Summer is right around the corner, and Chrissy Teigen is inadvertently encouraging women to embrace their “mom body!” The Cravings author shared unedited swimsuit photos with her 9-month-old baby Wren, and it’s a refreshing look at what real bodies actually look like.
Teigen is currently in Thailand with her husband John Legend and their kids Wren, Esti, 14 months, Miles, 5, and Luna, 7. “My homeland is magic 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭 winding down dump,” she captioned a series of photos on Instagram Thursday, which included several shots of her and her family hanging out in a boat on the water. It also had a kayaking video with Luna and Miles, a clip of Esti and Luna dancing together, a picture of Esti all wet from the pool, and a photo of Wren passed out asleep still in his swim trunks. His squishy cheeks are everything!

But despite these cute family moments, most people were focused on the pictures of Teigen herself. In the first photo, Teigen wears a black bikini with a bandeau top with pretty tassels. She is makeup-free in the shot, holding onto the side of the boat with one hand and gripping Wren on her hip with the other. She stares at the camera looking gorgeous, with her natural (and still totally beautiful!) stomach on full display.
In another photo, she lifts Wren up in the air to smile at him Lion King-style, revealing her butt in her cheeky bottoms. She is real and beautiful, and fans are loving it.
“I feel like this picture is unedited (you look beautiful), but also …t hank you!” one person commented. “Typing as I just finished a midnight grilled cheese whilst booking an orangetheory class tmrw.”
“THANK YOU for posting an honest real pic of a normal mom body. You look amazing!” another wrote. “So many of us moms are too self conscious about our postpartum bodies and worry how it looks but looking at you I understand it looks beautiful! ❤️”
Someone else said, “Every woman looking at this photo of one absolutely stunning mother is thinking THANK YOU!!!! 🙏” “Your unedited photo is gorgeous. You don’t even know how it helps people of all ages!” another person commented.
“I wish more people were as real as you!” someone else praised. “In a world full of fake and filters, I love seeing just how beautiful someone so natural as you are! You embrace real and raw and it’s refreshing and honest! Thank you for sharing your life, your beauty and how incredible you are as a mother, a wife, a daughter and a friend is so nice to see and I truly admire you.”

We agree with it all. It’s so refreshing to see celebrity moms setting an example of enjoying their lives without editing their photos and showing off their beautiful, real postpartum bodies.
This isn’t the first time Teigen has shown off her body on Instagram. In April 2023, the Chrissy & Dave Dine Out star posted an intimate photo naked in the tub with baby Esti. “A boob that somehow hangs all along my side and deep purple lifetime scars,” Teigen wrote in the caption. “But you are too perfect to worry about any of it !”
The comments were mostly positive on that post as well, including this mom who said, “Thank you for this picture! Second time mama with a 3 month old and I feel like I don’t recognize this body. Bounce back culture is causing me to have a lot of self disapproval and to see a celeb with all the resources in the world show such a real pic makes me feel like I’m right where I need to be ♥️.”
Without even trying, Teigen is paving the way for moms to feel more comfortable in their bodies, and we couldn’t love it more.
