Ashley Graham isn't simply a model. Although the beginning of her career was marked by her undeniable self-love in an industry that gravitates toward thin, lean women, she has evolved. Her larger-than-life persona paired with a curvy body and strong demeanor makes her someone to watch. When you look at her Sports Illustrated cover, it may be hard not to think, "Wow, I want to be that confident," no matter your size. It seems like the world has been waiting for someone to be vocal about body acceptance, and Ashley proudly filled that need. Now, she's a judge on America's Next Top Model. She's the author of A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty and Power Really Look Like,...

Ashley Graham seriously brought the heat during her recent Lip Sync Battle against Jermaine Fowler. While the actor took on Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" during Wednesday night's episode, the supermodel and America's Next Top Model judge gave a sexy rendition of Shania Twain's "That Don't Impress Me Much" that would definitely impress the country superstar herself. Aside from flaunting her figure in a leopard two-piece - reminiscent of the one Shania wears in her iconic music video - Ashley wasn't afraid to work the crowd by crawling on the floor. Grab a fan and a tall glass of water and watch the steamy video above.

Ashley Graham got incredibly candid with Glamour magazine for her July cover story. Aside from spreading body positivity, the supermodel and America's Next Top Model judge also opened up for the first time about being sexually harassed on set when she was 17. "There was a photo assistant who was into me," she explained. "He was like, 'Hey, come here,' and he led me into a closet. And I was like, 'What?' I thought he was going to show me something. And he pulled me in, and he pulled his penis out. And he was like, 'Grab it.' And I was like, 'No! That's disgusting.' I freaked out. And thank God I was closer to the door, and I just bolted out." Following the incident, Ashley vowed to never let anyone manipulate what she would do on set, adding that any images she produces are ones she wanted to take.

Ashley Graham wants everyone to embrace the skin they're in. The model and America's Next Top Model judge shared a candid, body positive message on Instagram Wednesday night, reminding her three million followers that beauty isn't limited to a size zero. In the snapshot, Ashley, who's seemingly vacationing in the Philippines at the moment, wears an animal print bikini while soaking up the sun on a lounge chair. Graham captioned the shot, "I workout. I do my best to eat well. I love the skin I'm in." She added, "And I'm not ashamed of a few lumps, bumps or cellulite.. and you shouldn't be either. #beautybeyondsize...

[[tmz:video id="0_3lq8xhc6"]] Ashley Graham loved watching the Victoria's Secret Angels do their thing in Paris, but she says she'd love joining them on the runway even more ... and expects to soon. We got Ashley in Studio City, where she's promoting the current season of "America's Next Top Model" -- she's a judge -- and she said plus-size models deserve a spot in the Vs lineup -- especially since they're coming up big everywhere else.

Think 2016 was a dumpster fire of awfulness? Imagine how terrible it could have been if we didn't have Beyoncé. All things considered, it wasn't too shabby a year for Miss Carter, as she is closing it out with nine Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year for Lemonade. As for the rest of her best moments, it's nearly impossible to wean down every single thing she did, but here are 17 of her biggest, best, most Beyoncé moments of the past 365 days, give or take.

Ashley Graham hit the beach for a photo shoot in Mexico on Friday. The model stunned in a printed bikini as she struck sexy poses for the camera while walking on the sand and splashing in the waves. Ashley shared a shot via Instagram that same day, writing, "Straight from the screen.. thank you to my @swimsuitsforall crew for another awesome trip! #beautybeyondsize." Ashley has been running hard this year with multiple magazine covers and a judging stint on the new season of America's Next Top Model, but has made time for some fun and family time as well. Earlier this month, she celebrated her birthday on a boat with girlfriends in Cancun, and just last week she made a statement in skintight leather pants at her sister's wedding in Colorado.

Ashley Graham steamed up the beach in Cancun, Mexico, this week. The Sports Illustrated cover girl and America's Next Top Model panelist showed off her curves in a black bikini while celebrating her 29th birthday with friends at the Breathless Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa; Ashley also posed poolside, relaxed on a lounge chair, and spent some time on a yacht with her group of girlfriends. It's been a busy year for the stunner, who has not only landed magazine covers and ad campaigns, but is also proving to be a worthy role model for body positivity and self-love. Ashley has spoken out a number of times about claiming confidence in her shape and why she refrains from calling herself a "plus-size model," saying, "Just because I'm not calling myself plus-size doesn't mean I'm not representing a woman who is. I'm giving curvy women a seat at a table that we've...

