WHEN supermodel Chrissy Teigen shared a photo of her stretch marks on Instagram a few weeks ago, the internet went crazy.

The photo garnered a casual 134,000 likes, received more than 9,000 comments and had women fawning over her - “@chrissyteigen JUST BECAME MY HERO” and “OMG. I love you” — you get the idea.

Now Teigen is taking her positive body image message one step further.

The smoking hot wife of singer John Legend has promised to never digitally alter the photos she posts online, because she wants young girls to realise even supermodels aren’t perfect.

“I have those apps, those Facetunes, those Photoshopping ones, and I just didn’t feel like doing it anymore, and I’m never doing it again, because I think we forgot what normal people look like now. The standard is so ridiculous,” she told US talk show host Meredith Vieira.

“It’s gotten to the point where they’re not smoothing their skin anymore, they’re actually changing the shape of their body. Nobody can compare to that when you’re fixing yourself so much. It’s so unfair,” she said.

“It started with Botox and everything, of course, but now it’s just grown into this Photoshop phenomenon — and I’ve seen these women in person — and they are not like that. Please know that. I’ve shot in barely anything with them, and it’s just amazing what people do to tweak themselves.”

It’s kind of sad that we have to congratulate a celebrity for NOT Photoshopping their Instagram photos. But with celebs such as Beyonce and Kim still at it, we’ll take the wins where we can find them.
