Katie Holmes Praised for Posting Her Unedited Stretch Marks in a Bra and Blazer

From Cosmopolitan

• Katie Holmes posted a picture of herself with unedited stretch marks from behind the scenes of a Vogue Australia shoot.

• Fans are praising Katie for not editing her stretch marks out, and instead embracing them.

We can all agree that Instagram comments are usually a pretty dark place filled with shade, trolling, and the occasional NSFW comment from a robot. Good times! But occasionally the comments section is a pure joy, like in the cast of Katie Holmes' recent photo.

The actress posted a picture of herself wearing a bra and blazer a few days back, which is a behind-the-scenes snap from her shoot with Vogue Australia. And in the second photo (gotta swipe right), you can see a few stretch marks on her stomach. Considering we live in a culture where FaceTuning out the slightest wrinkle is the norm, this is a fully 👏 👏 👏 moment and commenters are praising Katie for embracing her "natural body."

One commenter wrote "Love how beautiful and natural you are with your body. You aren’t afraid to show your body exactly how it is," while another said "So bold!! I love that you’re slightly showing the pregnancy warrior marks. You go girl!!!!" Other commenters thanked Katie for "being real," and one said "love you lioness stripes @katieholmes212 😚❤️ true beauty of a mother💋"

FYI, Katie isn't the first celebrity to show off her stretch marks—Chrissy Teigen posted the marks on her leg with the iconic caption "whatevs" (love her):

And Kourtney Kardashian recently posted a photo of her stretch marks on Instagram.
