Caitlyn Jenner is stepping into the fashion spotlight.

The I Am Cait star revealed on Twitter that she's joining the H&M family as the face of the brand's sportswear.


"Backstage with @hm! So proud to be part of their inspiring #HMSport campaign. #MoreIsComing #StayTuned," she wrote along with a photo in all black athletic clothes surrounded by gym equipment.

This is the second time a Jenner has partnered with H&M. Last October, Jenner's eldest daughter, Kendall, starred in the retail giant's collaboration with Balmain.


It's not too surprising that H&M is joining forces with the 66-year-old reality star, considering diversity seems to be the theme of the brand's spring collection. During its Paris Fashion Week Show, transgender models, Andreja Pejic and Hari Nef, shared the runway with Ashley Graham and veteran model Pat Cleveland.

Ireland Baldwin has stripped down to her bikini bottoms for her appearance in LOVE magazine’s 2016 advent calendar.

In the black and white clip, the 21-year-old model can be seen running onto a beach in a trench coat, while Madonna’s 1989 track Cherish plays in the background.

Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger’s daughter then rolls in the sand in her bikini before doing a little strip tease to go topless into the water.

Ireland is the fourth celebrity to feature in the calendar this year, with Bella Hadid, Irina Shayk and Rita Ora making an appearance on the first three days of December.

And Rita's cameo was just as risqué as Ireland's!

The I Will Never Let You Down Singer wears a sexy German milkmaid outfit to dance to The Andrews’ Sisters Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.

This comes after it was revealed that the songbird and style icon has replaced Tyra Banks as the new host of America’s Next Top Model.

Rita, 26, will be joined by a new panel of judges, including supermodel Ashley Graham, stylist Law Roach and Paper magazine chief creative officer Drew Elliott (the mag behind Kim Kardashian’s “Break the Internet” cover).

“The approach I wanted to have as a host and judge to the girls is what my career stands for at this moment in time, which is being a businesswoman and being able to do multiple things at the same time, whether it’s music or shooting (magazine covers) and being in movies and designing clothes,” says Rita.

Much like Topshop debuts its new Unique line at London Fashion Week, H&M unveils its Studio collection in Paris each season. And last night’s presentation was one star-studded show. 

Emma Roberts, Ciara and Kate Mara were among the guests sat FROW at the show, which celebrated strong women, diversity and “the beauty of independent minds,” the show notes read. 


And the catwalk itself was just as starry. Models such as Amber Valletta, Jourdan Dunn, Freja Beha Erichsen, Ashley Graham, Soo Joo Park and Hari Nef modelled looks that “expressed a woman’s individuality and the diversity of the female character”.

When will designer brands learn that they need to make a variation of sizes to lend to stars for red carpet events? First Bryce Dallas Howard (who’s a size 10) struggled to find an ensemble to borrow for the Golden Globes in January and now Ashley Graham’s revealed that finding a suitable frock for the Oscars 2016 was an absolute ‘mare. 

But what Graham herself was wearing spurred its own discussion. 

The model, who recently hit headlines after becoming the first size 16 star to grace the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimwear issue, was at the Academy Awards last night to co-host the pre-show on E!, commenting on what each of the red carpet arrivals were wearing. 

“Trying to find a dress for the Oscars, a girl my size — these girls this size,” she said, referring to her cleavage, “I mean it has been a whole job in itself. So I am happy tonight with my outfit.”

During an interview for E!'s Live From the Red Carpet at Sunday night's Oscars, model Ashley Graham got very real about how hard it is for a curvy woman to find the right dress for the Oscars, or any fancy event for that matter.

"Trying to find a dress for the Oscars, a girl my size, [with] these girls this size — I mean, it has been a whole job in itself," Graham told host Giuliana Rancic. 

By "a girl my size," she meant women who aren't a size 0 or two, and by "these girls these size," she meant her breasts, which were complemented quite well in her red, body-hugging Bao Tranchi dress. 

Graham's appearance on the show came just days after her figure was criticized by former model Cheryl Tiegs, who took issue with Graham's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover. That cover, by the way, made history as Graham was the first plus-size model to grace it. 

By being candid at the Oscars, Graham's voice joins the chorus of other women in Hollywood who have been vocal about the fashion challenge facing women above a size 0 or 2. Stars like Rebel Wilson and Melissa McCarthy have called out the designers and stylists who effectively ignore women of a certain size.

Ashley Graham can't seem to win.

Less than one month after she was slammed for appearing as one of the three cover stars on Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue, the 28-year-old plus-size model flaunted her figure in Lane Bryant's Spring 2016 THIS BODY campaign. Unfortunately, TV networks like NBC and ABC reportedly rejected it.

"The THIS BODY campaign was meant to be a fun way for us to celebrate and honor women of all shapes and sizes," a representative for the clothing line told People. "What is too much for some does not hold true for others. All women should be celebrated and feel empowered to express themselves as they see fit. We want her to know she can attract as much media attention, look just as striking as any woman, and decide what beautiful means to her."


In addition to Graham, the controversial commercial features similarly curvy models, some who are seen stripping down to their undergarments, while others are rocking the brand's denim. One model is seen breastfeeding her newborn.

