Tess Holliday's baby boy Bowie Juniper may only be four months old, but it looks like he has inherited his mom's modeling talent. 

The 31-year-old mom took to Instagram on Tuesday to share an adorable photo of her and her little man pursing their lips as they pose for the camera.    

'Don't mess with us #mood #bluesteel,' she captioned the image, making reference to the famous modeling post in the movie Zoolander.

While Bowie's baby blue eyes are open wide for the camera, the size 22 model is rocking Alexander McQueen sunglasses and a T-shirt that reads 'Don't let idiots ruin your day'. 

Over the weekend Tess got dressed up for a night at the Hollywood Bowl amphitheater where she saw Dolly Parton perform in concert. 

'I've waited my whole life for this moment. Slapped on some fake eyelashes & came out to see my queen, @dollyparton,' she wrote when sharing an image of herself in the audience. 

In addition to her long lashes, Tess sported winged eyeliner and pink lipstick. The mother-of-two had her auburn hair pulled back in a braided updo, which she accessorized with a flower.

After the concert, Tess posted an adorable snapshot of Bowie laughing for the camera.

'Sunday smiles from my [baby],' she captioned the image, which sees the tot wearing a pink onesie and a knit elephant hat with ears. 

Tess, who also has a 10-year-old son Rylee from a previous relationship, is clearly enamored with her little boy.  

The plus-size star shared a collage of four images of her youngest son last week in honor of the tiny tot reaching 15 weeks of age.

The photos show Bowie lying on his belly on a white pillow, looking up curiously at his mom while his face breaks into a sweet smile.

'Send help, I've died from cuteness,' Bowie's mom wrote on the post, accompanying it with a series of crying, baby and ambulance emojis. 

Baby Bowie also made an appearance on Tess' Instagram page a few days prior in another sweet photo — but this time with a serious message.

Tess is a vocal advocate for body positivity and fat acceptance, and having a little one at home may have given her some new perspective on body image.

The proud mom posted an image of Bowie's round little tummy while questioning why society doesn't value stomachs of all shapes and sizes.  

'Bowie fell asleep on me nursing & I just can't stop smiling at his cute belly,' she wrote, before adding: 'It got me thinking, when did we stop appreciating round tummies & as a society "flat" is the only way to be acceptable or "cute"?! [sic]'

She added in a few body-postiive hashtags — #allbodiesaregoodbodies and #effyourbeautystandards — for good measure. 

Several followers were quick to comment on their love of big baby bellies, including one that wrote: 'My little chunker has a belly and it is the cutest thing ever!'
