Ashley Graham Shows Off ‘Miracle’ Tits Band in New Topless Photo

It takes a lot of support to create a glamorous look. No one knows this more than Ashley Graham.

The model, 38, was among the stars in attendance at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards on Nov. 3, and she looked more glamorous than ever in a romantic draped Kallmeyer gown. After the event, the mom of three later explained how much work it took to put on the dress.

In an Instagram post recapping her evening at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, Graham included a pre-mat photo of herself posing topless and revealing the layers of tape used to support her breasts. Further down the carousel, she featured a video of herself saying: “My dress made it, I did it and my boobs are all stuck together.”

She even touted the adhesive accessory in the comments section, where influencer Lauren Wambolt hailed the tape as a “miracle.”

Other snaps included one of Graham relaxing in a pink tracksuit in the backseat of a car, her $1,250 dress and heels piled next to her.

Graham is no stranger to the reality of what goes on behind the scenes of her high-profile fashion appearances. After storming the 2025 Met Gala in a custom BOSS dress, she had to think twice after spilling mint oil on the custom design before the event.

“I would say my only regret is not getting more braces,” she wrote in a May 22 Substack article. “The reason I even had A This pin is due to my last minute oil spill.”

“I put on my shoes and we ran downstairs (the elevator wasn’t working!) and did our best to get him out. But of course we all realized that nothing could help us, except Dawn and a dry cleaner, maybe,” she explained in the essay. “Our game-time decision: Well, I’m bragging here…it was my brilliant idea to use a Nikos Koulis diamond spectrum as a brooch.”

In previous interviews, Graham has said he is a beacon of body representation in fashion and beyond. Speaking with PEOPLE about her time as Roxie Hart in the Broadway revival Chicago in May, she spoke about wanting to inspire other plus-size women in theater with her casting.

“I just hope it opens people’s minds by putting curvy women in these roles,” she said. “Just because we have curves doesn’t mean we can’t be the leaders, that we can’t do all the dance moves and, you know, be love interests.”

Graham also spoke about participating in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which she debuted in in 2024. Before the show, she expressed her reservations in a vulnerable Instagram post.

“For years, the brand didn’t feel like it was made for someone like me. Their vision of beauty seemed narrow, like everything they created was meant for just one body type — and it wasn’t mine,” she wrote. “They were excited to have me on the show and assured me it wasn’t a one-off thing. The curvy models weren’t just a symbol: VS really wanted[ed] be part of the body diversity revolution.