"It is a true celebration of women of all sizes doing what makes them feel beautiful," the brand's rep continued. "Whether its breastfeeding their newborn, flaunting their bodies the way they see fit, breaking down barriers all around and simply being who they are or want to be!"

Ashley Graham wasn't about to let Cheryl Tiegs' comments keep her from rocking the Oscar red carpet.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl stunned in a revealing red dress at the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday night, just a few days after Tiegs apologized for calling the size 14-16 model "unhealthy."

"I don't like that we're talking about full-figured women because it's glamorizing them because your waist should be smaller than 35 [inches]. That's what Dr. Oz said, and I'm sticking to it," the 68-year-old former cover girl told E! News last week. "Her face is beautiful. But I don't think it's healthy in the long run."

After receiving backlash for her comments, Tiegs took to Twitter on Friday to offer "my sincere apologies to everyone I have hurt."

"I truly just want everyone to be healthy & happy," she added.

Not everyone is celebrating Sports Illustrated's decision to put plus-size model Ashley Graham on one of its three swimsuit issue covers this year.

Former model Cheryl Tiegs, who herself has graced the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue multiple times, criticized the magazine for what she sees as promoting an unhealthy lifestyle.

"I don't like that we're talking about full-figured women because it's glamorizing them because your waist should be smaller than 35 [inches]. That's what Dr. Oz said, and I'm sticking to it," Tiegs told E! News in a new interview. "No, I don't think it's healthy."

But Tiegs, 68, did compliment Graham's looks.

"Her face is beautiful. Beautiful," she commented. "But I don't think it's healthy in the long run."

When ET chatted with 28-year-old Graham earlier this month, the model could not have been happier with her gorgeous SI cover.

“I’m so incredibly excited to announce that i am on the cover of the 2016 issue of sports illustrated swimsuit issue @si_swimsuit ,honestly words can’t describe how grateful I am. I have worked my butt off and never gave up on my dream! Thank you so much for making my dreams come true tonight @mj_day I have so much love for you!”, Hailey Clauson wrote on Instagram.

“Truly speechless!!! This cover is for every woman who felt like she wasn’t beautiful enough because of her size. You can do and achieve anything you put your mind to. Thank you so much to the entire @si_swimsuit team! I’m so excited to be a part of your family. I love you all!!!,” Ashley wrote on her Instagram account.

“Such an honor to share the cover with @theashleygraham and @haileyclauson for @si_swimsuit’s issue celebrating women of all body type, ” Rousey wrote on her Instagram account.

28-year-old Ashley Graham is a plus-size lingerie model, motivational speaker and a body activist.

Swim City is Sports Illustrated’s two-day fan festival to celebrate the 2016 premiere of the iconic SI Swimsuit franchise. The festival was Feb. 15-16 in the Altman Building, and was free and open to the public.

This is Gigi Hadid's third year featuring in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue and her figure is just getting better and better.

Showing off her 'California Girl' glow in a series of skimpy bikinis, the 20-year-old model sizzles as she writhes around on a Tahiti beach for a spot in the highly coveted swim issue.

Just yesterday the issue made history by featuring size 16 Ashley Graham as their first ever plus-size model to grace the cover of the issue.

Unveiling the cover on her Instagram page, Graham, who has modeled for some of the biggest designers in the world, said it's for "every woman who felt like she wasn't beautiful enough because of her size."

"You can do and achieve anything you put your mind to," she added in the caption.

Stunning model Hailey Clauson and UFC fighter Ronda Rousey also got their own covers.

Even Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models get a slight case of the nerves.

When Yahoo Celebrity met up with Samantha Hoopes — whose blond locks, tight abs, and perfect pins are featured throughout the glossy magazine — at the Swim City event at the Altman Building in New York City on Tuesday, there were men snaked around the room, clutching their copies of the mag, waiting to meet her and other SI Swimsuit beauties. While the Doylestown, Pennsylvania, native posed in little more than bikini bottoms in the special issue, she has a slight trepidation about her outfit today. Underboob can have that type of effect on a girl.

But whether or not the 25-year-old model is showing too much skin is just one passing thought on Hoopes’s mind as we chat at the Schick Hydro booth, where male attendees got to enjoy a free shave. She’s unfiltered on all topics from her opinion of the trio of cover models (Ronda Rousey, Ashley Graham, and Hailey Clauson) to that “embarrassing” thing with NBA star Blake Griffin that has been “haunting” her for the last few months. And she weighs in on everything from skin hydration (she doesn’t hold back!) to taking a great selfie (she’s all about Snapchat).

 I was really excited because it was the first time they did three covers. The fact that there are three girls — all different shapes and sizes, who come from different places — I think it’s exciting.

"The best part is there are three different types of women [up here], representing every type of woman," said Clauson, 20.

Rousey appeared genuinely stunned, admitting that she thought she "was in the wrong spot" when she was called up as a cover girl finalist.

There will be three separate covers issued featuring solo shots of each girl.

The 2016 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has finally revealed its cover girl, and the honor has gone to not one, but three women: Ronda Rousey, Ashley Graham and Hailey Clauson.

