Sophie Hughes (@sophwithlove) shared photos of her sporting Victoria's Secret lingerie in an Instagram post.
The medium-sized model tied her pink hair back and wore a blue slip dress with purple lace and a similar green one with white detailing.
She sat on the kitchen counter beaming brightly as she lay comfortably in a pink polka dot swimsuit that didn't hide her stomach and thighs.
“In my gentle girlhood,” Sophie wrote.
“I wish I could go back and show 15-year-old Soph these photos, I wish I could show her how far we've come, shooting for Victoria's Secret UK feeling more confident than ever before a size 46 body.
“It would bring her so much peace.”
Instead, Sophie was more than happy to share her journey to body acceptance with other women who might need to hear the message.
“Instead, I'll show you. Because I can't help her heal, but I can help you,” she said.
“I can show you that all bodies deserve to take up space, that belly rolls, scars, cellulite, it's all so normal.
“It's all so beautiful, and you don't have to keep yourself small.”
Her followers thanked her for being genuine and beautiful inside and out.
“Amazing. I'm so grateful to live in a more inclusive world. We still have a long way to go, but we've come so far!” said one commenter.
“You are so freaking beautiful,” said another.
