Ashley Graham shows off her incredible figure in PVC dress as she celebrates becoming first plus-size model to land a major beauty contract
The stunning star lit up the red carpet at the Revlon Live Boldly launch after being named ambassador for the brand
ASHLEY Graham looked incredible as she dressed up her famous curves in a PVC frock last night.
The American model, 30, attended the Revlon Live Boldly launch in New York after being named ambassador for the brand.
Ashley becomes the first plus-size model to land a major beauty contract and joined fellow ambassadors Raquel Zimmerman, Gal Gadot, Adwoa Aboah and Imaan Hammam at the New York event.
Her figure-hugging dress was deep purple, Bardot style, with a plunging neckline and sexy thigh-split.
She wore her glossy brown hair in loose waves and opted for a bold, show-stopping smoky eye.
Her date for the night was her husband Justin Ervin, who went for an all-black ensemble, with the pair looking loved up as they left the party arm-in-arm.
A spokesperson for Revlon said Ashley helps "create a more inclusive definition of beauty."
And yesterday the model told Women's Wear Daily: "Historically, curvy girls are not given beauty contacts. It's kind of groundbreaking, because in my generation of models, this hasn't happened yet.
"This is one of those moments where I'm over the moon, I cried a little.
“You've been slowly seeing [curvy] models pop up in makeup campaigns, but you haven't heard of any actually signing contracts, and I think it's because [companies] just want to get their feet wet."
She added: "It's like, 'Hmmm, let's try this bold curvy thing now and see if it's real or see if it's a trend.
"The average American woman is a size 14 and if you ask me, lipstick does not have a size."
Fans were thrilled at Ashley's news, with one recently commenting on Instagram: “So inspirational! We have about the same body type, but I was called fat. But seeing you just doing you is such an inspiration and my boyfriend always called me beautiful and tells me how much he loves my thick curvy body. Thank you for helping me see I’m beautiful!”
And another added: “I just want to say thanks. Anytime I'm being really hard on myself. I look at you and feel better. Thanks for reminding me confidence is beautiful!”

“Maybe you could ignore those consumers before, but now, thanks to social media, they’re making their voices heard.
“Women are demanding that brands give them what they want. And what they want is to be visible.”