The three finalists were all called to the front when Cannon announced that there would be three covers "for the first time ever" in the magazine's 52-year history.

The reveal came during a live one-hour show, hosted by Nick Cannon and Rebecca Romijn, following TNT's NBA All-Star Saturday Night.

Graham was equally as surprised at the win, exclaiming, "I'm shaking!"

Inside the magazine, the trio is joined by a slew of lovely ladies, including Graham's fellow SI Swim's 2016 rookies Barbara Palvin, Bojana Krsmanovic, Sofia Resing and Tanya Mitushina. 

Call Ashley Graham what you will: plus-size, curvy, full, real, smoking hot. It’s all true. But while the model is proud to demonstrate that “curvy means sexy,” she is pretty sure that it’s time we all “move beyond labels.”

“Right now is the time to do it,” Graham tells me at the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit, where the body activist spoke out about how she uses her extraordinary social platform to empower women. “We’re in that generation that wants to cut down labels. We’re making sure that women and men are being called exactly what they should be called, and that’s ‘people.’”

And yet she is no less outraged that Instagram banned “#curvy” earlier this year. “They didn’t ban #sexy,” she points out. “They didn’t ban ‘thin.’ And why? Because there’s a few extra rolls on some girls? Because there’s some cellulite? I embrace who I am. I own up to it and I own it.”  

Graham pops her shoulders back and strikes a pose: “Boom.”

Um, yes.

I am rendered momentarily speechless; Graham pipes up: “And I can flex my boobs, too,” she adds. “I’ll show you that later.”

When Kelly Osbourne interrupts our conversation at this choice moment to introduce herself to Graham, she says what we all want to say in the presence of this warm-hearted beauty: “I just couldn’t help myself.”

She and Graham have never met, and Osbourne makes no secret of her awe. “Seriously,” she says. “I had to come over. I’m like, ‘She’s standing right there!’”

Graham returns the admiration, telling Osbourne that she loves her latest collection for HSN. When Graham deems it “awesome” and “so cute,” Osbourne is ecstatic.

“Really?!” Osbourne cries, exhibiting levels of fandom previously seen only at Taylor Swift concerts. “Oh my god, we’ve got to do a picture.” An assistant captures the moment. Graham Snapchats. I have never been so happy to be interrupted. For two women who have decided to celebrate themselves and the fullest spectrum of shapes and sizes in public, this is a homecoming.  

“You just get it,” Osbourne enthuses.

Sports Illustrated has officially turned a new page, not only releasing a trio of covers for its 2016 Swimsuit Issue, but highlighting three beautiful women of varying body types.

Ashley Graham, Ronda Rousey, and Hailey Clauson each have their own individual — and completely gorgeous — cover.


“The three covers of Hailey, Ronda and Ashley celebrate the new SI Swimsuit,” the magazine’s assistant managing editor, MJ Day, said. “All three women are beautiful, sexy, and strong. Beauty is not cookie cutter. Beauty is not ‘one size fits all.’ Beauty is all around us and that became especially obvious to me while shooting and editing this year’s issue.”

MMA star Rousey’s appearance in the magazine was expected; an image from her photo shoot was leaked in January and gained quite a bit of buzz. After all, the 29-year-old was wearing nothing but body paint made to look like a one-piece swimsuit.

Clauson, 20, knows a little something about that; the high-fashion model appeared in the 2015 issue wearing a teeny red, white, and blue painted-on bikini. Day described her as “the definition of a modern bombshell.”

Graham, 28, is also featured in an ad campaign in the magazine revealed earlier this month. The plus-size model (who prefers to be called “curvy sexalicious”) is a rookie this year.

“Ashley commands your attention in her photographs,” Day explained. “She owns her sexiness in a way that every woman should. Her confidence is contagious.”

Model and body activist, Ashley Graham has become the latest rookie to grace the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Graham, the face of plus-size clothing line Lane Bryant, has donned a two-piece as part of the #SwimSexy campaign ad photos by  ‘swimsuitforall’ company. The ad also features two other UK based plus-size models – Philomena Kwao and also 56-year-old Nicola Griffin, the oldest person ever to be featured in the magazine.

28-year-old Graham started modelling at the age of 13, after she was scouted at a shopping mall in her hometown. At the age of 17, she relocated to New York, becoming a full-time model ever since. Graham once recalled how people would react with raised eyebrows when they come to know that she does modelling for a living, given her unconventional body type.  

Graham is of the opinion that there shouldn’t be an ideal standard when it comes to beauty, and she believes that it should come from inside out, not the other way around. Despite being a model, she admitted to having insecurities during her initial years.

“I felt free, once I realised that I was never going to fit the narrow mould that society wanted me to fit in. I was never going to be perfect enough for an industry that defines perfection from the outside in. And that’s ok. Rolls, curves, cellulite…all of it, I love every part of me!,” she said during one of her TED talks.

In US, size 8-16 is considered plus-size, and a lot of young women experience body confidence issues. Graham says she wants to be a voice for such people who struggle to find someone whom they can look up to.

Graham’s inclusion in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue marks a paradigm shift, and is considered a big step towards acceptance. The latest issue will hit the newsstands on February 15.
