Flash the flesh in a mesh panel bodysuit like Ashley
Ashley Graham's star is steadily rising with her latest gig landing her on the pages of Elle magazine. The curvy model posed in a number of sultry pieces but none more sexy than this Bao Tranchi bodysuit.
The celeb favored brand has dressed the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj and Gigi Hadid in their flesh baring looks and we've even spotted Ashley in a dress by the label at the Vanity Fair Oscar party earlier this year.
Her long sleeve mesh panel one-piece was topped by a Vivienne Westwood coat and a reptilian belt by Lovesick, but we'd just as soon wear it with a pencil skirt and pumps on our next evening out.
