When Graham wears colour she makes a statement with it. A pop of sunny yellow on a winter's day with matching yellow stilettos has her standing out from the crowd in all the right ways. The dress highlights all her best assets while a classic beige coat elevates the look. Seen here on her way to attend Variety Magazine’s Power of Women Event.

She loves a sheer look! Showing off her curves doesn't stop with figure hugging style. So many of her looks involve sheer dresses or tops paired with curve lingerie. As a lingerie model and designer it’s no surprise she loves these statement looks that show she’s proud and has no reason to hide. Seen here attending the Savage Fenty X show at NYFW with Lime Green accessories.

Becoming a new mum didn’t seem to break her stride. We saw some of the most daring and sexy pregnancy looks over the last year including this show stopper when she attended NYFW. It wasn’t just good for pregnancy style, it was an absolute knockout full stop. The red latex showed off her baby bump in all its glory, but the bra style top and hip hugging skirt paired with her staple barely there strappy stiletto meant women the world over took inspiration from this look and it made fashion headlines.

Ashley doesn’t just wear dresses! Seen here at the Billboard’s Women in Music event in NYC wearing high waisted flared black pants with the shape mirrored in her sheer leopard print sleeves. Also proving that curvy girls absolutely can wear a crop top.

Even on her way to the gym Ashley Graham ebodies her own sense of style. Highlighting her waist with a cinched wind breaker and rocking the Alala High Gloss Finish Mirage Leggings. Even her active wear is a high end fashion piece. She recently told Instyle “they have clothes you don’t mind wearing around after they gym”. Throw a Dior bag into the mix and there’s your elevated style even on gym days.
