Ashley Graham Gets Real About CFDA Glam: “My Boobies Are All Taped Up!”
NEW YORK, NY – Model Ashley Graham gave fans a peek behind the curtain of red-carpet glamour following her appearance at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards. The 38-year-old stunned in a romantic Kallmeyer gown, but her Instagram post revealed the surprising amount of support needed to achieve the look.
Graham shared a topless photo showing layers of boob tape used to lift and secure her breasts. In a video, she exclaimed, “My dress made it, I made it, and my boobies are all taped up!” She later championed the adhesive in the comments section.
The post also included a photo of Graham relaxing in a pink sweatsuit with her designer dress and heels discarded beside her, underscoring the effort involved in such high-profile appearances.
This isn’t the first time Graham has been candid about her fashion experiences. Following the 2025 Met Gala, she revealed how she cleverly used a diamond brooch to cover an accidental mint oil stain on her custom BOSS gown.
Graham has long been a vocal advocate for body representation in fashion. In a recent interview about her role in Broadway’s “Chicago,” she expressed her hope that her casting would inspire more opportunities for plus-size women in theater. She also spoke candidly about her initial reservations before appearing in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, praising the brand’s newfound commitment to body diversity.