Ashley Graham turned up the Summer heat ever so slightly during her casual outing in NYC on Thursday. The model, who is currently on the judging panel of America's Next Top Model, turned the sidewalk into her own personal runway when she arrived at Chelsea Piers to film the hit TV show. Dressed in a blue jumpsuit with a plunging neckline, Ashley flaunted her signature curves for the cameras, looking super fierce in the process. This isn't the first time the 28-year-old has made our jaws drop with her stunning confidence. In February, she rocked the cover of this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and she also recently appeared in Dnce's "Toothbrush" music video as Joe Jonas's love interest. But if you think her recent outing is flawless, just wait until you see her steamy Instagram snaps.

Sin City didn't quite live up to it's name thanks to Devin on the most recent episode of America's Next Top Model. Mikey was determined to engage in a threeway with Mame and Hadassah, but Devin cockblocked his "friend" just as it looked like Mikey might seal the deal. Devin accused Mikey of distracting Ashley, causing her to be sent home. Mikey's snipe-y exchange with Devin took the wind out of his sail, so to speak.
What was more shocking than Lacey landing in the bottom two was Hadassah entertaining the idea of hooking up with human-cesspool, Mikey. Hadassah took the judges advice to loosen up to heart. It's too bad she applied it to her sex life and not her modeling.

While makeovers remain one of the most anticipated moments on America's Next Top Model, the acting challenges are always the most cringeworthy 15 minutes of every single season. And Omg! After surviving those painful auditions for CW execs, we had to watch the cheesy commercials for Boom Boom Boom deodorant. "Smell my fierce," "Feel my boom." Ick. Whoever wrote that drivel has watched way too many pretentious perfume and cologne commercials.
I was genuinely shocked when Ashley was eliminated. She definitely performed better than Devin, who has all the subtlety of a drag queen holding court on top of a gay pride float. And then there's Courtney, who demonstrated as much sex appeal on that beach as a dead jellyfish. With Ashley out of the running, who will Mikey mac on next, and who will be the next to go?...

"The Guy Who Acts a Fool" is upon us and I think we all know who that fool is: Devin. The models are challenged to perform instead of simply posing in front of some influential CW executives during the challenge, and later in the making of an outrageous commercial. All around, this episode of America's Next Top Model is somewhat awkward in regard to modeling, but some competitors are us for the challenge.
With six challenges and seven major photo shoots under their belts, the competition is heating up for the remaining ten models: Witchy Bello, Whiney Courtney, Goofy Devin, Stunning Hadassah, Unemotional Justin, Beautiful Lacey, Exquisite Mame, Sleepy Ashley, Flirty Mikey, and Hot Nyle. Going forward, the nine who survive this episode will have to step up their games to keep from being in the bottom third and potentially being sent home to mommy. ...

We said goodbye to Ashley on last week's episode of America's Next Top Model, but which contestant would be packing their bags this time around? There's tension right from the beginning of this episode - Alisha jokes that she's fed up that the American girls are always winning and quips that she won't speak until she wins first call out! But the real problems come while the models play around with Laura's teddy bear... which has sentimental value for her as it was given to her by her late friend. When an ear gets torn off and thrown in the pool, Laura's horrified (though Sophie seems to suggest that none of the women knew what the bear meant to her.) And when Kyle seems to push the ear further into the pool, she gets even angrier: "As far as I'm concerned she's dead to me." Kyle seems to...

America's Next Top Model: British Invasion: Top 9 Power Rankings
Believe it or not, we're already down five girls in the search for America's Next Top Model-slash-Actress-slash-Reality-Footnote. It's been a weird cycle thus far, in that it's an improvement over cycle 17 yet there's still a lot of head scratching decisions being made, both on and off the catwalk. However, the farther we head into Tyra's Black Hole of Fierceness, the more we're seeing that there may be some models with actual potential vying for the title, as opposed to the regular girl realness that was being served at the cycle's beginning. Now that we've had a week with no new episode, it's time to fix your weave, smize with all you've got, and try to figure out who in the world could become the 18th winner of this mess.

