Body activist and plus-size model Ashley Graham has been named Maxim's sexiest woman in the world for 2023.
The 35-year-old mother-of-three beat out major celebrities such as Margot Robbie, Cara Delevingne and Ana de Armas for the title.
"Ashley Graham, the queen of curves, is a breath of fresh air in the fashion industry," Maxim said of its May/June cover star.
"In a world where size zero has reigned supreme for far too long, Ashley reminds us that the secret to overcoming it all isn't just about embracing your curves, but accepting yourself just the way you are."
Graham has become the face of the body positivity movement by challenging conventional views of what is 'sexy'.
In 2016 she became the first curvy model to star on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
"We can look at everybody's shapes and sizes, gender, ethnicity, and age as part of who they are; it doesn't have to be a negative or a positive," she told Maxim during their cover shoot.
"It should be something that's easily embraced, and we don't need to be having these conversations all the time.
"Our bodies are always changing, and they're always evolving. I've been using my own body as a tool to be able to talk about these feelings."
