Chrissy Teigen Gains Praise for Posting Photo with Stretch Marks

Celebrities are known for hiding their flaws as much as possible, showing only their best, most beautiful photos for their fans to see.

They rarely admit to having their photos edited or to undergoing cosmetic surgery, of course, but keened-eyed fans and the paparazzi know better.

So, it was with great praise that fans welcomed the Instagram photo shared by Chrissy Teigen showing her legs with stretch marks!

Well, that’s not really a big thing among ordinary mortals who have always struggled with stretch marks yet it was fantastic coming from a celebrity! Just name other celebrities who would willingly post their flaws – and not because they wanted to gain attention but simply to celebrate their bodies and make their fans feel so much better with their own imperfections.
