A small brand that makes all the difference? In one of its traditional special issue "swimwear", the American magazine honors Kelly Hughes, in a bikini and an apparent cesarean section scar.


It is a "one" like no other.

In its iconic summer swimwear issue, the American magazine

Sports Illustrated

posed on the cover of the model Kelly Hughes, whose bikini shows the scar of caesarean section, without the slightest retouching.

Symbolic

For the 42-year-old Californian, the pose is heavy with symbols.

In a post on her Instagram account, she explains: “I have struggled with insecurities related to my scar, as I am a model and my recovery has been really difficult.

But it wasn't until I accepted my scar that I experienced its true power."

The snapshot was taken as part of a partnership with the

Frida Mom

brand , "which aims to normalize and accept the changes in a woman's body, especially when she becomes a mother", mentions the one who is a mother of a little boy in his post.

A reality less and less hidden

Among celebrities, the reality of post-pregnancy silhouettes tends to be less and less obscured.

On her Instagram account, model Ashley Graham, for example, regularly posts unfiltered photos of her postpartum body since the birth of her twins.

We will also remember the photos of actress Amy Schumer, five weeks after giving birth, in maternity panties and expressing her milk, or those of the belly of actress Louise Chabat, posted in May 2021, three months after giving birth.

Evolution

Micro-swimsuits, sensual poses, perfect bodies and brushing... For more than fifty years, the covers of the

swimsuit issue of

Sports Illustrated

magazine

have rarely cultivated subtlety.

However, the content of the magazine has evolved over the years.

For the first time in 2016, Nicola Griffin, a 56-year-old model, appeared in the pages.

Two years later, one fashion series was unretouched, and another featured Paralympic athlete Brenna Huckaby.

The following year, Somali-American Halima Aden was the first woman to pose in a burkini and hijab.
