, it was really scary.”
“It could have happened to anybody,” she reflected.
“Hearing the details and knowing she has babies at home, and that she’s so sweet, open, and honest, you don’t think this kind of thing could happen.”
“[Kim and I] both live our lives like an open book,” she said about her friend.
“That’s why fans love her.”
“They love seeing the ins and outs of her life, their home, their relationship,” she continued.
“We share all of that and don’t think that someone dangerous could see that and do something violent with that information.”
“I share the inside of my home everyday,” she revealed.
“So many parts of our life we share.”
“But [Kim is] okay. Kim is okay, and it could have been so much more horrific, so we’re happy that she’s okay.”
We are too, if we’re completely honest.
Come on, now.

Chrissy Teigen: Look at My Stretch Marks!
Chrissy Teigen is good friends with Kim Kardashian.
The model recently sent the reality star flowers after Kim’s phone died.
Why do we bring this up? What point are we trying to make?
Only that Teigen may be pals with Kardashian, but she has a very different philosophy on weight loss than Kardashian.
For several months now, Kardashian has talked about nearly nothing except how she needs to drop 70 pounds.
She is desperate to return to her pre-baby weight, which is totally fine as a personal goal. But which sets a pretty terrible example for other new mothers out there.
Fortunately, Teigen is here to balance things out.
Chrissy and husband John Legend welcomed a baby girl named Luna into the world in April.
Since then, Teigen has been as open as one can be about every aspect of motherhood, including what it does to one’s body.
Back in the spring, for example, she shared a photo of her bruised thighs with visible stretch marks.
What was she thinking while doing so?
“I was actually just taking a picture of the bruises and then I saw the stretch marks in there,” she told Meredith Vieira at the time.
“I have those apps, the Facetune and Photoshopping ones, and I just didn’t feel like doing it anymore – and I’m never doing it again, because I think we forgot what normal people look like now.”
Yes, normal people. Normal people get stretch marks from giving birth.
Now, in a fresh attempt to keep it real, the 30-year-old model has taken to Snapchat to post an up-close and VERY personal look at her stretch marks, four months after becoming a first-time mother.
“lol my thighs have tributaries,” Teigen joked of the marks, including with this image a crying emoji.
This isn’t the first time Teigen has been brutally honest about life as a mother.
She once said that she feels like a cow for breastfeeding.
Is she in the same sort of mad rush to lose weight as her friend Kim Kardashian? Nope. Not at all
“You just realize you have to give yourself time and understand that you push out a baby, and it took this long to put on the weight, and it’s not going to peel right off, and that’s OK,” she told E! News in July.
“Enjoy your baby. Don’t go crazy.”
That’s terrific advice.
We’d like to see her offer it to Kim.

Leah Messer Shows Off Stretch Marks, Fans Are Surprisingly Supportive
Leah Messer let fans know she removed her belly button ring, but the stretch marks in the photo were all anyone would talk about.
“I took my belly button ring out! Looks so much better! #loveit #BeYou #BeNatural #NoFilter,” Messer wrote three days ago, prompting the most positive remarks about a Teen Mom 2 star anyone has seen in awhile.
“Wish I looked that good. Stretch marks are a dorm of strength and beauty. Love them abs. Good job,” one fan wrote.
“Can’t believe u had twins u look fantastic wear those tiger strips with pride mama,” another wrote.
Messer has only recently found her voice, after being slammed with offensive comments after one bikini pic.
The backlash prompted Messer to issue a statement to Refinery29 on body image, an unprecedented move for the reality star and mom-of-three.
First and foremost, there is much more to women than our bodies. Yet many women seem to continually judge others, not by their character, but by their bodies
There are many more important issues going on in the world today than whether or not I had enough to eat for breakfast. (Side note: I had plenty.)
We should be focused on spreading love and kindness instead of mean-spirited bullying. Thankfully I am in a beautiful place in my life raising three wonderful, kind, loving and confident little girls.
Filming for the new season of Teen Mom 2 is already underway, and Messer has been posting inspirational quotes and photos to let fans know she’s in a fantastic place.
“Know yourself, love yourself and never lower your standards. Recognize what you don’t want but focus upon what feels good,” Messer wrote yesterday.
“This is the power of aligning your energy to attract all that you want. Stop spending countless hours thinking about what’s wrong and start conditioning your mind to appreciate what is good. Embrace growth and change.”
Messer went to rehab in 2015 for anxiety and depression, and finalized her divorce from second husband Jeremy Calvert last September.
“Don’t take anything personally. Let go and stop trying to fix what isn’t yours to fix,” Messer continued. “Attend to your own life with fierce intention and know that YOU are absolutely enough.”
We’re proud of the Messer for the strides she’s made in living her best life.

Kendra Wilkinson on Instagram: Look at My Stretch Marks!
Kendra Wilkinson is famous for having shown off her body on many occasions inside the pages of Playboy.
But never like this before.
In honor of Mother’s Day, the former Playmate took to Instagram on Sunday and wrote a pair of sweet messages to her children.
Prior to doing so, however, she gave followers and up close and very personal view of how these kids affected her once-tight stomach.
Yes, Kendra took a break from slamming Holly Madison to show off her stretch marks.
“Look what my 2 babies did … They made me happy,” Kendra captioned this photo of herself shot from the bottom up, revealing some pretty major stretch marks on her tummy.
She concluded this post with the simple hashtag #happymothersday.
Wilkinson, 30, shares two children with husband Hank Baskett: Hank Baskett IV, 6; and Aljiah Mary Baskett, 1.
We often make fun of Kendra, due to her and husband Baskett milking the latter’s alleged/quasi affair for every ratings point possible (and also for this new music video), but Wilkinson must be given props here.
How many famous mothers out there have been so open about their stretch marks?
Seriously, can you name any?!?
Along with the revealing photo, Kendra wrote a pair of sweet messages to her kids.
With Lil Hank I was soooo attached to him. I didn’t want anyone near him. He was all mine. To the point of being crazy and territorial. I still feel that way now. We have this mother/son bond that’s so strong.
I can’t go one night without praying and cuddling with him. I am cherishing every moment with him.
And what about her latest child?
With Alijah, we are homies… I kinda let her do her thang. She is who she is already pretty much.
Our favorite thing we like to do together besides nails, watching sports and eating cheese is to play “spider mama” where I become “mama long legs”. She has my gene n I’ll definitely have to work with that n not fight it cuz she’s my mini me n we don’t like rules.
We are choosing not to be cynical or negative in honor of this special holiday.
So happy Mother’s Day to Kendra and to all other parents out there!

Robyn Lawley: Check Out My "Badass" Stretch Marks!
Earlier this year, Robyn Lawley became the first plus-size model to pose for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
The spread put the 25-year old beauty in the spotlight for the first time… and she quickly learned how galling that glare can sometimes be.
Late last week, Lawley shared a photo and message on Instagram in response to a UK gossip column that claimed she had considered an “abortion to avoid stretch marks.”
Beyond appalled at this assertion, Robyn went topless on social media not to bare her breasts; but to bare the results of her pregnancy.
“I earned my stretch marks,” she wrote as a caption.
“They are some badass #tigerstripes. F–k them, who cares, be you, be loud, be proud. And to anyone who feels bad about your body especially after a baby, you are a warrior, you created a little life inside of you, that’s no easy feat.”
Lawley is the latest proud mother to go viral as a result of flaunting her post-pregnancy stomach.
She has walked in New York Fashion Week and appeared in Vogue Italia. She and partner Everest Schmidt are the parents of a girl named Ripley.
And it’s pretty clear Ripley has an awesome role model for a mother, isn’t it?
