We can all agree that Instagram comments are usually a pretty dark place filled with shade, trolling, and the occasional NSFW comment from a robot. Good times! But occasionally, the comments section is pure joy, like in the cast of Katie Holmes’ recent photo.
The actress posted a picture of herself wearing a bra and blazer, which is a behind-the-scenes snap from her shoot with Vogue Australia. And in the second photo (gotta swipe right), you can see a few stretch marks on her stomach. Considering we live in a culture where FaceTuning out the slightest wrinkle is the norm, this deserves applause. Commenters are praising Katie for embracing her “natural body.”
One commenter wrote, “Love how beautiful and natural you are with your body. You aren’t afraid to show your body exactly how it is,” while another said, “So bold!! I love that you’re slightly showing the pregnancy warrior marks. You go girl!!!!” Other commenters thanked Katie for “being real,” and one said, “Love you lioness stripes @katieholmes212 true beauty of a mother”
FYI, Katie isn’t the first celebrity to show off her stretch marks—Chrissy Teigen posted the marks on her leg with the iconic caption “whatevs” (love her):
And Kourtney Kardashian recently posted a photo of her stretch marks on Instagram.
