Ashley Graham stripped down to her lingerie for the May/June 2023 cover of Maxim, which debuted this week.
This is a big change for boys magazine, which has often featured young stars like Melissa Joan Hart in 1999 when she was only 22 and a size two.
One of the curvier mainstream models out there (she doesn’t like being called plus-size), Graham is far from being in her mid-20s: she’s a married 35-year-old mother of three.
Maxim seems to be changing over time as magazines become more inclusive. This isn’t her first Maxim cover, though: She held a sheet over her bare chest in 2016.
The cover girl, who partied with Khloe Kardashian this week, was spotted in a nude bra and matching high-waisted lingerie for the new issue, which showcased her famous curves to the fullest.
It’s the Hot 100 World’s Sexiest Women cover and Graham was ranked number one. “Ashley Graham is Maxim’s 2023 Hot 100 cover star! @ashleygraham,” Maxim gushed in her Instagram caption.

“Some people say find your beach, I say find your @sttropeztan ☀️ and I love my new collagen-boosting Luxe Body Serum ✨,” the Vogue model wrote, adding a hashtag for “radiant with confidence.”
Her friend and follower Jennifer Aniston hit the like button.

“Exfoliate and moisturize dry patches beforehand,” was suggested. Glide on with our mitt and use the light golden sheen to guide application to ensure no stains are missed.
Wear for 8 hours while your natural-looking tan subtly develops. No need to flush,” was also shared.
‘For a deeper tan, reapply after 24 hours. Exfoliate and moisturize regularly to prolong your shine.”

This comes after news that the 35-year-old model will be presenting new HGTV reality series Barbie’s Dreamhouse Challenge.
The four-part series, set to premiere sometime this summer, will follow eight teams of HGTV stars as they attempt to transform a California home into a real-life version of the iconic dollhouse.
Then, when all is said and done, a Barbie superfan will win a stay at the dream house.
Ashley certainly seems excited for the new appearance, as she said: “I can’t wait to see Barbie’s signature style handled in a real life size home.
“She holds such a special place in my heart, especially since Mattel created a one-of-a-kind doll of mine in 2016. It now feels like a moment to come full circle that I helped create her real-life dream home.’
The series will bring together 15 HGTV experts in addition to a Food Network chef as they renovate different areas of the home.
Additionally, each part of the property will have a specific theme, including a 1960s atomic age kitchen, a 1970s disco vibe den for Ken, and a glamorous 1980s bedroom.
As if that wasn’t enough for super fans of the doll, the show will also feature celebrity guests and “a plethora of Barbie surprises.”
Barbie’s Dreamhouse Challenge teams include Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson (Married to Real Estate); Jasmine Roth (Help! I Wrecked My House) and Antonia Lofaso (Beachside Brawl); Ty Pennington (Rock the Block) and Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab); Jonathan Knight and Kristina Crestin (Farmhouse Fixers); Christina Hall and James Bender (Christina on the Shore); Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas (Bargain Block); Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt (100 Day Dream Home); and Michel Smith Boyd and Anthony Elle Williams (Luxe for Less).
It’s going to be a huge summer for the Barbie brand as the film, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, hits theaters on July 21st.
