has been praised by women everywhere for baring her stomach on the red carpet.

The model, 34, around seven months ago, meaning she and husband Justin Ervin are now a family of five.

Ashley, who married Justin in 2010, welcomed her first child, Isaac, two years ago, and is now a mum to Malachi and Roman as well.

She’s no stranger to talking all things body positivity and frequently posts empowering snaps on her Instagram, sharing every angle of herself with her 18.5million followers.

Rocking up to this year’s MTV VMA’s, Ashley looked stunning in a black cut-out gown, tummy on show and stretch marks having their moment.

Blowing playful kisses to the cameras, Ashley captured everyone’s attention with her killer curves and proved exactly why she’s one of the hottest models of the moment.

Continuing her mission to help others love the skin they’re in, just four days ago the model posted a close-up snap of her belly rolls, stating that she was ‘made in the image of God’.

She was, of course, bombarded with praise, with fans thanking her for helping them ‘feel better’ about themselves: ‘Thank you for for demonstrating us how to love our post partum bodies. Or just our bodies in general. We really need to see beautiful women like yourself lead the way ? ????
