Ashley Graham is taking a break from her many fashion week outfits on Instagram to announce some major news: she’s starring in Lebanese designer Dima Ayad’s newest size-inclusive summer 2023 collection of evening wear.

The 2016 SI Swimsuit Issue cover model shared the news on Thursday with a collection of stunning images. In the first, Graham modeled a black-and-white patterned shirt dress. The second showed the 35-year-old rocking a sparkly glam strapless gown. Additional images Graham offered up included a chiffon green frock with gold sleeves and a bold purple-and-white patterned kaftan.

“@dimaayad has created the first fully size inclusive evening wear line for @netaporter,” Graham shared with her 20 million followers in the caption of her post.

“...it was an absolute honor to be a part of bringing this amazing campaign to life. Every woman deserves to feel beautiful, no matter their size 🤌🏼✨,” Graham later added. “Dima, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!”

Fans and celebrity friends quickly chimed in to the comments section.

“✨So Stunning ✨,” gushed 2014 SI Swimsuit model Cris Urena.

“Ashley 😭 I’m speechless. I love you,” Ayad wrote. “Thank you for all that you do. You’re my inspiration. The honor was and always is mine.”

“The dress in pic 2! I would get married in this 😍,” one follower added.

“I can’t even choose a favorite!” someone else said. “You slayed that photo shoot!! 🔥🔥🔥.”

Ayad’s new High Summer 2023 collection is available for purchase on the designer’s official website and Net-a-Porter.
