Katie Holmes Shows Off Stretch Marks In Unedited Instagram Post

Why be ashamed of something everybody has to some extent, right?

Inadvertently using their platforms to teach self-love to their fans — something we could probably all use a bit of.

Demi has always been a dedicated advocate to shutting down body-shamers, and the first and most effective way she does that is by being comfortable in her own skin, and flaunting what she's got.

Back in 2010, Jessica opened up to Self about her post-pregnancy body, saying: "I'll take the stretch marks. I’ll take the sagging boobs. I’ll take the cellulite I can never get rid of."

Being a "plus-size" model has always been Ashley's shtick, and we love her for it. She isn't afraid to show off her curves, and embrace her imperfections.

If we know one thing about Chrissy Teigen, it's that she is unfiltered. So, it comes as no surprise that she is comfortable and candid with fans about her stretchmarks as well.

Padma shared this photo to her Instagram story, confidently pointing out her stretch marks to her followers, looking completely unbothered — as she should be.

"I am posting this on behalf of young girls, women, and mothers of all ages. I'm enjoying a vacation with my son after a long season of shooting and being away from him for weeks at a time over those months. Since websites and magazines love to share 'celeb flaws' - well I have them!

"My body has given me the greatest gift of my life: Luca, 5 years ago. I'm turning 30 in September and my body is healthy and gets me where I need to go. Ladies, lets be proud of what we've got and stop wasting precious time in the day wishing we were different, better, and unflawed. You guys (you know who you are!) already know how to ruin a good time, and now you are body shamers as well," she wrote on Instagram.

Alicia has been setting a major example to all girls and women that we should be happy with ourselves, flaws and all. She always rocks the bare-face-all-natural-look, and she's confident in her own body, stretch marks included.

Kourtney's brand Poosh shared this image of Kourtney to their social media feed, and fans were delighted to see that Kourt was proudly showing off her stretchmarks in the shot.

Katie had her daughter, Suri, back in her 20s and has recently opened up about having no regrets about that. In fact, she was happy about it!

“How do I put this? Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match."

She recently posted a photo on Instagram showing them off.

You go, girl!

This is the level of confidence we should all aspire to be.

On top of having to go through a highly publicized breakup with Jamie Foxx after lowkey dating for six years (six years!), Katie's become somewhat of an unexpected fashion icon.

This matching bra-and-cardigan set Twitter on fire, and honestly, I can see why. She looks so comfortable — both in the outfit and in her skin!

"Accepting and loving her own bod too you can see the confidence," one fan tweeted. Another responded, "You really can! She looks better than ever."

It's amazing what having body confidence can do for your style and how you're seen by the world!

If you ask me, she looks fabulous and her beaming confidence is inspiring!
