Seeing Spots! Ashley Graham Shows Off in Sheer Polka Dot Dress
Lampshading has been one of the hottest street style trends of the year, but Ashley Graham's take on it brings her pantsless-ness to new polka dotted extremes, layering a sheer dress over a black bodysuit and tossing in an optical illusion just for good measure.
All eyes were on Ashley Graham as she stepped out in New York City on Friday wearing a sheer polka dot dress.
The 28-year-old supermodel and America’s Next Top Model judge flaunted her curves the skintight long-sleeve number — which showed off her black bodysuit undernearth.
She accessorized the look with a sparkling necklage, drop diamond earrings and a pair of beige Christian Louboutin pumps.
Graham has had an unstoppable year. She covered the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, launched her lingerie line at Nordstrom, starred in a body positive Lane Bryant ad, fronted Dressbarn’s new size-inclusive “More Than a Name” campaign, got her own Barbie — and is now getting ready to launch the highly-anticipated ANTM reboot.
She’ll be joined the judging couch by celebrity stylist Law Roach, Paper Magazine Chief Creative Officer Drew Elliot and singer Rita Ora — who will also host the program.

It’s surely a full circle moment for the self-confident Graham, who was told early on in her career that she wouldn’t make it as a supermodel.
“I be told, ‘You’re not a cover model,’ ” Graham previously told PEOPLE. “I thought to myself, ‘I’ll just do catalog.’ And because I held onto that for so long I just stopped living that dream.”
She added: “Words were breaking me for a long time. I would call myself fat and ugly and disgusting. The moment that I realized, that’s not the kind of life that I want, my life changed. My career took off.”
As for Friday’s polka dot sheer dress, it’s not new for Graham to show off some skin.
“I personally love to show off everything that’s going off underneath,” she told PEOPLE. “It’s not an everyday look, but it’s definitely a special occasion. See-through everything, lace everything.”
The new season of ANTM premieres Dec. 12 at 10 p.m. ET on VH1.
