Supermodel Ashley Graham sure knows how to stun in a quirky “Get Ready With Me” video. The 2016 SI Swimsuit Issue cover star stunned in her latest video and showed off her curves as she began the clip in a strapless bra and high-waisted underwear set. 

The Nebraska native nailed her transition as she covered her camera for a split second and lifted her hand to reveal her outfit: a figure-hugging see-through mesh leopard gown from Nina Ricci by Harris Reed

“Was in Lisbon and made this 👋🏽 #portugal,” the 36-year-old captioned the video she shared with her 1.8 million followers.

Graham filmed the TikTok while in Portugal for the GQ Moty Awards 2023, where she was honored as the International Female Model of the Year. Makeup artist Sara Fonseca opted for a gorgeous full glam look, including a bold eyeliner wing, glittery gold eyeshadow, a bronzed glass skin base, rosy cheeks, feathered brows and a bright mauve lip.

The mom of three, who shares her sons Isaac, Roman and Malachi with husband Justin Ervin, accessorized with funky gold hoop earrings and a stack of gold rings. She danced around to “London Bridge” by Fergie, which was attached to the clip as audio, and played with the gown’s floor-length black ribbon straps.

“Being in this industry for the last 23 years has been an honor. It’s reassuring to know that, even after these two decades, my story, images, and experiences continue to make a global impact. While obstacles persist in the industry, they no longer carry the same weight as they did when I entered this space. It’s essential for us to recognize and celebrate the progress we’ve made,” Graham captioned a heartfelt Instagram post featuring photos of her look and a clip of her acceptance speech. “I don’t claim to have achieved this alone; it required the support of editors, designers, agents, creative directors, stylists, photographers, and casting directors who believed in the unconventional and unexpected, not only in me but also in many others who have paved the way. As my agent, @meansss, once told me, ‘Agents will always be there to open the door, but it’s up to you to be invited back.’ This award is not taken lightly. Thank you, @gqportugal, for this incredible honor of International Female Model of the Year.”

Graham was styled by her go-to fashion guru Emily Evans, who wrote “HUGE LOVE & CONGRATULATIONS to @ashleygraham so deserved for such an inspiring, kind & hard working ICON,” on her own post of the fabulous outfit.
