[:en]30 year old Dutch beauty and top model Lara Stone shows her completely un-retouched, post-pregnancy body in her System Magazine editorial.
Earlier Lara Stone (IMG Models) shared with The Edit that she had absolutely no concerns about her post-pregnancy body: “During my pregnancy, I wasn’t exercising a lot. I was in maternity-wear at nine weeks. I was just eating whatever I wanted; I wasn’t being careful about that at all. I was huge. Maybe in hindsight… No, I don’t give a s***. It was great!”
Lara continues: “It was about getting healthy. So that’s the eating aspect of things – which I’m not always good at, I go through stages – and then there’s the going to the gym aspect,” she admits. “It’s a whole change in lifestyle. I feel a lot more balanced. My energy is much steadier. I feel stronger and more confident.”
I love her down-to-earth mentality, especially as she works in a field in which looks, physique and appearance are of very high importance. Looking at her images I see a beautiful mature woman, wìth under-eye circles, a soft tummy and striae on her breasts. And you know what? That’s okay! This is what a post-pregnancy body and mother of a baby looks like without clothes. It reveals that Lara Stone gave birth to her first child, a baby son, one year and 6 months earlier in May 2013. Lara as a model and a mother looks amazing and pure. There are few women who look so stunning post-pregnancy!
Props to Lara Stone for sharing her post-pregnancy body with us in her beautiful editorial. From super model to super mom: go Lara!