It was time to say goodbye to another of the British contestants on this week's America's Next Top Model - Scot Ashley Brown was the one to pack her bags after failing to book any shows at Toronto Fashion Week. Digital Spy spoke with Ashley after her exit to find out about those castings, getting syrup in her eye and why she thinks it was the right time for her to leave the competition: Can you talk through how you were feeling after your elimination?
"I was pretty gutted obviously about getting eliminated, but to be fair I didn't actually think I would get as far as I did. So I was pretty chuffed, the fact that I did get as far as I did, and I appreciated the fact that they even let me go on the show and represent Britain. It was the first ever time they've had the Brits come over,...

"I probably shouldn't have kept my eyes open."
This was Ashley Brown's takeaway from having maple syrup poured down her body. The 22 year old Scotland native has maple syrup to blame, in part, for her elimination from America's Next Top Model: British Invasion. Having the syrup poured on her scantily clad body while trying to retain her poise and take direction from her photographer proved too much for Brown, whose elimination trimmed the Top Model field down to nine.
BuddyTV went one-on-one with the beautiful Scot to find out the full story behind that shoot, if she thought she was judged fairly, and whether or not she's too "hippy" to be a success as a model.

America's Next Top Model 18.05 "Beverly Johnson" Review
One of the main complaints that people (including yours truly) have had about Top Model is that it can feel a little insular. Instead of exposing the girls in each cycle to the realities of the fashion business through actual casting/jobs, realistic photoshoots, and lessons in handling your coins, it can focus too much on being capital-r Reality TV. There are many (legitimate) reasons that no true top model has emerged from the Top Model dungeon, but one of the primary examples of this lies with how little the girls know about what they're getting themselves into upon leaving the show. To be able to beat the fashion machine that has spit many a girl out like juice from a mouthful of chewing tobacco, you have to understand the machine and dressing like Michael Jackson or freely eating a hot dog aren't ways to do it.

America's Next Top Model 18.04 "J. Alexander" Review
In recent cycles of Top Model, the role of runway diva coach extraordinaire (and total friend in my head) Miss J. Alexander has been greatly reduced. I don't know if it's his busy schedule or any internal strife in Modelland, but the show tends to only pull him out for a challenge or two per cycle, with the last couple not even relating to runway. J. always brought a sense of fun and excitement to the show, damn near glistening with personality, and the technical know-how he has about the catwalk has been sorely missed, replaced by...well, Top Model doesn't really do runway anymore.
I mean, aside from their increasingly ridiculous final runways, of course.
Which is why his presence on tonight's Top Model was both fabulous and a little disappointing. Having J. back livened up the challenge, but if you're going to bring Miss J.

On the latest "America's Next Top Model," Tyra busts out Super Smize again, while the girls are given an awesome ad campaign challenge.
Tyra drops by the house to make the girls walk out by the pool, then have an impromptu jam session, or something. And she's wearing reflective crossing guard tape and her Super Smize and it's really, really dumb.
Tyra then assigns the girls superhero names: Illuminata, Gam-a-Tronica, Chameeleone, Era-descent, Charismia, Excite-to-Buy, Andro-Genia, Zagalicious, Fiercely Real, Next-Doorsia, Exotica and 30-Never. Some are obviously better than others.
Challenge
They have to create an ad campaign for Very.com, an online British retailer. The theme is love and luxury and it's U.S. vs. U.K. They are actually doing it all (make-up/hair, wardrobe, props, casting a male model). It's a pretty cool challenge, actually.
The UK girls go '60s mod, while the Us team does Punk Love with Azmarie as the leader.

America's Next Top Model 18.03 "Cat Deeley" Review
Well, that was awkward.
And awesome.
Admittedly, I had kind of lost hope in this cycle of Top Model after an uneventful, nonsensical episode last week. The Americans were hideously boring, the shoot failed to be as artsy as it tried to be, and the show was focusing too much on the rivalry aspect vs., y'know, finding a competent model and whatnot. Once a cycle of Top Model nosedives like that, it very rarely fully recovers, with Tyra and company content to go own the rabbit hole of awful, self-serving reality TV and never look back. But I'll be damned if they didn't get it together already.
How about a relevant Top Model challenge? In 2012? Be still my heart. This week, Team Brit and Team Amurrica had to design their own ad campaigns for very.com and were in charge of every aspect: casting,...
