Chrissy Teigen certainly isn’t concerned about projecting a perfect image. In fact, she’s one of the realest celebrity moms there is. Teigen has been consistently outspoken about the trials and tribulations of motherhood, from the struggles of getting pregnant, the pregnancy itself, childbirth, and finally, raising her daughter, Luna Simone.
Recently, Teigen shared a photo of her stretch marks in Snapchat, reminding all of us mere mortals that yes, stretch marks are totally normal. Even top models have them!
The photo showed a close-up of Teigen’s thigh, captioned “lol my thighs have tributaries,” emphasizing the point with a crying emoji. By sharing a photo of this physical “flaw,” Teigen has made herself vulnerable and relatable to the entire world. This realness is exactly why Teigen is one of our favorite personalities to follow on social media.

“Stretchies say hi!”
This isn’t the first time Teigen has shared a photo of her stretch marks. An earlier pre-pregnancy post on Instagram showed her sitting cross-legged, her thighs bruised, her stretch marks pronounced. “Stretchies say hi!” she playfully captioned her post.

On The Meredith Viera show, Teigen talked about the photo, and how she has stopped using apps that hide her flaws: “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.”
